Died --- Mrs. Hugh Edwards is in Franklin, O., where she was called by
the death of her father, W. H. Graham, sheriff of Warren County, who
passed away Saturday. Newspaper readers will remember the desperate
fight he had with bank robbers two years ago. In that battle he killed
one of the robbers and was himself badly wounded which wounds were
contributary to his death.
