This littlu city on tho west

mer fellow cis, Judgo Barnes, a
life time fiicnd and an overseer of

qualities of the dead man.
Although tho sermon prepared
by Dowic hefoie his death -wns not
used in tho lunoral lites-, still it
was giien out for publication.
This seimcn nuike-. it ijdninly evi
dent that Diwio did not forgive
his enemies hcfoic he died, as ho
lashes thoc who ousted him form

concluded his jiosthunnous sermon
in tliu following manner
"I .shnll reluin and with ruth
less hand shnll I exterminnto the
vipers ind the dc,r,'s. of hell that
