July 16, 1888, at North Loup, Neb., Luther G. Potter was instantly killed. He was on his way home from the village with a load of grain in sacks, and as he was going down a hill some 80 rods from his home, the end gate of the wagon became loose and let the sacks of grain roll out onto his team. The team was frightened and began to run, throwing Mr. Potter under the wagon. His skull was fractured, his jaw broken and it was thought his neck was broken also. Mr. Potter was in his 39th year; he was respected by all who knew him, and was a kind husband and father and obliging neighbor. While Elder C. M. Lewis was pastor of the Farina Church, he made a public profession of religion and united with that church. His death was so sudden that it produced a very deep impression upon the community, and it is hoped that all will be led to "set their house in order," so that when the Master calls he will find each one prepared. G. J. C.
