T. J. KARR. W. T. HARWOOD. Much of this good-natured student's biography remains- yet to be written, but we predict that it will be one filled with the rewards of honest labor and constant application. He was, from the date of his birth, August 17, 1875, a native of Hamsoln, Hamil- ton County, Ohio, but at the age of four years he took his family with him to Butler County, that State. There he settled on a farm, and prepared to lead the simple life of a farmer, but in 1884 the roving spirit again became irresistible, and he treked for Kansas, and settled in Kingman. Fin- ishing the High School of that city in 1896, he en- tered the Law Department in Kansas University in the fall of 1898. What befell him in the interim we know not. WILLIAM -I. SELLARDS. JOHN A. BEAR. John A. Bear was born in Coffee County, Kan- sas, July 29, 1874. His parents, being interested in school work and the cause of education, sent their children to school, so that they might obtain an education.
