     On Monday last, intelligence was received in Lambertville of the
   death of William Lake, who has been living for some time near Belle
   Plain, Kansas.  He was at one time a resident of Lambertville and was
   a brother of Cornelius Lake, of that place.  Mr. Lake was shot by a
   young man named Oran Troupe, living in the neighborhood.  It seems that
   there was a settlement between the parties, Mr. Lake having done some
   threshing for the Troupe family, and while the matter was being talked
   over on Monday afternoon, young Troupe drew a revolver and shot Lake dead.

   Mr. Charles Lake, an unmarried man, aged about 33 years, died very
   unexpectedly at the residence of his brother, Isaac, between Locktown
   and Sergeantsville, on Sunday night week ago. He had been suffering
   with toothache during the evening and the family retired leaving him
   sitting in a chair. When they arose in the morning he was dead, having
   passed away apparently without a struggle. He was a son of Mr. Thomas
   Lake. Heart disease is supposed to have been the cause of his death.
