SUPPOSED TO BE GONE
The smiling countenance of J. T. Brown, the wolf scalp hunter of LeMars, has
not been a prominent feature on our streets for a few days and there are
those who are unkind enough to report that he has left for parts unknown.
It is said that other crooked tricks than that of selling manufactured wolf
scalps have been developed. Brown said these arrests were spite work but
rumors say before he left he acknowledged the fact of having made wolf
scalps, but intimated that several prominent city officials and some of the
justices were "in it."
LEG BROKEN
A boy named Earnesterhoff aged fourteen, living east of town came to the
city Friday with a load of grain. When at the Gehlen crossing, his team
became frightened and started to run. The wagon struck a telegraph pole and
the boy was thrown out and his leg badly broken. He was taken to the Dubuque
House where he was cared for until Monday when he was taken home on a
stretcher carried by four men.

Friday, September 4, 1891
Local.
Mrs. A. Bulser went to Grinnell yesterday where she will remain for some
time with her mother.
Sam Williams, formerly a Central conductor who resided here a few years ago,
was in town yesterday.
At the Ladies Furnishing Store can be found a fine line of kid gloves.

home near Ireton this week.
Charley Klise, who holds a case on the Sibley Gazette, was in town yesterday

M.B. Tritz returned this week from an outing in the vicinity of Mitchell and
White Lake, S.D., where he was hunting and getting a little fresh country
air.
A club dance was given at the K. of P. hall Wednesday night. The
participants report having had a splendid time. Sassano and his harp
furnished the music.
The C. St. P. M. & O. Ry. Have a large force of men at work near the Union
depot on their water tank. The new tank when finished will hold enough water
to supply their trains a week without replenishing.
We have received the first number of the Akron Register. It is a neat five
column quarte and makes a very creditable appearance. If they receive the
proper encouragement, we believe Parsons & Son will give Akron a good paper.
We wish the new paper success and welcome it to our exchange list.
The six year old little girl of Mrs. Michael Lang, of Sherman township,
Sioux county fell into a cistern yesterday and was drowned before anyone was
aware of her being missing. Mrs. Lang is nearly distracted with grief, and
indeed has her full share of trouble as her husband committed suicide some
few months ago.
Last Wednesday evening a party of our wheelmen started to Remsen. Nothing
marred their pleasure until they had nearly reached the metropolis of the
east side. They were going down a hill at the rate of about 100 miles an
hour when the spring on Henry Hoffman's wheel broke and the machine became
unruly and threw him off in such a way that it left his pants in a condition
that it would not have been safe for him to stand with his back to a crowd.
Henry was put on a stretcher and carried to the Remsen hotel where he kept a
barred until his raiment had been repaired. The rest of the party returned
home on their wheels..
Parties have been arrested in Sioux City against whom there is good evidence
that they are the ones wanted for the stealing of the jewelry trunk at this
place some time ago. A lot of jewelry was found in their possession and they
are being held at Sioux City until the goods can be identified.
A "finger" sociable is the latest church entertainment. One was given at
Sibley the other night. A lot of girls were placed in a darkened room and
compelled to insert their fingers through a sheet. The fingers were then
sold at auction to the highest bidder, the young man securing it having the
privilege of accompanying the fair possessor to supper.
The Plymouth Roller Mill Co., have just received a car of very choice winter
wheat, free from rye and all foul seed, which they will sell at cost, $1.13
per bushel. This wheat has been thoroughly tested here for the past two
years and found to be hardy and reliable in this climate, and farmers will
do well to sow enough to raise their seed for another year.
Remsen Bell: Mr. Troy Tasshaller has been engaged as principal of our school
for the ensuing term, and the board had been so fortunate to secure Miss
Mary Byrne, sister of our county superintendent, for the primary department.
The Remsen Fair matter has gained a very flattering aspect. In less than one
hour last Monday a sum of one hundred and fifty dollars was collected from
our business men to defray preliminary expenses. All the matter needed now
is the hearty co-operation of our farmers. This year we cannot make the
thing as complete as it should be, but if the farmers will now show a will
to co-operate, we will have for 1892 a nice fair ground and a well-organized
county fair.
FATAL ACCIDENT.
Isaac H. Watkins, the seven year old son of Adam Watkins, who lives on the
Irwin place near Merrill, was run over by a wagon and fatally hurt this
week.
The boy was riding on a load of manure with his father and the latter as
they were going along suddenly noticed the team pulling as if passing over
some obstruction, and looking back, to his horror, saw the hind wheel of the
wagon going over the son's head. The little fellow's skull was horribly
crushed, the brain protruding. He was picked up and carried home but never
regained consciousness and died on Wednesday night.

BREAKING THE SABBATH AT LE MARS.
A Merrill man who is not up to city ways was in LeMars last Sunday. Of
course he was badly shooked and in consequence of which we find the
following in the last Record:
The Sabbath was not very well observed in this city Sunday. At Gehlen's dam
four teams and men were busily engaged in grading a new bank for the dam.
The Illinois Central had their gang at work on the road and the St. Paul
road had a large gang of men at work putting in a new switch near the Union
depot. The traveling men were playing ball near the City flour mills and
another game was in progress near the Catholic church. It seems as if there
is no law against Sabbath breaking.
THE SWISS REUNION.
Tomorrow at Utech's grove will be a grand affair and our Swiss friends are
doing their best to make the celebration memorable in the annals of this
county. All participants are requested to repair to the Helvetia hall at 9

Beely and toasts and all kinds of amusements will be indulged in.
FIRE IN STANTON.
Last Tuesday night Pat Foren's house in section 86, Stanton township, was
struck by lightning. It took fire and was totally destroyed, together with

on building and $200 on contents.

MERRILL MENTIONINGS.

The people of LeMars are shaking each other's hand over the prospects of
electric street cars for that city in the near future.

While T.N. Moore was dressing a beef last Wednesday a rope broke, letting
the beef down in such a manner that the knife was drawn through Mr. Moore's
hand, cutting the four fingers very badly.
There were at least a dozen men in the convention who could have utilized
Sam's time giving the audience real food instead of rank fodder. The short
speeches of the candidates, at the close, were gems as compar5ed with his
harangue.

SCHOOL HOUSE CASE
Miss Carrie Byrnes has been hearing a school house case at the courthouse
most of the week which was appealed from the sub district of America
township. The directors located a school house on the southeast quarter of
section 2, America township, on land owned by Paul Brauch and had it
condemned for school house purposes, and the damages apprised. Mr. Brauch
did not want the school house there, as it is eighty rods west from the
corner but offered them the corner acre. The corner that he offered is low
land and considered not fit for school house purposes by the board and they
declined to accept. Mr. Brauch appealed from their actions to the county
superintendent and the evidence was heard this week. The arguments in the
case have been postponed until Tuesday when a decision will be rendered.
James Struble appears for Mr. Brauch and P. Farrell for the board of
directors.

Rev. Faus; 2nd Vice President, Mrs. H.S. Payne; 3rd Vice President, Mrs.

The W.C.T.U. is one of the greatest agencies in the world today for the
spread of temperance society purity and religion. The Union in this city is
worthy of the sympathy and help of every man and woman who care for the
home. May their numbers and their influence be greater this year than ever
before.

the new place as soon as the auditor arrives and can check him out. He will

Our citizens generally will regret to see Mr. Frantz leave us, but as the
old adage runs, "what is our loss is probably his gain," and it is a
pleasure to know that he will be succeeded by so popular a young man as Mr.
Rawlings. Frank is in the city under orders to await the arrival of the

A $3,000 FIRE
About one o'clock Sunday morning a neighbor noticed a light at one of the
barns of James Nicholson who lives three miles southwest of this city and
about the same time the hired girl going to get a drink of water for the
children noticed the light and aroused the family. It was found that a fire
was raging in a hay barn and it soon spread to the horse barn which burned
very quickly. There were four buildings besides the house and to these had
been built large additions or wings and all of the four were quickly in
flames and burned to the ground. All of the hay and nearly all the farm
machinery in the buildings was burned and a few chickens. The stock was all
saved. The loss reached about $3,000 which was not insured very heavily.
Mr. Nicholson will proceed to build a fine large barn at once. The fire is
supposed to have been caused by spontaneous combustion.

NOT CONSISTENT.
The Merrill Record has a tabulated statement in its issue of September 17th,
in which it gives the comparative list of prices paid in surrounding towns
to grain, butter, eggs, etc. The prices assigned LeMars are lower than the
record in Tuesday's Sentinel which is corrected regularly Tuesday and Friday
mornings. In another column the Record gives its table away by
communication which credited to a traveling man, which discourses as
follows:
"There may be a half dozen teams who came too far already to go on LeMars; I
asked several of the business men the reason of the change and they one and
all attribute it to prices on grain being from 2 cts to 5 cts more in
LeMars, and the farmers will go where they can get the best prices and there
they leave their money in groceries, dry goods, machinery, etc., aye, even
in refreshments such as Merrill affords plenty of. All the business men I
have spoken to on the subject, have assured me that they sell goods as low
in Merrill as in LeMars, but the grain dealers will not pay as much. So its
driving the trade into LeMars. Even Hinton, I was assured, has a better
grain market than Merrill."
IMPORTANT NOTICE.
Taking effect Sunday, Sept. 20th, trains Nos. 11 and 12, known as the
Hawarden train will be discontinued and trains No. 3 and 4 will connect at

AKRON: (From the Register)
Station agent Searls has, in his office, a corn stalk which measures 14 feet
in length. We do not know who he got it of, but if the farmer who raised it
is not a pretty good sized man, he will have to hush his corn on stilts or
carry a step ladder with him.
Rev. Powell's farewell sermon was preached last Sunday morning. Those who
attended listened to a very interesting sermon from the text: "The harvest
is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved." Mr. Powell left for
Hawarden in the afternoon so there was no service in the Methodist church in
the evening.
On Tuesday evening Willie Gibson was examining the inwardness of a revolver
which he soon found, in the shape of a piece of lead in his left hand which
Dr. Ellis cut on the opposite side from where it went in. Boys, do not fool
with any fire arms smaller than a cannon. We earnestly caution parents
against permitting their boys to play with revolvers. There is not a week
passes by, that there is not a fatal accident recorded in which the deadly
revolver figures.
An attempt was made to way-lay, and probably rob S.A. Waterbury, of this
place, while on his way from Sioux City to Leeds, at about half past nine
o'clock last Sunday evening. The attempt was made by three men, who supposed
that they had a "sucker" but when one of them caught hold of him, and was
knocked down, the other two took their departure, no doubt thinking they had
tackled the wrong man. Mr. Waterbury took his new acquaintance to the
Merchants Hotel and placed him in charge of the police.
David Mills, son of D.M. Mills of Westfield, was suffocated by foul air in a
well which he was descending in order to clean out the sand which had
accumulated at the bottom. Mr. Mills cautioned his son about foul air and
wanted him to put a rope under his arms so that if there was any danger they
could pull him out. The son said there was no use in doing so as the well
was an open one and not deep. When they had let him down about 20 ft. he
called to them to hold on. They saw that something was the matter and began
to pull him up, but did not get him more than eight ft. when he was so
overcome with the gas that he let go his hold and fell to the bottom of the
well. This accident is doubly distressing to Mr. Mills and family is that he
lost a son by drowning last winter. Mr. Mills and family have the deep felt
sympathy of the whole community.
KINGSLEY: (Special Correspondence)
This correspondence reached the office too late for Friday's issue.-Ed.
Two of our oldest and most respected citizens are now lying dead in our
midst. Mr. J.J. Tibbetts died Wednesday, Sept. 16th, aged about seventy-five
years. Mr. Tibbetts has been in this community for a long time and was much
respected by all. For the past year or two he has been in poor health and
when he took to his bed his broken constitution soon gave way and he passed
away from his friends to the world beyond and almost before they suspected
that he was seriously ill.
Mr. Robt. McGee died at his home in Kingsley Thursday morning, Sept. 17th,
aged about sixty years. Mr. McGee has long been a sufferer from asthma many
times having attacks which it seemed would prove fatal. Monday he caught
cold which induced a severe spell of his old trouble. Being well along in
years and somewhat feeble he had not the strength to resist the disease as
he had done in the past. He passed quietly away with his sorrowing family
about him.
Our community will sadly miss both of these men. One and all grieve with the
sorrowing families and extend to them their sympathies in this hour of
affliction.

DRAGGED TO DEATH
George Anderson of Hinton Killed By A Runaway Pony. A Shocking Sight.
A shocking accident occurred at Hinton Wednesday in which a son of C. J.
Anderson was dragged to a dreadful death by a pony. It appears that George,
who is aged sixteen years, went either to a store or a neighbors for a ball
of twine to be used in typing the tops of shocks of corn together. His hat
was afterward found about a mile or more east of Hinton, show that he had
been dragged that far. He had put the end of the halter through the ball and
fastened it. When he was found the ball with the halter was found to have
made a loop or slip noose over his leg just above the knee and in this
manner the boy was dragged over a mile. The pony came into Hinton and ran to
the elevator. The dump was open in the drive way and he cleared it at one
bound. The boy was horribly bruised his skull being crushed in, in two or
three places, his body being fairly black with bruises and face badly
disfigured.
Of course not a particle of life was left in the body. It is supposed that
after tying the twine to the halter he threw the halter over the horse and
mounted, the brought the ball back over his leg, making the noose. It is not
know how the horse first took fright or how the boy was thrown. It is a very
shocking death to the parents and friends of the youth.
Mr. I. N. Goin, of this city, who got off the train at Hinton just as the
pony was caught, near noon, states that the sight was indeed a shocking one.

Rev. Samuel Snyder has returned from the Ft. Dodge M.E. conference. He has
been assigned to this charge again and will remain with us another year at

DROVE A FAST HORSE
"If I cannot trot down the home stretch to glory at a 2:30 clip, I want to
walk," said Rev. P.C. Stires, pastor of the M.E. church of Cherokee, before
the northwest Methodist Episcopal conference in Fort Dodge. Rev. Dr. Stires
was accused of conduct unbecoming a minister in owning and speeding fast
horses. In answer to a charge of racing, the accused preacher brought a
satchel full of affidavits to prove that he had never taken part in a speed
contest nor permitted his horses to go on the track. As to owning fast
horses, Mr. Stires pleaded guilty and gloried in it. He asserted that he was
not in a proper condition to serve the Lord in the most effective way unless
he owned the fastest horse in town. Not withstanding the preacher's eloquent
plea for his horses, the committee appointed to investigate the case decided
to locate Mr. Stires in a position which is practically suspending him from
the conference. The disciplined preacher owns some of the fastest horses in
the state. The report of his charge at Cherokee made the best showing of
successful work of any in the district last year.
GERMAN DAY
The Germans of this city have concluded that they can celebrate German Day
in LeMars in better shape than they can by going to Sioux City and there
will be a meeting at the city council rooms next Monday evening to make
arrangements for it. The population of this city and county is about half
German and there is no reason why they can not have a big celebration and a
better time at less expense than they could by going to Sioux City. This
will be strictly a non-partisian affair and there is no reason why there
should not be a big crowd and a grand time. All Germans are invited and
should attend the meeting Monday night.
A BOY DRAGGED TO DEATH
Geo. Anderson, a 16-year-old son of C.J. Anderson, a prominent farmer living
near Hinton, was killed Wednesday morning, being dragged to death by a
runaway horse. He was thrown from the horse in such a manner that he became
entangled in a ball of binding twine which he was carrying. His body was
horribly mutilated, several bones being broken. His hat was found a mile and
a quarter east of town, showing that he had been dragged a considerable
distance.
