A Breech Of Promise Case Settled on Payment of $15

Doon Press: A breach of promise case was settled in Doon [Iowa] Monday for
$15.

Mrs. Charlotte Pasch, of Garfield township, a widow who confesses to 53
summers, came to Justice Scott's office and through an interpreter said that
Louis Gross, of Doon township, a young man on the sunny side of 35, had
promised to marry her, but did not seem inclined to redeem his promise.
Gross happened to be in town, and the squire sent out for him and he came
in. The squire stated the complaint of the woman. Gross admitted the soft
impeachment and declared his willingness to marry her. It was verbally
agreed between the parties that Gross would procure the license Tuesday and
they would wed Wednesday.

About an hour later Gross and Mrs. Pasch appeared before the squire with the
statement that the matter was compromised. Gross was to pay the widow $15
and she was to release all demands upon him. The money was paid to her and
she gave a receipt in accordance with the terms of the settlement.

It is said that the woman preferred $15 to Gross as a husband because he was
about to move to Alberta, Canada, and she did not desire to go so far into
the wilderness and away from good society.

This is said to be Gross' second escape from the matrimonial noose lately.

AKRON: (From the Register)

Tuesday morning a few minutes to three o'clock a fire was discovered in the
rear of Gallageer & Co's drug store by the night watchman. The engine was
soon hustled out and put to work and in less than five minutes the hose was
adjusted and put in operation. The building was already on fire up to the
roof when the water was poured on. The cause of the fire is generally
supposed at the time of the excitement to have been caused by spontaneous
combustion, but in day light many who have examined the ruins and reasoned
well believe that it is a pure case of incendiarism. The fire started on the
rear door inside, and later after rigid examination their belief is
strengthened. It is to be hoped that the incendarist will shortly be
brought to justice. The loss of stock and store house is variously
estimated from $1000 to $1200, but as a small insurance policy is carried it
is not believed that the loss will be fully recovered.

T. J. Reeves and Andrew Wallin returned home from their trip to Pierre last
week. They report the country through which they passed as being beautiful,
but the hard withered grass tells a tale that a prayer for rain from time
immemoral has been offered in vain.

The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Saathoff died last Monday after a few
days sickness. The funeral services were held at the home Wednesday at one
o'clock p.m., conducted by the Rev. J. W. Neyman.

Olof Ericson died Wednesday morning at fifteen minutes past twelve. Funeral
services will be held at the residence at ten o'clock a.m. and then proceed

The work on the waterworks which has been suspended for several weeks was
resumed last week. Tuesday the joints of the pipes entering the river were

DIED:

BETSWORTH-At her home in this city, Friday, March 8, Alvira Dorothy
Betsworth, wife of Capt. B. F. Betsworth, aged 72 years, 9 months, and 18
days.

Capt. Betsworth has the sympathy of many friends throughout the county in
the loss of the worthy woman who had lived at his died during the past
fifty-six years. With her husband she had endured the hardships of pioneer
life in the west and through it all lived with an earnestness of spirit and
purpose that had always made her a model wife and mother in the community.
She had always been a devout Christian woman and her life throughout was
always most blameless and during her last days she accepted her approaching
transition of soul with a spirit of resignation so sweet and unfearing that
it was closely allied to happiness.

The funeral services were held at the First Methodist Church yesterday
afternoon at 2 o'clock and the large concourse of people that gathered to
hear the religious rites over the remains was one of the best marks of
appreciation and respect towards the family that first settled upon the site
our beautiful city that could have been displayed.

The member of the Old Settler's Association had been notified and a large
number of them, not only from LeMars and vicinity, but from Hinton, James
and other distant portions of the county, made their appearance at the
ceremony and attended the funeral in a body. The funeral possession was one
of the longest ever participated in in the city, about sixty equipages
following the remains to their final resting place.

The following gentlemen assisted as pall-bearers: P. F. Dalton, Thos.
Adamson, Jas. McCartney, Chas. Adamson, G. H. Spring and J. W. Myers.
During the progress of the procession over the railroad tracks the vehicle
in which they were seated broke down.

Rev. Joel A. Smith officiated the funeral services and in the church he read
the following account of the deceased:

Alvira Dorothy, a native of Somerset County, Maryland, was born May 5, 1822.
She was united in marriage with B. F. Betsworth December 28, 1839. To this
union there were born eleven sons and four daughters, nine sons and the four
daughters still live to revere the memory of a sainted mother. Father and
Mother Betsworth removed from Maryland to Kama, Ill., county in 1856 where
they remained until 1866 when they came to Iowa and settled in what is known
as LeMars. They had the honor of living in the first house raised on the
site of LeMars-a log house, where the brick yard now is-which with the first
two frame houses erected in the city were built by Father Betsworth. One of
these is now owned by David Gibbs on Franklin street. The second house was
located where St. Joseph's Catholic church now stands.

Beginning life in Plymouth county Mother Betsworth shared with her husband
heroically the privations that are known to the pioneer of this western
land. She was truly a faithful helpmate. While her husband was breaking the
first ground in this part of the county she saw to it that her family were
well cared for in every way. She was the only instructor until after the
first school house was built, in which their eldest son taught the first
term.

To Mother Betsworth was given the honor of entertaining the first gospel
service held in LeMars in her own house. From that day until her death, the
minister of the gospel always had a welcome. It was the itinerant's home.
The all-important question was settled in the first revival meeting held in
the old church, when she gave her heart to God. From that day until her
last conversation regarding her soul, she said confidently, "It is all
right." Although compelled to be absent from our meetings this winter she
would inquire diligently regarding the Lord's work, then hearing of what was
being done for souls she would sit and weep for joy on account of the good
news.

REICHMANN-At her home in this city at half past twelve Sunday night,
Wilhelmina, the wife of Ferdinand Reichmann, aged 51 years.

By the decrease of Mrs. Reichmann the family of another old LeMars settler
is sadly bereaved. Mr. and Mrs. Reichmann came to this city in 1871 and
since that date had lived within its confines and during the past nineteen
years residing in the present home of the family on Cedar street.

The deceased had been quite ill for the past two months but within the past
two weeks her ailment became so severe as to warrant the summoning of her
absent sons, Charles and Ferdinand, from Hamburg, and Frank, from Remsen, to
her bedside. For several days past it was realized that the end was at
hand, it being almost hourly expected and last night at midnight she
peacefully breathed her last. A brother, Anton Lambert, of Remsen, was also
at her bedside at the time of her death.

Mrs. Reichmann had always been a devout Catholic and she raised a family of
10 children, all of whom are now living in her own faith. She proved
herself a good mother and cheerful, happy wife and her decease leaves a
vacancy in the home circle that will long be noticed.

Her maiden name was Lambert and she was born in Tyrol in 1844 moving to
America with her parents in her girlhood and at once settling in Dubuque
where she met and was married, in 1862, to Ferdinand Reichmann. Nine years
later the couple moved to LeMars.

The funeral services will be held at St. Joseph's church Wednesday morning
at 10:30 with Rev. Father Meis officiating.

SMID-At the home of her parents on the Horrigan farm, six miles northwest of
town, Tuesday, March 5, Laurel Smid, aged 18 years.

The young lady had a severe attack of diphtheria two months ago and her
decease was caused by resulting ills. The funeral occurred Thursday morning
and the remains were interred in the Catholic cemetery.

HANCOCK: (Special Correspondence)

The Bella Vista mission has not as yet reached a conclusion as to the
building of a church which has been talked of for some time. An article
being published in the Sioux Valley Chief, which was of a clannish nature,
has had much to do in the canceling of the best interest of this valuable
enterprise.

The friends of Jap Betsworth gave him a farewell reception a few evenings
ago. He leaves us soon. We, whom he regards as friends, have many regrets
to express at his departure. Mrs. Betsworth is one of those noble hearted
women of whom it can be said, when she makes an acquaintance she makes a
friend. She will be missed by all who know her. As yet their destination
has not been made public.

Hancock the coming season and fill the office of assistant commissioner for
C. J. Milligan, who holds the office of road commissioner. There is much
work to be done and Willie desires to make good the amount lost in the fire
that belonged to the township. At a meeting of the township trustees on the
2nd of this month, Mr. Carlisle entered into a contract with the board to
work out the amount yet due on settlement which will speak much to his
credit.

Andrew Palm has been appointed city waterworks engineer. He is an expert
engineer, having run several engines the past few years and will no doubt
fill the bill satisfactorily.

A practical test of the waterworks equipment was made on Thursday and
Saturday of last week. Two lines of hose were attached and three plugs
opened. The pressure threw a stream of water thirty feet above the top of
the elevator. The council met Tuesday evening and accepted the plant from
the Smedley Manufacturing Co., and also the hose from the firm from which it
was purchased. The deep well pump has a capacity of 400 gallons per minute
at 100 strokes of the pump, but the capacity can be increased if run faster.
Both of these pumps show excellence of construction and they do their5 work
apparently without fault. The mains were laid in an acceptable manner under
the direction of the local engineer.

Housea Housted has secured a job on James Russell's farm near Dalton for the

A very pleasant surprise party was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo.
Toppings last Thursday night in honor of Herb McCaustland, it being his 19th
birthday.

J. F. Waterbury purchased his father's interest in the stock last week and
has formed a partnership with his brother Henry, under the firm name of
Waterbury Bros.

J. C. Mellen and Geo. Way, who were tied for the honor of councilman, had an
opportunity to cast their lot last Monday night. The result is that Geo.
Way the painstaking assistant cashier of the Savings bank will be our
councilman for three years.

A tin shop outfit was put up in Bly Bros. new store room last week with Ed
Klauer as head of the equipment, ready to do any kind of work in his line.
Ed has been employed by Glezen & Son for several years and earned a good
reputation for his workmanship.

There was a lively runaway last Tuesday afternoon. A young man and lady
were taking a sleigh ride and while crossing a culvert the cutter tipped
over, causing the horses to give a jerk. The whiffletrees were broken and
soon the horses detached themselves and ran about two miles before they were
caught.

Arlo, the 6-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bly, died last Monday
afternoon, after an illness of three days, and was buried in the Akron
cemetery Wednesday from the Baptist church, Rev. Neyman conducting the
services. The deceased caught a cold which speedily turned into grippe that
ended his short career. The sorrow of the parents under such circumstances
can be measured in words, and in their affliction they will find a
responsive chord in the hearts of this community.

Last Monday from 12 to 7 o'clock p.m. the school election was held in the
school room. Considerable lively canvassing was indulged in to elect tow
directors to succeed Dr. Clark and E. F. Shaw. The result of the election
was a surprise to the parties, the honor going to the country candidates by
a handsome majority. Three tickets were put in the field. According to the
clerk's report the result is as follows: James Ross 173, W. B. Holler 150,
Geo. W. Raish 91, and Ed Searls 89. Total votes were cast 258. The
appropriation of $2,000 for school purposes was carried by 21 majority, the
vote being 127 to 106. It is probably that the west end of the city public
school building will be taken down and an addition be put up to hold one or
two more school rooms. At present the building is too small to accommodate
all the pupils of this city and for several years the primary classes have
been assigned to another building. The school building is badly in need of
repairs and this will receive proper attention this year.
