SHOOTER STILL IN JAIL.

Editor Smith, of Storm Lake, is Denied Bail.

It has been decided not to admit Albert A. Smith, editor of the Buena Vista Vidette, who shot ex-County Attorney H. F. Schultz at Storm Lake last Saturday, to bail until every doubt as to the recovery of Schultz has been dispelled.

Schultz continues to improve, and it is the opinion of the attending physicians that he will recover. The only danger is blood poison in the arm, which was pierced by one of the two shots which took effect, and which was also fractured and severely bruised by his leap from the window.

Information has been filed by County Attorney Whitney charging Smith with assault with intent to commit murder, and the matter will be thoroughly tried in the courts.

A Woman As Editor.

A deal was consummated at Storm Lake Friday afternoon where Elizabeth A. Sohm purchased the Buena Vista Vidette from Albert A. Smith.

Died--At the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. F.M. Tully near Cedar Rapids, Nebraska, January 18th, 1905, Mrs. Dessa O. Kennedy, aged 27 years and 26 days.

Mrs. Kennedy was born at Piercton, Indiana, December 22, 1877, and came with her parents to Nebraska October 26, 1878, when less than a year old. She joined the M.E. church when only a child and grew up to mature life in Cedar Rapids and graduated from the Cedar Rapids high school in 1894.

She was married to C.A. Kennedy May 20, 1897, and to their union were born two children, one boy and one girl who are now living.

Mrs. Kennedy was taken with her fatal illness, consumption, about two years and four months ago. A change of climate was tried and everything known as a remedy was done for her recovery, but in spite of all, the dreadful disease worked it's way to its fatal termination. She suffered as is usual in such cases, but patiently borer her affliction to the end and died in the faith of life beyond where sooner or alter her two dear children and bereaved husband would join her to live together free from sickness forever.

While in health she was an active worker in the church and Epworth League. She was kind and affectionate and had many dear friends among her associates. Her experience as wife and mother was short, but the sweet influence she leaves behind will throw a brightness along the way of life and make it easier for her family left behind to follow on after her toward the better land.

The funeral is held at the house today at 3 o'clock p.m. conducted by Rev. Kellogg, and a large company of sympathizing friends will follow the remains to the cemetery on Sunset Hill.

Funeral of Mrs. F. W. Pearson

The remains of Mrs. F. W. Pearson, who died at Douglas, Arizona, arrived in LeMars on Saturday at noon accompanied by her husband, F. W. Pearson and her sister, Miss Sarah Eyres, and were taken to the home of her brother, Zack Eyres, on Main street until Sunday morning when they were taken to the Union Township Presbyterian Church of which she was a most devout member, where the funeral was held. The funeral was conducted by Rev. W. G. Moore, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of LeMars, who paid a beautiful tribute to her as a woman and Christian. The church was filled to overflowing by the life time acquaintances, who desired to give this evidence of their sorrow over her death. Six of her brothers acted as pall bearers and tenderly laid the casket beside that of her youngest child, a babe of four months who died last June.

Deceased was born at Manvers, Ontario, Canada, October 27, 1870, and with the family came to Plymouth County when they settled in Union township in 1883.

She was educated in the schools of this county, LeMars and Cedar Falls and entered upon the course of a teacher. She was one of the successful teachers of this county and was prominent in educational work. In 1900 she went to Nevada where in November she entered the civil service and had charge of a government school in Carson, Nevada, where she lived for a year.

On March 26, 1902, she was united in marriage with Mr. F. W. Pearson of Turner, Oregon, residing there for some time and resided at Wallace, Idaho, for two years where both of her babes were born. She came to spend the summer last year with her relatives in this county and suffered a great sorrow in the loss of her infant babe. She went to Douglas, Arizona, in November of last year, where her husband had preceded her to make their home. She was taken sick with pneumonia about the middle of January and died on the 26th day of that month. She leaves, besides a devoted husband, a babe of about two years, an aged mother, seven brothers and three sisters and a host of friends who are sorrow stricken over her death. With the exception of her father, the Eyres family was unbroken until her death.

The funeral of Carl Julitz, who died Wednesday of last week, was held Saturday
noon in the City hotel building. Rev’s Moore and Blackman conducted a brief
service, and to the few present, pointed out a moral lesson in the life of the
poor old man who died in poverty and almost friendless.

Acting as pallbearers were J. R. Jeffers, Ed Waterbury, A. Von Hagel, M. H.
Jans, A. G. A. Palm and Henry Kimball. Interment was made in the Akron
cemetery. Through the kindness and generosity of friends the remains were
given a respectable Christian burial and thereby saved from the remoteless
disposition of a medical institute.

J. R. Jeffers circulated a subscription paper that raised something like $40
for the purpose from the good people of Akron.
