AUTO CASE ON TRIAL
LOCAL PHYSICIAN IS DEFENDANT IN ACION
PLAINTIFF INJURED IN ACCIDENT
Dornbusch Receives a Verdict Against Man Who Warranted Seed Corn Was Sound and a Precedent is Established—George Gant Convicted
The district court is grinding away this week and has been exceedingly busy. In the case of John Dornbusch vs. John Mensen, the jury returned a verdict of $100 in favor of the plaintiff.
Dornbusch sued to recover $700 damages on account of poor seed corn which the defendant sold him. The defendant lives in the vicinity of Remsen and Dornbusch has moved to South Dakota since the time of the sale of the seed corn which was made in 1907. In that year Dornbusch bought twenty bushels of seed corn at $2 a bushels from Mensen. The action was brought in 1908. Dornbusch claimed the seed corn yielded fifteen bushels to the acre, whereas the other corn he had yielded thirty-five to forty bushels per acre. Mensen denied all the allegations of the plaintiff only admitting he sold the seed corn without any guarantee. Zink & Roseberry appeared for the plaintiff and Kass Bros. for the defendant.
The case of the State vs George Gant and Steve Gant was the next on trial. The defendants, who are youths of 18 and 16, were charged with malicious mischief. They reside in Westfield township. On December 19, 1909, Harley and Verne Small, with two girls, Rosa Baden and Miss Doyle, were going to Westfield. They passed the Gant place and asked Steve and Geo. to drive with them. The boys went to the house to get their coats and the Small boys by that time had whipped up the team and driven on, giving the Gants the merry ha ha. George and Steve jumped on their ponies and overtook the Small boys and stopped the team, and George is alleged to have begun to unfasten the neck straps of the team. The horses ran away and the occupants of the sleigh were thrown out, but were not hurt. One of the horses was killed. After hearing the evidence the jury returned a verdict of guilty against George Gant and acquitted the younger brother. Sentence was deferred. The defense rested principally on the fact of its being a boyish prank with no harm intended. F. M. Roseberry and County Attorney Keenan prosecuted and P. Farrell and D. Sullivan of Sioux City defended the plaintiffs.
Yesterday the $5400 damage suit of August Ruether vs. M..W. Richey was begun and a jury secured by noon. Ruether was injured in a runaway on August 25, of last year, and had his leg broken and suffered other injuries while driving to his farm one mile south of town. He alleges Dr. Richey and his automobile were the cause of the accident. J. F. Kass and P. Farrell appeared for Reuther and Zink & Roseberry for the defendant.
The costs in the state of Iowa ex rel Augusta Mangelson vs. Henry Marbach have been paid by the defendant. The judged of $800 was paid within thirty days following the trial of the case.

“Old Deestrict School” Scores a High Peformance
“The Old Deestrict School” drew a splendid audience at the opera house
Saturday evening. This rollicking two-act farce comedy was presented by
local talent in a most realistic manner. The stage was set to represent a
small school room and the first act depicted the Portlandville district
school back in the 80s, while the second act presented “sights and scenes”
just after recess in the same school. Paul Williams, as Ezekiel Simpkins,
the schoolmaster, had the situation well in hand at all times and used the
“spanking machine” with much dexterity. John Knudson, as “Tooty-Frooty.” The
smallest child in school and L.J. Cross, as “Deacon Tidd,” member of the
skule committee scored distinct hits in their impersonations and make-ups.
All the other members of the cast filled their parts to perfection and the
audience was kept in continual mirth by their department and sharp hits. A
well rendered violin solo by Albert Johnson won him a vigorous and merited
encore. Miss Esther Bradley presided at the organ while the school sang
several old-time selections. Mrs. C. R. Smith played several piano numbers
before the first curtain, and mandolin and piano selections by Mr. and Mrs.
H. L. Smith were given between acts. It proved a novel and pleasing
occasion, given under the direction of Mrs. Neil Robertson for the benefit
of the M.E. Ladies Aid. The total receipts were $118.50. Those
participating in the presentation were banqueted to a delicious oyster
supper by Mrs. A. H. Smith, at her home after the performance.

PIONEER WOMAN DEAD
WAS ONE OF THE FIRST SETTLERS IN STANTON
AN INVALID FOR FOUR YEARS
Mrs. E. Gosting, Who Lived in Plymouth County for Nearly Thirty Years, Dies After Long Illness, the Result of an Accident.
The funeral of the late Mrs. E. A. Gosting, brief mention of whose death was made in the last issue of this paper, was held on Tuesday morning at the Grand Rapids Undertaking Parlors and was attended by relatives and old friends. Rev. G. F. Whitfield, pastor of the First Methodist church, conducted the services and paid a fitting tribute to the virtues of the deceased woman, making a suitable and comforting address, reading the Twenty-third Psalm and offering prayer. The interment was in the city cemetery, were a brief prayer was offered and the remains laid to rest beside those of her father and two daughters who have preceded her in death. The pallbearers, old friends of the family, were: W. H. Perry, L. M. Bixby, J. Eberle, Adam Clarke, C. F. Werth and R. M. Latham.
Ellen Meader was born at Osborne, Isle of Wight, England, in 1846. When she was an infant her mother died. When a little girl she came with her father to Canada and in 1865 they came to Iowa, settling in Delaware county. Here she met the man who became her husband, Edward A. Gosting, who had then but lately returned from the front where he had served faithfully and bravely during four years of the Civil War.
They were united in marriage in Delaware county in 1866, where they lived until 1869, when they came to Plymouth county, homesteading in Stanton township, eight miles south of town. Here they toiled hard and underwent the privations and hardships concomitant with pioneer life, but were happy withal in their surroundings, their avocations, in their unselfish love and the rearing of their little family of daughters. In 1881 they moved to the Moore-Loring ranch in Elkhorn township, which they successfully superintended for nearly eight years. In 1888 they moved to Kingsley, where Mr. Gosting conducted a lumber yard for M. A. Moore for eighteen years.
About four years ago, Mrs. Gosting went from Kingsley to Mancester to visit a sister. While on this visit, one day while out driving, a horse ran away with the vehicle and Mrs. Gosting suffered a nervous shock, which was followed by a stroke of Paralysis. She was carefully nursed by her devoted husband and came back to Kingsley when sufficiently recovered to be moved, but gradually grew weaker. In her illness she longed for her girlhood home and old time associations, and with her husband returned to Manchester. During the four years she was a patient sufferer. In her affliction she displayed the Christian graces of fortitude and love. She longer to go and be at peace where the weary are at rest and awaited in hope the summons of the Lord. She passed away in the early morning of December 3, 1910. She sleeps in peace. From early life she was earnest Christian, born in a family where the worship of God was no mere form. Her earliest thoughts were directed to the higher things by a father who was himself a man of God, a preacher and worker in the vineyard. She united with the Congregational church in Kingsley when she went to that town and was a member of that church. Her belief in Christ sustained her in her last years, and the devotion of a loving husband whose solicitude for her welfare was as earnest, gentle and courteous as on the day on which he took her for his bride.
She is survived by her husband, a daughter, Mrs. Etta Redding, of Fayetteville, Ark. One daughter died in infancy and three daughters, Mrs. Byron Blackburn, Mrs. Bert Mills, and Annie Gosting grew to the beauty of womanhood and departed this life in youth, their early deaths being a lasting sorrow to the bereaved parents, whose mutual grief knit tighter the heart strings of affection. There are also two grandchildren.
Mrs. Gosting was a loving wife and mother, a friend in deed as well as in word, a neighbor in the truest sense, as can be testified to by scores of old residents. Her Christianity was not of the sour, puritanical kind, but was an uplift and help, a thing to be admired by those with whom she was acquainted, and who were admitted to the circle of her home. She was a woman who during her sojourn on earth did her best to make her home happy, surroundings pleasant for others, looking and hoping for the best, and finding a silver lining in every cloud.
Among those who attended the funeral from a distance were, Byron and Hazel Blackburn, of Pierson, the latter a granddaughter of the deceased and G. F. Krapfl, Kingsley.
----------
A pretty home wedding and one of interest to many more than the
friends who gathered as its witnesses was that of Miss Lula Mae Pollock
and William H. Dempster, celebrated in the home of the bride's parents,

December 7th.

pink and white which formed the aisle through which the wedding party
passed, and took their place at the improvised altar in the east parlor,
where the service was read, the ring ceremony being used.

who acted as ring bearer, and carried the ring in a cream rosebud.
The bride wore a beautiful gown of cream lansdowne with pearl
trimmings, and a shower bouquet of cream roses and lilies of the valley
completed the exceptionally pretty costume.
Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Dempster received
the congratulations of the relatives and friends present, eighty in
number.
The hospitable home was especially attractive in its decorations
for the festive occasion. The front parlor was decorated with autumn
leaves with ferns and other greens as a background, while the wedding
colors of pink and white were observed in the back parlor and dining
room. The wedding dinner was served in the dining room and here the
pink and white was carried out in the decorations by the large table
bouquets of pink and white enchantress carnations, and these colors were
also artistically used in the courses of the delectable menu served.
The young couple were the recipients of many beautiful and
valuable presents, including hand painted china, cut glass, silver and
fine linens.
The bride is the youngest daughter of the Hon. and Mrs. Henry
Newell and numbers her friends by the score and is very popular among
them.
The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Dempster, one of the
pioneer families of Plymouth county, and is a most worthy young man in
every way.
