ACCIDENT HAPPENED IN DECEMBER
Nurse was Rekindling Fire in a Stove and Poured Kerosene on Smoldering Ashes
and Her Clothing was Caught by the Flames.

After suffering from severe burns for two months, Miss Theresa McMahon died
at a hospital in Sioux City on Monday.

Miss McMahon was forty years of age and lived at Davenport, Iowa, for many
years before coming to Plymouth County. She was keeping house for a
brother, Frank McMahon, who resides west of Merrill, in December when the
accident occurred.

While pouring kerosene on warm ashes to start up a fire in the stove, her
clothing caught fire. She was severely burned about the chest and face.
She was alone in the house at the time but was able to call for help over
the phone. She was taken to a hospital in Sioux City. Slight hope of her
recovery was entertained since the accident occurred. She is survived by
her brothers, Frank and Will McMahon, residing west of Merrill.

Miss McMahon was a hospital nurse and for the past few years she had been
superintendent of the hospital nurses at the Iowa State University.

When the accident occurred, she was on a visit at her brother’s for rest and
recuperation. She was a native of Dubuque.

Funeral services were held at the Ellendale church on Wednesday morning.

GRAB TWO STILLS
McMillan, of Sioux City, Heads Raiding Squad

Sioux City Tribune: Two stills and approximately 60 gallons of liquor were
confiscated by the police and federal agents in a raid on the homes of
Julius Beck and Harry Bauhm in Lincoln township, about 15 miles northeast of
Sioux City, Tuesday afternoon. The raid was conducted by C. N. McMillan,
superintendent of the Woodbury County Anti-Saloon League, Patrolman William
A. Howes, member of the raiding squad, and a number of federal agents.

According to the story given out by Mr. McMillan, the raiding squad started
out about 10 o’clock Tuesday morning in search of the stills. Fully ten men
made up the party. The first place visited by the raiders was the home of
Harry Bauhm, located at the northwest quarter of section 30, Lincoln
township. They reached this place shortly before 2 o’clock.

The officers found no one in the house except Mrs. Bauhm, who evidently had
been operating the still during her husband’s absence, for the still was
warm and steaming, the officers said. The still was found in an upstairs
room with 50 gallons of mash and four gallons of the finished product near
at hand.

The officers, finding no trace of Mr. Bauhm, questioned the woman and
learned that Bauhm had left for Sioux City sometime during the morning to
market his wares. According to Mrs. Bauhm, her husband took a good sized
load of liquor with him, and had been in the habit of peddling the “booze”
in Sioux City.

The “home brew” outfit found the Bauhm home was, according to Mr. McMillan,
just a common wash boiler still, but was one of the most complete stills
ever found in the part of the country.

After confiscating the still and the “home brew,” the raiding officers went
to the southeast quarter of section 22 of Lincoln township, to the home of
Julius Beck, where it is said they found a milk can still and approximately
five gallons of liquor. The still in Beck’s home had evidently not been in
operation for a day or so. It was confiscated and brought to the police
station with the rest of the collection.

DIED OF PNEUMONIA
Henry Baack, of Liberty, Passed Away Saturday

township, died at one o’clock Saturday morning, February 19th, after a brief
illness with pleuro-pneumonia. He is survived by his parents, two brothers
and one sister. Henry was born and reared in that community and will be
greatly missed by his young friends as well as in the home. The funeral
services were held Monday at 12 o’clock at the house and 1 o’clock at the
Perry Creek Evangelical church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. P. E. Miller.
Interment was made in the LeMars cemetery.

OBJECT TO HIS PRESENCE
GEORGE AND HENRY BEAULIEU FILE CHARGE OF ASSAULT

George Beaulieu and Henry Beaulieu, Liberty township farmers, swore out
information on Wednesday before Justice of Peace, J. G. Koenig, against
Cecil McGruder, of LeMars. George Beaulieu swore out an information against
McGruder claiming the latter threatened to commit a breach of the peace.
Henry Beaulieu swore out information alleging assault and battery on the
part of the defendant. The cases were set for hearing before Justice Koenig
on Wednesday, March 2nd.

The cases arise out of a row which took place in Liberty township on Tuesday
afternoon. McGruder drove Mrs. George Beaulieu out to Liberty township to
see her children on Tuesday.

The Beaulieus gained notoriety last year when George Beaulieu secured a
divorce from Mrs. George Beaulieu in a sensational suit tried in the
Plymouth County district court.

The scrap on Tuesday, it is reported, took place in front of the school
house near the Beaulieu place, when one of the Beaulieus remarked to the
other, “there is the so and so that made some of the trouble.” McGruder was
sitting in his car waiting for Mrs. Beaulieu, who was visiting the children,
and when this remark was made got down to the ground and the scrap was on.
McGruder claims one of the Beaulieus hit him with a piece of a two by four.
Henry Beaulieu went to the ground with a well directed blow in the face.

With scrapping honors fairly divided in an uneven contest, the quarrel will
be continued in a court of justice next week.

Mr. McGruder furnished bonds for his appearance at the trial.
