PIONEER WOMAN DIES
MRS. MALVINA MOORE HAD ATTAINED A GREAT AGE
WAS RESIDENT IN COUNTY MANY YEARS
Was Born in Michigan Eighty-five Years Ago
Where She Was Married to Reuben Moore.
Is Survived by Five Sons and Two Daughters

Mrs. Malvina Moore, a resident of Plymouth county for the past thirty years,
died on Wednesday afternoon at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. R. Hinde
near Seney, at the age of eighty-five years. Death was due to general
debility hastened by dropsy and other complications. For the past year she
had been a great sufferer and death came as a release.

Malvina Harlow, was born near Coldwater, Michigan, on September 26, 1836,
and grew to womanhood in her native place. She was united in marriage with
Reuben Moore in Lake county, Illinois, where, following their marriage, they
lived for several years and then came to Iowa.

Mrs. Moore is survived by five sons and two daughters, who are, Milton
Moore, of LeMars; Ira Moore, Tacoma, Wash.; Will Moore, Haxtun, Colo.;
Clarence Moore, Seney; (error in typeset on original page--line skipped, not
all children named); Mrs. J. R. Hinde, Seney; Mrs. G. S. Dempster,
Springfield, S. D. (Transcriber note--one more son, Lee Moore.)

Mrs. Moore was a devoted wife and mother and one of the pioneer women of the
west, who unobtrusively and with practical ideas of the duties of a home
maker, helped materially in the building up of a new country and a new
community. She was among the many, unsung and unacclaimed, except by
immediate associates, knowing her worth, who helped to build up the middle
west one of the mainstays of the commonwealth.

The funeral will be held at the J. R. Hinde home this afternoon at two
o'clock, Rev. S. J. Wallace of Seney and Rev. A. C. Macgagney, of LeMars
officiating.

HEN FRUIT WAS AGED
Pure Food Inspector Warns Against Certain Practices

Jas. B. Connor, residing south of town, was fined twenty-five dollars and
costs by Justice W. S. Freeman yesterday in court on a charge of selling
rotten eggs.  Mr. Connor pleaded guilty to the charge.  The case as brought
by F. L. Odell, state pure food inspector.

Mr. Odell stated that there were sixteen inspectors in the state working at
present and that may similar cases had been prosecuted in Iowa in many cases
to obtain evidence in towns of late.  He said it was difficult case but that
a determined effort was being made through the state to put a stop to the
practice of many farmers who are in the habit of disposing of rotten eggs
and butter to wholesalers and grocery men.

He further stated that grocery and restaurant stocks are being vigorously
inspected.  He cited several cases where recently persons had been poisoned
by eating canned spinach and a search for cans stamped S.P.S. had been in
process by state inspectors.  He referred also to the time two years ago,
when a number of people were poisoned by lace of proper precaution when
sealed in jars.

Mr. Odell dwelt on the fact that the public should be protected from impure
food and nefarious practices of food purveyors and were entitled to warning.

The case of the state against Conrad Beelner and his wife, charged with
bootlegging, which was set for hearing on Monday before Justice Freeman, was
continued until Friday, June 9.  The parties are out on bonds.

INJURIES PROVE FATAL
Kingsley Youth Crushed to Death by Cars

Sioux City Journal: Suffering from internal injuries as the result of a
railway train collision at Kingsley, Iowa, Thursday afternoon, Anton Huss,
19-year-old son of Harry Huss, well to do Kingsley landowner, was rushed to
a Sioux City hospital where he died a few hours later.

The lad's injuries resulted when a special Chicago and Northwestern train
leaped through an open switch and crashed into a sandcar on which was
mounted a derrick. The derrick was forced through the cab of a truck
operated by young Huss, crushed him against the side of the cab.

Following the accident the boy walked to the railway station, 100 yards
away, and was taken home in an automobile, apparently uninjured. Later,
however, the lad began to suffer violent internal pains.

Then began a space defying race with death in which the lad was brought to
St. Joseph's hospital, where an operation was performed. It was found that
the lad had been so severely crushed that surgical aid was of no avail.
