Marcus News: Coroner G. A. Brink, of Marcus, was summoned last Friday to
hold an inquest over the body of Mrs. Albert Regenetter, who was found dead
from a bullet wound at her farm, near Washta.
Mrs. Regenetter had been busy churning and when dinner time came sent her
three children to call their father. While they were away, she used a .44
shotgun, killing herself instantly. Ill health is believed to have been the
cause of the act. Mrs. Regenetter was 29 years old.

THREE INJURED IN SMASH-UP AT SENEY
Two Sedans Collide Head-On --- One of Them Wrecked Completely in Accident
A Ford sedan driven by Charles LaBrune, of Jefferson, South Dakota, collided
Friday noon with a big sedan belonging to C. F. Betz, of Sioux City, just
south of the Seney. The Betz car was driven by Miss Helen Betz.
The Betz car was coming south, the party having spent a vacation at the Iowa
lakes. The other one was going north. According to La Brune, that Betz car
was on the wrong side of the road, and in order to avoid a collision he
turned to the left. A moment later Miss Betz turned in the same direction,
crashing into the side of the small sedan.
Other occupants in the Ford were the Misses Katherine, Elizabeth and Eileen
Ward and Margaret Gearke, all of Sioux City. Passengers in the Betz car were
Mrs. C. F. Betz, Mary Frances Betz, Colonel Frances Betz, Margaret
Fitzsimmons. Mrs. Betz suffered from shock and cuts. Misses Elizabeth and
Eileen Ward were badly cut about the scalp. They were brought to the
Community Hospital where Dr. J. A. Lamb dressed their wounds. Mrs. Betz was
able to leave for her home Saturday night. The two Ward girls are still
under treatment and Eileen was put in charge of a special nurse Saturday.
Responsibility for the mishap has not been fixed. The small car was almost
completely demolished, the engine being about all that is left of it. The
big sedan was severely dented and was hauled to Sioux City at the back of
Deviney's truck. The scene of the accident was strewn with the wreckage.
The La Brune car was fitted with a couple of extra wheels and towed to the
Will Henrich place in Seney to be put in storage until settlement is made.

GIRL STILL UNCONSCIOUS
Hawarden, Ia., Aug. 6 – Miss Ruby Pocklington, 23 years old, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Walter Pocklington, injured in an automobile accident July 19, is
still unconscious from her injuries and little change has been noted in her
condition. Thought she has been given some nourishment, it is believed she
cannot much longer continue in the same condition and it is feared she will
not survive her injuries.
SPEEDERS BEHAVING LIKE THEY SHOULD
Mostly Out-Of-Town Motorists and Few Local Drivers are Paying Fines to the
City
Policeman Barney Berg, who has been on speed duty in LeMars for a little
over a week, is at last making the speeders behave, although there are still
a few local people who are caught, due to their own carelessness in driving.
Most of the speeders who are donating $10 and costs to the city are
out-of-town drivers and say, “I didn’t know where the city limits were.”
This argument is “bunk” to Justices W. S. Freeman and J. G. Koenig, so the
speeder digs into his pocket and shells out with the necessary amount of
money.
A curious incident happened Monday night. Policeman Berg was patrolling the
road leading into LeMars from Sioux City and managed to catch one speeder.
He was brought before Justice Freeman and fined $10 and costs. He gave his
name as Harry Wagdin, of Sioux City, and said he was going to attend the
klan meeting. He had a bass drum in the car, and apparently was part of the
newly organized band which the klan took up.
WITH K. CO.
Camp Dodge, Ia., Aug. 3 – We arrived here at about 10 a.m. Sunday and
everybody is feeling fine. It is very hot in the day time but cold at
night.
Today we are just getting used to camp. The boys don’t care to get up at
5:30 a.m., but they have to. We have very good eats and good cooks. Moving
picture shows every night, free.
Co. K. has 52 enlisted men and two officers and two mascots, about the
largest company in camp and hope to have the best company to take home. –
Sgt. Hans P. Jensen, Co. K., 133d Inf., I.N.G.
Private Marion Parkinson was detailed to get the cannon report.
Corporal Burkett has ordered a bicycle for Private Sieverding on account of
his late sleeping qualities.
Sergeant Reese wants a water tub for Parkinson. He is always drinking in
line.
Private Robert Edwards reports he has gained 5 ½ pounds in two days.
The night riders have organized and are riding nightly. Several report cots
tipped over and their hands in hot water.
Private Fred Woods is playing his daily game of African golf, in which he
lost 5 cents.
James Edwards, the company wrestler, won his match from Meyers, of A.
Company in Dubuque.
K company is eating high while Sioux City has bread and tomatoes about every
meal. This is the best fed company in the 133d.
Private Dwight Moor right shoulders arm to four counts, while the rest of us
bet by three in three.
Private Fred Wood is still looking for a left handed rifle. He hopes to
find it in regimental headquarters.
Private John Zeig went to the supply room for his coffee.
The automatic riflemen are: Corporal Lockard, Clarence Kilker, Donald
Munro, James Edwards, Walter Heeren. The record is one minute and 30
seconds for putting their rifle together, winning over all companies in the
133d, I.N.G.
The sergeant’s squad tent was visited by a pretty striped cat that turned
out to be a skunk which a drunken guy from I Company chased in with a
bayonet. Private Zeig is looking for the firing line.
No member has been sick.
BED SHEET MEETING TAKES IN SOME MONEY
A nice little sum of money was made at the klan meeting, held on the old
city dump grounds, across the street from the tourist’s park, Monday
evening. While the attendance was not so good as the week before, the
collections were better. The price of admission has been reduced, too, it
being found that many of the most violent klan adherents could not raise
more than $10. The redeeming feature of this admission fee, however, is
that the local organizers are said to get 40 cents on every dollar taken in
so most of the money remains in LeMars, after all.
A pretense of a guard was maintained, but it was very easy to get in if one
had a few nickels to jingle in pockets.
The bed-sheet parade, participated in by 28 kluckers, was one of the first
events. A newly organized band played and the spectators gave generously.
One LeMars man, who never gave a nickel to the LeMars Municipal band,
clanked in with half a dollar.
A male quartet sang:
“I’m a member of the kluklux klan,
kluklux klan, kluklux klan,
I’m a member of the kluklux klan,
so why shouldn’t you be too?" Or words to that effect.
After every entertainment concession men would come out and sell books.
These books sold generously. A confectionary stand was provided to catch
stray pennies.
The next speaker was a woman. She said Columbus never discovered America;
only South America, and that the latter country is 90 per cent Catholic,
degenerate and illiterate. In fact, it appears that those radicals who were
formerly attracted by Bolshevik radicalism will now be attracted by kluklux
klan radicalism. Observation of Klan konverts in LeMars and a check-up of
their records will show whether this suspicion is right or not.
If it is right, then the klan may be performing a beneficial service. Some
kind of a sink is needed to catch the cranks, radicals, and fanatics. If
the klan is extreme enough then it will be no different from other
organizations in LeMars. It will be harmless, and worth the money in a
social way.
At present the klan is of no consequence. If it were it would be able to
prevent The Globe-Post from printing these things.

ONE KILLED WHEN HOT ASHES DUMP
BROTHER OF MRS. J. L. REEVES IN SERIOUS CONDITION FROM BURNS
Dr. and Mrs. J. L. Reeves were in Sioux City yesterday to visit Mrs. Reeves'
brother, Mark McDonald, who is in a serious condition due to burns. They
found him slightly improved. The following dispatch gives details:
Burns suffered Saturday afternoon when a heavy ash gate at the Sioux City
Gas and Electric company power plant emptied unexpectedly, and poured its
red hot contents upon four workmen, resulted in the death of Henry Busser,
621 Fawcett street.
Busser was directly under the huge gate containing several yards of the fine
hot ashes when it gave way. He literally was covered with the stuff and
died four hours later at a Sioux City hospital.
The deceased had been employed by the gas company for several months and had
made his home in Sioux City for several years. Surviving are his widow and
three children. The body is at Westcott's undertaking parlors pending
arrangements.
THREE OTHERS BURNED
Three other men, Mark McDonald, 3810 Orleans avenue; George Brown, 311 South
Fairmont, and Grant Davis , of South Sioux City, were seriously burned. Of
the three, Mark McDonald was the most seriously burned, the hot ashes
striking him in the head, body and limbs. The other two men were not so
close to the gate.
Company officials were at a loss to explain how the accident occurred other
than to say that the gate was new and had been used but comparatively a few
times. It works automatically and opened before the workmen underneath it
were expecting it.
Ambulances and police were called immediately and the men taken to a Sioux
City hospital, where it was reported early this morning that Brown was
resting easily. McDonald and Davis, who were removed to the Methodist
hospital, were reported to be slightly improved and resting easily.
HAS NARROW ESCAPE
In hurrying to the bedside of her husband, Mrs. Brown narrowly escaped
serious injury herself. She was riding in a car driven by George Claridge
and Claridge in his haste to get to the hospital turned out to pass another
car on the Military road a short distance from Riverside.
Just at the time another car swerved to the left and to avoid crashing into
it, Claridge swung his car into a steep embankment.
The car nearly upset, but none of the occupants was thrown out. Several
passing motorists stopped their cars and assisted Claridge in getting his
automobile back on the road so that there was little delay.
WITH K. CO.
The following article was taken from the Bull's Eye, the official Camp Dodge
weekly:
L's Bells
There has been a strong smell of skunk near "K" company, 133d, and Captain
Huxtable has been doing quite a little worrying about it. Lieutenant F
air, of "M", asked what the smell was and Huxtable said that he had a skunk
in his company street. Captain Young, also of "M", asked "Hux" how may men
he had in his outfit and "Hux" said 64. Lieutenant Fair said, "Well, with
the skunk you must be up to full strength now."
Several promotions were made in camp when John Fletcher got promoted to
sergeant; Gene Brucher to second lieutenant, and Glenn Earnest to first
lieutenant.
Thursday was range day and some pretty good scores made. More details will
come on this as soon as range work is completed. Range work will continue
as soon as clear weather comes.
The happy squad is called the Midnight Serenaders.
There was a pie throwing contest in the mess hall and the results were:
Private Joe Sutton with a pie face. They were detailed to scrub the mess
hall this noon.
The same as usual, the best fed company all the way through. Mess Sergeant
McCoy is sure on the job.
Private Pins was sent over to Company I for five pounds of perking meat.
The company has gone wild, now a troop of women are going past.
Rained Friday morning.
The happiest squad in the company is in tent number 6, consisting of
Sergeant Fletcher, Privates Charles Kilker, Vincent Lanners, Robert Edwards,
Darwin Davis, Harold Kolker. When they came in from range Friday night,
wet, cold and hungry, their tent was almost down from the rain and wind.
But when they put the tent up, they were as happy as a kid with a new pair
of shoes.
Private Marion Parkinson was seen taking a picture of a "bug."
Captain Walter Huxtable reports that he is going to buy Sylvester Gergen and
Fred Woods a bottle with a nipple on it.
Private Clarence Kilker says there are 25 feet in five yards.
Only one man in camp was sick, the victim was Private Vincent Lanners.
SECURE EQUIPMENT BUT MAN MISSING
OFFICERS MAKE RAID ON NABB FARM NEAR WESTFIELD DURING NIGHT
Sheriff Hugh Maxwell and Deputy Sam Lang made a raid on the Ervin Nabb farm,
near Westfield Thursday night, and secured all the necessary equipment
required to make "hootch," including five barrels of mash, 30-gallon still,
pressure tank, burners, funnels, etc., but arrived too late to capture the
distiller.
Mr. Nabb, who owns the farm, is visiting in the east and left the farm in
charge of Cal Davidson, the man who is still at large. Mr. Nabb was
notified to come home to take care of his chores. Apparently, the still was
being operated by Davidson during his employer's absence.
When the officers arrived within a mile of the place, a ring gear was
stripped in the car delaying them. They walked the mile and arrived just
soon enough to see the distiller disappear in a cornfield, together with
another man, possibly his assistant.
The neighbors around the Nabb farm are taking care of his place until he
returns.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE BURGLARS; GIVE'EM A CHARGE OF SHOT
The fact of the matter is that the epidemic of burglary and thievery in this
part of the country is mostly the fault of the people who are the victims.
There is no use falling against the police or the sheriff's office. It
would take scores of men to really protect LeMars, with its miles of
streets. It would take hundred to seriously interfere with thieving in the
country. Property owners should learn to take care of their own property.
The simples and cheapest way to foil the burglar is the electric burglar
alarm. If your garage or barn is 100 or 200 feet from the house, you can
nevertheless know instantly if someone is at the doors, windows, or other
openings. After that a charge of shot, a pistol or rifle bullet well aimed
will dispose of the burglar, and the lessen will not be lost on other
budding young thieves. Or if you prefer, you can call for the police.
The cost of an efficient burglar alarm to protect the entire premises is $6
or $7. Opening any door or window after it has been closed, cutting or
breaking a wire, will sound the alarm. Anyone wanting to build this alarm
may have details free at The Globe-Post office.
BOLD BAD BURGLARS NEEDED NEW CASINGS
Poor Lighting Aids Night Workers Getting Away With $280 Worth of Loot
Not satisfied with the $340 worth of tires taken from the Auto Salvage
company last week, the bold bad burglars entered the private garage
belonging to the M. A. Moore house in the northeast part of town and stole
four tires and a spare from the Studebaker sedan owned by Miss Alice Moore,
taking rims and all, also a chain and padlock. The tires, nearly new, were
valued at $250. In fact, the spare had never been used, having been put on
to replace a spare that was stolen a month ago.
Owing to the isolated position of the garage no one had the slightest
intimation of anything being wrong. Fay Smith, who went by on a milk route
about 2:30 yesterday morning, says he thought the garage doors were still
closed then. Jake Eberle, Gardner, discovered the robbery yesterday
morning. The garage doors were standing wide open. The street lights were
not lit last night, the clouds made it dark enough to hide burglary from
casual observers.
QUIET WEDDING AT STRUBLE

DEATH TAKES AGED WOMAN
Mrs. Mary Eyres Succumbs to Heart Trouble and Other Infirmities
RESIDENT FORTY YEARS
With Her Husband Was Early Settler in Union
Mrs. Mary Eyres, a resident of Plymouth county for more than forty
years, died at her home, 909 First avenue SE, Tuesday morning, after a brief
illness. Death was due to heart trouble and infirmities of age, from which
she had suffered for some time. She was 88 years of age.
Mary Walsh was born in Durham county, Ontario, Canada, November 15,
1837, and was the oldest of nine children and the last one of her brothers
and sisters to hear the final summons. She grew up and was educated in her
native place and January 31, 1856 was united in marriage with Isaac Eyres.
They made their home in Durham county until 1873, when they moved to Lambton
county, where they farmed for several years.
Early Settler in Union
Mr. and Mrs. Eyres came to Plymouth county in March, 1881, and bought
land in Union township, where they farmed successfully for many years. Mr.
Eyres was accidentally killed in a fall from a windmill tower December 7,
1894. His wife continued to reside on the farm with her children until
1901, when she took up her residence in LeMars. For the past two years she
made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Wm. Begg, where she passed away
Tuesday, August 11, at the ripe age of 87 years and 9 months.
Mr. and Mrs. Eyres were the parents of eleven children, seven sons and
four daughters, all living except one, Mrs. Margaret Pearson, who died in
January, 1905.
The children all reside in LeMars and are William, Zach, Thomas,
Wesley, Richard, Charles and Ernest, Mrs. Wm. Begg, Mrs. Albert Stokes and
Miss Ethel Eyres. There are thirty-three grandchildren. Three
grandchildren preceded her in death.
She was a devoted wife and Presbyterian church [member], being
affiliated with the church in Union and later with the First Presbyterian
church in LeMars.
Mrs. Eyres was a devoted wife and mother and spent a long and useful
life in doing good, being a loyal neighbor and staunch friend. She was one
of the band of noble women who so materially assisted their husbands in
settling up a new country and were a lasting influence for good in a growing
community. Mrs. Eyres enjoyed the esteem of all those who knew her and her
friendships were firm and life long.
The funeral was held Thursday, August 13, at 2 p.m. at the First
Presbyterian church, Rev. J. A. Hills, the pastor, and Rev. W. E. Smith, of
the Union township church, having charge of the services. The interment was
made in the Union township cemetery, where her husband and other members of
the family are buried.

BOY HURT IN CAR CRASH AT MARCUS
High Corn Obstructs View and Drives Goes Into Ditch to Avoid Collision
Sioux City Journal: Jack Meyers, 15-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. H. A.
Meyers, 2727 Pierce street, suffered a fractured leg and four other
occupants of the Meyers automobile narrowly escaped serious injury when the
car in which they were riding overturned in a ditch near Marcus, Ia., late
Sunday afternoon.
Young Meyers was driving the care at the time of the accident. He was taken
to St. Joseph's hospital where an X-ray photo showed that he had suffered a
spiral fracture of the leg above the knee. His condition, although serious,
was not critical, hospital attendants reported.
The accident occurred when young Meyers drove his automobile into a ditch in
order to avoid hitting another automobile driven by Dr. Joint, of Marcus, at
an intersection in the road. Due to the fields of high corn it was
difficult for the drivers of either car to see each other.
The Meyers car landed upside down, pinning the occupants underneath. Jack
was the most seriously injured, although Mr. Meyers who was riding with him
in the front seat suffered a wrenched back and was severely bruised. Mrs.
Meyers and her sister, Miss Ella Bertstrand, of Chicago, were slightly
injured, but Ruth Meyers, a daughter, escaped unhurt.
Dr. Joint was the first to the assistance of the injured, giving first aid
to Jack Meyers before he was removed to the hospital. The Meyers car was
badly damaged.
