ALLEGE YOUTH STOLE WALLET
Owner Leaves Coat In His Automobile and Later Finds Purse Missing
Alleged to have stolen a wallet containing $26 from a car parked in the
street Friday evening, Roger Lobdell, a boy about 14 years of age, was
arraigned in police court yesterday morning before Justice W.S. Freeman,
holding court in the absence of Mayor Winslow, who was on the sick list.
After some consultation with Geo. Sturges, the county attorney, the case was
turned over for hearing to the juvenile court in district court and will
come up before the judge at the next term of court. A bond of $500 was
signed by M. C. Lobdell for the appearance of the lad.
According to details gained at the police station Roman Kemp, a young
farmer, parked his car on Central Avenue Friday evening. He left his coat
in the automobile. In one of the pockets was a wallet containing his money.
The Lobdell boy was seen by persons near the car and this fact led to his
arrest. He was arrested later and practically owned up to the theft. The
boys stated he lost most of the money playing gum slot machine and betting
in the Boston café.
John Blake, proprietor of the place, was arraigned before Justice Freeman on
a charge of unlawfully making a bet or wager. Attorney E. P. Murray
appeared for Blake and took a continuance in the case until Thursday morning
at 9 o’clock. He was allowed to go on his own recognizance.

IS A GOOD LOSER
A sports writer in the Sioux City Tribune pays Lee Heeron, of LeMars, a
deserved compliment saying, “Ability to win and the ability to lose with a
smile are two characteristics that Lee Heeron, County club ace, possesses.
Herron, is the same winning or losing. When the going gets tough he is at
his best and when defeated he is there with the glad hand to his rival.”
While Sioux City was disappointed to see him lose to McKee in his semi-final
match, the fact that he is a good loser more than makes up for it.

HERRON SHOOTS A GREAT GAME
WAS LOW MEDALIST OF THE TOURNAMENT AND PLAYS STEADIEST GOLF
ROAD WORKER KILLED
While Johan Vanden Berg and John Kracht, of Hull, were on their way home
from working on a road job the car which Vanden Berg was driving was upset
and he was caught beneath the car in such a way that his neck was broken and
his chest badly crushed. Death was instantaneous. Kracht escaped with
minor bruises. It is believed that the front wheels must have struck a rut,
causing the car to turn turtle. The accident happened six miles west of
Sioux Center at a little after six o’clock.
Friends at Hull were notified and an ambulance was sent to the scene of the
accident and the body brought to Hull.
The dead man was about fifty years of age and leaves a wife and one child of
three or four years of age. They made their home at Hull. His parents,
brothers and sisters live at Alto, Wis., and one brother in Montana, all of
whom have been notified.
Funeral services were held Saturday at the First Reformed church at Hull,
the pastor, Rev. G. H. Douwstera, to be in charge of the services.
Vanden Berg was foreman of a grading crew, this being his second year in our
county work. The crew worked out of Hull and at present were engaged in a
job of grading between Hudson and the state park.
SOME HAIL DAMAGE
Report Strip Northwest of Craig is Cut to Ribbons
Craig Independent: The long dry spell was broken last Friday afternoon when
for a good half hour rain came down in torrents. But it was accompanied by
considerable hail which did much damage in places. Driven by a heavy wind
the stones pelted and stripped vegetation in bad shape. The scope of
country covered by the storm lies mostly west and north of Craig. Probably
the most damage done was at the Frank Fritz farm northwest of Craig five or
six miles, where everything was cut to ribbons and stumps. Effects of the
hail can be seen as far north as eight miles. A trip through the country
shows that in the vicinity of Chatsworth and Hawarden it was quite severe
and north of Alcester corn is practically ruined, only stumps of what
promised to be a fair crop remaining. The rain, of course, was a big
relief, but it came down so hard that it packed the ground solid, thus
causing much of it to run off before it had a chance to soak in, and we are
still in need of rain.

OBITUARY.
Lois Mabel, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert H. Anderson, living west

and 14 days. The child had had a slight attack of stomach trouble during

day. Medical attention was given and everything possible was done to relieve

bereaved parents, the little one is survived by an older brother, Philip.
They have the sympathy of many friends.
The funeral was conducted by Rev. E. C. Davis in the Christian church last
Friday afternoon. Interment was in Riverside Cemetery.
CARD OF THANKS.
To the neighbors and friends who so kindly gave their assistance and
sympathy during the illness and after death of our beloved baby daughter,

FREAKS OF STORM
Wind Wrecks Barn but Horse Inside is Not Injured
Marcus News: A wind storm of cyclonic tendencies damaged property on
the N. W. Wilson farm and the Chris Hohback place last night, and laid
corn low in the same neighborhood. The storm visited the neighborhood
about 8:30 and lasted but a few seconds.
On the Wilson place located seven miles south of Marcus and tenanted by
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Pedersen, the east end of the large horse barn was
blown away. The barn is the newest building on the place and the
freakish wind cut the boards in two. One horse was in the barn at the
time but was not hurt. The entire structure was moved about two feet and
it is a sorry looking affair this morning.
The fine apple orchard on the place was blown down and it is apple jam
this morning. The trees were loaded with fruit.
The kitchen on the Chris Hohback place seven miles south and one half
mile east, was unroofed and gave the family a great scare. A porch was
blown away. A cattle shed on the place was also destroyed.
