Lives With Broken Neck
One of our local business men, a man whose name it is unnecessary
to mention as his reputation as a strong man, a man who literally
speaking is 'Stronger Than a Mule'; was the victim of a peculiar
accident one day last week. This local Goliath has a reputation
as a strong man and 'Catch-as-catch Can wrestler' that would make
Strangler Lewis look to his laurels. A good match maker or
manager could have made this man a worlds champion and he had
just as well be wrestling in Madison Square Garden for Tex
Richard for thousands of dollars a bout, wrestling with Missouri
mule in a village blacksmith shop. The above lines would be
appropriate to nothing had not this modern Sampson fell into a
battle of words with his neighbor the poultry man. The poultry
man who ---------?----------the result of an accident -----
?-----poor condition for a bout with such an athlete, quickly
threw away his crutches and within a short time the men were
locked in a deathly embrace. The poultry man, using science while
the Smithy depended upon brute strength and his reputation. After
some moments of fierce struggling, the poultry man secured a half
Nelson hold and flipped the Smithy two points down with terrific
force. Coming down the Smith struck a terrible blow with his head
upon a heavy office chair and loudly yelled for quarter. He
retreated from the scene of battle, claiming foul and insisted
that his neck had been dislocated by the fall. This is one of the
rare occasions when a man lives with a broken neck but knowing
this mans strength we are not in the least surprised that he
still lives. We have not learned whether there will be a return
match or not.

Lineville 3, Goshen 2
Mollestons Pastimers, narrowly escaped defeat in Brights Park
Sunday afternoon when a peppy, hard hitting aggregation of ball
players, sailing under a Goshen, Mo , banner invaded our city.
Lefty McIntosh, a young southpaw from the clay colored Mo. hill,
had our boys ------ the hickory at elusive curves for a greater
part of nine innings. -----the mighty Atkisson was turned back
hitless more than once. Gerald 'Kid' Bryan, who
journeyed all the way down from Simpson College to show his best
girl that he was a ----- ------- was helpless before McIntosh,
manager, third baseman Molleston, seemed to think so much of the
home plate that he never got away at any time even to walk. He
might have stepped into one of Max's wide ones
---------------------, of the third base fame, Gene ---- who has
a habit of hitting them where they ain't; & Ednas Jimmy also
---------- South Lineville, and Poole, the ------
-------Humeston, Iowa, were among those who hit and missed. Even
'Tubby' McCoy --- of the batting pose, also waved ------turned to
the bench hitless. Roy Butchor; Terre Haute's leading citizen,
got in once by a posed ball and scored on Jimmy Moores two-base
crash and Ray McKinneys line singles. At the start of the game
Kid Bryan, first up greeted the visitors with a hard hit single
and scored on a sacrifice, a posed ball and a daring steal home.
That was all for Gerald for the day. In the eighth Butch was
passed on and scored ahead of Jimmy as above related. That ended
the run
getting for our noble athletics, but it was enough as the
Missouri lads could garner two runs only off McKinney and
Griffie, local hurlers. The club goes to Bedford, Iowa, next
Sunday, May 16 is Lineville Day when the 'All
Nations' of Des Moines come here for opening day. This team is
well known over the state and should draw a large crowd.

In our write up of the schools in this issue we made no mention
of the work of two instructors, Miss Houck who handles music,
English and athletics. The work of Miss Houck's students
especially athletics have been highly satisfactory and far above
the average, her basket ball team winning many honors winning
over 80 percent of the games played. Also the work of Mrs. Prizer
the mathematics Instructor of the school has been far above the
average. On account of being impossible for these ladies to
exhibit their work with the others we take this method of giving
them credit for their share of the schools success the past year.

School Exhibit Shows the Result of Year's Work
A wonderful Array of work Displayed in High School gymnasium by
Local Students
One of the most elaborate displays of school work was an
exhibition over the week end and extending over Monday and
Tuesday in the high school gymnasium. In a dozen specially
constructed booths were displayed many proofs of the school years
labor, both of instructors and students. From all grades from
primary kindergarten to the eighth grade, hand work and high
school Domestic Science and Manual Training results were shown.
In the first and second grade booth was displayed a nice array of
kindergarten and hand work. These grades are handled by Misses
Fisher and Sherman and from the display of their grades, it is
shown
that an unusual interest has been shown by both teachers and the
children. In the next booth the work of the third and fourth
grades were neatly displayed. In these grades the work was more
advanced handwork, also some very fine clay modeling. A feature
of this display was a complete circus, with animals, actors
and tents, all of which do justice to an expert toy maker. These
grades are ably instructed by Miss Harriet Laughlin, whose home
is here. In the 5th and 6th grade booth was displayed still more
advanced hand work and modeling. Also wood work, sewing and
enameled toys. This was a very neat display. These grades are and
have been handled for several years by Miss Ruth Flatness. Altho
Miss Flatness' home a few years ago was Northwood, Ia., we now
claim her as a Lineville citizen. In the next booth was displayed
some of the 7th grade work. A wonderful display of maps caught
the eye here. Also some extraordinarily well put up hand work,
among these pieces a number of miniature covered wagons that took
us back to pioneer days. This booth was a fine display. These
grades are handled by Miss Hutchinson, and she should be proud of
her students. The next one was the work of Carl Lane's 8th
graders. This grade was getting away from hand work and into the
more advanced work, such as penmanship and notebook work,
carrying the work of famous authors, also booklets on Civics,
English and Penmanship. Also some very fine map work. This
was an usually nice display. The next, the 9th grade, the
principal part of which was taken up by the Domestic Science
display. Here was the most elaborate yet, a large booth being
filled with the hand sewing exhibit of Miss Hudge's 'girls'
efforts. Everything from dainty party dresses, house dresses,
scarves and a dozen other proofs of the young ladies training.
These were proofs of a hard year of study and instructions by
both student and teacher. Miss Hulgel certainly should be
commended for her work of the past year. The next was the work of
Mrs. Duden's charges from the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. This
was as fine a display of notebook work as one would ever see
displayed. Complete notebooks on American, Ancient and European
history. The books were very neat and complete in every detail.
Mrs. Duden is a Lineville woman and her greatest ambition is to
improve upon and make our school better. She has been rightly
called the balance wheel of the Lineville schools as she knows
her charges from the Primary on up through the years and has
patiently fought the battles of her students. In the next booth
was the showing of Mr. Block's students of the 12th grade. A very
fine display of bookkeeping was shown. These were all correct in
every detail and an unusually fine display. This brought us up to
the last but largest display, the work of Ross Cramlett's Manual
Training classes. Mr. Cramlett handles two divisions, some twenty
students in all. About this time last year we wrote of Mr.
Cramlett's work, but it is hard to convey by pen the improved
volume and quality of the work turned out this year by his
classes. Among the best pieces of work and the boys who turned it
out were: John Laughlin, Guy Barnett, Robt. Sanders and Rolla
Belvel, each fine cedar chests. They were indeed a well
finished lot of chests. Bradford Young, a fine walnut library
table. Lawes Poland, porch swing, well finished; Carl Harris, a
neat library table set; Everett Shinn, medicine cabinet; Ben
Raines, tool chest; Joe Duncan, oak table lamp; Calvin Carvens,
foot stool; Maurice Rockhold, a fine library table; Verne
Hessaltine, hall tree; Wilbur Whan,------; -- Hubler ---; Billy
Meker, sewing table; Paul Cole a fine reed fern stand; Ray
Rockey, telephone desk and floor lamp; Teddy Belvel, hall tree
and ironing board and George Nickels, a table lamp and ironing
board. And last but far from the least, was the work of Mr.
Cramlett. Mr. Cramlett's work consisted of a complete radio set,
including cabinet, bench, stool, candlesticks, bud vase and
smoking set. These were all constructed of walnut and the finest
set of their kind we have ever seen. Many other extras had been
built by the class, such as reed and oak fern stands, ironing
boards, hall trees, etc. We do not write this article with the
idea of handing Supt. Rutherford and Corp of instructors and the
students bouquets, but write with an earnest endeavor to give
them as much as we can convey by printers ink, the credit that
justly is
due them all for making the past year of school work the best in
the history of the school. This could only be brought about by
the closest co-operation between the board of Education, the
superintendent and instructors and the students themselves. The
board of Education is composed of John E. Rockey, Fred
H. Dailey, I. M. Belvel, J. T. May and Dr. I. M. Lovett, all
Lineville business men who keep the best interests of town and
community at heart at all times.
Class Play to Record Crowd
One of the largest crowds that ever attended a class play here
was on hand at the School House Tuesday night to see the Senior
Class play. A good crowd also attended the second showing last
night. The play, a 3 act Comedy Drama, 'The Camouflage of
Shirley' was acted out and well received by the large crown. All
the characters were well portrayed by the student actors and
actresses. The specialties between acts were also well received
especially the musical act of Williams and Duncan two of our
talented High School musicians.
The students were trained by Miss Hudgel and from the manner in
which the play was presented we are proud of her work. Very
seldom does a school of this size have so able an instructor of
dramatics.
Hiaram Abiff Lodge No. 183 A. F. & A. M. Lineville,
Iowa
In Memory of Elijah Grant Wright Brethern, again the silent
reaper has visited our ranks and taken our beloved brother,
Elijah Grant Wright. Brother Wright was a good Mason and active
in masonry in his younger days. He was a good citizen, a kind
husband and father, respected and honorable man. Therefore, Be It
Resolved, that his vacant chair be draped in the lodge that the
brethren wear the usual badge of mourning and that these
resolutions be spread on the records of the lodge, published in
the Lineville Tribune and a copy be presented to his
family. There is no death; he has only gone in search of further
light.

C. F. Lellenberg Is Out For Sheriff Nomination
Chas F. Lellenberg, well known citizen of Corydon, authorized us
this week to announce his candidacy for the democratic nomination
for sheriff of Wayne County. For some time he has been urged by
his friends to consent to make the race. He needs very little
commendation from us. For many years he has been a
resident of Wayne County, much of the time on a farm and later
years in business in Corydon. He served two terms as a member of
the city council of Corydon where he rendered conspicuous
service. He proved a very popular candidate in both of the city
elections in which his name was on the ballot. So far he is the
only candidate for the democratic nomination and the period for
filing closes this week. His friends are strong in his support
all over the county and it seems certain that he will make a
strong vigorous, clean campaign and will add strength to his
party ticket. If elected he will make an excellent sheriff for
the county.
In Memoriam
In memory of our dear son, Leonard Shockey, who passed away five
years ago.
'Just to feel that you are dwelling
In a realm removed from strife,
Is all that gives' us comfort
When we think of your short life,
Five years ago this May,
From our circle you were drawn,
The chair remains here vacant,
The bright features they are gone.
Each day recessions bring to us
A grieving thought to bear.
But we know the Great Creator
Rules with kind and gracious care.'
Sadly missed by father, mother and brothers.
Kills Big Snake
Jim Ed Booher reports killing a big bull snake Monday. The snake
was over six feet long. Jim Ed did not say how he killed the
snake so we would guess he run it to death with Jim Ed leading
the race.

Pioneer Woman Passes Away
Mrs. Julia Hinds Dies After Lingering Illness
Mrs. Julia Hinds, pioneer Lineville woman, passed away last
Friday at her home here after a lingering illness. Mrs. Hinds had
lived in this vicinity for near sixty years and was one of our
most respected pioneer women. We are indeed grieved to write of
her passing. The funeral was at the home Saturday afternoon, Rev.
Tallent officiating. Julia A. Ratekin Hinds was born in Galia
County, Ohio, Sept 12, 1840, died May 7, 1926, age 85 years. 7
months and 15 days. She was married April 10, 1860 to Sampson
Hinds. To this union four children were worn; Wm. M. Hinds of
Neel, Mo., John H. Hinds of Lineville, Sarah E. Moore of St.
Joseph, Mo., and
Geo. Hinds of Leon, Iowa. She is survived by all her children and
there are 17 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. She joined
the Baptist church in Ohio at the age of 15, but at the time of
moving to Iowa she joined the United Brethren, but shortly after
joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, of which she
remained a faithful member until her death. She was deeply
religious by nature, strict in her walk and
interpretation of what she thought a Christian should be. She was
loved and respected by all who knew her. She loved her church and
her Lord and said she was ready to go to her reward.
'The stars shall fade away, the sun himself
Grow dim with age and nature sink in years,
But thou shalt flourish in immortal youth.
Unhurt amidst the war of elements.
The wreck of matter at the crush of the worlds.'

Following is a clipping from the Centerville Daily Iowegian
telling of the marriage of Evan B. Russell, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Bert Russell, former Lineville people. Evan is a grandson of Mrs

On Sunday morning at seven o'clock occurred the wedding of Miss
Arlys Romaine Saunders and Evan B. Russell at the Presbyterian
manse. The marriage rites were performed by the Rev. Mott R.
Sawyers, who chose the beautiful and impressive ring ceremony.
They were attended by Mr. and Mrs. Roy Spencer. The bride is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Saunders of 418 E. State Street
and has spent practically all of her life in this city. She
attended Centerville schools and was graduated from the high

MOORE DRUG STORE RAIDED
Sheriff Kesterson and Deputy with a Federal officer dropped in to
town rather unexpectedly yesterday, Wed. evening and raided the
H. T. Moore Drug Store in South Lineville. Ed Peace who has been
in charge of the place for some time was placed under arrest and
together with a quanity of 'Evidence' taken by the officer to
Princeton. When the officers entered the place it is said Peace
made a run for the back door with a jug of evidence in his hand
and thew it out the back door but hard luck for Edgar, the jug
failed to break. Whether
it was the jug or contents that resisted the fall we do not know.
The sale of whiskey both off and on the streets on both sides of
the line has reached a large volume during the last few months
and we are reliable informed that this raid is only a starter to
what is to follow that while the Lineville people are long
suffering there is a limit which has been passed. A padlock was
placed on the Moore building by the officers. - Later. The store
was open again today noon with Mr. Pierce in charge.
Hikers Return
The party of ladies, who undertook a hike to Des Moines last

noon and walked into Lineville at 3 p.m. Saturday. This is very
fast time considering the age of the older members of the party.
The ones who finished the trip were Mesdames, Ethlyn Davis, Mae
Calbreath and Zella Varney and Miss Margaret Calbreath, Mrs.
Effie Lovett remained in Des Moines for a longer visit with
relatives.

wants to graduate in the piano. She is one of the prettiest girls
in the class, with charming manners. She was born at Corydon,

Creamery Does Big Business
The Lineville Creamery , which was established about a year ago
has continued to gain business until the volume of business is
much greater than ever anticipated. The creamery is under the
management of Joe Brorby one of the most expert butter makers in
the State. Mr. Brorby is assistant to Guy Painter, well known
Lineville business man and from one to two helpers are employed
at all times. Considerable of Mr. Painters time is spent on the
road, sometimes he ranges southwest, into Kansas or North into
Iowa. During the past few weeks the volume of butter churned has
shown a large increase. Four weeks ago 3600 lbs. of butter was
churned. Three weeks ago 4700 and two weeks ago 6600 lbs. while
during the past week 135 tubs containing over 9000 lbs was
churned. Mr. Brorby expects 150 tubs for the coming week. One
year ago this week 10 tubs that weighed 2520 lbs was the output.
This certainly shows a wonderful increase. Messers Brorby and
Painter are hustlers and are on the job every minute. Besides a
nice business from local dairymen cream comes from three states
among the Stations shipping are, Clio, Sewal, Allerton, Harvard,
Seymour, Corydon, Numa and Centerville, Iowa, Princeton,
Spickard, Jamesport, Gallatin, Winston,
Marysville, Amity, Lacerne, Powersville, and Ravanna, Mo. Alene,
McFarland and several other Kansas towns. A nice lot of print
butter is sold to the stores and cafes of Lineville and
surrounding towns.

My mother you've seemingly gone from me
But always my heart and my eyes shall see
Your loving face and your tender smiles
As I journey onward o'er life's rugged miles
Like a watch in the night, time passes on
A wonderful bloom again, fragrant and sweet
Return like star until we shall meet.
God is the shepherd who cares for his sheep
Blessing and keeping puts gently to sleep
All his beloved ones to waken again
Thy Will Be Done -- dear Lord.
Amen.

Lineville Defeats Trenton Team
The Lineville Ball Club, made its four straight wins when they
defeated Darby Trainors Trenton Merchants in Petit Park at
Trenton last Sunday afternoon by a top heavy score of 11-3; Chick
Cunningham, Trentons fast ball pitcher, lasted through the first
two innings and a part of the third. During his stay, Chick was
rapped for four hits, one a three-bagger off Ray Butchers bat and
a home run poled by Tubby;McCoy. Mercers best bid for base ball
honors. He also hit two batters and issued a pass, all of which
accounted for six runs. Krieder then came on and retired; the
side; Krieder was touched for a total of six hits and five runs
during the remainder of the game. Atkinsson, with four hits, one
a home run and Worth McCoy with two hits, one a home run and Linn
with his hits, led our boys for hitting --? George Greenlee, the
star outfielder, but at times erratic at bat, easily earned
strike-out honors with three whit---in five times up. It was a
notable fact that Sunday was left handed batters day with Linn,
Atkisson, McCoy and Butcher, all left hand batters going fine.
Even Kid Bryan poled a 2-bagger in the eighth Ray McKinney was on
the mound for Lineville for the first five innings and held
Trainors club to three hits, two of them singles by Pop Up Doolin
and a two-base clout by
Darby Trainor. Trainor however, expired on second when Walton
flew out for the end of the inning. Frank Griffie, Linevilles
fast ball pitcher, came on in the Trenton sixth and held the
Trainor clan scoreless until the finish. Griffie allowed two
hits, a single each by Thomason and Martin, but no Trenton runner
spiked home plate during his stay as Our Boys had made their
quota of errors before Griffie went to the mound. Some twelve or
fifteen car loads of Lineville fans were in the stands when the
game started. The Trenton club comes to Lineville Sunday for a
return game and as Derby Trainor, Trenton manager, remarked to
the writer If Lineville wins they will know they are in a game. A
large crowd is expected to attend this game as these clubs always
draw good crowds. Lucia and Gregory did the umpiring and at times
were rather wild but gave very good satisfaction.
