DIED Doty, Chauncey, at his home

Born and Reared to Womanhood in ThU City Where She Was
Highly Loved and Respected.
DIED Damron, Mrs. Sallie, at Long
Beach, Cal., on Friday, July 8,
1910, at 10:30 of tuberculosis,
aged 27 years.
The above brief notice will prove
a great shock to the many friends
of Mrs. F. B. Damron, born Miss
Sallie Agnew in this city, some twenty-seven
years ago. While It was
known that her condition was ex
tremely critical hopes were enter
tained that she might experience a
change for the better and that she
might eventually regain her lost
health but these hopes proved vain
aid a message received last evening
by Mrs. C. H. Parmele announced
her passing away at Long Beach,
where she with her husband and
mother, had been making their home
for some time in the search of health.
Deceased was born in this city in
the month of April 18S3 and here she
lived during the happy period of
'childhood and early womanhood. Al
ways a frail and delicate little wo
man she grew up into a most lovely
speelman of the handsome and at
tractive lady. She was endowed by
nature with all the traits which go
to make the perfect lady and these
, traits were such as endeared her to
all with whom she became acquaint
ed. In her life in this city, there
was no more popular young lady than
Sallie Agnew nor any who could
number her friends by so large num
ber. Each of them will hear of her
passing away as the loss of a close
personal friend, and one whose every
act made her the more dear to them.
Deceased was married June 3, 1908
to Dr. F. B. Damron of Lincoln and
had lived In that city up to a number
of months ago when failing health
took her to Long eBach, Cal. Of the
union with Dr. Damron one child was
born about one year ago and this lit
tle one survives together with the
husband and ber mother, Mrs. Nellie
P. Agnew.
At the time of her death her aunt,
Mrs. S. H. Atwood of Lincoln was al
so present The deceased was a
grand-daughter of Mrs. C. II. Par
mele of this city and to her came
the sad news of her death in the
shape of a message which reached
here late yesterday afternoon. The
announcement came as a great shock
to Mrs. Parmele and the other rela
tives who had hoped agalnstst hope
for a change in her condition.
The message announcing the death
stated that a further message would
follow and this will probably con-
I tain an announcement of the funeral
arrangements which are unknown in
this city at this writing.
The many relatives of the noble
young woman In this city as well as
the stricken husband, child and moth
er, have the sincere sympathy of all
In their bereavement.

E
Telephone Man Tries to Sever
Artries With Penknife
From Saturday' Daily.
A telephone lineman named George
Wilson employed by one of the tele
phone companies of the city, last
night came near shuffling off this
mortal coil and also created some
sensation by slashing himself across
the left wrist with a knife in a vain
attempt to commit suicide. Wilson
had been drinking quite a bit and
Beveral days since had received what
he calls a sunstroke. This is believed
to have been responsible for his at
tempt to end his life last night. He
was on upper Main street near the
Hotel Riley when he made the effort
at about 6:30 p. m. He drew a knife
and tried to sever the arteries in the
wrist but his action attracted the at
tention of bystanders and they seized
him and carrlel him into the Hotel
Riley, a surgeon being called who
dressed his wounds. Later he was
taken in custody by Chief of Police
Rainey and put In pail for safe keep
ing, after having been disarmed and
all things with which he might in
jure himself removed from his per
son. Wilson seems to have been all
right until recently when he com
menced drinking and had kept up the
campaign steadily until his nerves
became shattered and he was on the
verge of frenzy. The injury which
he inflicted on himself was not of a
dangerous character although rather
severe and consisted of a cut sev
eral inches long extending clear ac
ross the wrist. This morning he was
getting along all right and apparent
ly regrets his action.
Supposed Burglar Captured.
From Saturday's Dally.
Chief Rainey last evening took In
to custody a man who is susphioned
to have been connected with either
the burglarizing of a store or a
freight car. The fellow was about
town trying to dispose of two pairs
of red buttons men's shoes. He was
offering them for sale at'such a price
that the chief became suspicious and
man had a pair of shoesetaoishrdl
investigated him. He found tha
man had a pair of shoes which bore
the trade mark of "Kip Shoe Stote"
of Deadwood, S. D.," and that another
pair of shoes had been sold to a
man connected with the show com
pany. He decided to take the fellow
in for investigation and landed htm
In jail. The fellow claimed that he
bought the shoes In Lincoln but his
story listened to the chief like a tale
of the fairies. A search of the man
I at the Jail revealed a small memor-
andum book which seems more sus
picious that ever. It contains the
names of many firms scattered
through the cities along the Missis
sippi valley about Danvenport, Peor
ia and other points, together with
lists of tools and the like. hese the
chief win alco investigate, 'mere was
also a certificate In the book giving
the man's name as Ed. Williams,
but no address A wire was sent the
Deadwood house but no answer had
been received at noon.
Chief Rainey this afternoon receiv
ed a message from the Kip Shoe com
pany In Deadwood to hold the man
whom he took in until he received
their letter. From this It would ap
pear that the chief has landed a good
one and If this is the case, he is to
be' congratulated upon his cleverness
in catching the fellow. The letter
will reach' here probably tomorrow
or Monday morning and It will help
In clearing up the mystery surround
ing the man and the property found
on him.
in Mill:? county, Iowa, of sensility,
on Friday, July 8, 1910, at 5:30
p. m., aged 86 years, 2 months and
1 day. Funeral on Sunday, July
10, 1910, at 2 p. m., from the
home. Services by Canon H. B.
Burgess of Plattsmouth, Neb. In
terment at Glenwood.
A long life came to a close yester
day evening when death removed
Chauncey Doty, for many years a
resident of Mills county, Iowa., just
opposite this city. The aged man had
been 111 for some time and gradual
ly sank into his final rest simply
worn away with the passing years.
The deceased was quite well known
In this city, having made it his head
suarters for many years and during
his more active days his face was a
familiar one upon the streets and ev
ery man, woman and child almost
knew him as one of the landmarks
of the vicinity. He was a man who
stood well with all who knew him
Of peculiar traits his excentrlclties
were of the harmless kind and serv
ed to lend an unique air to his character.
He was born in New York on May
7, 1834, and came west during his
early manhood, finally locating In
what was konwn as East Plattsmouth
a great many years back. He was
troubled with deafness for a good
many years during his residence In
that locality and on one occasion his
defect caused him to be struck by a
Burlington train and hurled from
the track, up near the big cut. This
accident very severely injured him
but he was possessed of a wonderful
vitality and survived the terrible In
juries which were Inflicted.
The funeral of this well known citl
zen will be held tomorrow (Sunday)
afternoon at 2 o'clock, the services
being conducted from his late resi
dence on the east side of the river
and Interment being made at the
Glenwood cemetery. Canon H. B.
Burgess of St. Luke's Episcopal
church will conduct the services, to
which the many friends of the aged
man are invited.
The deceased is survived by a wid
ow and one son and three daughters
The son is Amos Doty who lived with
his parents at East Plattsmouth and
the daughters are Mrs. Olney Graham
of Rulo, Neb., Mrs. Hattie Varner of
Sasspena, Kas., and Mrs. Mate Gra
ham of Big Timber, Mont. Owing
to the long distance the daughters
are away, it Is not probable they can
get home In time for the funeral. Mr.
Doty came to Iowa in the year 1864
and has since resided there continuously.

Heath of Mrs. Philip BatcMor.
The Journal Is in receipt of a let
ter from Mrs. Lora Wood, Bickleton,
Wash., conveying the Ead informa
tion of the death at that point of
Mrs. Jane Batchelor, the wife of Phil
ip Batchelor, formerly of this city.
Mrs. Batchelor departed this life on
June 21, 1910. The cause of her de
mise was stomach trouble of long
standing. She was borti in Ohio on
August 15, 1843. She had been
married two times, the first hus
band's name being Henry Parker. To
this union five children were born
their names being Otto Luhinan of
San Francisco; George Parker of
South Dakota, Bert Parker of La
Grande, Ore., Free Parker of Dickie
ton, and Alzora, a daughter, since de
eased. She was again united in mar
riage after the death of her first
husband to Philip Batchelor and of
this union five children were born,
viz: Walter, Jessie and Adle dying In
Infancy and Nettle Smith, living near
La Grande, Ore., and Mrs. Lora Wood
of Bickleton, Wash.
Deceased was a resident of Cass
county for fifty years, and on April
7th, last, her sister, Miss Lizzie Bates
died at the farm of Philip Batchelor.
On April 29, last, she with her hus
band moved to Bickleton. Her death
came after an illness of two days.
The funeral took place on Sunday,
June 27, at La Granda, Ore, it be
ing attended by all the children ex
cept one son George Parker of South
Dakota, who was unable to make the
Journey in time.
Deceased was quite well known in
this vicinity where she had lived so
long and she was a most highly re
spected and lovable woman. To her
family she had been a loving and
true mother. The many old friends
and neighbors who had known the
deceased knew her to love and re
spect her and their sincere sympathy
goes out to the stricken husband and
children. The death ot her sister
preyed upon the later days of her
life and in her letters to her children
she often spoke of this event with
great sorrow.
Adam Kaffenberger, the well
known farmer from west of the city,
ii spending today in the city on bust
ness, having driven in this morning
from his farm for that purpose.
Large Crowd on the Streets Last
Evening to Enjoy Sights
Another show has been added to
those-at the carnival In the shape ot
the Alaskan Dog Team and wolves
and a freak mountain goat, this show
arriving in the city last evening and
opened up at once. The parties put
ting this show on come from Dawson,
Alaska, ana left that point on October
16th, last, enroute for New York
City. They have eight dogs and four
wolves and also a genuine novelty In
the shape of a three horned moun
tain goat, also from the wilds of Alas
ka. The two men who are running
the show are C. F. Moon and W. K.
Gore and when they have completed
the Journey from Dawson to New
York they expect to cross the ocean
and show throughout Europe and
complete a globe girdling tour.
The dogs which they have are gen
uine Alaskan animals and are train
ed to perfection. The wolves are a
derided novelty In this part of the
world being entirely different from
those of this section. The animals
are trained to give performances and
the entire outfit furnishes a show
which Is attractive and worth seeing.
In addition to the exhibition there Is
given a lecture on Alaska by C. F.
Moon who lived In that country from
1896 up to this last fall and who is
fully Informed upon its features and
its good and bad qualities. He Is a
good speaker and worthy of being
heard. They have circulated smull
bills over the city which set forth in
detail the facts of their trip, hence
further explanation is unnecessary.
The show seems a good one and
worthy of patronage.
The Nero show last night drew
a good crowd and the tent was kept
pretty well filled up. The big snake
performed his part of the contract
to make the show a success as he
shed his skin for the delectation of
those who never saw a freak of this
kind before. He did this without
much trouble and It was a most in
teresting process to see the reptile
twist and turn hlmHelf about In an
effort to part with the old skin. When
he had done this he shone resplend
ent In a brand new skin which glis
tens and shines like it was newly
varnished. The snake Is a magnificent
speclman of Its kind and is a sight
worth seeing. It does not seem to
mind the presence of the young wo
man in the pit with it and permits
her to handle it as if It were of
putty. Tonight it is the intention
to feed the snake if the rabbits upon
which it is fed can be procured- This
was to have been done last night but
the manager of the show was unable
to get the rabbits, those owning them
refusing tb part with them at any
price. This Is a very interesting and
unusual process and tue public will
be well repaid to see Tt.
There was a larger crowd on the
street last evening than heretofore
and It was far more orderly The
determination of Chief of Police Rain
ey to step the rough work which
had been going on with whips bore
fruit and his prohibition of the use
of those articles worked a long ways
toward making the evening pleasant.
This order is on to be enforced and
tonight the whip will have to he cut
out. Too rough work will not be
tolerated by the police and arreats
will follow if it la preslsted In. Con
fetti can be thrown tonight accord
ing to the authorities but flour and
gritty substances must not bo thrown
at all. Tho Haymakers will run a
stand for the sale of confetti and the
public Is asked to patronize It as it
Is the official stand.
The Fenis wheel last evening did
a nice business and the big machine
was kept on the move from early
evening until late In the night. The
merry-go-round also did a nice busi
ness as did the Dixie Land Minstrels.
On the whole the evening was a flue
ne.
I'.ntci tallied at Bridge.
