Death of W. 0, Wirt
Takes Pioneer Man
Of thoBluffs City
The death of W. O. Wirt, which oc
curred at his fcome. 71 Willow avenue,
caused keen regret among the many peo
ple who had known him for more than a
generation. Mr. Wirt was one of the
pioneer successful business men of Coun
cil Bluffs. He established the first candy
factory In this pert of the country, and
thirty-five yeers ago. the firm of Wirt
A Duquette was one of the best known
In western Iowa and eastern Nebraaka.
Mr. Duquette, father of E. L. Duo,uett.
head of the De Vol Hardware company.
took over the candy making business
when Mr. Wirt retired to turn his at
tention te larger fields of enterprise, and
later. John O.'Woodward took his place
In the firm. The factory thus became
the nucleus of the present Immense plant
ef the Woodward Candy company.
For many years Mr. Wirt was engaged
In the mining business In Colored and
became associated with some of the
large development enterprises there. In
JTO2 he nearly lost his life during mining
strike troubles there, for which he had
no responsibility and was not In any way
connected. A sheriff had been marked
for slaughter and a band ef assassins
hid along the road over which he was
known to be about to travel. The sheriff
did not make the expected trip, but Mr.
Wirt, In company with a number of
friends, passed the point where the mur
derers were hiding. Wirt was riding
ahead and In the darkness the gunmen
mistook him for the hated sheriff and
opened fire with Winchesters. A big
bullet tore through the bones of his left
wrist and several others cut his clothing.
The startled horse carried him beyond
range and he soon reached a friendly
ranch. While he was trying to aid- the
ranchman to rave his life by stopping
the flow of blood from the severed artery !
the assassins rode up and surrounded I
the house. They ordered the ranchman !
to bring out the wounded sheriff or they
would riddle his house with bullets. He
had great difficulty In Inducing them to
come Into the house and convince them
selves that they had shot a friend In
stead of an enemy. Finally, after halt a
dosen rifles had been thrust through the
windows, the leader entered with a big
revolver clutched in each hand. He
found Wirt, whom he knew and greatly
loved, almost dead from the arterial
hemorrhage. Instead of taking the life
of the wounded man as they expected to,
they sent horsemen after the nearest
physician and gave all assistance they
could and finally got him to a Denver
hospital.
Mr. Wirt refused to denounce them.
The injury to the wrist left him a cripple
for life. The hand and arm withered
and became useless. The Injury af
fected his health and was the ultimate
cause of his death. Inducing the paral
ysis from which ha died. Only a few
years ago Mr. Wirt met the man who
had shot him. The sight ef the with.
ered arm brought tears to his eyes and
he told Mr. Wirt that ha would not
blame him If be denounced htm for the
murderous assault.
Mr. Wirt waa a Mason of exemplary
character and also a member of the
Woodmen of the World. During all of
hla long period of residence In this city
he was a member of the first Presby
terian church. His widow, one son and
one daughter survive htm. The funeral
will ha held this morning at 11 o'clock
at the residence. The services will be
conducted by Rev. F. W. Evans. Burial
will be In Falrvlew cemetery.

MR. PAUL BEATON
Mr. Beaton Talks CONVINC
INGLY About the Stror
Position the Raymoud Store
Will Occupy Among the
City's Best Stores.
"In my experience as a practical
furniture salesman and the yeans
I devoted to Its study and In wait
ing upon the Omaha furniture
buyer, I have thought often of the
difficulties that seemed to get In
the way of most every one In fur
nlehing a house and even In the
matter of the purchsse of only a
few pieces of furniture. These dif
ficulties were apparent la making
easy selections or a higher prlee
than one wish to pay or perhapa
a doubt of the quality of an article
or that fear arising from poor
service in the delivery, of a nice
ploce of goods thst gives rise to
dissatisfaction. I have long been
convinced that better market fa
cilities were one of the important
things the retail furniture mer
chant must have and a better
preparation for greater service to
his customer cannot be denied. In
getting before the Omaha furniture
buyer again In my connection with
the Raymond Furniture Co., which
Is an entirely new stock, I can
peak with certainty that the fay.
orable conditions which surround
this store makes It possible to
overcome Just the things about
which the customer complains and
to meet every modjtrn demand
and In its dealings to make It al
ways plain the advantages offered
their patrons. This will be dona
In a number of ways that are
consistent with the best approved
methods of today. The location
of the store is only a few step
removed from Omaha's heavy
trading center, not close enough,
however, to impose a high rental
for their quarters. I believe m
good merchant likes to charge
more for what he sells than he
hoa to. The first coat of the high
class "stock to hs shown by the
Raymond Store Is correspondingly
HEDUCHT) on account of this ad
vantage. I know no better fac
tories or more dependable goods
than are represented In this stock,
and It is selected to cover tliu
wants of every one In the matter
of their Individual taate. In sum
ming up the Raymond Rtore equip
ment and all that goes to make
for a saving for Its customer di
rect end at the same time to render
the maximum of values and ser
vice, I think I can vouchsafe tt
all my old customers and frlenda
and the buying publlo of the splen
did care that will In all rases be
taken in handling your orders left
wtlh them. ,
