GBDSHED TO DEATH
UNDER i COMB
A Bad affair occured over near
Little postofflce on Tuesday. Mrs.
LaRue, wife of Eli LaRue. formerly
postmaster at Little, waa killed by the
falling of a corncnb during a heavy
wind storm. Mrs. LaRue was gather
ing corncobs into a boiler near the
crib when a heavy wind came up and
overturned the corncrib. As the struc
ture fell the unfortunate woman was
caught under it. She fell with the front
of the body across the boiler and was
mangled between it and the heavy
weight upon her. The men were all in
the hay field and no one was around
save a woman at the house, who hur
riedly went for assistance and when the
wreck of the crib was raised the
mangled body of the woman who a
few minutes before was in full vigor
and health lay across the boiler dead.
A peculiar thing was that no one
noticed that the wind blew especial ly
hard. A more or less high wind pre
vailed all day but it was not noticed
elsewhere to be strong enough to do any
damage. The crib was not very sub.
stantial and hence was easily upset.
This family have been very unfort
unate. At the time of the cyclone in
the South Fork country some years ago
they lost nearly all their possessions,
and now one of the family meets death
by a similiar disaster.
Mrs. LaRue was thirty-eight years of
age.
Chicory Company Foreclosed.
Omaha World-Herald: Suit has been
brought in federal court against the
American Chicory company, Richard A.
Bevan, Christopher Oldfield and the
Barclay & Co., Limited, all of England,
to foreclose a mortgage for 840,000. It
is alleged that the defendant company
issued its blanket mortgage to secure a
loan of $50,000; that the two plaintiffs
first named took each $10,000 of the
bond issue, and the third took 820,000,
while the remaining $10,000 was taken
by the Milton Trust company, Hamil
ton H. Gray, E. C. Bevan, Peroival
Bosenquet, the Second National bank of
Darlington, Wis.
Inasmuch as the latter holders of the
bonds are made parties^ defendant, it
appears that the foreign holders figure
that they are being squeezed in the
transaction. They allege that the total
present value of the property is not
more than $14,000 and they want such
relief as the court can give, including
the disposition of real estate at O’Neill
and Fremont belonging to the company
and covered by the mortgage.

Gel
Hilly Hagerty met with quite a% ac
cident at the convent Tuesday. He fell
from the entrance way to the basement
floor, striking with head and shoulders
on a pile of brick. A deep gash was
cut in his shoulder and the scalp was
cut through to the skull, but no bones
were broken. Dr. Flynn patched up
the wounds and Billy will soon be on
deck again._
“You love my daughter?” ejaculated
the old man. “Love her?” he exclaimed,
passionately; “why sir, I would die for
her! For one soft glance from those
sweet eyes, I would hurl myself from
yonder cliff, and perish on the rocks
two hundred feet below t” The old man
shook his head. “I’m somewhat of a
liar myself,” he remarked, “and one is
enough for a small family like mine!”
The hunting season opened Monday
and one might say that local hunters
have largely lost their enthusiasm
already. But by the way the pot-hunt-!
ers swarm in from down the road there
won’t be a chicken in sight in less than
a month unless the people gel out and
lynch some of these chaps for trespass.
Omaha and Sioux City hunters are an
imposition the chicken districts have
long put up with and a good way to
shut them off is for land owners to
vigorously insist on the enforcement of
the trespass law.
Ewing Advocate: 8. B. Howard,
candidate for state treasurer; Frank
Campbell, candidate for stale senator;
Arthur F. Mullen, candidate for county
attorney came down from O’Neill this
morning nnd drove out to the picnic at
Randall's grove.E. H. Benedict was
down from O’Neill Tuesday, with a
stenographer taking depositions con
cerning a quarter of land in Deloit
township which is alleged to have been
sold under fraudulent representations.
The interested parties live in Iowa.
N. J. Fin wall is circulating a paper this
week and securing signers for the or
ganization of a cavalry company in
O’Neill. He has already secured about
thirty signers, and the boys feel confi
dent that such a troop will be mustered
into the service of the state.
Edith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. E.
Hall, departed this lifeTuesday afternoon
after an illness of three weeks. Her
death, while not unexpected, is a severe
blow to the family and friends. Edith
h*d not been in perfect health for some
time. Last winter she had a severe
attack of typhoid fever, which injured
her health and she had not been strong
since. She was taken down about three
weeks ago with excruciating pains in
the head and suffered much until death
came. For nearly two weeks she was
much of the time unconscious, which in
a measure was a relief from«suffering.
Fourteen years old within another
month, the death of Edith is like pluck
ing the bud of a rose just ready to un
fold the beauty and sweetness, of a
lovely flower; life ended just as life was
dearest—when the maiden was on the
verge of womanhood and life’s pros
pects and possibilities yet to be realized.
But death need not be looked upon as a
monster, but rather an angle of mercy
bringing deliverance to diseased and
suffering humanity—a sleep from which
to awake to a bright, eternal life. The
funeral was held at 11 o’clock today at
the Presbyterian church, couducted by
Rev. Beckes, the many fiiends of Edith
showing marked respect by their at
tendance. _
