TAXPAYER KILLED
J. MONTGOMERY SEARS DIES IN
AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT.
CAR PLUNGES OVER BANK
Young Millionaire was Prominent in
City Politict and was a Candi
date for the Massachusetts
Senate.
Providence, R. I., Aug. 13. J. Mont
gomery Sears, the young Boston mil
lionaire who was hurt in an automobile
accident Wednesday between Ap
ponaug and Norwood, died at the
Rhode Island hospital late in the day
He did not recover consciousness from
the time of the accident until death
came. The body was taken in charge
by a local undertaking -'firm pending
advices from the young - man's rela
tives, who are abroad, but who. have
been notified of his demise.
Mr. Sears was one of the richest
men of Boston. He came into an es
tate three years ago upon the death
of his father.
Mr. Sears was 33 years of age and
was a graduate of Harvard university
He was fond of all outdoor sports and
was an enthusiastic automobilist. He
was last year the largest individual
taxpayer in Boston. Nearly all of the
property is located in the business dls
trict and in the fashionable section of
Back Bay.
Candidate for Senate.
Mr. Sears was a member of many
clubs and he had figured in city poll-
tics. He had announced his candidacy
for the Massachusetts senate the com
ing election. He was not married.
George Saunders, his chauffeur, was
seriously hurt in the automobile acci
dent on the Apponaug road, about five
miles from here. The car was being
driven at a speed of about 60 miles
an hour. At the point where the ac
cident occurred there is a sharp curve.
As the road is a lonely one, and the
men had to rely wholly on their own
lights, it is presumed they came upon
it unexpectedly, and in an attempt to
round it at high speed one of the front
wheels of the machine broke and the
car plunged over an embankment.
Another automobile, containing A.
Albert Sack, Jr., and Charles Webster
of Providence, happened to be in the
vicinity at the time, and, hearing the
crash and the groans of the men, they
rushed their cars to the scene of the
accident, where they found Sears and
Saunders unconscious on the ground,
with their automobile in flames.
Sears Terribly Hurt.
They took the injured men to the
Norwood house, and from there they
were taken In an ambulance to the
Rhode Island hospital in this city.
It was found at the hospital that
Mr. Sears was suffering from a frac
ture of the skull, a fractured trachea
and internal injuries. An operation
was Immediately performed, but the
doctors held forth only slight hopes of
his recovery. Saunders sustained two
fractures of the leg and will recover.

ahlort A. Dickson Received the Great Sum
mons this Horning.
DIED Dickson, Mahlon A., aged sixty
four years, three months and twenty-nine
days, at his home in Platts
mouth, Neb , on August 13, 1108,
at 7 a. m., of heart disease. Fu
neral Saturday afternoon, 3.30 Aug.
15, 11)08, under auspices of G. A. K.
After a long siege of illness, dating
back Borne ten years, death this morn
ing closed the eyes of Mahlon A. Dick
son, one of the most exemplary men in
this community. A man universally
beloved and without an enemy in the
world, a kind and loving husband and
brother, whose loss is felt most keenly
by not alone his immediate family, but
all who had the good fortune to know
him.
Born in the good old county of Shel
by, Ind., on April 14, 1844, the boy
Dickson grew to manhood just in time
to hear the call of his country for de
fenders, and like the faithful lover of
his country that he was, he responded,
joining the 30th Iowa Infantry and
serving through three years of the
greatest war the earth has ever wit
nessed. He was a gallant soldier under
that fearless and brave general, Wm.
T. Sherman, and was with him on his
famous march to the sea. Those fami
liar with history know well the metal
that the men of Sherman's army were
made of and Mahlon Dickson was a
worthy soldier in that great body of
brave men. His military record shines
resplendent with his brave deeds, and
his devotion to the G. A. R. is but in
keeping with that great record.
With the close of the war Mr. Dick
son returned to the pursuits of civil
life, locating at Burlington, Ia., where
he was married to his wife Emily, on
December 12, 1882. The following May
he moved to this city and entered the
employ of the Burlington road as watch
man at the big bridge, a position he has
Andy Snyder formerly of this county
but now of Ulysses, Butler county, is
in the city visiting relatives and friends.
Andy reports things in Butler county
as flourishing and in a prosperous con
dition. In common with this county
they badly need rain but can stand the
dry weather for some time longer. He
expects to be here for about a week.
The many friends of H. J. Streight
will be glad to hear that the gentleman

occupied ever since. It is a splendid
tribute to this man's steadfastness to
say that he has been an employe of the '
Burlington for the long period of thirty
eight years. For twenty-five years he
had watched from the lonely tower" at
the end of the bridge, high upon the
bluffs above the river, the coming and
passing of the winter storms of snow
and the summer showers of rain, and
his life was peaceful and calm in the
midst of the turmoil and tumult of busy
lives."
Deceased left surving him his widow,
and two sisters, viz: Mrs. Iiozell Davis,
Grand Rapids, Mich; and Mrs. Mary
M. Cress of Indianapolis, Ind., and one
brother Chilon L. Dickson of Portland,
O.,-He was a charter member of the
Knights and Ladies of Security and of
John McCohnihie post G. A. R. In
both these organizations he had mani
fested great interest and largely aided
them in all their material interests.
The illness which closed the career
of this good man followed an attack of
La Grippe some .ten years ago. The
passing of the attack left him with a
weakened heart and in the end closed
his life. In the darkest hours of his
suffering when he knew the battle was
drawing to a close he bore his pains
and ills with the fortitude of the brave
soldier he was. As the shadows deep
ened and death approached this noble
man retained his consciousness to the
end and discussed without fear the fu
ture. It is a noble and inspiring lesBon to
observe with what serenity this grand
character met the end a lesson that
teaches the value of a true good life
and one which should sink deep into
the hearts of all. In his passing this
community loses one of its best citizens
and one whom all will mourn alike.

house and to take his meals regularly
with his family. He is progressing
nicely toward recovery and will soon
be himself again.
