DEATH OF
ALLEN DALE
Correct Facts Concerting His
Death
Some two weeks ago the North*
western published the sorrowful news
of the death of the younger brother
of Prof. R. E. Dale, at Ashland, while
trying to board a west bound Bur
lington train. Our account was taken
from the State Journal of the follow
ing morning and was full of inaccur
acies, as early accounts an apt to be.
The story of the accident and death
of the young man, as given us later
is as follows: Young Dale was a stu
dent at the Cnrversity School of
Nebraska, and liad taken the east
bound train to meet his fiancee, who
was returning from a trip to Europe,
"litre sue n&u oeen sever*i montns
for her health. It was her intention
to take the west bound train from
Omaha, which passed the east bound
at Ashland, and iii the natural
anxiety of the joung man to see her
at the first possible moment, he had
gooe to a siiland to meet her. The
east bound train was a few moments
late arriving at Ashland, hence as It
came in the west yards the other
train pulled out. passing each other
just inside tire yards. Young Dale,
who was onh in years of age, robust,
strong and athletic, standing some
aii feet and over in height, saw the
train passing and sprang from his
train to catch tlie other. Just how
he met his death, will probably never
exactly be known but as there was
quite a line of freight cars standing
on a aide track between the two pas
sengers. it is thought in hurridly
running around them to catch the
west bound, he must have only been
able to reach the moving train as the
very last cars were passing, and as it
was a vestibuled train, in jumping
for the steps he must have missed his
grip and been struck on the back of
his head by the car and thrown for
ward on his face, his death being in
stantaneous. It was not true, the
report that his head and face were
crushed and neck broken, as the
death blow he received was that on
the back of the head, which crushed
the skull there, and there were no
other masks nor bruises save tha
scratches on the face caused by the
sanded ground on which he was
thrown from the impact of the death
blow. The young man's tiancee was
not on the train, but her ticket car
ried her home over the Rock Island,
nor heard of the terrible affair till
she reached her home at Denton,
where she. as well as her betrothed
resided.
Death of W. H. Hlcknan An
Old Resident of This
Vicinity
As will be seen bj the following ar
ticle, Mr. W. II. Hickman, formerly
of this city, and father of Mrs. D. D.
Grow, passed away Sunday. March 3.
at his home near Orlando. Okl. Mrs.
Grow had been at the bedside of her
fattier for some time prior to his de
mise:
Wm. Henry Harrison Hickman was
born in Zanesville, Ohio October, 1st,
1834 died March 4th, 1912 being 77
years, 5 months and 4 days of age.
Mr. Hickman moved with his parents
from Ohio to Iowa in his young man
hood and there engaged in school
teaching. In the year 1855 he was
married to Miss Abigail D. Ross and
with his bride began domestic life as
a farmer in Jones county, Iowa. In
1883 he and his family came to Dav
iess county Missouri locating near
Winston. There were born to Mr.
and Mrs. Hickman nine children three
of whom preceeded their parents to
tiie Beyond leaving six children to
mourn the loss of their devoted par
ents' In 1897 Mr. Hickman and wife
moved to Loup Citv, Nebraska, where
the beloved wife was called from his
companionship on Dec. 23, 1905. Since
19ii6 Mr. Hickman has made his home
in Oklahoma. After the death of
nis wife lie declined rapid!.,' until re
lease came on the 4th instant.
For two terms Mr. Hickman repre
sented Daviess county in the Missouri
legislature which position he filled
with honor ana integrity.
In his youth lie made profession of
faith in our Savior and was babtixed
and united with a Missionary Baptist
cburcti. Although for awhile later
in life lie got in doubt, yet in later
yean he allowed his appreciation of
the Saviour by admonishing his daugh
ters to take their children to church
and Sunday school and to teach them
to follow the example of Jesus, and
tie himself took a practical interest
in Christian service by teaching in
toe Sunday school while he resided in
Nebraska. The children mourn the
loss of an honorable and loving father
and we his friends, bid adieu to a
good neighbor and a true friend.
Mr. Hickman’s remains were
brought here for interment today.
Funeral services were held from the
Baptist church this afternoon at 1:3C
o'clock conducted by Rev. Grant

time friend after which interment
was made in the family lot In the
metery, west of town.—The
Sentinel Missouri.
DEATH OF
FRANK OTLEWSKI
Old Resident Passes Into The
Great Beyoad.
Last week, we had just time for
mention of the death of Mr. Frank
Otlewski, an old resident of this
county, a few hours before going to
press. As given publication at that
time. Mr. Otlewski’s death occured
at the home in the north part of this
city Wednesday evening about 9
o’clock, after several years of failing
health and bodily pain and misery.
The funeral occurred from St. Fran
cis church, Friday morning, following
at 10 o'clock with the solemn rites of
the Catholic faith, a large audience
of friends of deceased, both of the
Catholic and Protestant faith being
present to do honor to his memory.
Mr. Frank Otlewski was born in
Germany on April 2, 1850. He came
to America and settled at Sayer,
Penna., in 1872. when 22 years of age.
In 1879, he was united in marriage
to Miss Frances Kuysewski, moving
to Elmyra, N. Y„ and about oue
year later coming to Sherman county
Nebraska, and taking up a home
stead about two miles up the valley
from Loup City, where the family
lived till some four years since, when
Mr. Otlewski sold the homestead and
builded a home in Loup City, where
be had since resided. On July 4,1898
death took from the home the wife
and mother, leaving four children
beside the husband, namely, JohnE.,
bora at Elmira, N. Y., Mrs. Mary
Forsell now of Central City, Mrs.
Sophie Sydzik of Loup City, and Mrs.
Katie Shachta now of Elba, all bora
on the homestead, here to mourn a
mother’s loss. On the 6th day of
February, 1906, Mr. Otlewski was
united in marriage to Mrs. Susie
Jolkowski, to whom two children
were bora, a boy and a girl, Frank
and Gertrude, and who also survive
him. Besides the above, deceased
leaves a brother-in-law, John Kuy
sewsld, and a cousin, A. Bacang. both
living in Chicago.
Five years ago, Mr. Otlewski was
knocked down and trampled upon by
a vicious horse, the injuries then re
ceived probably being the cause
leading to bis failing health and sub
sequent death in the prime of life.
Mr. Otlewski was at one time an
earnest participant in the political
activities of Sherman county, being a
live republican wire and at one time
republican candidate for county treas
urer. in the hopeless days of populist
supremacy, His death is regretted
by a host of friends, Catholic and
Protestant, Polish and English alike,
and the family have the sincere sym
pathy of all in their sad hour of af
fliction. He was one of the oldest
members of the M. W. A. order here
joining in the year 1892.
CARO OF THANKS
W desire to return our sincere
thanks to the many friends, and
especially to the M. W. A. order, for
their kindness and care extended to
our loved husband and father, during
his illness and suteequentdeAth, and
for the beautiful floral offerings from
order and friends which covered the
casket of our loved one.

If A Man Is Wise He WHI Not
Work At Home But
Elsewhere
In an article on “The man of the
House” in the March Woman’s Home
Companion the author, Margaret E.
Stangster, says:
“The man of the house should not
be in the house all day long, if it can
be helped. If he be an artist with a
studio at home, a minister with a
study at the top of the house, a ohy
sician with office hours, or any other
man who is accustomed to carry on
his work at home, the household ac
comodates itself to him and in a
sense ignores his presence. It is tru*
that he is constantly subject to inter
ruptions when he works at home, his
wife softly opening the door to say,
‘The milkman has called for his bill,
and cannot make change,’ or somebody
has asked for you at the door, will
you not go down and see him? or Do
pardon me for breaking in upon your
work, but Aunt Jennie has just tele
phoned that she is coming to lun
cheon. Won't you step over to the
butcher's and get a porterhouse steak?
“It is not quite ideal for the man
of the house to do his work at home.
For his personal convenience and
comfort it is preferable that he should
do it elsewhere. The temptation to
run in upon him, read a letter, tell a
bit of news, or ask advice is too great
for the average woman to overcome.
"Also he gains something in the esti
mation of the family by going away
in the morning and returning at night
while for himself there is the mani
fest advantage of a charming and rest
ful change of scene when he steps
within his front door to be stormed
upon with kisses by the children and
weloomed by his true comrade and
partner on the road.”

“He was a desperate cuss and rob
bed right and left. He went into
homes when the men were absent,
frightened the women nearly to death
and took what ha wanted. Every
body was up in arms against him,
but he was too slippery for them and
managed to keep out of the way for
quite awhile.
"Finally, on the Fourth of July, he
held up. two men and managed to
make good. Then the storm broke
and the afTair quickly reached a crisis
I was away from home at the time,
but my deputy was on the Job and
started in pursuit. A posse of twelve
men started from the neighborhood
of Arnold and made a hot chase after
him.
“The greaser war anally located
about six miles north of Broken Bow
near Mohat’s place and here he took
his stand. He had his wagon and
team and an 18 year old boy with him,
and the sucker could shoot, let me
tell you. He was well heeled as re
gards shooting irons and when he
found the posse meant business didn’t
hesitate to show his teeth. ‘
"But his name was mud, just the
same, because the boys were taking
no more chances than they had, to
and as soon as the opportunity ar
rived they commenced pumping lead
into him. The show didn’t last long
after that. Mr. Greaser got all that
was coming to him and in short order
and wasdead before he hit the ground
The boy was shot in the hip, but
managed to make his escape over to
Lexington where some doctor cured
him and sent him on his way.
"When I arrived borne my wife
handed me some notes that had been
sent in by the deputy, telling me of
the situation and I immediately start
ed out in a wagon for the scene of ac
tion. On the way through town I
ran across the editor of the Broken
Bow Statysman and forced him to get
in the wagon with me. And let me
explain right here that there was no
love lost between the editor and my
self.
“He had printed some mighty lurid
stuff about me and I didn’t appre
ciate it half as much as he did. Well
the editor thought I was deliberately
running him into an ambush to be
shotand the way he whined and begged
was very soothing to my nerves. He
finally got so noisy that I became dis
gusted and when we reached where
Stuckey now lives, I let him crawl
off and hide himself.
“I went on and before long arrived
at the scene of the shooting. The
final shot had just been fired and all
1 found was a dead Mexican very
much out of repair. I loaded the
body into the wagon and started back
toward toward town.
“When I got to the hill up there, I
found the editor man waiting for me
He eagerly demanded particulars and
wanted to know what they had done
with the Mexican. I pointed to the
body lying in the bottom of the wagon
and suggested that the newspaper
man might get some information
from that source. He gave one look
and yelled, 'My God, how shall I ever
write this up?’’
“ 'I’ll tell you how to write it up,’
I replied. Tou go to the coroner’s
inquest keep your eyes and ears open
and report the jury’s verdict just as
it is brought in, and without adding
any trimmings. That will be about
all you can handle in that line.’
"If my memory don’t deceive me,
he took my advice seriously and gave
a fairly accurate account of the affair
About the verdict? Oh, the jury sim
ply held that deceased come to his
death while isaMIngaa oAoer or
something to that effect. That is
about all there was to it.
“And now, if you will kindly insert
the key in that lock and turn it in
the opposite direction. I'll stroll out
upon the street and inhalesome fresh
air.”—Ord Quiz.
