INFIRMARY FOR
LOUP CITY
The Fine Odendahl Residence Property Secured
for an Infirmary
The Northwestern is pleased to be
able to chronicle the most interring
piece of news this week which has
cone to its notice this year. Dr.
James F. Blanchard, our new Osteo
path physician, last week leased the
tine residence of Mrs. Viola Oden
dahl and will open the same after
May 1st as an Infirmary for the
treatment of acute and chronic dis
eases, in fact bringing to Loup City
what it has needed for years, a verit
able god-send, a hospital for the sick.
Patient may have rooms at the In
firmary during treatment if they so
desire, and the institution will have
in this tine mansion a home during
their sickness. Our people owe a
debt of gratitude to Dr. Blanchard
for the enterprise he has shown in
securing this fine home for a hospital.
CITY ELECTION
A. B. Outhouse, Mayor; G. A.
Collipriest, Counciman First
Ward; Gus Lorentz, Coun
cilman 2nd Ward
The city election this year was car
ried out with no printed candidates
for other than clerk and treasurer.,
The death of H. W. Pedler after his !
name was on by petition, made it too
late for any candidate to go on the
ticket, while the other offices were in
blank because petitions had not been i
circulated. Thus when the ballots j
were printed nearly every candidate '
had to be written in and very little 1
electioneering was indulged in. in fact
none outside of the mayoralty and
councilman, causing a multitude of
scattering votes with possibly half
the ballots on which the minor offices !
had no candidates written in. The
vote by wards and the total vote
follows:

Judge Aaron Wall
Hurt in Runaway
Monday afternoon of this week,
while Judge Wall was driving two of
his high-strung, blooded colts to a
buggy, with a nephew who is here
visiting him, and George Brill in with
him, the animals started for a run
near Jenner’s Park, and in turning a
sharp angle to the north overturned
the vehicle, throwing the occupants
to the ground. Mr. Brill and the
nephew escaped injury, but Judge
Wall was thrown heavily against an
embankment, rendering him uncon
i scious. The liote 1 hack which was
near the scene carried tlie injured
; man to his home where for a time
it was thought that he might be very
seriously injured, but last reports are
to the effect that he is doing nicely
and unless complications other than
known set in, no fears are entertained
for his recovery. Some weeks since,
while hitched to a manure spreader
heavily loaded, the same team became
frightened and ran away, but were
finally stopped before damage was
done. Monday forenoon they again
became frightened and runaway with
no damage. After dinner, the judge,
who is a splendid horseman, concluded
to try tnem out and it was at the
point where they started for their
forenoon run that they tried the same
thing with above serious results. The
judge some time since had ribs frac
tured while attending to his horses
in the stable, they crowding him
against the manger. When he was
thrown out Monday afternoon he fell
upon his breast, evidently injuring
him most severely where he was hurt
at the stables. Our people in their
entirety will trust he may soon be up
and around again.
H. W. Pedler
Laid to Rest
Last Friday afternoon, from the
First Presbyterian church, at 2
o'clock, occurred the funeral of Mayor
II. W. Pedler, interment being made
in Evergreen cemetery. The funeral
was under the auspices of Marmion
Lodge, No. Ill, K. of P., of which de
ceased was an honored member, the
body being escorted from the resi
dence to the church by the Brother
hood, the Pythian Sisters and the
members of the city council. The
church was crowded with citizens to
pay their last sad respects, and all
standing room taken. The casket
was covered with flowers, while the
greatest profusion of floral emblems
smothered both casket and rostrum
much has ever been seen in wuscity,
bespeaking the esteem in which he
was held as citizen, friend and public
man. Rev. Tourtellot conducted the
services, a male quartet rendering
choicest of music. A brother of de
ceased, Mr. Louis Pedler of Toronto,
Canada, was present, other relatives
from a distance, including mother,
daughter, four brothers, a half-broth
er and three sisters, being unable to
be present. At the close of the
funeral a large procession, consisting
of automobiles and teams, filled witli
the citizenship of our city and country
roundabout wended its way to the
cemetery, where the body was laid to
rest with the solemn and impressive
ceremonies ©f the K. of P. order.
Herbert W. Pedler was born near
Eugenia Falls, Gray county, Ontario,
on the 22nd day of September, 1872,
and departed this life at Grand Island
on the 26th day of March, 1913, aged
40 years, 6 months and 4 days.
At about the age of 17 years, under
the custom of his native country, he
apprenticed himself to a blacksmith
for three years, at a salary of thirty,
sixty and eighty dollars a year, and
served with credit to himself and sat
isfaction to his employer, and was
pronounced a master mechanic.
Shortly afterwards he engaged in bus
iness for himself at Feversham,
Ontario.
About the last of the year 1894 or
the first of the year 1895 he was united
in marriage to E.sie J. McKee, of
which union there was born a daugh
ter, shortly after which the wife and
mother departed this life and Wes, as
he was familarily known, in an effort
to lighten the burden of sorrow, came
to visit his brother, J. S. Pedler, of
this city, and has resided in or near
here ever since.
On the 16th day of J une, 1897, he
was married to Druzilla H. Ditto, the
only daughter of Mrs. E. E. Ditto of
this city, and together they journeyed
through the labarintli of life until
the date of his death, she being with
him during all of his last illness and
exhibiting a devotion and patient en
durance most admirable and beautiful.
In 1909 lie was elected to the city
council of Loup City, serving two
terms, in 1911 he was elected mayor
and re-elected in 1912, and was the
only candidate for the position at the
time of his death. Wes was a plain
out-spoken citizen, which sometimes
worked to his disadvantage, but lie
i was generally admired for his sincer
1 ity of purpose.
Wes came of a large family consist
ing of father, mother, seven brothers,
two half brothers, and four sisters,
making a family of fifteen in all, and
was brought up in a new country
where conditions pertaining toeduca
| tion were not the most flattering,
j Just at a time when by energy and
application in practical life he had
become most serviceable to himself
] and others, and at a time which he
deemed to be the meridian of his ex
istence. he was called to meet the de
cree of the powers that be.
lie leaves surviving his widow of
this city, his mother of Flesherton,
Ontario, an only daughter of Port
Arthur, Ontario, five brothers, two
, half brothers and three sisters, the
father, a sister and brother having
preceeded him to the great beyond.
Resolutions passed by the Commer
cial Club of this city, were received
too late for publication this week but
will be given next week.
John Synek Killed
at Grand Island
Word was received here last Friday .
morning that John Synek of this city.!
who was a brakeman on the Burling
ton had met with a fatal accident in I
the yards of that road at Grand Island \
the evening before resulting in his
death a few hours latter. The facts !
as gleaned were as follows: lie was.
running between Aurora and Ra
venna. braking on a freight train.
When arriving at Grand Island, and
when the train was switching in the
yards, he was thrown from the top of
a freight car by the impact of the
sections of the train, falling on to the
rails, the body being run over by one !
or more of toe cars, cutting off both j
legs, one above the knee and the other
below the knee, and the trunk of the I
body being badly crushed, from the j
effects of which he died a few min- j
utes after midnight, the accident oc-i
curing shortly after six o’clock in the j
evening. Mr. Jake Synek, Sr., and |
Mr. Jake Synek. Jr., fatherand broth-1
er of the unfortunate man, wentdo.vn ■
to Gr^nd Island Friday morning and !
brought the body to Loup City Sat i
urday evening on the Buy'ington, and 1
the funeral occurred from St. Joseph j
church at 11:30 o'clock Sunday morn-!
ing, a large crowd of friends and peo- i
pie of thiscity being present to render;
their last respects to deceased.
A sad feature of the case was that |
about the hour the deceased died, his !
wife gave birth to a baby at their |
home in Aurora, the wife and mother
being appiised of the accident but
not made aware of the result till later.
The body was taken to the home at
Aurora, on the way to Loup City,
that the family, comprised of wife and
three older children could for the last
time view the remains
Deceased liad for many years been i
a resident of Loup City, and was mar-.
ried a few years ago here to a daughter j
ot Mr. John Czapiewski, to whom j
were born four children, besides the i
babe which came under sucli distress- j
ing circumstances, one of the four
children being dead.
The unfortunate man was a quiet,
unassuming young man. a good hus-1
band and father, and was held in high j
esteem by our people. Up to about a j
week prior to his death lie had been !
for some time braking on the passen- i
ger between Aurora and Sargent,but j
feeling that he had no chance for ad
vancement as a passenger brakeman.;
and against the wishes of his parents
and family, he left the branch and
secured a place on the main lino
freight, only to meet death so shortly
afterward.
John Synek was born in Germany
on March 26, 1884, and came to this
country when but three weeks of age,
landing at Baltimore May 11, of the
same year, with his parents, and
coming direct to Farwell, X’ebr. His
father was employed for years there
and at various points in this section ;
and up to the present as section man I
on the B. & M. and TJ. P. railroads.!
When deceased was aged 19 years the
family moved to Loup City, which
has been their home ever since. lie
was married some seven years since to
a daughter of Mr. John Czapiewski,
and to this union were born five chil
dren, one dying in infancy, leaving at
the time of his death a wife and four
living children, besides his parents,
two brothers and two sisters. De
ceased had been employed on the sec
tion here till some 18 months since,
when he went to breaking on the Bur
lington. For a few weeks prior to his
death he was a brakeman on the B. &
M. passenger on this branch, a week
before his death being transferred at
his request to the main line, giving as
a reason that he had no chance of pro
motion on the passenger and taking
work as a brakeman on freight trains
to be in line for a higher place, his
death occurring as above noted last
Friday morning, as a result of his in
juries the evening previous, at the
age of 29 years and one day.

The Northwestern, Loup CitV,Neb.
Friend Burleigh: I have been
rather slow in my thanks for the nice
mention you kindly gave me in your
columns recently but it was because
I have been very busy and not from
any lack of appreciation I can assure
you. I must compliment you upon
the many improvements in the North
western. Those two additional pages
of home print certainly do look good.
I closed a deal on the 15th which
will combine my show w ith the L. L.
Leon show. We will bill it as Boyd
Burrowes and L.L Leon's Combined
Show and are framing a surprise for
tiie old friends. Two private cars and
the biggest tent outfit I have ever
been connected with will be necessary
to carry and present what I believe to
be tiie best show possible at popular
prices. Work is going along nicely
and most of the people are engaged so
everything will be ready for the open
ing here in Fremont early in May. I
will send you an announcement in
good time. Again thanking you for
the nice mention, and with kindest
wishes to Mrs. B. and yourself and all
Loup City friends. 1 am,
Very truly jours,
Boyd Bukrow’es.
An Eye-Opener for
Our Young Men
The Northwestern is always glad
when it hears commendation ex
pressed for the rising young men and
women of our community. About
two years since, Mr. Sim Criss, who
nil our people know is a youDg man
of exceptionally energetic qualities,
coupled with the necessary brainsand
enterprise to make a success of any
thing he takes hold of, sold his dray
druggery business and went to farm
ing. lie took charge of the farm be
tween here and Litchfield owned by
A. C. Best and another Aurora man.
whose name escapes us at this time.
At the time he took charge of the
farm, its chatties and other personal
stulf invoiced about $5000. Mr. Best
was up here last week, and found
under Mr. Criss’ management, stock
sold amounted to $5000: grain. $2500:
while tiie stulf remaining still in
voiced the original $5000. If this is
not a splendid tribute to the business
tact, energy and enterprise of one of
our young farmers, then we are “From
Missouri.” Such showing should be
an incentive to many other young
men of Sherman county to get busy
and chronicle like success.
No Tornado But
Just Straight Wind
Reports were current upon our
streets last Sunday that a tornado
had passed over the country north of
Loup City, about 11 o'clock in the
forenoon, between Arcadia and Ord,
playing sad havoc over the Interven
ing country. It was claimed that
the farm of I). C. Denniston, some
ten miles north of Loup Ciiy received
the visitation, and that all the build
ings were blown away and the family
made homeless. Mr. Denniston was
in town Monday and admitted they
were visited by a terrific wind which
shook thinp* up generally, but his
buildings were left intact and no
especial damage resulted. Later re
ports are to the effect that while the
country mentioned was visited by
terrific winds, they werestraight, and
without tornado tendencies and ac
companying results.
