MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ELMER DICKINSON’S DEATH.

Believed to Have Been Hit by Another Train in the Yards on Northwestern Railroad. While »he exact manner by whidh Elmer Dickinson met his death near Belle Plaine, lowa, will probably never be known, the. relatives have learned enough to figure out a plausible manner of the accident. For some time he bad been working on a farm near Hudson, lowa, which is only about 40 miles from Belle Plaine. He had written his sister, Mrs. Blanche King, at Niantic, 11l some time ago that be was coming to visit her and other relatives. Last Wednesday he purchased a ticket at Hudson for Chicago. When the yards, about a mile out of Belle Plaine, were reached, the train stopped and felmer got off the train. The conductor recalled after the accident that he had seen him but paid no attention. It is presumed that he thought he was at the station. Another train going in the opposite direction passed the train he had been riding on at this point and that is thought to have been the train that struck him. As stated in the previous article, the young man lay exposed to the cold weather fronyl2:3o or 1 o’clock until the next morning and was still alive when found but only lived a short time. He was able to say that his father lived at Oneida, N. Y. Mr. Dickinson was notified and he informed other .relatives by telegraph and also Undertaker Wright, of Rensselaer. Martin King, his bro-ther-in-law, of Niantic, 111., immediately went to Belle Plaine and arranged to have the body shipped here for bprial and the same took place Monday, the body being laid to rest beside his mother in the Egypt cemetery. There was found in his pockets $390, while in the palm of one hand Inside his glove two S2O bills were found. The back of his head was considerably Injured, his face slightly cut and bruised and his right arm and hand crushed below the elbow. Relatives sent to Hudson, lowa, to ascertain whether he’ had any property there and were Informed that his trupk containing valuable papers was there. The trunk has been ordered sent here. Elmer Dickinson will be remembered by many people here, where he was regarded as being an exemplary young man. Evidently he' had lived frugally in the west as be had saved considerable money. His funeral Monday was attended by his sinter, Mrs. King and husband, of Niantic, Ill.; another sister, Mrs. Mae Farmer, of Logansport; and another sister, Miss Carrie Dickinson, of Oneida, N- Y. The latter will remain here for a visit of, a month or more. Mrs. Farmer returned home ness of her husband’s brother. Mrs. B. R.|Amsler is a cousin of the deceases young and following the death of Mrs. Reuben Dickinson, in 1892, the Dickinson child ren had largely made their home with Mr. and Mrs. Amsler.

“Have a Look” at Danville, Writes Boomer of That City.

We often have the pleasure of being remembered by our friends who have gone into new fields and helped to make them bigger and who have caught the inspiration of their own push And grown with the country of their adoption. Thus, we today opened a carton which contained a book entitled “Danville, the City With a Future.” You only get one guess who sent it. All those who have the good fortune to know him* will guess right For the benefit of those who do not know him, we will say that the book came from Frank P. Meyer, a prosperous shoe merchant of that .city, who grew to young manhood in Rensselaer and received his early mercantile experience in the old Ellis & Murray store. Frank is a sample of Rensselaer youth in a new field. He has been equal to the emergency; has grown in every way but in stature, and as he was never engaged in an occupation where physical development was necessary to success, his size don’t make any difference. He can push Danville with the best -of them “and then climb right into the push cart and go some himself. That’s “Dutch.” ‘ He penned on the beautiful industrial book the words “’Have a Look.” We have had and enjoyed it. The book is printed on a fine calendared paper and consists of pictures of public buildings, churches, factories, streets and residences, with a statement of the thingA accomplished in the past and claims for the present and the bright future outlook. It is the kind of a book that would make a man glad he was Identified with the town that published it. The writer visited Danville about fifteen years ago. That was before it took a tumble to itself. It was before Frank Meyer located there. Danville was then an ordinary town of ten or eleven thousand people. Then it woke up. Interurban railroads were builded and Danville got them and merchants went after the trade at more distant points and Danville grew by leaps and bounds. The 1910 census gave it a population of 27,871. There never was a real progressive town that was satisfied with a government census and the booster book claims a population of 35,000. That is going some. Danville is worth looking ajt. Our thanks to Frank P. Meyer for sending us copy of the “City with a Future."

Mrs. William Cooper Passed Away After Long Sickness.

Death came to Mrs. William Cooper at 7 o’clock Tuesday morning. She was at the home of her sister, Mrs. James Snedeker, in the northwest part of Rensselaer where she had been brought almost four weeks ago, in order that she rnij3»t”be’'hearcr her physician. She had been failing for the past ten weeks, having a tumor of the brain from which there was no relief. The maiden name of the deceased was Ella Irene Reed. Her father, George W. Reed, died 22 years ago and her mother later married John L. Nichols. She died two years ago. Charles W. Reed, assessor of Barkley township and Harry Reed, of are brothers, and Mrs. James 'Snedeker, Mrs. J. W. Marlatt, Mrs. Ancil Potts, Mrs. Lura Pennell, of this county and Mrs. Violet Pollock, of Morocco, are sisters of the deceased. Her husband js in poor health and she leaves six children, aged 4,6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 years-. The funeral will be held Thursday morning at 11 o’clock at the Brushwood church near Aix. Burial in the Praeter cemetery. In the arrest of James Cummings, an ex-convict and a man who travels under various aliases, Gary police believe that they may have one of the men who have been impersonating telephone employes and who by this means gained entrance to Chicago houses where they robbed and slugged women. The Big Four ticket office at Clarkshill was broken into late Friday afternoon and the thief secured 325 in silver. Agent Cooley was loading baggage on a train when the robbery occurred. The robber overlooked a large amount of paper money in the drawer. This is the tenth in & series oL robberies of railroad stations in that vicinity in the last few months. R. A. Osborne, who has been working for Austin Moore, left today fbr the home of his father, Alexander. Osborne, at Shouns, in East Tennesee. His father lived in Jasper county for a short time following the war and may be remembered by a number of our older citizens. Qe irf now in very poor health and his son was called home on that account

SUNDAY BRAWL AT PARR; BLACKSMITH ASSAULTED.

Alleged Selling of Booze Will Be Investigated—lnjured Ran Wfll Be Rendered Partially Deaf. W. L. Wood was down from Parr Monday, bringing his blacksmith, George Smith, down for some patchwork repairs. According to information we have received, Smith indulged with others in a jamboree Sunday, and the festival seemed to centek about Ed Gilmore’s sols drink emporium. The particulars of the affray that led up to Smith’s injury are obscured by apparent pledges of secrecy, but at any rate Smith got his noodle rapped with a ball bat or something else and was rendered unconscious. Dr. Hemphill attended to him aftef he was brought to Rensselaer and it was found that his left ear was badly bruised and the drum of the ear injured, probably to such an extent that he will be totally deaf in that ear. It is claimed that there has been a lot of clandestine liquor selling at Parr and that an investigation will at once be set on foot. The assailant of Smith is reported to be a lad only about 16 years of age, who is thought to have been under the influence of liquor. The fullest investigation of the assault should be made, and probably will be, and the assailant of Smith should not only be given a Stiff dose of the law, but also and still’ more of it to the person or persons responsible for his condition, if it is true that he was intoxicated.

George Reed’s Condition is More Encouraging—Brother Returns.

Charles Reed returned from Chicago Monday evening, where.he had spent the day as much as was permissable with his brother George at' the Hahnemann hospital. When he left in the evening George was resting very well, although during the day he bad been quite nervous and very weak. The surgeons consider that he is largely out of danger and that he will recover from the operation, that of amputation of his right leg. Mrs. Reed is with him at the hospital, as also is a sister and her husband from Illinois.

Augustus Phillips Joins Edison Motion Picture Company.

Augustus Phillips, the actor, has just been chosen by the Edison Motion Picture Company to become a part of its great troupe of great ac-tors-and has accepted the offer of employment at a very flattering salary. Whether, he will remain in New York or become a part of the western Edison company is not known. His brother. Manager Fred Phillips, of the Princess, expects to be able to use the Edison service with films in which Gus has posed. It will doubtless prove a big hit here, where Gus is an idol with all his old friends.
