The subject of this sketch, 1. L. Stat
zell, was born in Hendricks county,
Indiana, near Danville, February Is,
1861, and died at the Woman's Christian
Hospital in Council Bluffs February 8,
1898. The funeral was conducted from
his home in Extra by Rev. H. l.. Wissler
Thursday, February TO- and the body
inferred in the Extra cemetery.
Mr.. Statzell spent his boyhood in In
diana and in young manhood taught
several terms of school in his native
state. =. Coming to Audubon county in
1882 he commenced the study of law and
soon took charge Of the Audubon Coun-
ty Defender, newspaper owned by his
uncle, r. w. Griggs. During the time
he conducted the paper he continued his
law studies and retired from the editor
ial chair upon being admitted to the bar
in the spring of 1884, opening an Office
in Extra. He rose rapidly in his chosen
enjoyed good practice and had repu-
tation for legal knowledge and ability
of which he might well be proud. In
political circles his counsels we're always
sought and he stood high among the
leaders Of his party, not only in Audi
bon county, but in the district-was
often delegate to state, judicial and
congressional conventions and had served
as presiding officer in some of the dis
trict conventions.
In the fall of 1889 Mr.. Statzell was
united in marriage to Miss Dena Dodge,
of Extra, and five children were born to
them, four sons and one daughter, all of
whom, except one son who died about
three years ago. and the sorrowing wife
survive him.
The cause of death was given by the
physicians at the hospital as cerebrium
infusion, the result of fall, injuring the
back of his head, which he sustained
while alighting from a motor car in
Council Bluffs some ten days previous
to his death.
The death of Mr.. Statzell is particu-
larly sad one and the sympathy of his
many friends throughout the county
goes to the bereaved wife and children
and his aged father. He was member
of the Workman lodge and carried a
$1,000 policy in that order.

HOW JAMIE PASSED.
He Plays Tricks on His school Prin-
cipal While That Parsonage
Is Calling on His sister.

Jamie has big sster-a blooming, bound.
ing destroyer OF hearts, and the principal OF
jamie school used to call on her. He came
one evening, just before the close of the last
term, and wore rubber overshoes. He al
ways was afraid of catching cold. He left
these shoe protectors in the hall Jamie, by
no means sure OF passing from seventh into
eighth grade, was coming his geography
from necessity, not choice, and he saw those
goloshes
SO he got the tack hammer and two tacks
and nailed through the rubber soles into the
floor, When Mr.. Principal departed an hour
later Jamie was watching him. Mr.. Princi-
pal, still smiling on the big sister, inserted
his feet in his rubbers-and then he braided
himself up in the most amazing fall that
ever an educated man accomplished The
big girl picked him up and extracted him
from his stationary footwear, but she was
shaking with laughter.
Next day Jamie, sweet seraph, drifted past
the principals desk with a look of angelic
innocence on his chubby face.
He paused a moment.
"Who called you% asked the petulant
"The kids called me. They called me
'rubbers! Say, Mr.. Soandson, do pass?'
And the eyes Of the two met for one tense
moment. Then the principal surrendered.
Ies-you pass" he snapped
If he had said no he would have lodged
to the end of his days every time he heard a
boy cry "rubbers!"
And Jamie was honest about it, He told
no one-not even when his big sister padded
him-Chicago Chronicle
