Cemetery Association Purchases the
Property of l.. Il. King.
The recent trouble between the Riv-
erside Cemetery Association and L. II.
King, who owned a little over third OF
an acre abutting the associations land
on the east, is settled, deed having
been recorded Saturday in which Mr..
King conveys to the association his land
for a consideration of 5000.
A certain portion of the land Is that
recently condemned by the city for
street purposes, in opening the new
Riverside street.
The land purchased will be used for
cemetery purposes and Mr.. King
agrees to remove from 1t all the build
ings owned by him. Possession is to be
given right away. The association
thinks that 5000 was pretty good price
to pay for the land. but it was consid-
cred at recent meeting that the
amount asked had better be paid and
avoid any trouble. Five hundred dol
lars of the amount has been turned
over to Mr.. King and the remaining
$500 will be paid as soon as possession
is given. This gives the cemetery as
ISOLATION possession of all the land in
closed in it's fences excepting the small
portion that was purchased by St
Mary's parish several years ago. 1t will
be all the land that will probably ever
be necessary. The purchase is not
made because 1t is needed now, but In
wears to come of course more land will
be required for burial purposes.

DIES FROM INJURY
Charles Baker, the Northwestern
Man Hurt Last Thursday, Dies
Sunday Morning.
Death is Sudden and Caused From a
Blood Clot-- Company Gives
Christian Burial.

Charles Baker, the Northwestern la
borer who was severely injured on
Thursday last, at noon, at point about
four miles west of the city, where he
was thrown from and under the wheels
|of ballast train, died Sunday morning
at about o'clock at the Getz hospital
as the result of his injuries.
Baker seemed to be doing very nicely
until Saturday evening, when he began
to show signs that were not encourage
ing. He rallied we'll from the effects of
the operation, whereby his left leg was
removed below the knee, and up till a
short time before he died was thought
to be in very fair way of recovery.
His death was, strictly speaking.
quite sudden and was from the direct
cause, as ascertained after death, of a
blood clot that had formed in one of
/ the bruised vessels and had passed into
leither the heart or the brain.
Bakers body was confused far more
deeply than was noticeable from the
surface, many smaller Commissions being
present that were shown in the dislo-
Gated hip, the bruised right arm and
the crushed leg.
Nothing whatever is known here
about the man, more than was stated
at the time of his injury to Times
lRepublican reporter. He said he had no
home, and no relatives in this country
| Whether Baker is his correct name or
not is not absolutely known. The man
claimed to be Dane, but gave no evil
dences of being of that nationality by
his speech.
A telegram from Chicago from the
Northwestern general offices gave in
structions that the man was not to be
buried in the potter's field, and Agent
1 Garvin was instructed to purchase
lot in Riverside in the name of the com
4 pany. This was done and the man was
given Christian burial this Afternoon
at 3 o'clock. A very neat casket was
provided by the company, together With
a good burial robe, and everything thai
would be furnished the deceased hac
he had friends here. The manner IN
i which the company has cared Tor tne
ldecea sed ia yery commendable.

APPOINTED ASSISTANT SURGEON

/ 81 AZ
DR.. Edward q. Beeson Receives APP.
pointment TO tho United states
Army.
Mr.. Edward g. Beeson, son Of Quar-
termaster and Mrs. B. A. Beeson of the
Soldiers Home. who has been located
in Union for the past few months, has
been appointed to the government po-
sition Of assistant surgeon In the reg
ular army.
The news was received in this city
Saturday evening by Gen. Beeson, COM
ing in telegram from the war depart
ment. The acceptance Of the young
doctor was Immediately wired back to
the department.
/ DR.. 8eesons appointment comes
somewhat as surprise to him, as he
was one Of large number of physi-
clans, many Of whom were older and
more experienced to apply for the po-
sition. His work as assistant surgeon
during the war in Cuba, in the Forty
ninth Iowa. has evidently been the prin-
cipal cause Of the appointment, he hav-
ling distinguished himself on several oc-
1 casions.
DR.. Beeson's last promotion seems to
be only succession of honors. He en-
tered the ranks Of the government vol
unteer service as private, and further
than that, was recruit, having given
his name to the roll Of the late Corp.
James T. Furness. and was sworn in at
Cedar Rapids. He was needed in an
other capacity than in the ranks. how
ever. and had not been in Cuba long
before he was placed in charge Of the
sick in quarters. His success in taat
line caused his promotion to assistant
surgeon of the regiment.
Mr.. Beeson will leave Union soon, as
soon, in fact, as is possible, and will
lleave for San Francisco to report for
duty. 1t is altogether likely that he will
be sent to the Philippines. Mrs Beeson
will accompany him to California and
possibly to the Philippines.

Kankakee swamp Land Bill.

The last of the bills passed by the
legislature was disposed of by Cover
nor Mount Friday, when he sent the
Kankakee swamp land bill to the secre-
tsry of state without his signature. 1t
thus becomes a law, for while the gov
ernor saw objections to it, he stated
there is much justice in its provisions,
and he would not take the responsible
ftp of vetoing it.
The bill applies only TO the northern
part of the state and directly to the
drainage of the lands b ordering on the
kankakee river. 1t provides that all
moneys derived from the sale of swamp
lands upon the kaDkakee and for the
Improvement of the river itself. 1t is
estimated that the lands that will be
permanently benefited by the law will
more than repay the investment in in
creaslng taxes and that the state will
be the gamer in the end.
The objection to the bill was that the
lands belonged to the state. and the pro-
posed application OF funds derived from
their sale to Improvement of other and
contiguous lands was practically giving
state aid to the owners of the Kanka-
kee marshes.
