Our people were highly entertained

recover and be her usual self again.

Word was received here the first of
this week that little Edgar, youngest
son of A. F. Beebee had died Sunday
night at their home in Adair just q
little over one week ago they moved
from here and Edgar was taken ill at
once with scarlet fever. This seems
impossible to believe as he was child
loved by everybody.
Stephen Shoesmith died at Guthrie
Center last Saturday and was buried
at North Branch, his home, Monday
of this week. About one week ago he
started for Des Moines to have his eyes
treated and went from Guthrie Center
to Menlo on the branch road and had
to wait until about nine o'clock for the
flyer going east. 1t was near six o'clock
when he left his train and having long
wait he concluded to go up town and
get supper; and in some way, it being
dark, he went in the wrong direction
to step off the platform and received
fall Of about eight feet, striking his
head and it was the last he ever knew.
He was returned to Guthrie Center
where he died on Saturday. He is the
father Of merchant Shoesmith at Ham
lin, and also the father of Mrs. Robert
Talbot and Mrs. J. f. Cloughly both
ladies we'll known in Audubon. His is
certainly q sad circumstance and all
friends have the sympathy of the COM
munity.
