Burlington, May 17-An unknown
man, we'll dressed and 80 years of age,
shot himself dead in Grape Park late
yesterday afternoon in the presence OF a
number of persons. The man had gone
out to the park on one of the afternoon
cars and was strolling leisurely about
when those behind him saw him quickly
draw a revolver from his pocket and
place the muzzle against his right tenn
pie and fire. Without a moan he pitched
forward his full length upon the ground
dead. Park policemen hurried to the
spot and found the ipan dead, but with
the blood gushing from the temple, ears
and mouth.
The body was conveyed to the morgue,
where a search was made for papers by
which to Identify the man. Nothing Was
found but the name IF. Shepard" on a
handkerchief. The only things in his
pocket We're two envelopes containing
morphine, one marked WHITE, druggist,
Chicago" the other from a Davenport
Qowa) drug firm. The most important
feature of identification was the absence
of the first joint of the right forefnger.
The man wore neat suit of black. had
gray hair, was clean shaver, and weighs
about 200 pounds.
The man had been stopping at the Dee
House for several days. He left an over
coat and valise. While there a woman
stopped with him who passed as his
wife, but she has disappeared. 1t is said
he had quite quantity of money and a
gold watch several days ago. One faint

ing q Remonxtrnncc rctifion


Des Moines May IA w. Scott, of

petition of remonstrance to the pro-
posed pardoning of S. r. Dawson by
Governor Shaw. Mr.. Scott is the father
Of Walter Scott. the man whom Dawson

degree, and on the very first ballot eley-

guilty of murder in the first degree

my son without any provocation, yet he

foote.a secure Dawson's pardon. Wto
is back of that movement? Nobody on
earth but the Damascus Steel Company.
of which Dawson was the prime mover
ard whose Inventive secret lies lockee
up in a safety vault in Des Moines. The

get Governor Shaw to pardon the fnur-
derer of my son so that he can go on

Pioneer of Northwest Iowa Dies at His

Pioneer Of Northwest Iowa Dies at His
Home in Orange City.
Orange City, Oct. 22.-Henry Hospers,
banker, legislator, father Of the colony,
and one of the best known of the pio-
neers of northwest Iowa, died at his
home in Orange City Monday at the age
of 10 years. Henry Hospers was born
in the Netherlands in 1880, came to
America in 1910, and settled in Pella
He lived there until 1870, when he came
with the new colony to northwest Iowa
and located in this county. He was
married while a young man to Miss
Hendrina Overkamp, and was the fath-
er of eight children. While living at
Pella he was elected mayor of the town.
About this time he began to look about
for a suitable place for the planting OF
new colony of Hollanders, as the Ma
rion county settlement was overcrowd-
ed. He came to Sioux county and in
vestigated, and decided this was the
most promising place for settlement.
The county government was in the
hands of few corrupt individuals, who
had frequently created great county
debt. They also tried to sell off the
school lands at a nominal figure but this
scheme was killed off by Mr.. Hospers.
After he had become q resident of Sioux
county he was made chairman of the
board supervisors and was given full
power to effect settlement of the many
cases growing out of the frauds. He
succeeded so well that it cost the county
only about $1,000 instead of the 100000
it might have cost. Mr.. Hospers became
a banker at Orange City and continued
in that business to the time of his
death. He was elected member cf the
Twenty second and Twenty third gem
eral assemblies as republican, and lat
.er was member. of the state senate. He
was always regarded as the father of
the Orange City colony of Hollanders,
and was held in the highest respect by
all of the residents.
