A. d. Struthers has offered $1,000
for the property known as the Tracy
home, which was used by the city
as detention hospital. The city
council some time ago directed the
board of public works to advertise
for bids for the property, but the
board, under advisement of the city
solicitor, referred the matter to the
council, because, they state, that
they have nothing to do with the
sale of real estate in the city.
The communication from A. D..
Struthers, in which he makes bid
for the property, was placed on file
with the city clerk today, and the
matter awaits further consideration
of the council. Mr.. Struthers offers
$1,000 in cash and $1,000 on or before
five years, 5 per cent interest, pay
able semi-annually.-Des Moines
News.

gnged in business in this city but

A PIONEER DEAD.
One of the Founders of Extra
Died Thursday.

Apollonius Bohon Houston died
Tuesday, October twenty-one, at
two o'clock, of valvular disease of
the heart and loss of vitality in old
age. The funeral services took
place today at the house at two
o'clock, being conducted Rev. ]. E.
Nichol of the Methodist church as
sisted by Rev. w. w. Fartsough of
the Congregational church, after
which he was inferred in the Extra
cemetery.
The deceased was born in Able
Vile District in South Carolina on
February l6, 1923. When IL years of
age he moved with his parents to
Tennessee and in 1854 moved to At
lanta, Ga. In 1848 he was married
to Miss Nancy Bridges and they re-
NAMED in that country until 1856.
That year they started for the then
great North West and that fall
landed at, what is known, as the
Natty Hamlin farm, south of town.
He was among the first to conceive
the idea of town for Extra and
with d. M. Harris and Dave Edger-
ton laid out the town and built the
first house himself. He has been a
citizen of the town ever since hold
ing at various times positions of
honor and trust. The now great
west owes much to these pioneers
who left home and kindred and
friends to forge into the wilderness
and help to carve out new empires.
Their sufferings, and hardships
and sacrifices are the corner-stones
upon which the colossal framework
of our ease and comfort rests. They
blazed the paths through. which in
triumph the star of empire has TAX
en- it's westward course and opened
the way that has become the throb-
bling arteries of commercial
supremacy. Among this class the
deceased may be ranked. He has
seen Extra grow from out the
wilderness of log cabins, surround
ed by lawlessness and border
ruffianism to one of the best little
towns in the state. He has assist
ed in all the varying political
fights of the early history of the
county. Has seen the old days of
freighting deposed by the railroad
and with steady energy and re-
markable vitality for a man of 70
years has kept pace with all the
changes.
Ten children were born to this
couple two of which died years ago.
Those living are, Henry B. Hous-
ton of Des Moines, Will w. of
Jamestown, N. Y. Charles and
Robert L., both of Extra, Mrs. w.
II. Stotts of Little Rock, Ark, Mrs.
L. B. Ragan and Mrs. Geo. II. Hen
shaw both of Extra and Mrs IT a.
wife and widow, who has borne with
him, the long life of faithful service
to the state, still survives to mourn
the loss of her life long companion
and has the sympathy of all the
community.
