Police Court.

Frank Wheeler, son of F. l.. Wheel
er and wife, was arrested Monday on a
warrant charging him with assault and
battery committed upon Hiram Norton,
a lad of Douglas township. The case
was tried before Mayor Nash Tuesday
afternoon. From the facts learned the
trouble started last Thursday afternoon
on the streets. On Friday afternoon
as Norton and his sister were passing
crowd of boys on the streets Frank
Wheeler made some insulting remarks
to Norton's sister. Hiram stopped and
began talking with him when without
any excuse whatever Wheeler struck
him in the face. Officers appeared on
the scene and dispersed the crowd but
no arrests were made at that time.
Later on in the day an information was
sworn out for the arrest of Wheeler but
he could not be located until Monday
when he was found at the home of his
parents.
After hearing the evidence Mayor
Nash decided that the defendant was
guilty of the crime charged. As an
application had been made to have
Wheeler sent to the Industrial school
at Eldora, the case was turned over to
Judge Green, which came up for hear.
ing Wednesday morning,
Judge Green opened court Wednes-
day morning and the introduction of
new testimony was begun. F. l..
Wheeler, the father of the boy, was
called to the stand and testified that
Frank was past seventeen years of age,
contradicting the testimony of his son
who, the day before, had testified that
he was just past fifteen. The age
limit at the industrial school of enter
ing being sixteen years, Judge Green
had the prisoner taken before Mayor
Nash for sentence. The sentence i'm
posed was thirty days in the county
jail and in case of an appeal his bonds
were fixed at $200.i
There are quite number of young
men and boys in town who have been
in the habit of making insulting re-
marks to ladies as they pass along the
streets and the sooner it is stopped the
better it will be for the community
and the boys themselves.

We desire to announce
to the public that our
great stock of clothing

competitors that we are
only transient mer-
chants. We are here for
business and to stay.
Wehave recently bought
one of the largest stocks
of goods that was ever
shipped to Audubon and
have added to that the
large stock formerly
carried by the firm of
Faaborg & Nelson which
was bought new but Two
or three months ago
and now we are prepared
to meet the demands of
all corners.

make against our COM
petitors. We do not
need to invoke the aid
of the Town Council.
or need to take any
other methods to sell
our goods. They show
for themselves. We
have been selling at
half prices and propose
to continue the same
and Ito fight it out
along those lines If it
takes all Summe, We
are not transient mer-
chants. Remember that
we are here to stay.

I'VE deny the allegation
and defy the alligator"
Respectfully.

Some Water Fell.

What is probably the greatest
flood in the county was witnessed at
Extra and Oakfield the past few days.
The water covered all the lowlands
from few miles north of Extra
to Oakfield and still further south and
on each side of the creek to where the
land commenced to rise. Nearly
everything between Extra and West
Extra is cut of. People were forced
to leave their homes and seek places
of greater height, especially in West
Extra. Everything there was under
water. Live stock of all kinds was
drowned and washed away as was
everything that was loose around the
dwellings, stores and shops. Near
Brayton, it is reported that almost q
score of cattle were killed. The crops
that were on the lowlands are entirely
destroyed. Bridges were washed out at
various points and in order to reach
town one is forced to go miles around.
The Rock Island that is due at 8:45
was several hours late on account OF
the track being under water and it
was not deemed safe to cross. The
damage done in this county is hard to
estimate. The damage will probably
be the greatest along the Botna where
it enters the county, reaching up into
the thousands. This morning
word comes that the water has nearly
gone down and that the creek is once
more within its banks.

Obituary.

Died--At his home in Audubon, Fri
day, July 4th, VIM. Wilde, of terber-
locuscus, aged GA years, 10 months
and day old.
VIM. Wilde::was born in Montgom-
cry county, N. Y, September 3, 1887,
and lived there with his parents until
the year 1861 when he removed to
Kane county, Illinois, near the city OF
Elgin, where he began the battle OF
life for himself by his own exertions.
He remained there only short time
and then moved to Cedar county, Iowa,
remaining at that place only short
time, moving then to Jasper county.
In the yearl1S69 he moved to Audubon
county and in partnership with Luke
Herman started cattle ranch on the
prairie land now known as the Jack
O'Brien farm just east of town. On
June 10, 1878, he was united in wed.
lock to Miss Mary Owen, who survives
him. To this union two children were
born, Chas. H., who is now located al
Ross, and Clyde who has been making
his home with his parents.
In June 1881 he disposed of his in
terests here and moved to Nebraska,
remaining in that state nearly three
years, returning to this county at the
end of that time and purchased 160 acres
of land in Viola township where he
made his home until about two years
ago when removed to this city.
The announcement of the termina-
ton of the life of VIM. Wilde as it was
spread over town Friday morning was
no more than had been expected for
some time as he had been failing in
health very fast during the last few
weeks of his illness.
1t was about seven years ago while
working on a roof ola house that he
received foil which proved the start
idg of his demise. He has suffered a
great deal ever since that time but
was able to be around until about six
teen months ago when he was COM
PEELED to take to his bed. Since that
time he has not been able to leave the
house and most of the time not able
to move.
During the time of his long illness
he suffered great pain, but never COM
planned to anyone, holding on to the
hope that he would soon recover.
His wife remained constantly at his
bed side during all of this time.
He was a man who made success OF
life by his own efforts. He was INTEL.
igent, kind and generous and gained
and retained friends wherever he met
them and was highly honored and re-
spected by the score of friends had.
The funeral services were held at
two o'clock Sunday afternoon from the
M. E. church, of which he was men,
Der, the services being conducted by
Rev. Vollmar and assisted by Rev.
Cousins. His body was inferred in
Arlington Heights cemetery.
