We see by the Coon Rapids papers
that the Fong Wo who was killed in
the Rolfe cyclone last week was the
Fong Wo who went from there to
Rolfe year or two ago, and as our
old laundryman went from here TO
Coon Rapids we suppose there is no
doubt but this Chiniman who met his
death is none other than the one who
lived and laundried so long in Audu-
bon on lower Broadway. IL seems al
most pathetic to see human live. so
many years in poverty and isolation
in hope of returning to his native land
and then be so cruelty killed. He was
the only person killed in the Rolfe
storm.- He was running, for shelter
when roof was blown upon him,
crushing him. ammat staaa

But the funniest thing is that Bro.
Spencer is too modest to be candi-
date for the democratic nomination
for representative. He repels our
mild insinuation that he Is in the list
OF eligibles for that place. May we
look for him soon to resign the editor
ship of the Advocate because he
doubts his ability to run it? We had
thought that one who was qualified to
creditably conduct county newspa-
per was perhaps qualified to represent
his county in the Legislature. Did we
put the standard of the editor too
high or that OF the legislator too low?
Or is it possible that Bro. Spencer
agrees with Carlton in his estimate of
the material needed for an editor, that
when the boy is found that is of no
account for anything. else they will
make an editor out o. him"

DISTRICT COURT.
Edgar Allen Found Guilty. other
Court News.

The case of the State VS. Edgar Allen,
was commenced Monday. The state
was represented by County Attorney
F. II. Blume assisted by w. A. Fol
lett, of Atlantic, while ]. NJ. Graham,
assisted by Mr.. Hudspeth, of Atlantic,
were for the defendant. The indict-
ment charged defendant, Edgar Allen,
a young man, of Extra, with having
obtained money under false pretenses
from Miss Nellie Krittenbrink, of
Atlantic.
The evidence showed the two were
engaged to be married, that Allen had
but little or no money, that Miss
Krittenbrink was infatuated with
Allen, that she had money and gave it
to him quite freeley, that he repre-
scented to her that he had a business
proposition on hands, the purchase of
dray line, in which he needed to use
$500, that he had $500 of his own, and
he thus secured 5000 from her sent by
draft to Extra. He got the draft
cashed and then left for Ohio, from
whence he was brought by Sheriff
Anderson. The state introduced some
evidence to show that Allen had boast
ed he was working the girl for money.
The case hinged on whether defendant
misrepresented in order to get posses
sion of the money. Defendants at
torneys introduced some testimony to
show Miss Krittenbrink knew Allen
had no money. Defendant did not go
on the stand himself.
The case was we'll conducted, Mr..
Blume especially doing able work.
The case went to the jury about six
O'Clock Tuesday evening. They were
out all night, bringing in a verdict of
guilty at 8 a. m. Wednesday. A new
trial is being asked for today.
In the case of Swim VS. Robson which
was on trial last week when we went
to press, the jury returned verdict
of $3.50 for plaintiff. A new. trial is
being asked for in that case in the
court today.
In the case of Oaks VS. Stanley in
which plaintiff claimed sale of hay
amounting to $3.50, jury found for
plaintiff.
The Edwards VS. Kraft case was con-
tinued.
DeLano VS. Anderson was an action
to subject real estate in payment of a
judgment. Attorney DeLano was col
lecting attorney fees from A. r. and
ID. B. Anderson. A settlement was
reached yesterday, s4O0 being paid,
5000 having been claimed,
The jury has been dismissed and
court will likely adjourn soon.

John Dawson,s Death.

John Dawson, who has been in poor
health several years, died at his home
in this city Tuesday morning at about
four o'clock. Seven or eight years
ago he was taken with dropsy, and
was greatly afflicted with it. The last
few years he was practically recovered
from that trouble, but was attacked
with kidney trouble, of which he died.
Mr.. Dawson was born at Wood
Corners, near Hornsea, in Yorkshire,
England, March !, 1924. He was one
of family of thirteen children, all of
whom, except one, lived TO be men and
women, and four of whom are still
living. He was married in England
and one of his children was born there.
They afterwards moved to Canada,
then to New York state, and later to
Jackson county, this state. His first
wife having died he was married in
1854 to Phebe Hester Hopkins who
survives him. They moved to Audu-
bon county, settling in Cameron town.
ship, twenty three years ago. Two
years later they moved to Audubon.
Mr.. Dawson was the father of nine
children, two being children of his
first wife. They are all living except
the youngest, Maud, who died at Au-
dubon several years ago.
Deceased joined the Christia n
church more than quarter of a CEN
fury ago. After coming to Audubon,
there being no Christian church here
then, he affiliated with the Methodist
church, but when the opportunity
came he again identified himself with
the Christian church. He lived faith
full to his VOWS and died full of the
hope of the happiness beyond.
Mr.. Dawson was wagon maker by
trade. He also carpentered some here
in early times. He was most excel
lent workman. 1t is said there is still
in use wagon in England made by
him before he came to this country
over fifty years ago. When he did
work it was we'll done. He was man
of good mental endowments along the
lines in which he had had training,
and was held in esteem by the public.
The children were all present except
John. Those here were Thomas Daw-
son, of Oxford Junction; Isabel Alb
rams, of Iowa City; Frank Dawson,
of Viola township; Fanny Killinger,
Mary Bilharz and Jennie Donaldson,
of Audubon.
The funeral was from the residence
yesterday at p. m. and was conduct
ed by Rev. Mccormick, assisted by
Rev. Cousins. The sympathy of the
community is with the aged widow and
the relatives.

E. Z. Pennington, of Greeley town
ship, declares he likes this rolling,
hilly country. He moved out here
from a fat part of Illinois about two
years ago, a place where, when it
rained like it has here recently, the
water took its time very leisurely to
run off or soak away, spending often
some weeks at it. He says that Audu-
bon county farms can stand either the
drouth or the wet weather better than
the fiat country.

Fl. w. Stearns, new road supervi-
sor for Leroy township, is meeting
lots of difficulties in looking after the
roads in his big district. The almost
constant rains of the past four weeks
have undermined great many of the
dirt approaches to bridges and Gull
verts and have made them so soft that
they cave in. The condition of the
soil is SO wet that it is impossible to
put in new entertainments now. Mud
doesn't make embankments. In many
places he has had to lay planks and
make temporary repairs, and will fol-
low as soon as the weather and soil
become good and make more perma-
nent repairs. Mr.. Stearns wishes us
to remind the farmers in his township
that he will soon call on them for
their money road tax, two mill levy,
so as to get money TO do this work
with. He is also having trouble to
get help when he needs it. We pre-
sumo about the same conditions exist
in the other districts of the county.
1t is proving poor year to test the
new road law. !.

Mrs. Brainard, who lives in the
south part of town, whose big chicken
house was destroyed by that heavy
southwest wind one evening about two
weeks ago, says she had 400 young
chickens then and has less than 200
now. The cool, wet weather and lack
OF shelter has wrought the havoc. The
chicken house was 24x24, and was de-
molished. They are building three
smaller ones now. They have two in
.eabators nearly ready to hatch now,
so they will have some chickens yet.

Memorial Day.

Memorial Day last Saturday was
cold and rainy, thus sadly interfering
with the nice program which had been
arranged and prevented the usual gem
eral observance of the occasion by
our people. When the hour came for
the public meeting it was raining a
steady drizzle with strong east
wind. The attendance at the church
was therefore small. Those on the
programme, however, were there.
Owing to the absence of the president
of the day, ID. C. Mott was called to
the chair. The music was of high
character, patriotic and beautifully
rendered. w. C. Elliott was the or
ator of the occasion and delivered an
able address altogether worthy of the
occasion. 1t had excellent literary
finish, was noble andpatriotic through
out and good in poetic expression and
was we'll delivered. Mr.. Elliott ad-
vanced his reputation as public
speaker. That part of the program at
the cemetery had to be deferred. Sun
day the old soldiers went to the Gem
etery and decorated the graves of
their departed comrades.
