died at his home in Lacey, Iowa, OF
obstruction of the bowels, June IL,
1904, at 1915 p. M, aged So years, 4
months and "a days. D.
He was born in Logan county Ohio,
his parents in 1856, to Allamakee
county, where they resided until the
spring of 1865, when his family again
removed to Mahaska county, where
he has since resided. The father
fighting for his country in the late
civil war for three years, Louis, al
though a mere child, was the only
support and comfort Of his mother
and little sister Mr.. Ballinger was
agent for the Iowa Central railway at
years and months, and has been
postmaster at Lacey since December,
1886; and for a public man holding
such positions was universally be-
loved and respected and his loss will
be keenly felt. His honesty and in
tegrity was without reproach and he
had a feeling of love and pity for
those downtrodden and oppressed. On
Marth 23s 1873, he married Esther j.
Schock, to whom three children were
born, Fred K, Of Burlington, Ia. Mrs.
Nellie G.. Williams, of Oskaloosa, and
Alvin A. The funeral occurred at La
cey on June 13 at 10 a. M, in the NJ.
E. church. Rev. L. G. Cummings the
resident pastor, preached an able ser.
mon from the SD verse of the 18th
chapter Of LIST Corinthians. The cas-,
ket was hidden beneath a bank of
beautiful flowers, silent and last
token of the love of sorrowing friends.
His death was double affection on
the family, as the father, j. w. Bal.
linger, was buried only day prior to
the death Of the son. Relatives at.
tending the funeral from distance
were Jesse Ballinger, of Deadwood
S. d.; Frank Ballinger and wife, OF
Emerson, Nebr; his son, Fred Bal
linger, from Burlington; Mr.. and Mrs
c. H. Gale, of West Plains, Mo. In
terment was made in Forest GENE

slope beneath the pleasant flowers
and trees peacefully sleeps the body
Of our loved one. B.

RIOT AT ST. JOHN.
Shooting and House Burning Make a
Lively Afternoon.

st. John, Kan, July 1S.-One man
shot, innumerable others badly fright
ened, a burned house and a general
exciting afternoon were the results of
a small race riot at St John.
Three harvest hands had walked
from where they had been at work in
the country and when they reached
the railroad track they stopped to eat
a lunch they had brought with them.
Three drunken negroes came up the
track and ordered the men to leave.
They were Missouri fellows and did
not like to be talked to that way by
negroes and so expressed tn themselves.
A riot resulted and the negroes drew
their razors. The harvestors took
clubs and kept the negroes back until
one of the negroes went two blocks
and borrowed a shotgun, saying that
he was going hunting. He returned
to where the men were and opened
fire upon them.
The first shot missed its mark, but
the second took effect in one mans
knees. The negro then shot at the
other men and dropping the gun made
for a big corn field near by. The po-
lice were phoned for and nearly all
in arreSting the negro, who had hid
den in the field.
The wounded man, who did not give
his name, was taken up town and
cared for while an excited crowd sur
rounded the corn field.
The other three negroes threatened
the crowd and the crowd threatened
them in turn and lynching was talked
of freely. When the excitement was
at it's highest pitch one of the negro
houses was discovered to be on fire.
An effort was made to save some of
the household goods but failed, and
the house and contents were a total
loss. No one seemed to know how the
house caught fire, but it is supposed
that some of the enraged men touched
the match
The negro who did the shooting
had lived in st. John some time and
was known as Alex. Alexander. and
had the reputation of being tough.
The wounded man will recover, but
may be manned for life, as both knees
were shot to pieces.
