CRUSHED BY THE CARS
Charles N. HarrelI, a Former Leon
Boy, is Killed at 0sceoIa While
Working as Brakeman.

| Charles N. Harrell, young man well
known in this city where he resided for
y number OF years, met with fatal ac-
cldent at Osceola last Saturday after
noon about l o'clock, falling from his
train and both his legs being crushed
by the wheels, the injury resulting in
his death three hours later.
AT the time of the accident Mr., Har-
rell was engaged in his duties as brake
man on train No. 66, the freight running
from Des Moines to Osceola, and was
standing on the top Of a box car while
the train was switching in the yards.
Some cars were thrown back and struck
the car on which he was standing, the
jolt throwing him off and he fell be-
tween the cars, the car passing over
him crushing both legs. The train only
moved about twenty feet after he fell
and but one set of trucks passed over
his legs. He was at once taken to the
Osceola hospital, where the physicians
made hasty examination and saw that
his injuries were fatal. He was CON
scioas and when told that he must die
asked that his parents who reside at
Creston be sent for. They were notified
but he died just before they reached his
side. His remains were sent to Cres-
ton the same evening and were brought
to Leon on Monday.
The deceased passed the greater por-
tion of his life in Leon. He was born at
Allendale, Mo-, Sept. 13, 1882, living for
few years with his parents at Bethany,
and came to Leon when he was about
ten years old, his father, II. D. Harrell,
was for many years foreman Of the
south section in this city. After at
tending the Leon schools Charles work
ed for some time at Hamilton g. Casters
grocery and later learned telegraphy at
the Leon station where he was employ
ed for several years and then was as
signed to other stations as op rator.
Last fall he decided to enter the train
service and was given a run as brake
man. He was an exemplary young
man, and very popular with his fellow
employees. He united with the Chris
tian church in this city about five years
ago.
The funeral services were held from
the Christian church in this city Mon
day afternoon, conducted by the pastor,
Elder H. d. Hubbell, interment being in
the Leon cemetery. The bereaved par
ents, brothers and sisters have the sym
pathy of many friends i'll this their for
mer home.

held, services being conducted by the
Rev. +. Edwards, OF 0sceola. The re-
mains were laid to rest in the Young
cemetery to await the call of the resur-
ection trumpet. The husband, fond
parents and many relatives have the
sympathy OF large circle OF ardent,
devoted friends in their sore bereave-
ment. May the God Of all grace and
pity comfort them in the hours Of their
deep affection. Il. Z.

Lecture Course Cleared Money.

The last number on the course which
was given the past season for the bene-
fit of the Leon Public Library was the
lecture at the opera house last Thurs
day evening when Rev. L. B. Wicker
sham delivered his lecture ebay
Dreams" to a large and appreciative
audience, and it was pronounced by all
one of the finest lectures ever heard in
this city. With this lecture the course
ends and the library committee met
Monday evening and were greatly
pleased to find that after paying all
expenses of the course they had the
neat sum of $4,000 left which will be
used for purchasing reference books
for the library. The course throughout
gave the very best satisfaction to those
who subscribed for the season tickets,
and the question of another course is
being agitated with splendid prospects
OF it being secured. At the meeting
held Monday 73 season tickets for a
second course were pledged in few
minutes which shows the interest being
taken in securing first class attrac-
tions. The credit of the success Of the
course in a great degree is due to the
efforts of the club ladies of Leon who
took hold of the mattersand worked the
sale OF the tickets. The library board
in appreciation of their work has asked
them to select the books which will be
purchased with the proceeds of the
course

Bank of pleasanton Pays rs Per
Cent Dividend.

An order of court was received last
week by Assignee G. E. Gardner giving
him authority to pay a75 per cent divi-
dend to the creditors of the defunct
Bank of Pleasanton, at Pleasanton, and
Assignee Gardner was at Pleasanton
Friday paying all depositors who were
on hand to receive their money. Mr..
Gardner, as was expected, is rapidly
realizing on the assets of the bank, and
tells us that he feels sure that the de-
positors will receive every cent that is
due them, the only losers being the men
who owned the bank, the principal loss
falling on Royal Richardson, who
turned over all his property in order
that no one should lose who had their
money in the bank. Assignee Gardner
expects to be able to pay another 20
per cent dividend about June, and then
when the business is all closed up the
depositors will receive the final 5 per
cent. The depositors are greatly
pleased with the prompt manner in
which Assignee Gardner has been
Strengthening out the business, and are
loud in their praise of his efficient
work.

The big horse sale held in this city
last Friday by the Leon Horse Co., was
L regular humdinger. There was large
number of good horses entered for sale,

An Event.

Margaret Ralph in Shakespeare's
.merTiest comedy, "Thes Tanning of the
Shrew" will be the attraction offered at
Van Werdens opera house on Friday
evening, March 81, and it is predicted
that Leon theatre goers will grasp their
earliest opportunity of securing seats
for that which is more than likely to
turn out to be the social event of the
season as far as the theatre is concerned.
"The plays the thing, and "The Tam
ing of the Shrew" is comparatively new
to Leon for indeed this season brings
forth the first attempt to produce it out
side Of the larger cities where Miss
Ada Rehan has scored such distinc-
tion as "Katherine'', the much talked of
Shrew.
The recent demand for plays of the
higher class, especially Shakespearean
revivals, has assured Miss Ralph and
her management Of success and there
fore no expense has been spared in con-
nection with this production, special
attention having been given to scenery
and costumes in detail.
Unlike most Sha&espearean plays, it
is said of "The Tanning of the Shrew"
that its plot is most readily grasped
elAie& dA""JS Oio1oooAly uu1cISCOOu ny
the audience, and from the rise of the
curtain on the first act until the finale
|of the last act it is one continuous
hearty laugh.
Miss Ralph is ideally adapted to the
part OF Katherine possessing all the
qualifications necessary to make it stand
out in her career as triumph. Her
experience in the classic drama and in
support of many of the popular stars in
this country is great advantage to
her in this particular play. The sup
porting. company contains many inter
esting players. all of whom have been
especially picked and engaged for their
individual roles.
The buoyant Petruchio is in the capa-
BILE hands of Richardson Cotton, whose
work in the past will answer all ques-
tions for the part to which he is as
signed. The staging of the piece as
well as the direction of the tour is
under the personal direction of Robert
Lee Allen, whose experience in this
line of work from coast to coast with
such stars as Marie Wainwright, Chas.
B. Hanford and Ward & James, is guar
antee Of a faithful performance. Mr..
Allen will play Grumio, the part in
which he made decided hit two years
ago. Sale of seats at Van Werden's

dicted for assault with intent to commit
