Death Of a Former Laclsde Woman.

The BLADE has received clipping
from a Deadwood, South Dakota,
newspaper, giving an account of the
death Of Mrs. F. E. Ickes, known and
remembered by the older citizens of
Laclede as Miss Flo Jones, daughter
of Mrs. Lide Slingerland, and rela-
tive of the Tracys. She was about
forty years of age, and died after an
illness of but a few hours. While at
tending an operetta she was seized
with fainting spell and lapsed into
unconsciousness, and remained oblivi-
GUS to surroundings to the end. Her
death is attributed to some food that
she had eaten that caused ptomaine
poisoning. She was married in 1884
to Frank E. Ickes, who with their
four sons survives her. Her youngest
son was born in Laclede while the
mother was visiting here several
years ago.

ED. ALLEN ASSAULTED.
Knocked Down by Sherman Brsntner IN /
Hotel a Excelsior Springs Wednesday,.

A special dispatch from Excelsior
Springs to the Kansas City Journal
of last Thursday says:
e. B. Allen, Of st. Louis, member Of
the state committee at large and dele
gate to the Republican convention, was
struck in the face and badly injured
this morning by a man named Sherman
Brantner, of Kansas City. Allen was
in q toilet room when Brantner APP
preached and struck him in the face
with his fist. Allen was knocked down
and was too dazed from the blow to at
tempt to strike back. He was re-
moved to sanitarium where he was
confined to his room for the rest ofthe
day. Brantner was arrested but sub
sequently released on bond. His
reason for the attack was that Allen
had promised to secure him a job and
had tailed to do 80.
Sherman Brantner formerly lived
in Laclede and is we'll known here.
His statement that Mr.. Allen had |
promised him job in the revenue of
fee at st. Louis is not credited here,
and it is considered most brutal and |
assault.
