OSCAR ALLEN DEAD
Pioneer Merchant, Old Resident, and
Former Justice Of the Peace, Dies
After Long lIIness-Funeral Held

Oscar Allen, one Of the early settlers
and pioneer merchant of the city,
died at his home, 210 North Fifth
street, at 1:35 o'clock Sunday morn
ing of cardiac dropsy after an illness
of seven years. His death was not un-
expected, and the end came slowly af
ter years of intense suffering. For six
years he sat and slept in the chair in
which he died, being unable, on ac-
count of the disease, to lie down. Os-
car Allen, in the early days of the city,
was prominent as merchant. Later
he became an active member of the old
volunteer fire department, and for
years was justice OF the peace.
Oscar Allen was born March H.
1910, in Oswego, Ill. He grew up or
the frontier Of his native state and
Minnesota, and in 1869 came to this
city, where he had since lived. With
his brother, Ethan, he opened the first
agricultural implement store in the
city. A few years after moving here
Mr.. Aliens wife died and in 1875 he
married Mrs. Margaret Gordon, who
survives him. To the first union was
born a daughter, Josephine, now Mrs
Virginia Drew Prescott, of Portland,
o. A son, Gordon Allen, also survives
his father. He is now instructor of
music in the Idaho Industrial School,
at ST. Anthony, Idaho. Until recently
the family lived at 100 West Grant
street.
The funeral was held from the resi-
dence Sunday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock
Rev. L. B. Xix, officiating. The choir
of the Congregational church sang.
The pail bearers were NJ. f. Andrews,
]. F. Meeker, John Page, w. j. Forte,
J. S. Mcneil, and ]. F. Tallman. The
burial was in Riverside.

Jury Decides Automobile Dam
age Suit in Favor Of the
Plaintiff, in Part
SPEED LIMIT NOT EXCEEDED
Verdict Based on Failure of Defend
ant to Bring Machine to Full Stop
at tho Moment Of PeriI-case Will
be Appealed to the Supreme Court
Local Field.


The jury in the cases of Mrs. Dora
M. Walkup against George H. Beebe,
returned verdict awarding the plain
tiff damages in the sum Of $1,000 This
is the automobile accident case, which
has attracted wide interest because il
is the first suit of the kind to have
ty. Mrs. Walkup sued for $1,000. Mr..
Beebe's attorneys have prepared an
appeal bond and will carry the suit to
the supreme court.
The jury, which was given the case
at o'clock Saturday afternoon, agreed
upon a verdict at 10 O'clock that night.
The verdict was sealed and did not be-
come known until read in court this
morning. After the findings were an
nounced, Mr.. Beebe said he had moth
ing to say for publication. Mrs. Walk
up, the plaintiff, said the award was
not as much as she expected. but she
would necessarily accept what She
could get.
In making up its findings the jury
did not find that Mr.. Beebe was run
ming his machine at an unlawful rate
of speed at the time of the accident.
Three interrogatories were propounded
to the jury and in reaching verdict
two of these were decided in favor OF
the defendant automobilist. One OF
these questions was whether or not, al
the moment of the accident, the au-
tomobile was being operated ait an un-
lawful speed, or exceeding ten miles
per hour. The jury answered this in
favor of the defendant Another IN
terrogatory was whether the defendant
failed to bring his machine to a fun
stop as soon as he saw the peril to the
plaintiff. The jury decided that he
PENDANT failed to do this, and 1t was on
this fact, as shown by the evidence
that judgment Of $1,000 was awarded.

Precipitation During Night Amounts
to More Than Two Inches.
The heaviest rainstorm of the entire
year prevailed Sunday night; and be-
tween 1890 o'clock last night and Z a.
m. today the fall amounted to 2.l0
inches. The fall during the early part
of the night was very heavy. and peo-
ple who had gone to church services
before the storm broke had difficulty
in getting home, because of the inces-
SAINT downpour and the flooded con-
dition of the streets. Many called
hacks and 'busses into service to es-
cape a drenching. North Third street
at the junction of Park was again
flooded so that the street cars could
not operate on the north end of the
line. and other streets where the drain
age and sewer facilities are inade-
ouate were in similar condition.
The storm same following another
hot day, the temperature going to 50
degrees, six degrees higher than on
Saturday. The minimum for the night
was SO, compared to IS Saturday night,
and SIS was indicated this morning,
compared to ~ yesterday morning. The
precipitation Saturday amounted to .1S
of an inch.
AS "a result of the heavy rains the
creeks were almost bank full this morn
ing and the Iowa river has been ris-
ing all day.

A short time ago, we published an
article recommending to our readers
the new discovery for the cure of Dys-
pe.psia, called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, and the claim then made regard
ing the wonderful curative properties
of the remedy have been abundantly
sustained by the facts. People who
were cautious about trying new rem
e6lies advertised in the newspapers and
were finally induced to give Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets a trial were sur
prised and delighted at the results.

Returns.

S. C. Mcfarland, United States con-
sui at Reichenberg Austria, came home
from Lost Island Lake, Sunday even
ing. and was removed to st. Thomas
