"A LANDMARK is DESTROYED
The Giant Cottonwoods in Front Of
Or. MueIler's Residence are
Cut Down.

The giant cottonwoods which stood
in front of Dr. Mueller's residence on
Main street were cut down last week
and some of the oldest landmarks of
Denison were destroyed. The larger
of the big trees was 92a feet tall and
had a circumference of over fifteen
feet at the base.
Workmen are busy reducing the
fallen giants to stove wood and like
many other things they will soon go
up in smoke. These trees were plant
ed in the early days of Denison's his
tory and on the lots occupied by the
old Highland House, of ancient
memory. With characteristic energy
they grew rapidly and marked the
change from the open prairie to the
civilized and comfortable home of
man.
Some people do not like the cotton
wood tree, but we do, with us it is
associated with the early days and
with the pioneer people, so many of
whom have passed away. In those
early days, when the easy going ma

winter days.. The cottonwood is a
talkative chaltty, sociable tree. In
the summer breeze it whispers of how
bright the day, how good the crops,
and how pleasantly the hours may be
spent beneath it's branches. When
the storms comes it sighs and means
and shivers. 1t seems to catch all the
spirit of the wild night wind and some
how it was always a comfort to us
as child to hear it defying the storm
to do its worst. The cottonwood is
a cleanly tree. Its leaves always
look as if they had just had their faces
washed and the fleecy cotton that
floats lazily through the air is a nuis-

of the other good things the cotton

ASOLOIER'S DEATH
William Gauddard of Corning
Dies in the City Hospital
at Denison.
Observation-Disclosures

Death Heart Broken Relatives
Claim His Body.

Alone, friendless, sick and penni-
less, William Gauddard a volunteer
soldier of the Philippine war landed
in Denison on Friday night having
been sent here by the Carroll authori-
ties under that humane plan of shov-
ing the unfortunate on to the next
town. He was found by the Denison
officers and given lodging in the coun-
ty Jail. On Saturday it was found
that he was very sick man and he
was taken to the city hospital and
given the very best Of care. Sickness
and exposure had already done their
work, however, and he died early on
Monday morning. At first no clue to
his identity could be found and ac-
cording to the law in such cases the
authorities were about to send the
body to the medical college at Iowa
City, when DIR. johnson fortunately
found a small diary in his pocket
which gave his name and in which it
was written. II am subject to rheuma-
tism Of the heart and should l die sud-
denly notify, my father, Lewis Gaud-
dard of Corning, Iowa.
A telegram was Immediately sent
and reply was received at once.
The father was unable to come but his
sister, Mrs. Heinz arrived in Denison
on Tuesday and returned to Corning
with the body of her brother. De-
ceased was but twenty-eight years of
age, he bore no marks of disappation
and his .sister stated that he had
always been quiet, sober and industri-
GUS. He lived on his fathers farm
until the Philippine war. He entered
the ranks as volunteer and it is
claimed that lying in the swamps on
picket duty was where he contracted
the disease which caused his death.
After returning to America he went
to the Black Hills country. He did
not prosper and finally he came te
Iowa seeking to reach relatives at
Boone. His money gave out at Car
-AffolI and from that place he was sent
to Denison to die. The story is a sac
one and our sympathy goes out to his
afflicted loveed ones.

standpoint was shown today when

DON I THINK
HE'S DEAD

The body Of Theodore Thurman,
the Tyler, Wash, bartender. who
shot and killed Lipscomb in a
quarrel over the boys of the two
men fighting, has not been recover
ed from Fish Trap lake. 1t is con-
sidered doubtful II the body is in
the lake at all. Thurman sent a
note to his wife saying he was
about to drown himself as he was
hungry and wet along with which
he sent SCI, knife and ring; but
the police and sheriffs scoff the
idea and hold to the theory that
the note was but ruse to throw
them off the murderer's track. A
good likeness Of Thurman has been
sent to cities all over the north
west. The belief is that Thurman
is in hiding in or near this city.
Fish Trap lake is so deep little
can be done to find a body and the
sheriff will wait for about 10 days
before searching it, as the body in
that time will rise to the surface
if actually in the water.
