ARTHUR 0'nEARn
One OF Oldest Residents Of City
Goes to the Great Beyond.
An Advanced Age.

After an illness that began to be
serious last Monday, Arthur o.
Hearn, ST., passed away at 1880 last
evening at the residence of his daugh-
ter Mrs. Geo. Rulon of this city. He
had been ailipg for :long time but
was not sick enough to be confined
10 his bed until recently.
The deceased was about 90 years of
age and was born In Ireland. He
leaves q wife and two sons, Arthur
and William, and two daughters Ju-
liza and Mary, and step son Phil
Dwyer. He was one Of tho old resi-.
dents of the city coming here in 1881
and has long been familiar figure in
Jamestown. He has been gradually
failing in health, and death was due
to extreme old age, rather than to
any special physical ai]ment.
= A daughter, Mrs. William Putnam
is expected from Duluth, to attend
the funeral. Word s.also expected
from the Oldest son now in British
Colu mbia as to whether he will be
able to attend the funeral or not. 1t
is probable that the last rites will be
at the Catholic church, Wednesday
morning.
The list of residents of the city
who have resided here for quarter
of century or more, is getting small
er each year by removals to other
localities and by death to thin the
ranks. The death of Mr.. O'Hearn,
brings this reflection forcibly to
many, and marks the removal Of an
other citizen whose residence has
practically been identical with the
history and growth Of the. town he
made his home.

with five quart pots filed to the brim
with beer. The visitors bravely strug-
gled with the beer. but managed to
dispose of only about quart between
them. Knowing that it would be con-
sidered an insult to leave beer. they
called porter and ordered him to
finish it. In less time than it takes
to relate it the Bavarian accomplished
the task. Wiping his mustache. he

WILL PLEAD FOR PRISONER
Who Has Laid In the penitentlarv
IL Years and is Believed 10
Be Innocent.

Tne state board of pardons held
meeting at Bismarck Monday and
among the cases that we're brought
up is that Of Joseph Till. young
Hungarian who has been in the pen
itenitary for IL years for the murder
Of his cousin in Pembina county.
From time to time efforts have been
made TO have the prisoner released on
the grounds that he is innocent of
the crime for which he was convicted
by a jury. The main witnesses on
whose evidence he was convicted are
now believed to have comm tilted per-
jury and certain evidence since dis
covered, viii! be brought to the at
tention of the board to prove this.
D. E. Morden, who was deputy sher-
if of Pembina county at the time
was in the city Monday coming from
Wahpeton, where he resides and
vent to Bismarck to do what he
could too show the proofs of inno-
cence Of the..prisoner. The murdered
man was the cousin of the alleged
murdered who could speak no Eng
lish and had only heen in the state
days when the crime was committed;
the cousin was the only friend of
the prisoner and had loaned him
money and assisted him in every
way. There was no motive for the
crime which Murden and others be-
lieve was committed by three men
one Of whom is now an intimate of
the state hospital and whose mind
was upset soon after the crime was
com mitted. Attorney Bangs of
Grand Forks represents the A ustrian
government in the case that, govern.
meEt having, through its represen-
tatives in America, undertaken to
show the innocence of the accused.
The case has been before the board
thr,e IiMes auu disinieres.ed pe. sous
in the state have under taken to get
further hearings on the new evidence
said to have been found which was
never presented to the jury. Bishop
Stanley has taken an interest in the
case and contributed money to get
the testimony and help the cause
along.

To be Completed Next Spring
Many have watched the progress on
the new city hall and fire building
with admiration az the building
shows for it's self and will become a
matter of civic pride. The present
council who have hnaDced and
bought the building to it's present
stage are naturally desir0us of occu-
pying the new quarters for short
time, at least. before their terms ex-
pire, and it was expected that the
contractors would be allowed to COM
plete the building after enclosing it
this fail. But after consultation with
contractors and builders and citizens
wfu are interested in getting a first
class building, In every particular, it
has been decided to postpone hnish-
ing the st, ucture this winter, and
complete it next spring. This will
give the joice, and wood work as we'll
as walls and supports time to settle
and the delay will only make a bet
ter building in every respect. The
first floor of the 6remen's department
will be completed at once, for use of
housing the fire apparatus. Then the
building will be allowed to stand be-
fore plastering and finishing. This
plan was followed in the case of the
high school building and has proved
a wise move as that building is in
much better shape than it would
otherwise have been mad the finish
ing work been done in cold weather.

Can Sing and Dance.
M r POWELL,
Union City, Tenn,

The company presenting the
..Raiah of Bhong' contains many
we'll known funmakers and vocal
lists, and no better vehicle for their
efforts to entertain could have been
secured. The comedy element pre-
dominates the action of the piece
from beginning 10 end, and as ev-
|ery male member of the cast is a
comedian--fun, fast and furious is
the result. "A laugh in every line"
is not an exaggeration in this in
stance, but the humor is natural
and entirely free from the coarse
ness which often mars productions
of the musical comedy class
The female contingent is made up
of pretty girls who know how to
sing and dance. Their costumes
are gorgeous in the extreme, and
the management claims the entire
show to be unsurpassed by any
travelling organization. Reynolds
