MYSTERY IN SHOT

Coroner Nichols Investigates Both
Cases.

The death of stranger in strange
no one here to mourn Kim, was the lot
of D. Daven, of Beloit, Wis, a man

ment as yard man by Robertson d
Strub. and was at work this morning
when stricken with apcpleXy. He died
a half hour later back of the restau-
rant, where he laid down after having
suffered the fatal attack.
Daven Is supposed to have come here
from Eldora, where he claimed to have
been employed in the Hotel Winches-
ter. Altho he was feeling we'll Sunday
evening, he complained of not being
quite himself this morning when he
arose. He went to work, however, and
was enga aged in handling ice at about
s o'clock when he fell to the ground.
Subject to Epilepsy.
Other employees in the yard went to
Daven's side to assist him to arise,
and the man stated that he would be
all right in time. He explained that
he was subject to fits" meaning cpl
lepsy, and would recover in short
time. The employees wanted to take
him upstairs and put him to bed, but
the man said he would lie down out
side, as he didn't feel strong enough
to climb the stairs. He was very un-

In one Of the snappiest games OF the
season Kennedy's men won from Keo-
kuk the first game of the series sun
day nv the score of to /. The team
was on tiptoe from start to finish, and
while the game lacked any especially
sensational features it was played Well
and without any mistakes that proved
serious. While not without errors, the
few made were not of the glarlng
kind that have been so common in re-
cent games.
Kent pitched his usually steady and
effective game, and his support was so
good that five hits, including Arm
strong's two-bagger, were all that
could be accredited to the visitors. The
team ran bases well, and took chances
to score that helped to increase the
total of the tallies. By the addition of
new players the Keokuks team has
been greatly strengthened, and while
still tailenders they are by no means
easy
1t was by punching two of the five
hits they got in the fourth inning that
Keokuk was able to score. Yant, VINO
was first up in the inning, cracked
out a single. Birmingham sacrificed
him to second, and he scored on Arm
strong's drive along the first base
line, which rolled almost to the fence.
From that time on the visitors We're
helpless SO far as scoring was con-
cerned, and only once did they reach
third base.
Prater started to pitch for Keokuk,
but after a little more tha.n three inn
ings, he was relieved and Boyd sub
stituted in his place Prater was taken
out after he had passed Middleton
who was first up and Foster had got
a hit. Kents out advanced each
base, and second and third were occu-
pied when Boyd went in. Misse fouled

investigator Proved That John L,
Mikesh Had Died During Night.
Because he failed to answer reveille
at the Iowa Soldiers Home this NOR
ming, members in ward No 4. in the
main building, investigated and found
John L. Mikesh dead. The BODY was
then cold, and it is presumed that the
man died shortly before midnight. This
superstition is taken because, shortly
before the clock struck twelve, some
one was heard to groan once or twice.
AS everything was still after that, and
no commotion was caused. no one
knows for sure that the groans were
made by Mikesh.
Mikesh was one of the oldest mem
bers of the home in point of length
of membership, bearing No 223. He
entered the home from Stillville, Win
neshiek county, where he was living at
the outbreak of the. war. Mikesh
served, however, in a Wisconsin, regi-
ment, Company A, Of the Fifth infantry
and enlisted July 10. 1861 He was
discharged April IL, 1862.
Altho 81 years Of age, Mikesh en-
joyed good health, and was we'll Sun
day, having been down to supper as
usual. Coroner Nichols was informed,
but decided there was no necessity Of
an inquest. Heart failure and old age
are ascribed as the causes Of death.

are supposed to be residents Of Win

Altho Murphy has been Haywood's

Committee to Meet Soon.

The indications are that the second
Marshall county fair, to be held this
fall, in this city, will surpass the first
one OF last season in every way. This
is the opinion of Secretary W. M.
Clark, based on the demand for pre-
MUM lists and entry blanks, and the
exhibitors. Mr. Clark said this morn
ing, that where he had had one inquiry
last year he has had five this season.
In some instances requests for infor-
nation regarding the premium lists and
requirements relative to exhibits, have
come from other states.
The interest at this time, when the
fair is still seven weeks away, foretells
an exhibit of products, and an attend
ance that will exceed the high mark
OF last year.
The foundation for the new agricul-
week, and the work Of erecting the
building will be begun as soon as the
foundation is dry enough to put the
stills on top of it, which will probably
be within day or two. Mr.. Clark
Is of the opinion that the executive
committee can scarcely avoid building
at least one more building this season.
The demand for another building in
which to display exhibits was impera-
tive last season, and is made doubly
so this year, owing to the prospects for
even more exhibits.
A meeting of the executive commit
tee will probably be held late this week
or the first OF next week.
