sembled there to hear the Baccalaur.
cate service that was to be given in
honor of the graduates of this year s
class, and the program had just got
ten nicely started when the lights be-
gan to fail on them. Mr.. AID Seiberi
] went down into the basement to help
| fix them and the tank exploded. Al
the time of the explosion Mr.. Seibert
was right over the tank working and
| it great mystery to all how he ever
escaped so lucky. This caused a
great commotion in the church, some
| tainted and screamed but it was soon
vacated and some went home while a.
| bout one half of the crown remained
and some lamps were secured and the
rest of the program was given. Mr..
Seibert was not injured very seriously
he was badly scared and burnt some
about the face and hands.
Mr.. y James Warren, q resident of
this county since 1865, and man who
possessed in large measure the re-
spect and esteem of all who knew him,
died at his home in Pyomost township,
two miles north of this city, on May
%, 1907. The illness which resulted in
his death was heart trouble, compli-
Gated with the illness incident to old
age. He had been ailing for five years
the last attack being of, about five
weeks duration, and the end was not
unexpected. Mr.. Warren was born
on the twenty third day of April, 1884,
in Effingham, New Hampshire; his
father being the seventh son of the
noted General Warren, of Revolution
airy fame. When eighteen years of
age he went from the place ofhis birth
to Boston, where he was employed in
the cotton mills for time. and in 1856
went to Gibson, Wisconsin. where he
remained until 1864 when he removed
to a farm near Lincoln, Nebraska;
however in 1865 he moved to Extra,
up in Audubon county; the same year
coming to Cass county. Since that
time he had lived in the two counties.
On the twelfth day of April, 1858, he
was married at Gibson, Wisconsin, to
Mary l.. Chapman; and to this union
eight children were born, only three of
whom are living. He leaves no broth
ers or sisters, he being the last of his
family. He was member of no secret
orders, but life long member of the
Methodist church. He is survived by
his wife and three sons: Lyman E.
Warren, of Lewis: G. f. Warren, at
home; and Fred l.. Warren, out at
Lewiston, Idaho; all of whom were at
his bedside at time of death. The funer-
al services were held at the family
home the next afternoon, conducted
by Rev. A, d. Beckhart, and burial
took place in the Atlantic Cemetery. -
