DIED OF HEART DISEASE
MRS. JAMES e. YORK STRICKEN
LAST EVENING.
Falls TO Street While Walking With
Her Daughter; Came % Cityto
Attend Lodge Meeting.
From Saturdays Daily.

VloiH cdtuiudy . Ddily.
Mrs. James +. York. residing near
Bradlcy's crossing, died very suddenly
of heart disease on North Front street
last evening, while coming to the city
to attend the meeting of the Degree
|of Honor lodge, No. 20 of which she
was u member. She drove TO the city,
accompanied by her fourteen year old
daughter. Miss Alice, and put her
horse up in a barn on the pairie in
the north part of the city. Then she
started to walk TO the A. o. u. W..
hall, but had not gone more than a
block when she became short of breath
and was obliged to sit down upon the
sidewalk. Feeling worse, she asked
her daughter to summon help. Mr..
Kronfeldt, shoemaker living two or
three rods away, was summoned, and
assisted Mrs. York TO walk to his
home. She could get no further than
the steps, however, and sat down upon
them. Mr. Kronfcldt then summoned
d neighbor. and together they carried
Mrs. York, who weighed about go
pounds. into his home. Two physi-
clans were summoned, but before they
arrived she had passed away. The
physicians pronounced death due to
fatty degeneration of the heart, and
probably infltration.
Coroner Kennedy was summoned
and made an investigation. but found
no need for an inquest. The death
occurred at about 1870 p. III.
The deceased was born at Baxter
Iowa, and her age was forty-eight
years. Her maiden name was Armen-
la Jane Kline. Her father, j. w. Kline,
is now living at Des Moines, Iowa
where her two brothers, Frank and
Commodore, also live. A sister, Mrs.
Cooper, resides at Collins Iowa.
Mr.. and Mrs. York were married
thirty-two years ago at Baxter. and
four wears later came to MankatO,
and have lived in this city and vi.
entity ever since. Mr. York is a stone
quarry worker. Thirteen children
were born to them, of whom eleven
are living, as follows: John, Edward
and Frank of st. Paul, Harry, Ida,
Emma, Alice Earl, Nina, ZulO and
Vera, who live at home or in Man
kato.
The deceased was member of the
Presbyterian church at Kasota. She
was hard working woman, and had
many friends who will be shocked to
learn of her sudden death.
The funeral will be held from the
Presbyterian church at two o'clock
Monday afternoon:

Judge Cray Grants J. S. Barr
Separation From Wife.
From Fridays Daily.


The third trial of the case of the
State of Minnesota VS.. Emmett Carey
will probably never take place. The
case stands continued until the June
term of the district court upon the
records, but the next entry is likely
to be dismissed"
Today August c. Zengler, an hon
est and hard working Sterling farmer,
aged thirty nine, took out license
to wed Miss Cora Bogart, aged TWEEN
ty-one, who is the accuser of Emmett
Carey in connection with the parent
age of her child. Mr.. Zenglcr is con-
WINGED that Mr.. Bogart's testimony,
as given before two juries, is true,
and wants wife TO care for his
home, and in Miss Bogart has found
the one he wants. The sentiments of
Mr.. Zengler are reciprocated by Miss
Bogart, and they are to be married
tomorrow at her home. While this
does not dispose of the case against
young Carey, it is thought that the
effect will be to call it to a halt.

Merchants Adopt Cash System

With the beginning of July two
more of Ladysmith' business houses
have adopted the cash system.
Nelson &, Hand and f. M. Worden
have bOth come to the conclusion
that the credit system is only a
source of trouble and dissatisfaction
to both the merchant and his patron
1t is the credit system of the home
merchant that has built up the mail
order houses, as the former could
not compete with the latter in prices
because of the bad debts which ac-
crue under the credit system. Cash
or good security is the rule with the
majority of Ladysmith's business
houses o w. "When everybody
pays cash." as Mr.. WOrden says,
"we'll all have a bank account"
