This puts an end to the rumor that

VINEYARD EXPIRED IN STABLE
AT sAPuLPA, OKLA.

A, r. or A. E. Vineyard, who until
less than two months ago resided in
Ottumwa, died suddenly yesterday at
Sapulpa, Okla When leaving Ottum-
wa some time ago, Vineyard gave in
structions to the postoff1ce to have his
mail forwarded to Russell, Iowa, and
later asked to have his mail forwarded
to Manden, Mo- This is the last known
of Vineyard in Ottumwa, where he re-
sided but short time, and received
his mail through the general delivery.
The dispatch from Oklahoma announc-
ing his death follows:
Sapulpa, Okla, Dec. 22.-''Whose
hand is this?" asked A. r. Vineyard, a
late conner from Ottumwa. Ia, as he
sat on a bale of hay at the Sapulpa
livery barn, feeling of a benumbed
member.

FIRES FEARED BY
INSURANCE men
COMPANIES PAY LARGE LOSES AT
CHRISTMAS TIME EACH YEAR
URGE CAUTION.

The insurance men of Ottumwa are
anything but pleased with the idea Of
Christmas, and more so the decora-
lions which so many people use during
the holiday time. They say there is
an unlimited amount of carlessness in
Illuminating and decorating at this
time. Both fire and life insurance
companies are looking forward to
WHAT they think will result in losses
both to individuals and the companies
they represent before the holiday sea-
son is over. All the officers of the
companies will heartily subscribe to
the sentiments of the Irish philosopher
"Mr Dooley," who said, I'll vote for
no man FIR presidint who stands on
any other platform but to uphold pran-
ciples f'r which many thousands Of
Americans have almost bin cremated
thryin to play Santa Claws"
The record of lives lost through at
tempted representations of Santa
Claus was a long one in this coun-
try last year.
Rope whiskers and fur coats are
about as safe thing around a Christ
mas tree as az pipe in a powder fac
tory. Realizing this, the insurance
men are taking the precaution of call
ing the attention of some of their heav-
lest policy holders to the dangers Of
the holiday season
The insurance men say that these
dangers are not so great in the city
as in the country districts. In the
larger cities electric lights take the
place of the candle in the window dog
orations and hold down the average
of holiday fires. Country storekeep-
ers and small town merchants indulge
in carnival of reckless and danger.
GUS displays of holiday decorations
that leave a trail Of despair for the in,
surance adiuster to follow.

not without some effort in persuading
guardians. Robert Young was one of
these and as he could not produce
more than nineteen annual cycles Of
father time to his credit, by the use
of the telephone his guardian Henry
Robertson, and his mother, Mrs. G..
w. Olson, satisfied the license dis
penser and a permit was granted to
Robert Young and Tressie Shultz. AL
most repetition of the Young case
came up when Lawrence G. Rogers re-
quested license to wed Mae L.
Yanke Both were but IS years of age
and the mother of the groom presump-
tive stating that she had been di.
vorced and her former husband had
nothing to do with the son, obtained
the license for her boy The other per-
sons to receive licenses were. Fred H.
Sumner and Dora E. Reno, J. E. Davi-
son and Mrs. Margaret Cremer, Joe
Fisher and Eva May Warrick, Stanley
! Curtis and Osa Warren, James o. Han
