HEcK:-The BruhsWicker of
last week contained the follow
ing account of the death OF AL
bert Heck who died at his home,
8 1.2 miles east of Brunswick,
Wednesday evening, January g..
1909, aged A years, 8 months
and % days. Mr.. Heck was
born in Gasconade county. Mo-,
and came, with his parents, to
this county in 1867. December
%, 1890, he was united in mar
risge to Miss Myrtle Hibler,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. j..
Hibler. To this union were
born three sons, Fred, James and
Charles William, all of whom,
with the wife and mother, sur.
vive him. Besides these he is
survived by two brothers, VIM.
Heck, prominent harness man.
ufacturer of California, Mo-, and
John Heck of Schell City, Mo-.
also two sisters, Mrs. VIM. Myers
of Ouray, Colo, and Mrs. Frank
Schifferdecker of Norborne, Mo.
Few people of this vicinity are
spaccquainted with the long and
distressing illness of Albert
Heck. Over seven years ago
he was hauling a load of corn
and in crossing the bridge over
Lake creek, near the old John
Myers place, east of Brunswick,
one of the wheels of his wagon
was broken when it dropped from
the end of the bridge. Mr.. Heck
got down and lifted the wheel up,
and, in SO doing, permanently in
jured himself in his side. The
injury caused him much trouble
and he went to a number of hos.
pitfalls and had number of oper.
ations performed. Nothing, how.
ever, seemed to do him any ma
terial good, and for years he has
suffered untold agonies, the in
jmry and resulting disease wear.
ing out his life by inches. Yet,
through all his suffering he was
patient and kind, never mur-
muring at his sad misfortune.
And when the final summons
came, he passed peacefully,
quietly and calmly to the other
world. Funeral services were
held Friday morning at 10
O'Clock, conducted by Ed. c..
M. Lewellen of the Christian
church. The remains were laid
to rest in the Lower cemetery.

FOR INSANITY
W. W. Moeller Arrested at Lewis
town by City MARSHALL
Acted Strangely.

w. w. Moeller the real estate man
who did the town Sunday and Mon
day, and who was arrested Monday
morning while parading the Main
streets of the city in his bare feet
may have hard time of it before he
finishes, unless something new de-
velops.
1t was thought for time the mans
actions were due to intoXication, but
the officers who had to deal with him
think he is demented and complaint
has been issued from the county at
torney's office alleging Moeller's insan-
ity. He will be brought before the
district judge within the next day or
two and examined on this ground.
1t developed that Moeler is the son
of wealthy member of the Wheel
ock & Wheelock Land Co. who recently
purchased the town site of Rygate
from the Milwaukee Townsite Co.,
and the younger Moeller has been
working in this section of the country
as representative of the company.
Conductors along the line say that his
actions were Of the most eccentric
nature, he at one time taking COM
pany of people into the dinning car
on the main line and spreading his
own lunch. AT another time he in
sisted on being permitted to ride to
LewistoWn on all expired excursion
ticket to Minneapolis.
Upon reaching this city Moeller
created great deal of excitement by
parading Main street playing an ac-
cordeon, and later by hiring cabs buy
ing large quantities of fruit and nick
macs and taking the youngsters on
the street out for the time of their
lives.
When taken into costody the man
was walking up and down the street
in his bare feet and creating a great
deal of fun for the small boys. When
taken to the city Jail he informed the
officer that he would do as he pleased
and if not allowed to do so could go
to town which he owned where he
could roam at will. However, the
officer informed him that he was a
little late in starting, which quieted
him somewhat. The first suspicion
which led to his arrest was The manner
in which he prosmicuously wrote
checks on all banks all over the coun-
try. His father who left the city
Monday morning told him that he
would leave sum of money for him,
providing he would straighten up, and
on the strength of the promise it is
thought that Moeller started on his
tour of the town.
On statements made by a railway
conductor and local reporter, Noel
ler has also been carrying a card on
which he advertises himself as the
of turkish cigarette parlors
in Minneapolis, and while there is as
yet no positive proof that he owns
such an est ablishment, the matter
will be considered together with the
of the officer that the man
had partaken of a little dope" !
which may account for his present
condition..
The case of MOeller will be brought
before the district judge probably to
morrow morning, in an effort to ascer-
ain the mans state of mind. If the
charge OF insanity is found erroneous,
,e will be liable to furthur prosecu-
ion on different grounds, according
o the attorneys offlce.-Lewistown
