Had Remarkable History.
Stortenbecker was a man with re-
markable history and he was an inter-
esting character. He was a native Of
Germany and came to this country and
located in Davenport. Iowa, in the early
sixties. He removed to Pottawattamie
county and bought land about 1872 and
resided here to the time of his death.
a witness In the present trial testified
that on one occasion Stortenbecker de-
clared that neither God nor Jesus
Christ could kill him. His feeling was
due it is said, to the fact that he had
had a number of hairbreadth escapes
from death. He was known as miser
| and was supposed to have a large
amount Of money concealed in his
house. Early in the tifties burglars dis
guised as negroes visited his home and
on Stortenbecker's refusal to disclose
the hiding place of his wealth. shot
him thru the breast Or. c. II. Pinney
of Council Bluffs, attended him and
after precarous time Stortenbecker
recovered. Stortenbecker was twice
struck by lightning. was kicked almost
to death by a horse. and was several
times i'll from various causes.

been for the systematic advertising

The Exhibits.
The exhibits at Our County Fair
are always good and Ia some of these
departments those Of previous years
were excelled. In fruit rothing finer
was ever shown. Mr.. George E. Rowe,
president Of the West Michigan De-
vel2pment Bureau and memb Der Of
them ichigan horticultural Society,
was asked to act as judge Of the Fruit
and in his report says" Fruit very fine;
cannot be beat ia any state in the
Union" In the Grange Fruit ex-
hibits Marion Center took first, South
Arm second and Peninsula third.
The display of vegetables and grains
were excellent, potatoes in particular
being very good.
The Fancy Work Department,
which is the objective point Of all the
ladies. was far better than 1t has been
ia the years gone by.
The school work department was
well-flled, The County Normal having
quite an attractive display.
The Poultry Department was we'll
filled and some fine specimens shown
In Farm Machinery, Malpass Hdwr
Co. had a nice exhibit. aud Ward &
WsA OF Charlevoix also had dis
play. Jos. Lanway had a nice dis
play OF buggies etc.
In Live Stock, Though, the exhibit
was decidedly weak. There is plenty
of blooded stock In this and adjoining
counties and it is to be sincerely hop
ed that next year this department.
will be built up.
Several Of our merchants had booths
in the Floral Hall, the most striking
one being that Of Payton's Pharmacy
1t consisting ST display of the Gus
tomary drugstore stock and 10 addi-
ton skeleton with an inscription
"Still Hope II he goes to Payton's,"
