Times Republican in Effort to Secure
Information of Long Lost Family
Adopted Into Reece Family After
Fathers Death.

Mrs. o. o. Donley, of Vinton, anxious
to learn of the whereabouts of her
mother, and believing her now to be a.
resident of this city, has written the
cure some information that will en-
able her to see and know her mother
again. Mrs. Donley's maiden name was
Chase, and as Maude Chase she was
adopted into the family of D. II. Reece

lieves, after the death of her father.
Mrs. Donley was born in this city

adopted by the Recess the family
Mrs. Donley says, she learned that her
mother had married again, her second

to Chicago Now Mrs. Donley says she
has heard that her mother is in Mar
shalltown. living near Linn creek.

Mrs. Donley knows but little of her
brothers or sisters, but thinks that in

seven children. She does not remem-
Der their christian names, but thinks
that one of her brothers was named
Roy Chase. She knows but very little
of her father, but thinks that at one
time in this city he conducted a gro
Gerry store.

ious TO learn for sure whether her
mother is alive or not and where her
brothers or sisters reside. Any one

members of the family, or being able
to furnish any information that will
lead to further particulars, may COM

ina Local. AmdteuTs
Carl Busch who claims the light
weight wrestling championship Of Ger
many, had little trouble throwing Jo-
seph Angelsberg, local amateur,
three times within the allotted time at
the Eagles club room Monday night.
Busch bargained to put Angelsberg TO
the mat three times within an hour,
but he experienced no great difficulty
in pinning the amateurs shoulders to
the canvas the required number of
times in forty-four minutes. Busch got
the first fall in twenty-five, the sec
ond in nine. and the third in thirteen
plenty of chances to get away, else he
might have won the required number
of falls in third of the time actually
required.
Busch, who is very clever wrestler,
played with the local man during the
first fifteen minutes, and only at times
did he make any real effort to pin and
hold his man down. He won the first
fall with an arm hold, and the second
with scissors hold, after he had picked
Angelsberg up and whirled him round
and round the mat. Busch got the
last fall with a scissors and arm hold.
George Corlies, Greek, and Paul
Wilson, two local amateurs went on the
mat for half-hour's preliminary.
which came TO an end at the end of
fifteen minutes in disagreement. The
Greek refused to wrestle longer be-
cause he claimed he had won two falls

W. E. Crinklaw refereed both
matches, which were witnessed by a
crowd of less than 100.

DEsPoNpENr OWING TO INJURY
ED RUsHLoW COMMITS SUI
eide ~ SEATTLE
WORD COMES IN LETTER
ITO WIFE FROM SISTER
'Rushlew Had Been Away From Gill
man About Year, and Two Months
Ago Was Injured by Fall From
Building Death Recalls Sensation
al Shooting at Gilman.

Word received by Mrs Edward
Rushlow, of Gilman, from a sister-in-
law at Seattle, Wash, tells of the sui
eide of Mr.. Rushlow, by taking car
injury sustained two months ago, is
ascribed as the cause for Rushlow's
act
Mrs. Ruslows letter was the first
inimation she had had that her hus-
band had been injured. The letter SAYS
that while working on the roof of a
building Rushlow slipped and fell to
the ground, receiving fractures to three
ribs, and other injuries. He had been
incapacitated from work so long that
he became Respondent for fear that
he would never be well again Securing
the poison he swallowed it unobserved,
and died in terrible agony.
Death Recalls Shooting
The death of Rushlow recalls a SEP
sational episode in which he figured
prominently during the summer of
1898 when he shot j. D. Van Deventer,
OF Gilman, during some words result
ing from i'll feeling of long standing.
Van Deventer, who afterwards became
marshal of Gilman. was at that time a
drayman, as was also Rushlow. The
men became enemies owing to their
competition in business, and it was
claimed that Rushlow shot Van De-
venter without and provocation. Rush
low was tried and convicted on a
charge of assault with intent to COM
init murded and on Oct. /, 1898, was
sent to the penitentiary for term of
seven years. He was discharged from
prison March 80, 1904
Rushlow was about 40 years old, and
has no children. He was we'll known
at Gilman, where he had lived for
many years.
