OBITUARY OF G A MCQUEEN
G. A. McCuen was born in Elders
vile, Penn., February 20, 1922. When
ten years old he moved with his par
ents to Ohio, where in 1919 he married
Sarah j. Snodgrass. Three children,
two daughters and a son, were born of
this union; of these one, a daughter, is
deceased. In 1852 Mr.. McCuen moved
to Iowa and the following year buried
his wife. September rs, 1856, he war
married to Margaret Shines. To them
were born six sons andthree daughters,
of whom five sons and two daughters
survive him, with their mother, to
mourn their mutual loss. In 1876 Mr..
| McCuen located in Lincoln township,
Audubon county, where he resided IN
til 1900, when, with his wife, he moved
to Avoca to live with their daughter,
Mrs. Pickrell. In 1903 they moved to
Leeds, a suburbo of Sioux City, residing
there for two years, when failing
health brought them back to their
daughters home in Avoca. March /,
1909, both families moved to Naper,
Neb., where his death occurred June 2,
| after a brief illness, The remains
were brought to Manning for burial in
| the family lot in the Manning cemetery.
| The funeral services were held in the
M. e. church at 4 pm. Friday, June 4,
| Rev. Harvey preaching the sermon
from Psalm 90:l2.
Brother McCuen was converted in
early manhood and united with the M.
E. church, of which he continued a
member until locating in Audubon
county, when there being no M. E.
church near, he joined the United
| Brethren church. Ga moving to Leeds
he transferred his membership to the
NJ. K. church at that place. where his
name continued until death. For over
sixty years he lead a Christian life,
helping in all church work to the limit
of his time and strength, being es-
pecially interested in the singing.
Being endowed by nature with a melod-
ious voice, he led in singing the songs
of Zion for many years. Only a few
days before his death he made a selec-
ton of hymns to be sung at his funeral,
and one of his last requests was for
music.
Owing to age and infirmities Mrs.
McCuen vas unable to accompany the
remains, but a number of the children
were present and followed the body to
its last resting place.
blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord, for they rest from their labors
and their works do follow them. ~

CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA
The Place to Secure a Pleasant Home
or Make q Good Investment

Owing to the high price OF land in
Iowa there are many people who can
not hope to buy enough for a home
and haven't money enough to make a
profitable investment. In order to get
cheaper land some.have goneto Cana
da and others to Texas. There are
others still who are anxious 10 buy
but they are not willing to go so far
away from home. To such people we
present a fine opportunity in the cen
trial part OF North Dakota to secure
good land at SIS to $40 an acre, not
far from the railroad In a~fairly devel-
oped section OF that state. They are
located within GO miles of the Capital
City in

FAST BOUTS ON
FRIDAYS CARD
MEMSlC AND PICAT0 WILL
FIGHT MAIN EVENT
OTHER GOOD YOUNGSTERS WILL
OPEN ENTERTAINMENT
Even Money is Figuring Of Fans on
Ten-Round Bout and Both Men
Promise Hard 5attIe-Two
New sIuggers Appear

Manager ~McCarey has provided
plenty of amusement for the fight fans
for next Friday evening, for besides the
battle between George Memsic and
Frank Picato the preliminaries are OF
the best quality and there will not be
a slow moment from the initial bout to
the wind-up.
Memsic and Picato have been anx-
ious to get at each other again, as the
last contest between the two ended
unsatisfactory, neither having the
better of the argument, which, how
ever was one of the fiercest battles OF
the year. Picato was knocked down in
the first round and 1t looked at that
moment as though the end had come,
but by stalling through this and an
other session Picato came back, ana
thereafter held his own, Memsic being
UNEQUAL to the task of putting the
swarthy lad away with his favorite
punch.
BY this lesson Picato has profited
much, and he will be careful not to
run into any more of those haymakers,
aside from which he is capable OF tax
ing care of himself in any sort or
going. Picato has come back from his
shape than ever before, and his sub
sequent training has shown that he
will be a much improved boxer when
he enters the ring Friday evening.
Fans are slow at doping the outcome
of the meeting Picato is the favorite
with many of the patrons of the Maud
game, but the true and tried fan
seems to hook up with Memsic, as he is
considered to have had more real ex-
perience and is able to see all of the
best points of the game, especially II
he handles himself as he did in his go
with, Wolgast. The betting so far is at
evens, though one or the other will go
to the fore before the night of the
fight.
Three of the best preliminaries which
the matchmaker has arranged of late
are down on the same bill. Curley
O'Connell has made such hit in his
two appearances at Maud that the
fans have been waiting to have him go
on again, and Kid Cleveland will be
placed opposite him once more. O'Con-
nell has begun training earnestly for
this fight, for he is anxious to win over
the knockout course in order to get
some other boy of his weight who will
give him chance to step higher.
Herb White will show. for the first
time before a Los Angeles crowd. His
appearances in the suburbs have shown
him to be a capable lad with the mitts
and he will be worthy opponent for
Eddie Robinson's Jap Oyama. Robin
son is completely wrapped up in his
protege and he has delayed his trip
east SO the local fans could see the Jap
in action again after his reputed i'm
provement in the science OF self-de-
Tense.
Joe Reilly and Al Rogers are the
third pair to meet in the ring prelimi-
nary to the Memsic-Picato battle. The
mere mention that this duo win fight
is enough to guarantee that there will
be a great mix-up, for both of the boys
are game and neither knows what it is
to back up. Reilly will make his first
appearance for over a year in this
contest.

Race In California Amateur Ranks Be-

tests Produce Exciting
Situation

The Woodill-H ulse baseball team,
former leaders of the California Sum-
mer league, were dropped one notch
in the percentage column yesterday
afternoon on the San Bernardino dia-
mond by the Santa FEES, who were the
tailenders in this organization. The
score was to 2, but at that the
leaders were compelled to donate to
the treasury of the league the sum of
SO as a fine imposed by Umpire Butler
on Centerfield Owens for unsportsman-
like conduct on the diamond during the
game. Hester, who went in the box for
the Santa FEES, struck out eight Of his
opponents, while Charley Miller, for
the losers, famed four.
Hester was touched up for six bingles
and nine were credited to Miller. Both
teams played a fine fielding game.
Chesire, for the losers, at the initial
sack made double, also Dye and Cliff
ton. Leahy and Waters caught an ex-
cellent game and showed great i'm
provement over previous efforts. The
fans say that the hoodoo is broken and
that the Gate city aggregation will
show the other teams in the league

Manager Thomas complains that the
umpire did not give him square deal
and that if he had any competent UNI
pire he would have won the game.
Pullman handled the indicator more
like an amateur than a professional, as
he claims to be-" said Thomas last
night, "and lost not an opportunity to
show that 1t was his intention to have
the Santa Fe team win whether fairly
or otherwise"

SOUTHERN STATE LEAGUE

The Pico Heights and Huntington
Parks played an uninteresting game
yesterday afternoon at Huntington
park, which was featured by the sem
sational sliding at the home plate by
Catcher Edward Price for the losers.
The score was to 2. The hitting of
Boyer for the winners, who got three
singles out of three times at the bat,
was a sensation. The grounds were in
poor condition, which made good
fielding impossible, allowing several
drives to go for hits which would have
been easy outs on a first-class dia-
mond. Pico Heights played with a
patched-up nine and at that gave the
Huntington Park team close run at
several stages of the game. Houck,
pitcher for the Huntington Park boys,
famed eleven Lamb, for the losers,
struck out seven.
The Pico Heights executed two dou-
bic plays Huntington Park did their
heavy stick work in the fifth inning,
making five runs and four hits.
Cooney, who plays first base for the
Pico Heights team and is member of
the u. S. c. varsity club, made one
hit out of four times at bat. Cooney
is good in making hits, but needs a
speed ball now and then in running
them out to the various bags. Score:

RAcYcLEs WALK AWAY

The Racycles baseball team, with
Tom Clark in the box, took an awful
fall out of the Wellington baseball
team yesterday afternoon on the Yer
non diamond by the shutout route be-
ing 10 to 0. The inability of the club
to locate the plate made the score so
one-sided. Club who twirled for the
losers, passed ten men to the initial
sack.
Bell did the heavy sticking for the
winners, making two triples out of four
times up. Davidson had his eagle eye
on the Spaulding and sent the sphere
out for two singles and a double out
of five times at bat.
Moreland, the winners new back
stop, caught brilliant game and ac-
cepted nine chances in big league style.
Tom Clark, who twirled for the Win
ners, has q record of POI strike-outs
out of thirty-two games.
