Charlton Papers Consolidate.

A deal was closed last week for
the consolidation of the two republi-
can papers at Charlton, the Herald
and the Patriot. The Herald was
sold year ago by S. M. Greene, one
OF the brightest newspaper men in
Iowa. After spending year in Cali
fornia resting up he returned to
Iowa and purchased the Patriot and
then made deal with the Junkin
syndicate which owned the Herald
and the two papers will be consolid-
ated Oct. 1st with Mr. Greene as edi-
tor, using the name Herald-Patriot
F. L. Robinson, who has been edit
ing the Herald for the past year goes
to Colfax, where he will be associat-
ed with his brother, Ham Robinson,
in the publication of the Colfax
Clipper. The consolidation of
these two papers will be good
thing for Charlton. Two papers are
enough for any ordinary county seat
town in Iowa, and the Herald-Pat-
riot and Leader will fill all the re-
quirements at Charlton. We take
something of personal interest in
this consolidation from the fact that
the present editor of The Reporter,
with his father, founded the Herald
as third paper at Charlton twenty
five years ago, and from an infant it
grew to be the leading paper of Luz
cas- county. Mr. E. H. Lewis, who
has been editing the Patriot, will
seek a new location.

Mrs. Margaret Penisten spargur.

Margaret Henry was born in Ohio,
December "a, 1910, died at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Nellie Hos
kins, al Villisca, Iowa, Monday
morning, Sept. 20, 1909, at 4 o'clock
She was united in marriage to Nc
Cormick Penisten in 1858, and to
their union were born four sons and
three daughters. Mr.. Penisten died
in 1877, and was buried at Davis
City, and of their children three are
still living, Thomas and Charles Pen
listen, OF Leon, and Mrs. Allie Hoef-
fer, of Creston. She was again mar
ried in 1879 to William Spargur,
and one daughter, Mrs. Nellie Hos
kins, of Villisca was born to them,
with whom Mrs. Spargur had recent
ly made her home.
Mrs. Spargur was dear old lady,
one who had many friends in this
county. The bereaved children have
the sympathy of a large circle of
friends in their bereavement.
The funeral services were held at
the M. E. church at Davis City on
Tuesday afternoon, conducted by
Rev. Chas. Arthur Coakell, pastor
of the Leon Christian church, inter-
ment being in the Davis City ceme-
terry by the side of her husband.

Black Hand Letters at Lineville.

Within the past few days two of
our prominent and wealthy citizens
have received letters threatening
them with dire calamities unless GER
tain amounts of money were de-
posted at designated places at GER
tain times. The threats in case the
demands were not complied with,
were to burn houses and kidnap
children. In neither case was the
money deposited as demanded and
it is certain that had it been done
the blackhand would not have got
ten away with it. The general i'm
preston seems to be that the letters
was the work of some practical jok-
er, but be that as it may the writer
& the letters is engaged in a dan
gerous BUSINESS, as the law does
not make Determinations in such
cases and detection and capture
means long term in the peniten-
tiary for him. A young man is now
languishing in the county Jail at
Leon under bond of $1,000 for a
like attempt to extort money from a
wealthy citizen of Lamont. Detect
i've science now seldom fails to land
the perpetrators of such crimes and
there is small chance of escaping the
penalty when once they are in the
tolls OF the law.-Lineville Tribune

LIGHT PLANT IMPROVES
New Engine and Boiler and Two Ad-
ditiendI Dyndmos Installed for
New Day Electric Service.

The Leon Electric Co. this week
installed fine new upright engine
and two new dynamos, which will be
used in furnishing the day current
for electric lights and current. The
new machinery is of the best and it
will be a great convenience as we'll
as expense saver to them, and in
case of an accident to the big engine
the new engine can carry at any
time good sized load Independent
OF the other engine and dynamos.
big 100 horse power boiler has
also been purchased and is expected
to arrive daily.
Since taking charge of the light
plant in this city Messrs Johnson 4
Smith have been constantly making
improvements at the plant and now
have one of the finest equipped cleo
trict plants in the state. They are
hustlers and we are pleased to see
them enjoyed a splendid increase in
business, as they are more than
pleased with the patronage which
is being accorded them and it will
continue to increase right along. A
number OF electric motors have al
ready been installed to furnish pow
er for various enterprises, including
The Reporters new linotype and it's
presses and others will follow.
1t is more than likely that within
few months Decatur City will be
enjoying electric lights which will
be furnished from the Leon plant.
The matter is being agitated by De-
catur City citizens and they have
already secured enough patronage
to justify the extension of the line
to that city. A special election will
be held next month at Decatur City
to vote on the question of giving the
Leon company franchise to furnish
electric lights at Decatur City, and
there will be no opposition when the
election is held. Keep your eye on

Mrs. Lizzie Bonnett Eddleman

best teachers in this county. In
1888, she went to Colorado and re-
sided there for several years, then
moved to Kenton, Okla, where she
was married to Edward Eddleman,

Dana Grace in Trouble at Creston.

Dana Grace, former young man
of this city, has gotten into serious
trouble at Creston and is in Jail
at that place in default of bonds in
the sum of $500, he having entered
a plea of not guilty to the charge
filed against him. The following
account of the trouble appeared in
the Creston Daily American.
A young man, about twenty years
of age, was brought to Creston on
No. 179 last evening and will be
given a preliminary hearing in JUS
tice Smiths court on next Tuesday
afternoon to answer to the charge of
grand larceny. The young man in
question has been employed for some
time past at the Clarinda Poultry Co.
in this city, coming here from Chari-
ton, where his parents who are high
ly respectable citizens of that place,
reside. Mrs. M. M. Brannaman an
old friend of the young mans fam
lily, and a former resident of Chari-
ton, met Grace some time ago and
for the sake of the friendship she
bore the family, went to the board
ing house on the south side at which
the young man was staying, and
stood good for his board and lodg-
ing. In return for her kindness
and assistance in his hour of need
the young man showed his appre-
citation by going to the aforesaid
lady's apartments and taking there
from a gold watch and chain, a good
revolver and SIS in money Some
time after the young gentleman's de-
parture. Mrs. Brannaman discovered
her loss and going to Justice Smith S
court, filed charges against Grace for
the crime of larceny. A warrant was
Immediately issued for his arrest,
but the bird had flown Sheriff Ma
son then wired the surrounding
towns to be on the lookout for the
young man and yesterday afternoon
word was received from Osceola
that the Sheriff of Clarke County
had the man in Jail at that place.
Upon receiving instructions to bring
the prisoner to Creston, the sheriff
arrived at this place with him on
No. 179 last evening. He was taken
to Justice Smiths court, where after
being arraigned, and the charges
read to him he plead not guilty and
his bond fixed at $500. Not being
able to furnish the required sum,
he was placed in the county Jail to
await his preliminary hearing which
will take place on next Tuesday af-
ternoon at 1880. On being searched
after his arrest at Osceola, the watch
and chain, the revolver and two dol
lars in money were found on his
person, SO it looks like a pretty clear
case against the young man, and
unless he introduces some unforeseen
evidence in his Own behalf, he will
in all probability be bound over to
the grand jury, in which event, his
case will come up for trial at the
next term of court.

Burlington Surveyors Surveyed last
Week for New Switch.

A force of Burlington surveyors
arrived, Tuesday, and are now en-
gagged in surveying a line for the
Burlington tracks to the site where
the shaft will be sunk.
The new line starts from point
near the shute at the stock pens and
runs southeast to the Rogers tract
on which the shaft will be sunk
The records of the survey will be
sent to the main Offices of the Bur-
lington at Chicago for approval, and
when the blue prints are returned
grading will be commenced. Those
interested figure that grading will
not commence before the first of the
week sometime.
Mr.. A. Biddison of this city will
have charge of the grading and will
employ hands and teams to do the

IT will be rushed to completion.
When this extension of tracks is
completed, material for the shaft
will begin to come in, and work on
the shaft will commence. The shaft,
we understand, will be 17x36 feet
and will go down something like
400 feet. 1t is the intention to work
three shifts of men, hours to the

have it completed by April 26 next,
the time specified in the contract.
AS result business Is booming,
there is an active demand for real

Ing made at greatly advanced
price. Lands adjoining the town
have been bought and opened up in
town lots and every indication is
that the towns population will be
doubled in the next II to 18 months

Decatur County Men in South Da.
kota Train Wreck.

George F. Wolever, the we'll
known real estate dealer of Weldon,
was visitor in Leon Tuesday, and
told us of an experience which he
and five other Decatur county citi-
zens experienced on Tuesday of last
week, when a train on the Milwaukee
road on which they were riding was
wrecked beteen Faulkton and Ros-
co, S. D., the wreck being caused
by broken rail, and resulted in the
death of one man and serious in
jury to ten other passengers. The
Decatur county people on the train
were Geo F. Wolever, Harve
Johnson, NJ M. Showers and Frank
Stephens. The train was running at
high rate of speed when the bro
ken rail was struck and the entire
train was ditched. The coach in
which the Decatur county men were
riding was turned over and dragged
about 100 feet through a shallow
pond of water, and all of them sus-
tained bruises of minor character,
none being seriously injured. Mr..
Wolever was lying in about foot
of water when the coach stopped.
One man who was sitting on the
step of the coach was half buried
in the soft mud and it took two and
half hours to dig him out, but
when rescued it was found that his
only injury aside from slight
bruises was a dislocation of his left
shoulder. The man who was killed
was also riding on the platform of
the car and when the car left the
track he jumped, but jumped the
wrong way and was caught under
every bone in his body was broken.

Clark Family Reunion.

One of those pleasant family re-
unions was held at the home of
David Clark, who lives on the old
Clark homestead, eight miles north
east of Leon, on last Sunday, when
five of the brothers together with
their children and grandchildren,
were gathered together, it being the
first time some of them had met for
over thirty years, and all of the
brothers and sisters were present
except three, John Clark, of Mis-
souri,, Andrew Clark, of Clay Center,
Neb., and Mrs. Sarah Barnes, of
Rosendale, Mo. There were five
brothers present, four of whom,
Riley, Lee, Wilson, and David reside
in this county, and Thomas, who
lives at Haxtun, Colorado, the latter
having come to Omaha with a couple
of cars of cattle and came on back
here for visit, the first since he left
here thirty odd years ago.
The Clark family has an interest
ing history, their grandfather, Will
liam Clark, an Englishman, having
met an Irish lassie, Elizabeth Mills,
on an ocean vessel, of which her
father was captain, she being born
and raised on the ship. After they
were married they came to America
more than hundred years ago, and
made a journey from New York to
Alabama on foot, Mrs. Clark riding
horse and Mr.. Clark walking and
driving goat which was their sole
possession. They carried with them
an old Dutch oven, and last Sunday
when the five brothers had a picture
taken one of them held in his hand
the old Dutch oven and another had
the family bible, which is nearly a
hundred and fifty years old
David Clark, at whose home the
reunion was held, has lived on the
old homestead for over forty-fve
years. There were nearly fifty of
the relations gathered there on Sun
day, a sumptVous dinner being served
and group picture taken, as well
as the one of the five brothers. The
day was thoroughly enjoyed by all,
and will long be remembered with
pleasure by all who were present.
