DEATH OF FRANK CLOSE.
Former Well Known Citizen of Leon
Found Dead at ST. Joe, the Re-
suit of, Exposure.

Frank D. Close, twenty-five years ago
prominent citizen of this city, was
found dead at Lake Contrary, at St. Joe,
last Friday morning, his faithful bird
dog carefully guarding his masters
cold body.
Twenty five years ago Mr.. Close was
a prominent citizen OF Leon, being en-
ployed as salesman in the store of his
uncle, E. J. Close at that time the lead
ing merchant of Leon. He was married
in this city to Miss Ollie Gillham, but
his dissolute habits resulted in her Sc
curing divorce few years after they
we're married. He left Leon and for a
number Of years was travelling sales
man, making his home in ST. Joe where
he again married, but two years ago
his wife secured divorce from him and
since then she has resided in Denver.
Mr.. Close owned property in st. Joe
valued at $15 1000, and has been quite a
sportsman. On last Thursday Mr.. Close
accompanied by his bird dog, went to
Lake Contrary, as he was in the habit
Of doing frequently, to shoot ducks.
For number Of years he has been a
hard drinker and when he reached the
| lake in some manner he upset his boat
and was thrown into the cold water
but was rescued by two ladies who
were at the lake and after being taken
ashore started for his home in the city,
but became chilled and sat down near
an ice house, and here his body cold in
death was found the following morning,
his death having resulted from expos
ure. When his body was found his
faithful bird dog Mike was guarding
his body, and Coroner Byrd who held an
INCEST over the body stated that he had
never seen such devotion. The dog
was sitting beside the dead body of his
master and at fest refused to allow
anyone to come near the remains. Wher
finally the body of Mr.. Close was placed
in wagon the faithful animal moaned
and would have followed the wagon
but was taken by the coroner into his
buggy and taken to the city. An in
quest was held at St. Joe Monday an6
the jury returned a verdict that his
death was caused from exposure. The
deceased is survived by sister, Mrs
Lucy Hull, who resides in Chicago ant
who attended his funeral.

could announce officially that the judges
did not know even what school any of
the contestants represented.
The program opened with selection
by the High School band, and Prof Reed
of Garden Grove made the announce
ment of the program and stated that
the schools had decided to hold the
next contest about one year hence at
Lamont and extended cordial invita-
tion to everyone to attend it.
The first class was the oratorical, tho
first speaker being Leonard DeLong. of
Lamont, his oration being "prentiss
Grafton on tho Death of Lafayette" He
made splendid appearance and his
effort was a worthy one, he being
awarded second place by the judges.
He was i, flowed by Ralph McGinnis,
Icons representative in this class, his
subject being Supposed Speech of
John Adams and right we'll did he de-
liver if, showing great ability as an
orator, and being entirely at ease on
the stage. The judges had no difficulty
in deciding that he was entitled to first
prize in his class. Ralph is d bright
young man with promising future
ahead of him, for he has stown oratical
ability not usually found in one so

young. The third number in the orator.
ical class was by Earnest Kicks, Of
Davis City, his subject being "Our
Martyr President and he also made a
splendid showing the marking for Sec
ond place being very close between
him and the winner.
A horn quartet composed of Prof.
Voelker, Carroll and Floyd John and
Earl Axes rendered "Sweet and Low"
and the big audience was SO we'll pleased
that they gave them a hearty encore.
In the dramatic class there were
three contestants, one boy and two
girls and the girls were the winners.
The first number was "The Black Horse
and Its Rider" by Guy Hubbell, of
Grand River, who delivered it in a
highly creditable manner and was ac-
corded hearty applause, as he showed
splendid ability. He was followed by
Miss Helen Kerrins, of Davis City, with
"The Sioux Chiefs Daughter and so
we'll did she acquit herself that she
was awarded second place, thus secur-
ing one of the gold medals. The last
number in the class "a Few Bars in
the Key of G" by Miss Gretchen Potts
of Garden Grove, was one of the treats
of the evenings program. Her effort
showed careful training together with
natural ability and she was awarded
the first prize in this class.

was also entered but was prevented
from contes1ing on account of their
schools being closed on account Of the
prevalence of smallpox at Van Vert.
The contestants were divided into
three classes, oratorical, dramatic and
humorous, and Leon came out with fly
ing h3nors, her two contestants, Miss
Hazel Moore winning first in the humor-
GUS class and MIR. Ralp' McGinnis win
ming first in the oratorical class. Six
gold medals were awarded, two in each
class and Leon carried off two of the
three first prize medals.

A pleasant Surprise.

John Sell and family having recently
moved to Leon number of Miss Lau as
schoolmates planned pleasant sur
prise on her last Wednesday evening.
Blanche Marshall had invited her to
her home to spend the evening, but
shortly after arriving there Miss Laura
received word to return home as she
had company. On returning home she
found the guests seated in the parlor
waiting for her. The evening was spent
in music and games. Refreshments we're
served consisting of popcorn, candy and
apples which were brought by the
guests. They all departed at late
hour wishing Miss Laura many more
such happy occasions.
Those present were Misses Blanche
Brann, Ethyl Gatchell, Eunice Long,
Vera Cox, Elva Evans, Beulah Tharp
Hazel Cation, Blanche Marshall and
Nina Still.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1909-03-25


Elizabeth Boyd and Olive Gwinn and
Profs. Voelker and Senseny, with Miss
Freda Teale at the piano sang "The
Miller's Wooing", and t ey won hearty
appreciation from the big audience.
In the humorous class there were
four contestants, the first being Miss
Marian jennings, of Garden Grove, the
youngest of all the contestants, her
selection being Cupid and Dickey" and
right well did she handle it, her manner
was followed by Miss Vera Mckee, of
Boys" and she kept the audience in
mighty good humor with her quaint
dialect and in the marking she just
missed winning a prize. The thitd
number was Leon's contestant, Miss
Hazel Moore, with "The Marriage of
Susan Clegg' and when she finished it
was easy to be seen that she would be
the winner of the first prize in her
class and this was the decision of the
judges. Miss Hazel has an original and
peculiar style OF speaking we'll adapted
for humor and on this occasion she was
at her best. The last number of tho
class was "The Judges Chernbs' by
Miss Olive Thomas, of Lamont, who was
awarded second prize by the judges,
and the decision gave entire satisfaction.
All of the contestants in this class did
remarkably well and the markings on
all of them were very close.
The High school band played "Hearts
of Gold" difficult overture which they
handled in splendid style, and then the
decision of the judges was read, and the
successful contestants appeared on the
stage and received the gold medals
which they had won.
The entire program was splendid
one and the great audience enjoSe ed it
throughout. The contest was the re-
suit of the efforts of Prof. Voelker, of
Leon, and Reed, Of Garden Grove, who
took the matter up few weeks ago and
they were heartily assisted by the
other High Schools in the county. 1t
was the first time county contest was
ever held in Decatur county and the
training which the contestants received
is valuable one to them. 1t is safe to
say that the County High School Con-
test each year hereafter will be big
event and next year there will be many
strive to win a place in the list of con-
testants.
All of the schools having contestants
sent big delegations to Leon, wearing
their class colors and before the pro-
gram commenced the opera house rang
with the class cries of the various
schools, but at the request of the judges
they refrained from any class demon
strations during the program.
Leon has special cause to feel proud
as her two contestants were each first
prize winners. The contestants we're
drilled by Mrs. Marion Wasson and that
she thoroughly understands this work is
shown in the splendid results of the
contest by her pupils.
Many favorable comments were ssassl
from the visitors on the splendid music
furnished by the Leon High School band.
1t is quite task to take a lot of school
boys and make musicians out of them,
but the boys under the leadership of
Prof. Voeiker have taken great interest
in their band and they are making
splendid progress with their musical
studies,
