DEATH SUMMONS
AN OF 7 UNIV Girl
MISS MAuDE BRADY PASSED
AWAY AT HER HOME YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON

The visitation of the grim reaper,
while assured to all mankind, never
fails to leave in its wake great sor-
row, and this was particularly true in
it's visit to the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Patrick Brady 346 North Marion
street, Sunday, when a daughter was
summoned. Death came about p. M,
after lingering illness, and Elizabeth
Madeline Brady, whose many friends
knew her as Maude, took final fare
we'll of her parents, sister and brother
as she winged her flight to the spirit
world.
Her death is mourned by a large
number of friends, who join in the sor-
row of the family at the taking away
of this much beloved young woman,
whose short life terminated at the age
of 20 years. While Miss Brady was an
Ottumwa girl and spent most of her
life in this city, for number OF years
past she has made Chicago her home.
She finished her schooling in the class
of 1900 at the Ottumwa high school,
and in January, 1901, entered Mercy
hospital in Chicago to begin her
studies for the profession Of trained
nurse. In June, 1904, she graduated
from Mercy hospital and subsequently
spent her time as private nurse in
Chicago until the placing of staff of
visiting nurses in the schools of Chi
cago. She was one Of the first forty
nurses selected for this work, and
had three public and three Catholic
schools to visit each day. She also
called at the homes of the pupils.
Returning to Ottumwa last June,
she was take nto the hospital, where
she was taken to the hospital, where
covering for time she again assumed
her duties in Chicago until failing
health made her return home impera-
tive Her death was not unexpected,
as her condition has gradually be-
come worse until the end came. Her
parents Mr.. and Mrs. Patrick Brady,
one sister, Miss Glare, and a brother,
John T. Brady, survive her. The fu-
neral will be from st. Mary's church,
with requiem high mass, tomorrow
morning at 9 o'clock. Interment in
Calvary cemetery.

YOUNG MAN is
KILLED BY CAR

Run over by cinder car at the
Burlington roundhouse this morning
about 1910 o'clock, Fred Wells Jr., re-
siding on Walnut avenue, was fatally
injured and died in the hospital about
noon He is survived by his wife and
two children, Margaret and Frederick;
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Wells,
one brother and three sisters. He
was q years of age.
The work at which Mr.. Wells was
engaged when the accident occurred
was loading cinders and ashes taken
from the engine room at the round
house to a car that stood on track
nearby The track is inclined, and it
| is the custom when the cinder car has
been filled, to remove the blocking TO
permit it to run to another part of the
yards, where it is cared for by an
other department. Mr.. Wells had I'M
loaded the ashes from the conveyor
used in taking them from the engine
room, and had just loaded the cinde1
car, when it is thought that he kicked
out the blocking, which started the
car down the incline. After kicking
out the blocking, he slipped on Gin
der and fell in the way of the moving
car, which mangled his body from
his waist downward. He was taken t
the hospital about 1890 and when TAX
en- to the operating room it was found
that nothing could be done to save his
life, his injuries being such as to rem
der it impossible to prolong life. Deatl
came about IL o'clock, noon.
The funeral arrangements have no
yet been made.

buys Biz Tract Of timber,

BY deal closed on Tuesday the
Edward Hines Lumber Company,
largely interested in the Virginia 4
Rainy Lake Company, became the
owners of the entire holdings and
interests of the st. Croix Lumber
Company, including their mill at
Winton, the consideration being
given at approximately $2,5o0,Ooo.
The contamination of the deal
marks the closing out of one of the
biggest northern Minnesota inter-
ests, it being announced that the
Torenus family, largely interested
in the st. Croix company, will re-
tire from the lumber business.
The tract of timber, located to the
north of the Vermilion renge, con-
tains approximately 30oy000,O0 feet
of high grade timber.
It is given out that the mill at
Winton will continue in operation,
but it is not unlikely much of the
new purchase will eventually find
its way to the Virginia mills of the
Virginia & Rainy Lake Company,
railroad connections with the dis
trict being now we'll under way.

Died at St. Mays Hospital, Duluth.

News of the death at St. Mary's
Hospital, Saturday, of Mrs. L. l..
Fiandt, of this city, was received
with profound regret by the many
friends of the deceased who, while
realizing tor some weeks past that
her recovery was impossible had
hoped against hope for better
ment in her condition.
The deceased was born in Forest,
Canada, on September u, 1865, be-
ing 45 years of age at the time of
death. On December 16, 1884, she
was united in marriage to her
mourning husband at Reed City,
Michigan. From this union two
children were born, Fora and Cello,
both of whom with the bereaved
husband live to mourn the loss of
loving wife and mother.
Funeral ceremonies were conduct
ed from the First NJ. E. Church in
this city Monday, interment being
made in Greenwood cemetery, and
the large number of those who
loved her living and who mourn
her dead in attendance at the last
sad rites bore mute attest of the
esteem in which she was held by
all.

fairmouats Feared the norton,.

Arrangements were once com.
pleted for Thanksgiving game
between the Fairmounts of Duluth
and the Nortons of this city at the
Oliver Park, but later advices we're
that the Fairmounts could not
come. 1t was then agreed for the
Nortons to 60 to Duluth, but later
advices were that under no circum-
stances could game be had.
The Nortons were willing to try
conclusions with the Fairmounts
for the championship of the north
west, but it is evident the Duluth
boys were fearful of defeat and con-
sidered it better policy to hang on
to their assumed supremacy by
thread rather than lose in the open.
The Nortons now lay claim, with
good grace, to the championship;
and if any feel like disputing the
title their chance is still good to
prove their rights if any they have.
