Mrs. G. E. Allen, wife of Northern
Pacific General Master Mechanic Allen

Missoula hospital at 3 AS O'Clock on
Thursday morning. Death was not un-
expected, as Mrs. Allen had been lineer-
ing in very critical condition for over
five weeks with little or no chance for
recovery. About that time her parents
and all the other members of her family
were summoned from Dickinson to her
bedside as death was expected immedi-
ately. Slight hopes were entertained as
life fingered with her. until death
claimed her and broke the suspense of
the anxious watching and waiting of
her family and friends.
Mrs. Allen has been ill for five
months, 6rst at her home in Livingston
and the last three months in the Mis-
soula hospital, where she died. Peri
tonitis, at first, brought on complica-
tions calling for operations. which she
could not Withstand.
Mr.. Allen was with his wife during
all her illness and her mother. Mrs. j.
G. Saunders of Dickinson, remained the
past few weeks during the critical
stage. Mrs. J. H. Palmer Of Dickinson
went to Missoula again this week. but
did not get there in time to see her sis
ter alive.

ers. was daughter of Capt. and Mrs.
J. G. Saunders of Dickinson. She was
born in Virginia 80 years ago. last
February and came to North Dakota %
years ago with her parents. who settled
on homestead three miles west of
Gladstone. where they resided until
moving to Dickinson IA years ago. She
was graduate of the Mayville Normal
school and successful teacher in this
county for some years. She served as
county superintendent of schools here
for two years, and IL years ago married
C. E. Allen. then engineer with the N.
P. Since that time he has been travel
ing engineer. master mechanic with
headquarters at Glendive and two years
ago was promoted to general master
mechanic of larger field and with
headquarters at Livingston.
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen have four children
living. Eleanor aged 10 years. Theodore
and Theo aged seven years and Clarence
four years old. Besides her husband
and children Mrs. Allen leaves her
parents. Mr.. and Mrs. j. G. Saunders,
three sisters, Mrs. A. j. Osborn, Mrs.
Henry Cooke and Mrs. j. H. Palmer, all
of Dickinson. and a brother. T. G..
Saunders of Fayette.
Mrs. Allen was member of the
Congregational chuch at Livingston, also
member of the Eastern Star order,
having Joined here several years ago.
At the'time of going to press definite
arrangements concerning the funeral
ceremonies were not known here, further
than that service was to be held at
her home in Livingston. probably on
Sunday and the remains taken here for
burial. The Eastern Star order will con-
duct all services here.
The death of Mrs. Allen is deeply re-
gretted in Dickinson, where she was so
we'll known prior to moving west few

bility, but it has always been Mr.
Gary's aim and desire to give the best
satisfaction to as many as possible
and if he has been found wanting it
was not due to any lack Of work or in
territorial slight OF duty OH his part.
In addition to serving in the above
capacities Mr.. Gary has also served as
secretary of the Mankato Commercial
club, and secretary of the Mankatc
Fair association, two honorary posi-
tions that he filled most creditably.
Like those who have served in these
positions before and after Mr.. Gary

duties connected with the same. He
has always been patriotic I'D loyal tc
Mankato, public spirited and liberal in
working for the advancement of tho
city. and whether nominated or not in
the present contest he will always be
found in the harness ready TO work
for the interests of Blue Earth county
and Mankato.
Mr.. Gary, from past business expert
enccs, is well qualified for the position
to which lie aspires, and believes he
can fulfill the duties to the satisfac-
ton of all if given an opportunity
At least that will be his aim and ell
deavor and upon which lie asks the
support of the members of his party
