MR. CHADBOURN A PIONfER.
The Late R. G. Chadbourn Severely Tried
by Experiences in Minnesota.

Last week this paper had only a
brief reference to the death OF r.
G. Chadhourn, which occurred the
evening before The Gazette went to
press. AS an old and respected citi-
zen, some of the facts Of Mr.. Chad
bourn's life history will be Of inter-
est to our readers.
Rufus G. Chadbourn was born in
Waterville. Maine. in 1929. where he
lived, attended school and learned
the carpenters trade, coming west
to a farm near Ripon. Wis.,, in 1854,
where he resided until the civil war
broke out. when he enlisted in Co.
Il. 10th Wis. infantry, as stated last
week, remaining practically three
years in the service.
Returning to civil pursuits. Mr..
Chadbourn worked as a machinist
at Beloit for a time, and Aug. 26th,
1868. married Miss Rachel Sebring.
Soon after he came to Dodge county,
in this state, and in 1872 removed
to Murray county, his claim being
near Walnut Grove. where he had
homestead and where he endured
the grasshopper troubles for a series
of seasons. He removed to Walnut
Grove during the seventies, and
while there was the witness and
sufferer in a tragic accident the
explosion of gasoline in the family
kitchen which caused the death of
the first Mrs. Chadbourn and in
which Mr.. Chadbourn was also
burned, as we remember the account
of the accident given at the time in
1885. Mr.. Chadbourn removed to
this city in 1897 with his son and
daughter, ORA. G. Chadbourn of
this city and Mrs. Grace Martin of
Crosby, N. D., both of whom sur
vive him. In 1883 Mr.. Chadbourn
was again united in marriage, his
bride being Mrs. Frances nj. Hall,
who survives him.
Mr.. Chadbourn leaves behind him
a record of kindly, upright life,
and his friends who are many will
miss him. He was a Mason of many
years standing, charter member
of the Walnut Grove lodge and Wor-
shipful Master Of that lodge for sew
eral terms. He was also a member
of the G. A. R. ana for many years
consistent member of the M. E.
church in this city, from which he
was conveyed to the cemetery, the
pastor preaching the sermon and his
Masonic brethren conducting the
services, which were also attended
by delegation from John s. Marsh

Reception to Rev. and Mrs. Shuman.

The reception accorded to the new
pastor and his wife at the M. E..
church last Friday evening, was a
cordial one wholly, with minimum
of frills or formality. There was a
good sized and congenial company,
good music and several crisp and
friendly short addresses. Messrs.
Gold. Henderson and Ehrstein spoke
for the congregation, the mems club
and the neighbor churches, respect
lively.
w. H. Gold spoke of the church
and its social life in it's relation to
the pastor, as his force in the COM
munity.
A. P. Henderson spoke of the
preacher, his unique position and
the great possibilities of his work in
the experience and life of the church
and community.
Rev. EhrsteIn briefly greeted and
welcomed Pastor and Mrs. Shuman
to the religious and church life of
the community.
Pastor Shuman feelingly respond
ed, telling of his obedience to the
Bishops marching orders. his cor
dial reception here by the church
and people. He outlined briefly his
policy as a leader, declaring that he
had no hobby, was no crank. and
that he aimed always for the deeply
spiritual rather than the distinctly
denominational in his ministry,

StOckyards Firm of Banker & Den
nistoun finish First Year in
New Quarters.
Year of Booming Prices for Meat
Products Helps Giving Enter
prise Good Start.

One Of the most important grow
ing industries of this vicinity is that
of meeting the demand for cattle.
hogs and sheep. for the packing
house meat supply on the one hand
and for feeders to be fattened for
market on the other. The two lead
ing firms of this city are keen COM
petitors both with each other and
neighboring buyers, and with the
demand exceeding the supply most
of the time. good prices and close
margins for the dealers result.
A year ago the firm of Banker &
Dennistoun, after securing tract
of land along the Northwestern right
of way. constructed two stock barns
26x60, with concrete easements and
up-to-date accessories for feeding
and handling stock. These include
big windmill and watertower and
pipe lines ample for half an acre or
so of substantial stock pens connect
ed by gates, with scale house and
Office, etc.
This year there have been added a
200-ton silo, recently filled to the
top, an up-to-date hay baling outfit
which is now keeping a crew busy
baling hay for convenient handling
and hauling to the yards, as we'll as
for shipment. The firm has not yet
engaged in shipping hay, but last
week baled a number of carloads for
shipment to Washington county
which seems good deal like carrying
Goals to Newcastle. A horse barn is
under way for future operations in
horses, the firm including horses in
the sphere of their activities. Last
but not least is the new residence
being made ready for A. NJ. Dennis
toun, in position commanding a
view of the yard entrance, as well as
a pretty prospect of city and country
in various directions.
Some items of practical detail may
be of interest. During the past year
the firms monthly bank transactions
varied from $4,000 to $4,000 per
month. This did not include their
local meat market business. Four
teen employees are now on their pay
rolls. They now have in their yards
1900 sheep, twenty yearling high
grade Herefords as model beef ami
mails which they are laboring to have
their farmer patrons to copy, be-
sides pure bred Tamworth swine and
a good start in the line of fancy
poultry. The firm controls 200 acres
adjacent to their stock pens and own
a section or more near the city on
which to raise grain and fodder for
their animals.

AS intimated last week, VIM. Carl
Hockett, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Alonzo
Hockett, lived only until Wednesday
morning. The funeral was held
from the Christian church last Sat
urday morning, Rev. C. F. Martin
conducting the service. The older
sisters of the lad, Mrs. Harry Wolf
and Miss Lulu Hockett, came down
from Kenmare, N. D., to comfort
their parents and attend the service.
Carl was only seventeen years old,
and being the only son. his sudden
loss is particularly sad.

Is Found in Unconscious State Last
Saturday Night and Dies the
Following Night.
POSt-MOrtcm Shows Death Followed
Injuries of Head and verg.
MaIIct Accused.

Death came to Ira Pratt on last
Sunday evening, under circumstances
which strongly point to violence as
the cause of death. While conflict
ing stories are told as to the nature
of his injuries and the way in which
they were received, the undisputed
fact remains that one Verg. Mallet.
a bart tender in the saloon at North
Redwood, was placed under arrest
by Sheriff Schueller in the early
hours Of yesterday morning, charged
with an assault upon Ira Pratt,
the complaint having been ruade by
Frank Pratt, brother of the dead
man, before Judge Laudon, who
was aroused from his slumbers soon
after midnight. Frank Pratt told
the writer Monday morning that his
brother came here with his wife and
child about three months ago, and
since that time they had been living
in the same house with Franks FAM
lily, Ike, as he is called, working
steadily and soberly with his broth
er in their business of cutting and
hauling hay and other team work.
Saturday night Frank met his
brother on the streets about 8 o'clock
and they talked about going home
together as soon as Frank attended
to some business matters, while Ike
went to barber shop. Prank did
not see his brother after this until
Mr.. Farlee brought him home in a
semi-conscious state somewhere
about midnight. Ike having been
brought to Farlee's livery stable at
that time by couple of young men
who drove back from North Red
wood in buggy. Their story was
that Ike had been in the saloon in
North Redwood, had quarreled with
the bar tender, Mallet, and that the
latter had struck Ike with billy in
putting him out of the saloon, and
that they had picked Ike up uncon-
scious and brought him back to
Redwood Falls to have him cared
for.
Mr.. Farlee took the unconscious
man home, and he fingered through
the next day without being able to
tell his family what had happened
to him. His brothers say that even
one glass of liquor was enough to
make Ike wild and crazy and it can
not be doubted that his death was

a American singer, who has spent the
years in which his voice and art have been
maturing in Europe. He seems to have
found favorable artistic atmosphere, and
his voice. of fine natural quality, has been
evenly developed. end If he did not have il

CAST OF THE OLD TOWN
DALY'S THEATRE.
The King of Cadonia. -

The King of Cadonia" produced last
night at Days Theatre, was described on
the programme an English musical
comedy. and IL had all the earmarks of its
class. In iDnocuousness, however 1t made
a mark OF Its own. Credit for this latest
sample of the familiar conglomerate i'm
ported without hindrance the part of
immigration laws tariff duties is given
TO hVe collaboratorS II was a wise dis
tribution of responsibility for a product
which rose in no particular above meGi-
ocrity. Frederick Lcnsdale wrote the
book, the lyric was contributed by Adrian
Ross and NJ. z. Rourke. the music by
Sidney Jones and jerome d. Kern. and
what they overlooked was supplied by Will
lam Norris in the way of specialties.
So far as the piece had a plot it was
based on the idea which was used in THE
Royal Family'-a king masking as a peas
ant in order to win the love of the princess
whom he has never seen, but to whom he
is hetrothed for state reasons. The plot
didn't figure very much, however, in the
stage proceedings. 1t was handled in a.
commonplace and unoriginal manner, and
efforts to make the book plausible on the
part of such competent actors as Mr..
Norris. Mr.. Don, Mr.. Danforth and Bessie
Tannehill were uphill work. Mr.. Norris
struggled with a leaden part, and Miss
Clark's was far too sugar -watery TO be
enlivening- The only performer who
seemed at home Clara Palmer, who
danced, sung and acted herself into favor
Her song, Come Along. Pretty Girl" was
the bright spot of the evening. When will
English musical comedy cease to be un-
natural. vacuous and depressing?
