DROPPED DEAD LAST SATURDAY
Miss Marie Tunmann OF Melville Ex=
pires Without ANY Warning.

The friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
| Tunmann of Melville township were
greatly shocked on Saturday to hear
that their daughter, Miss Marie Tun-
man had dropped dead when alone and
without q moments warning Miss
| Tunman was busy taking up and plant
ing flower roots in the cellar so as to
preserve them against the freeze of
winter. Shortly after one o'clock she
was missed by her mother and going to
the cellar she found her daughter in
the grip of death where she had been
stricken down but short time before.
She had finished her planting and was
about to ascend the stairway when she
was overtaken by the grim messenger
who is always lurking around for a
victim. AS the health of the deceased
had always been very good, the surprise
| and grief at her sudden demise was so
much the greater We understand the
| physician and undertaken are of the
opinion that her death was caused by
the rupture of blood vessel in the
brain.
Miss Marie A. Tunmann was born at
Victor, Iowa, August 2, 1877, and died
in Audubon County, Iowa, November
II, 1910, aged 80 years, 3 months and 10
days. She has been of a retiring dispo-
sition and has always lived at home
sharing the labors and the pleasures
under the parental roof. She leaves her
parents, one sister who is the wife of
Fred Sunberg, and three brothers who
are still at home.
Short services were held at the home
at 1920 Tuesday morning by Rev. A.
b. Miller pastor of the Presbyterian
Church of Audubon and he also preach
ed a funeral discourse at that church
at one o'clock in the afternoon when
the body was laid to rest in Maple
Grove Cemetery.

Farm And Orchard Preparing.

Mr.. Hiram Mendenhall has had a
bunch of men with teams and nipple.
ments engaged since Monday afternoon
breaking land and putting it in condi-
ton for early spring planting the 80-acre
field which he and Mr.. John Weighton
of Audubon, Iowa, own and which is
located on block ia, just outside the
southeastern limits of the TOWNSHIP.
Three disc plows with three mules at
tached to each, followed by disc har-
row are being used in preparing the
land for early spring planting. Mr..
Mendenhall informs the editor that
most of the land will be planted to cot
ton this spring, though the entire tract
is primarily intended for an orchard
and vineyard, the fruit trees and vines
of which will be set out in the early
spring and will consist of 900 Satsuma
oranges, 1000 grape vines of different
varieties, besides a large number of
Japanese persimmon and grape fruit.
The plants and vines for this extensive
orchard are to come principally from
the celebrated Algo fruit farm near
Houston, and were selected in person
some time ago by Mr.. Mendenhalf, who
is known to bean expert fruit growers
Monte Christie Hustler.

WORKING OF WELLS
ALL In GOOD ORDER
Each One Affording An Abundance
OF Pure Crystal Water For The
Benefit of The Community.

Through F. G. Warnock, who now
has charge of the several well PROPOSE
tons of the Melado Land Company, we
learn that each plant is in fairly good
working order and an abundance of
water for all practical purposes is afford
ed by all of the wells.
The old well just north of town, and
which is the only source of supply for
Monte Christo's splendid waterworks
system, besides furnishing stock water
for the entire community, continues as
it has for many years, to give forth an
inexhaustible quantity of the purest
crystal water.
The West Well, which was brought
in a few months ago, continues to be a
good producer, and when an air com
presser and little more machinery is
added to the plant which will be done
very shortly, it, too, will afford an ample
abundance of acqui.
The East Well, the latest to be
brought in, has been under pump for a
number of days, and the great volume
of water that is being thrown from it is
simply astonishing. This is claimed to
be, if possible, the best producer on the
proposition.
The Layne Il Bowler we'll, on the
North Boulevard, which was completed
several weeks ago, is claimed to be the
largest water supplier in this territory,
and its volume of splendid water is con-
stantly being increased the more it is
pumped.
The greatest features of these several
wells is that their water is as pure and
health giving as can be found anywhere
and suitable for all domestic purposes
as well as irrigating uses.
Oh you, Monte!

1.-The hat you bought last spring will do,
Yes Hubby, know its strange;
But there's one thing we must surely nave
A brand new kitchen range.
It must be of the unbreakable kind
Her Jingle continued and ran,
The kind they MAKE in old South Bend
And sold by the Malleable man"
Right here she woke with start and
explained that the day before she had
attended the exhibit at the store OF
w. S. Foley, and had not been able
to think of anything else since. In
reply to her Hubby, who stated that
perhaps she had eaten too many of
their biscuits and drank too much of
their coffee; mo, their biscuits were
so light and their coffee so delicious,
it could not possibly be that"
Hubby proved himself to be all
right when he ordered one of the Gel
ebrated Malleables sent up to. his
home today. From what we have
seen and known of it, he will never
have cause for regret. 1t is certainly
a wonder. The exhibit will continue
all next week. We forgot to say
that the Malleable man had a
little surprise in store for the wife of
our esteemed citizen. With the range
was delivered beautiful set of semi
porcelain ware free. We understand
they are giving a set away, or some
thing equally valuable, with every
purchase made during this exhibit.
