Andrew Uren Dead.

A message received mere last Thurs
day morning announced the death of
Andrew Uren at Newberry where he
was i'm the Northern Hospital mt that
place Mr. Uren's health had been
gradually failing since his return TO
the hospital last fall and his death was
not entirely unexpected.
Mr.. Uren was n years of age at the
time of his death. He was born in
Wellbusy, Cornwall, England and came
70 America in 1853 settling first in the
copper country. He came to the Me-
nominee range in the early days of this
section and settled in this city where
he engaged in the mercantile business
and was one of our prominent meat
dealers until the panic OF 1893 caught
MIN and swept away much of the pro.
perty he mad acquired during the pre-
vious years Of hard work.
Mr. Uren never fully recovered from
that blow. either financially or physi
cally. He retired from business and
for fifteen years confined his attention
to farming. His health gradually
failed and his mind gave away nnder
the stress of the severe reaction he had
suffered. He is survived by wife
and eight children. Mrs Uren. and
daughter Cora and Mr., Chas Uren re 3

Chas. Uren arrived here yesterday

CHARLES NeUGeBeAuR SET UPON BY
TWO MEN MONDAY
FELLOWS WERE BOLD ABOUT IT
Attacked Their Victim in Broad Daylight
in Front Of the Maple Grove School,
Got Away Easily.

Charles Neugebeaur. manager OF the
FINNISH a. Swedish Co-Operative-store
was assaulted by two men In front OF
the Maple Grove school last Monday
afternoon about 3 5:3O and.beaten into
insensibility. Although -the-- attack
was made In broad daylight and was
witnessed by a number of people, the
two men made their escape easily.
MIR. Neugebeaur was rendered uncon-
scious by the first blow.struck and, the
attack coming 30 unawares, he was un-
able TO describe his assailants.
Mr.. Neugebeaur was on his way
home from the .store for supper. He
was In hurry as ne wished TO get
back to.relieve the clerks in the store
at six O'Clock and didn't pay any at
tention 10 the other persons on the
street. AS he neared the Maple Grove
school he noticed two men on the street
but paid no attention to them. AS he
was passing them one of the struck
him vicious blow telling him to the
grouno unconscious. Mrs. Alfred
Haley happened to be looking out of
her window at the time and saw the
assault. She ran out 10 call for assis-
tance and when she got outside she saw
the fellow who struck the blow kneel-
ing on Mr. Neugebeaur' chest pound
ing him numerically.
Her screams for assistance evidently
frightened the fellows as they left
their victim ana started oil In the dir
ection OF the Bristol mine.
Another fellow coming along. down
the street came 10 Mr. Neuge-
beaur's assistance and picked him up.
He was in a dazed condition and it
was some moments before he realized
what had happened TO him.
While he suffered no severe wounds
yet several bad b-uises appeared on his
face and he was badly shaken up.
When seen few hours afterwards at
the store his face presented badly
battered appearance.

When the question Of election OF

ibility of eleoting any All present
were anxious to prolong the life OF the
organization but were unanimous In
the. view that unless larger atten.
dance was had the continuation Of the
association was folly
A plan was finally suggested whereby
a last attempt could be made TO renew
interest In the organization and the
old officers were reelected with the
understanding that new executive
committee be appointed and efforts be
made TO canvass the editors and get
their views on the advisibiity OF con
tinuing the organization.
