COons Like Sumter.

Several days ago, Mr.. Stanley who
ives out on Purdy street, was disturb
cd by strange noises in the attic of
his house, which he at first attributed
to rats, but later, as the scratching
ana growing went on, he decided that
tie animals were larger than rat. and
must be cats. The noise kept ND and
after some time he went up in the
attic to investigate, and in a pile of
old paper and trash he ran upon threa
full grown cOOns which had found 2
hole in the caves of the house
through which they had come to their
home in the building.
When the animals were molested
by him they at once scampered ont
through the hole and made off across
the lots towards the swamp. Mr.
Stanley said that they had been liy-
ing in the house for some time but
that until they made so much noise
at night and during the day as to dis
turb him, he had not notice them and
1t is no telling how long they NAV
have stayed there as the house was
vacant for some time prior to the
time that he moved into it.
He did not shoot the coons as he
was afraid that he would set the
house on fire and he did not try to
catch them as he was afraid of their
teeth.

Decline of $3.50 Bale Follows Active

Report.
New York, Dec. S-There was a de-
cline of about $3.50 a bale in the cot
ton market today as a result of active
liquidation following the census re-
port showing 10,129,OO0 bales ginned
to December l. These figures were
larger than expected and seemed to
shake the confidence of bullish opera
tors in a government estimate Of H.
100000 bales tomorrow.
The market closed at the lowest
prices of the day with the various
months showing net losses ranging
from 23 to 81 points.
During the early trading, leading
bulls reiterated their confidence in a
bullish crop estimate and seemed to
be giving the market support, and
there was a little trade buying

Estimates Of the Egyptian crop are

o. T. cRoNkLEToN DEAD.
Old Resident of City Passes Away Due
to Old Ace

Death came at 4:20 this morning to
Obed I. Cronkleton, an old and we'll
known resident of the city, who has
lived almost continuously since the
close of the civil war in the house
where he died, 405 West Church street.
Mr.. Cronkleton was S4 years old, and
has been falling for some time His
death was not due to any specific dis
ease, but to u gradual breaking down
caused by general debility.
Obed TAYLOR CronkleIon was a native
Of Delaware county, Ohio. where he
was born Jan. /, 1926 He lived on the
same farm where he was born, about
five miles from the city of Delaware,
until he came west in 1854 and set
tied on a farm three and one-half miles
northeast of Albion. now known as the
DR. E. s. Burroughs farm. Mr. C-onkle-
ton only remained on the farm one
year. and then moved to this city,
where he has lived ever since excepting
for a period of TWO yesrs, which he
spent near Anamosa, in Jones county.
Mr.. Cronkleton married on March 49,.
1851, his wife having been Sarah E.
Hubbard. The wedding took place at
the country home OF the bride. in the
same nefghborhood where the Cronkle
tons lived. Mrs Cronkleton died in this
city five years ago last April.
While Mr. Cronkleton was on the
farm he was engaged quite extensively
IN cattle feeding and shipping, and for
a time after moving to this city dealt
in stock. For the past thirty years,
however, he has not been engaged in
business of any kind.
Mr Cronkleton is survived by three
of MS five children. TWO died in in
fancy and those living are Mrs. Elnora
Goodman, Of this city, who has cared
Tor her father since Mrs. Cronkleton's
death; Dewey O. Cronkleton, Of Des
Moines, a Wells Fargo express mes
senger running on the Chicago Great
Western from Oelwein to Kansas City;
and Miss Sadie Cronkleton, of Denver,
Colo Two brothers also survive, in
the persons of T. c. Cronkleton, Of this
city, and Ezra J. Cronkleton. of Dun
lap.
Mr.. Dewey Cronkleton reached the
city at 1877 today, in response to a
telegram informing him Of his fathers

CENTRAL FIREMAN DEAD.
Clifford Dean. OF This City, Dies ir
Denver-To Be Buried Here.

4 telegram received at the Iowa
Central round house this morning said
that Clifford Dean. a young Iowa Cen
trail fireman. who left here on a leave
of absence in April, was dead in Dem
yer. The telegram gave no particulars
of his death, but disposition of the
body was sought Today officers of
Guide Lodge. No. 1913. Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen, Of which Dean
was a member telegraphed to have the
body sent here.
Atho Dean, who entered the employ
of the Iowa Central five years ago in
the local round house, made his home
during all OF that time with MIR. and
Mrs. C. ". Cation. 107 South Third
avenue, not much is known about him.
For about three years before he left
here Dean was a fireman on one of the
switch engines that worked here.
Dean vas an orphan and as far a ;s
known he has no relatives nearer than
an uncle, Dewitt Dean, of this city.
Dean was born in Gibsonburg, O., but
when he came to this city his father
was dead
Mrs. Cation acted as a foster mother
to the boy, who at the time of his death
was not more than 81 years old. While
II is not known what may have caused
Deans death, a possible reason was
given in a letter that Mr.. and Mrs.
eaton in letter from Dean, dtaed at
Denver, July %. In it he spoke of an
injury to his foot, which had been re-
ceived the Saturday before, and which,
he said prevented him from walking
very much. 1t is thought perhaps blood
poisoning may have resulted from this
injury.

THAYER A REAL FISHERMAN.
Veteran circuIator of Times Repubi
can in Champion Class.

A letter from Charles H. Mullan to
George F. Thayer tells Of a fishing
stunt of unusual proportions and in
terest in which A. p Thayer, the vet
eran T.-R circulation man. pulled off
in the st. Croix river. near saltwater.
Mimi. few days ago. Mr.. Thayer is
spending the summer at White Bear,
where he has a summer home. and in
company with his son-in-law Mr..
Mullan. of St. Paul, Went up the St.
Crox for days fishing. Mr.. Mulian
admits canddly that he did not hook a
fish during the entire day, but this is
what the old man" caught, and right
before Mullans very eyes, and sitting
in the same boat:
One fifteen pound channel cat
One eight-pound channel cat.
Two snall-moutled black bass,
weighing two pounds each.
One wall-eyed pike weighing three
pounds.
The fifteen pound cat gave Mr..
Thayer twenty minutes hard work in
order to accomplish a successful land
ing and the boat was pulled about at
Will by the big fish as he fought for his
liberty The fish was landed with a
lightweight jointed rod and bass line,
and a bass hook. Mr.. Mullan says it
was worth the price OF admission to see
the trick turned. and he was perfectly
contented to row the boat, as the other
fellow has to do for the privilege of
fishing with Thayer.
When Mr.. Thayer is on duty, and
writes interestingly of fishing exper-
fences. Times Republican readers will
known that he is speaking from actual
experience. and not after reading about
the doings of some other fellow who
thinks he can fish.
