Made Itself obnoxious by Constant
Reminder of Daughters courtship.
An old parrot which had been in
the family of the late Senator Quay.
of Pennsylvania, at his Beaver home
has lust been sold for a curious rca-
son. Before Lewis Davidson OF
Beaver, wooed and won Miss Mae
Quay. a daughter of the senator. her
sisters had taught the bird to say
"Good-by. Lou" followed by smack
sounds like kissing The bird was q
good talker. and as Miss Quay would
sing out "Good-by. LOU" as her dover
was leaving nights, the parrot would
mimic her.
This was all right, even IL the
neighbors did hear it, for a time, but
a year or more after the marriage OF
Miss Quay and Mr. Davidson they
separated. After that the parrot con-
stantly harped on "Good'hy, Lou'
Smack, smack"
The neighbors heard IL, OF course,
and for a time the street in front OF
he Quay home became quite boule-
ward. all because Of the curious per
sons who wished to hear the parrot
Finally the bird became so hateful to
Mrs. Davidson that she wanted TO sell
II. The other members of the family
objected, as the bird had been raw

Davidson prevailed and the bird was

JENSEN SELLS MEAT MARKET.
Disposes of Same to George Selander
and Takes in the SeIander Farm
Near Denson.

A real estate deal of large proper.
tons was consummated a few days
since, when c. NJ. Jensen traded his
meat market to the Selander heirs
for their farm OF 240 acres, a mile
north and west of Denison. The
change means that G. M. Jensen will
retire from the Broadway meat mark
ct and will be succeeded by George
Selander, who will have charge of the
business.
We understand that Mr.. Jensen will
take charge of the farm after the first
of March and manage the same, either
from here or by later moving onto
the farm.
The Selander people will take
possession of the meat market on
the first of December. Mr.. George
Selander is a bright and active young
man, and we have no doubt but that
he will make a success of his new
venture, assisted, as he will be, by
the other members of the family, who
will cooperate with him in the man
agement Of the market.

THE PIPE ORGAN RECITAL.
Proves Brilliant Affair and Most En-.
tertaining-VeryL Large :.
Audience Present.

The pipe organ recital at the Meth
odist church on Friday night was a
brilliant performance, and proved even
a greater success than was antici-
pated. 1t was, without question, the
finest treat in musical way that Den
ison has ever enjoyed. The conditions
were all favorable for making the oc-
casion a great success. A perfect
organ, performer of the highest ar
tistic merit, magnificent singers and
a large and appreciative audience, all
conspired to make the affair rare
treat. Mr.. kreiser captivated the
music-loving people by his superior
performance. Mrs. Thomas, OF Omaha
sustained her enyiable reputation, and
Mrs. B. j. Sibbert in singing Il Will
t.Xtol Thee, O Lord" added to her
already well-earned popularity as a
singer. Denison has much to be
proud of, but it is especially proud OF
Mr.. and Mrs c. l.. Voss for the dona-
ton OF the pipe organ which will add
SO much to the entertainment of the
city for years to come.

COURT ADJ0URNS
FOR THE WEEK
The Mckim inheritance Tax Case
Came on Tuesday and Occupied
Considerable Attention.
JURY WILL BE HERE MONDAY
Number of Motions Attacking Plead
ings in Various Gases Have
Been Considered.

The district court has been in ses-
sion since Monday noon, but it is ex-
pected an adjournment will be taken
over Thanksgiving till Monday.
Judge Church returned on Monday
noon from his home at Jefferson in
order to hear a number Of fragmentary
matters and to clear the deck for jury
work OH Monday. 4 number of mo-
tons attacking pleadings in various
cases have been considered by the
court, and two o. three probate mat
ters tried. Mrs. Margaretha Topf had
a claim against the estate of Margaret
Healy, confined in an insane asylum.
The guardian refused to allow the
claim and hearing was had before
the court and claim, amounting to
about sS50.00, was allowed and ordered
to be paid. The inheritance tax case,
n the McKim estate, was also heard
by the court on Tuesday, occupying
large portion Of the day. In this case
the state is seeking to enforce the
claim for taxes against the land own
ers and those who purchased land of
the estate at partition sale. The de-
tense is that the purchasers had no
notice of the claim OF the state and
we're, therefore, innocent purchasers.
The contention of the state is that
here is no such thing as an innocent
purchaser; that the taxes become a
lien upon the property of the decedent
mediately following his death, aud
hat they remain lien until the taxes
re paid. The case was submitted to
the court and the decision as
o whether the purchaser acquired
he land free of the lien for
-axes will be rendered later. The
ase, in any event, will probably

ARRESTED FOR
GRAND LARCENY
1t Is Said Pearl Servoss, Of Denison
Has Been Arrested at Logan for
Larceny Of a Pocketbook.
! HIS BAIL is FIXED AT $4,000
In Default of Which Servoss is Con-
fined in Harrison County Jail
at Loqan


A startling report came here the lat
ter part of the week that Pearl Ser
voss, son of George Servoss, of this
city, had been arrested at Logan,
charged with the crime of larceny. 1t is
said that young Servoss was passen-
ger on the c. & N. w. railway on the
train that passed through Denlsvn Oh
Thursday afternoon about one)o'clock,
his destination being Missouri Valley,
and that when the train arrived at
Dow City Miss Nellie Jones boarded
lit for Dunlap, where on alighting, she
missed her pocketbook, and immedi-
.ately returned to the car, thinking she
would find the pocketbook in the seat
which she had just vacated. She was
disappointed, however, and told the
conductor of her loss and he began an
Investigation which led him to sus-
.picion young Servoss, and he wired
ahead for an officer to meet the train
at Logan.
The sheriff of Harrison county was
on hand when the train arrived at Lo-
gan and promptly arrested Servoss,
who first denied any knowledge of the
pocketbook, but upon move on the
part of the sheriff to search him, adj
mitted he had it and produced it.
1t is said there was in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 in the pocketbook.
The young man is still in Jail at Logan,
having failed, up to this time, to Sc
cure bail. We hope it may turn out
that the circumstances will not show
a criminal intent on the part of Mr..
Servoss, and that his parents may be
spared the humiliation of having their
son convicted of stealing the money.

HON. H. {. LAUB
DIES ON TUESDAY
Denison's First Merchant Closes His
Busy Life Work in His
87th Year.
FUNERAL SERVICE ON FRIDAY
Brief Biography Of the Notable
Pioneer Whose Life Was Close
ly Identified with Community.

On the morning of Tuesday, Novem-
Der 81. 1910, occurred the death of
Hon. Clay Laub, who was at the time
of his demise the senior surviving
resident Of Denison. His residence
here was almost coincident with the
history of our city and during the
more than half century he was, at
every moment, one of the most prom
inent, one of the most active and one
of the most responsible and highly
respected of our citizens. He was
honored during his life with many po-
sitions of trust and confidence and he
will be followed to the tomb with a
sorrow and an affection which are
both sincere and heartfelt.
With little schooling he was we'll
educated, we'll rounded man. A man
who accomplished much, who took a
pride in his work, who loved his fellow
men; man who was sincere ana
kindly and sympathetic; man who
God had given him. OF the scores of
men who helped to make this county
and this city what they are today,
his name will stand pre-eminent as a
doer of good and helpful things. He
was our first merchant. He built the
first store building in Denison. He
: burned the first brick. He built the
first school house in Denison. He
built the first brick store building. He
built the first telegraph line. He was
the first sheriff. He was the first
surveyor. He summoned the first
jury. He was the first county super
intendent. Look which way we will
to discover the beginning of things
in this our county and the trail almost
invariably leads us back to H. C. Laub
as first
More than this, he was active to
the very last, keenly intelligent, warm
ly alive to the events of the day, man
aging his business affairs with tie
same strong personality that he
showed when as young man OF
thirty-one he first cast his lot with
the people of Crawford county.
Mr.. Laub was born in Little York
Pennsylvania, April IS, 1924. He was
one of family of nine, the son of
William and Catharine (Snyder) Laub
His father was born in Reading, Pa.
and was of the sturdy Pennsylvania
Dutch stock and was a leading citizen
of Gettysburg for many years, being
at one time treasurer of the county in
which Gettysburg is located. His
uncle was a veteran of the war of
1872. His mother was born in Ian
caster City, Pa, and was of German
Irish origin.
