Glen Noelke Accidentally Hit by
Thirty-fiye Small Shots From
Eoy Dimond'a Gun, Sunday
at Noon.
DIDN'T SEE FRIEND
Dmond With Father and Noelke Had
Been Hunting In Des Moines
Bottoms When Gun Was
Discharged.

While hunting in the Des Moines
river bottoms, Sunday morning after
II o'clock, Glen Noelke. son of Mr..
and Mrs. A. L.. Noelke, 907 Concert
street, was accidently shot by a com
panion, Roy Dimond. The two boys,
with Harry G. Dimond, father of Roy
Dimond, had been securing about in
the brush and timbers about six or
seven miles south of the city and had
separated.
The younger Dimond had scared
up a rabbit and was running his game
when without looking about for his
father and young Noelke he blazed at
the fleeing cotton tail.
Noelke, standing almost in the di
rect path of the shot from the double
barreled gun, Dimond held, received
the shot in his lower abdomen and in
both legs. Some of the shot pierced
the skin more deeply in the left limt
than the other and DR.. G. A. Dimont
was called to attend the injured lac
at his Office. Thirty-fve of the small
shots from the discharged shell hae
struck Noelke's legs and a numbel
were easily picked from the skin sur
face.
Roy Dimond, hunting companion o
his friend, Noelke, was much DIG
tressed by the accident which though
not serious, was painful.

REV. JOHN TURNER DEAD.

The death on Saturday OF Rev. John

One OF the old warriors OF the cross.
one OF the early ministers of the Cos
pei. who was OF our race. Father Tur-
ncr. as he was reyerently called. up
10 = couple OF years ago maintained
his place In the itinerant ministry of
the A. N. F.. church. But now his
temple OF clay Is deserted. and he has
gone to sing praises in the land be
yond the food.
Life dealt kindly with him and he
grew old gracefully. showing no star
tling loss OF power unit, he was
stricken with paralysis last year He
partially recovered. bsS within the
past few weeks he had begun to lose
his grip on the things OF now. His
declining days were made comfort
able by the efforts of the church and
his friends.
The services were very impressive.

Masonic burial rites at the request OF

longed.
Rev. Turner was great church
builder and both the Methodist
churches OF this city have their prop
trty due to his leadership. A widow
only survives him.
Paralysis. from which he had al
ready suffered one strike. was the
cause OF his death. And so 81 years
OF active life. more than 80 OF which
were spent In the ministry. came to a
close. Few men have had larger
part In the upeuilding OF the church
and the race. He was very prominent
