Bowsher & Bowsher Had a Big Day

Last Saturday was day long to be
remembered at Bowsher & Bowsher' S
big implement store in this city, it be-
ing their annual spring opening. and
the big store was crowded all day
long with customers from all parts
of the county. They had seven or
eight travelling men here in addition
to their big force of statesmen at the
store, and they were all kept busy
showing the merits of the different
kinds of machinery exhibited on the
floor, as we'll as their big line of bug
gies, wagons and harness, and then
too, everybody wanted a free auto
mobile ticket, for they are going to
give away fine five passenger auto
mobile on the next annual auto day
in Leon. When the Bowshers start
in to do anything they always carry it
to a successful termination, and their
1911 opening was no exception, for
it was the biggest kind of success.

Mrs. Joseph s. NayIor.

Mrs. Caroline Cave Naylor was
born in Dallas county, Iowa, March
10, 1856, and died at her home near
Decatur, Iowa, March 10, 1911, pass
ing away on her birthday, aged SIS
years. She was united in marriage
to Joseph S. Naylor October 27,
1870. To this union were born six
children, Ralph, Writ, Fair, Roy.
Bertha Bedell and Anna Akers,
Ralph and Writ having preceded her
to the other world in their childhood.
She therefore leaves husband, four
children and ten grandchildren to
mourn her loss. She also leaves two
brothers, Granville Cave, of Redfield,
Iowa, and Edward Cave, of Leon,
Iowa. She united with the U. B.
church fifteen years ago and lived a
consistent Christian to the end of
her life. In her home she was a de-
voted wife and mother. Her life was
spent in trying to add comfort and
happiness to her children, and she
will be sadly missed by all who know
her. She was willing to go and her
last words were, Il surrender ALL"
For long time during her last ill
ness her suffering was intense and of
such a nature that often she felt
that death would be sweet and well
come, but she bore it all with cheer
fulness. She passed away leaving
this world of aches and pains for a
better and happier one, where she
would see loved ones gone on before.
She was laid to rest by the loving
hands of her husband, children and
relatives and host of friends in the
Decatur cemetery. In behalf of the
family we will say that we are very
grateful to those who so kindly came
to our assistance during mothers
last illness and in this time of our
sorrow and grief. Scott Jones.

At the Nj. F.. Church.

The morning hour last Sunday was
occupied by Rev. Parsons, of Des
Moines, who in very practical way,
presented the work of the Society
for the Friendless." His address
was we'll received and designed to
create deeper interest in this very
worthy cause.
On next Sabbath evening at 8
o'clock, Mr.. Paul F. Voelker, lectur-
er, will deliver a sermon lecture on
Joan of Arc, at the M. E. church. A.
cordial invitation is extended to all
churches of the city to unite in this
service. All are welcome.
The work on the basement is
about completed, and will add greatly
to the convenience of much of the
church work. The Woman's Guild
has had charge of the work and will
soon be able to announce the date of
their opening.
Easter will be observed with ap-
propriate exercises by the Sabbath
school.

MAUST OR CRAVfNS?
Government Officials will be Called
Upon to Decide Identity of Prls-
oner in Missouri Prison.

Jefferson City, March 20.-Is
Charles Maust, a prisoner in the Mis-
souri, penitentiary, really Ben Crav-
ems, the notorious outlaw, who es-
capped ten years ago from the Kan
sas penitentiary?
Warden Andrae, of the peniten-
tiary, declares the two men are ident-
ical. Pictures of each, placed side by
side, are declared by the warden to
be of the same man. The penitentiary
| measurements of Cravens and Maust
are almost identical, varying only as
much as mans physical measure
ments might vary in ten years. The
record clerk at the Kansas peniten-
tiary backs up Warden Andrae's
opinion by declaring his belief that
Maust really is Cravens.
Upon the opinion of Joseph john
ston, United States postoffice in
spector, the final Identification of
Maust will wait. Mr. Johnston knows
Cravens personally. While he has
not seen the outlaw for more than
ten years he believes that he could
identify him now without question.
If Maust really is Cravens, he will
be rearrested immediately after his
release from the Missouri peniten-
tiary, where he is serving sentence
for larceny in Atchison county un-
less Governor Hadley pardons him
sooner in order that he may be TAX
en- back to the Kansas prison.
There are many cases on the GRIM
inal records where badly wanted out
laws were found in prisons hidden
under assumed names. In some cases
these prisoners have deliberately
com mitted small crimes in order to
be sent to the penitentiary and be
com paratively safe. BY the time the
sentence expired the hunt for them
would not be so keen and they would
be less likely to be caught for the
more serious crimes charged against
them.
A notable case of this kind was
that of "Bill' Rudolph, who escaped
from the county Jail at st. Louis,
where he was held for trial for the
killing of a Pinkerton detective, fol-
lowing a bank robbery at Union, Mo.
Shortly after his escape he was
caught with gang of bank robbers
in Kansas and sentenced to the Kan
sas penitentiary. There he was found
by Pinkerton officers, pardoned by.
the governor of Kansas and taken
back to Union, convicted and hanged.
The almost universal use of the
Bertilion measurements makes this
practice of criminals more hazardous
now

HIGH SCHOOL CONTEST
Leon Contestants fail to Get a Place
in the County DeCIamatory Con- =
test at Garden Grove. l..

| There were a large number OF
Leon students and citizens went to
Garden Grove on the special train last
Friday evening to attend the cOun!
ty high school declamatory contest,
| there being six coaches on the train
which ran from Van Vert to Leon
and Lamont to Garden Grove. The
contest was held in the M. E. and
Presbyterian churches, there being
no churches or hall in Gar
den Grove large enough to seat all
who wanted to hear the contestants,
so the committee decided to give the
same program in both churches, but
| the judges were all at one church.
For the first time since the county
organization was formed the Leon
contestants failed to secure place,
but our contestants both made ia
vorable impression with the audi
ences and the judges.
In the oratorical class there were
four contestants, Forest Allen, of
Van Vert, with Robert Emmett's 8
Vindication'' Arthur Edwards, of
Pleasanton, in Against Centraliza-
tion," Joseph France, of Lamont with
''The Unknown Speaker and Doro-
thy Zichy, of Garden Grove, with
"Abraham." The speakers all did we'll
but Joseph France was easily the
winner for first place, and Miss
Zichy was close second.
In the dramatic class there were
four contestants, Lola Brazelton, of
Leon with Bobby Shafto," Hazel
Griffin, of Grand River in THE Arena
Scene," Celia McClaran, of Davis
City with "Ole Mistis," and Clara
Thompson, of Weldon, in "Simski.
In this class the applause was very
generally divided and each contes-
tant did rem markable we'll, but in
summing up the markings of the
judges Clella McClaran was award
ed first place and Clara Thompson
second.
In the humorous class there were
four contestants and they all pleased
their hearers. They were Sylvia
Bennett, of Garden Grove, who was
awarded first place with "Sally AIMS
Experience, Bessie France, of La
moni, who was given second place
with ''The Sling Shot," Miss Mar
guerite Hoff, of Leon, with "A Fash
1Ou0OiS~ 6CuOO1 OIII, dHU N1IDFE" 1N1U
Boak, of Decatur, with "Riggles'
Dinner Party"
Splendid music was provided by
Garden Grove talent, and everything
was done to make the visit at Garden
Grove an enjoyable one.
The judges were county superin-
tendent Miss Myrtle DUNCAN, of
Charlton, Rev. N. H. Gist, of Humes-
ton, and Prof. Robert M. Stookey, of
Humeston.
The gold medals were presented
to the winners by Prof. A. c. Voelker,
of Leon, president of the county Or
ganization. in few we'll chosen words
in which he congratulated them on
their success.
The county contest will be held
at Decatur City next year, it being
the rule to alternate the place of
holding the contest among the vari-
GUS towns which are members of the
association.
