honor of the occasion.
The joyous time will ever stand out
clear in the memory of each one, al
though tinge of sadness may have
crept in, all knowing that they might
as family never meet again.
Over 500 in gold was given the par
ents by the relatives.
Mr.. and Mrs. Evans are much re-
spected citizens of our community and
all join in wishing them many more
years of health and happiness.

Saturday dwindled down to q few

WHEAT FIELD BURNED
Ten Acres Fine Wheat Burned Over,
Origin OF Fire Never Will
Be Known. 5000 Loss

Clarence Crane was cutting wheat on
his Grandfather's farm north of town
and while doing SO noticed fire start.
Fastening to put it out was of no avail
and before the fire ceased ten acres of
fine wheat was burned up completely.
1t was beautiful field of wheat,
well filled, and stood up as straight as
a string. Clarence has not the least
idea how the fire started. He had
some matches in his pocket; he needed
his jack knife, and in taking it out Of
his pocket thinks he must have pulled
a match out with it, but how it caught
fire he cannot guess. He does not
smoke SO that lighted match was not
thrown carelessly down. It's loss Of
5000 to say the least.
We understand the binder was burned
with the wheat.

AN EXTRA TEACHER
Near Death At Her Home In Los An
geles, California. Sad News To
Many Friends.

Letters were received in the city
again today telling of the serious con-
dition of Mrs. Addie Case Gum at her
home in Los Angeles. Report of her
death is expected at almost any time.
AT the time of the last letter written
her brain, throat and one side were par
alzed and the other side was also slight
.ly affected. Her husband has been con-
stantly at her bedside since July 4th,
the letters say.
Ten physicians, including specialists
have been on the case and there has
been special nurse in charge every
day and another one at night. Every
thing that possibly could be done has
been attended to by Mr. Gum. The
many friends of Mrs. Gum in Atlantic
will regret to hear this sad news and
extend their sympathy to Mr.. Gum in
his trial.--Atlantic Telegraph.
Later-Mrs. Gum passed away on
July 18th, the telegram announcing
her death was delayed in transit. Mrs.
Gum, formerly known here as Miss
Adda Case, who taught in the fourth
room in the Extra City Schools, was
married little over a year ago and
moved with her husband to Los An.

their future home. While lifting a
heavy ladder some time ago, she

became perfectly paralyzed before her
death.

Reports indicate that early corn in the
tasseling and caring stage has already
suffered considerable damage especially
in southern and central districts, and
the crop as whole is at very critical
stage. Grasshoppers are numerous and
are injuring uncut grain, corn and clo-
yer in many localities. The bulk of
the small grain harvest has been COM
pleted in the southern and central see
tions and will be practically finished
in the northern counties during the
coming week. Shock thrashing has
begun. Pastures, gardens and pota-
toes continue to deteriorate. Early po-
tatoes are failure and the late varie-
ties are drying up.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
Had Borrowed Gun Of Friend To
Shoot Weasel. Left Charge In
Gun. Boy Saw Gun.

There might have been, something
more serious, than did happen, at the
home of Mr.. Adam Seibert, one of our
r. F. d. men, when he came very
near the Golden Shore last week.
His little son, Leo while handling
gun that was not loaded, of COURSE
exploded it when pointed toward his
father. A weasel had been taking Mr..
Seibert's chickens, and not having
gun to salute the weasel that was tax
ing his young chickens very fast-he
borrowed one from friend. When the
weasel again appeared, shell was in
serted in the gun, and hasty hunt
was progressing but the weasel disap-
peared completely. Taking the gun
to the house and laying it in one cor
ner of the room for the weasels next
appearance, he went to attend to some
culinary matter, as Mrs. Seibert had
gone to Shenandoah to Aait on some
sick relatives when his little son Leo
had come into the room. The boy had
taken up the gun, when that peculiar
click Of the trigger attracted Mr. Sci
bert's attention. He at once thought
Of leaving aIoad in the gun and ask
ing the lad if he had set the trigger,
the gun being pointed partly toward
Mr. Seibert, it instantly exploded be-
fore he could get out of line with the
barrel and he received few shots in
the flesh Of his left hand which went
through the hand, lodging in the Joint.
Mr.. Ssibert hastily camc to town, and
. physician Immediately summoned.
The wound altho not eeriour, was quite
painful and Adam is still circulating
among his friends. Had that gun have
been pointed just few inches more
toward him fatal shot may have been
received, that would have ended his
career. Itswas one of those lucky ac-
cidents and we are pleased to know it
was no worse

FORTY BUSHELS
Wheat To The Acre Was Raised This
Year By MIR. Arthur Ander-
So1 Near Brayton.

Forty bushels of wheat to the acre as
raised by ME Arthur Anderson of near
Brayton is certainly good yield and
very unusual for this part of Iowa. 1t
demonstrates plainly that dry weather
is no hindrance, but rather beneficial
tothe propagation and maturing of
wheat in Iowa.
While the early season was all that
could be desired, it was thought that
the continued dry weather and excess
sive heat of late would, in a measure,
damage, if not destroy the crop But
this yield of Mr.. Anderson's field
proves the contrary.

LUCKY DRAYMAN
And His Sister, Poor But Affluence
And Riches Comes To Them
From Unexpected Source.

Roy and Hazel Whitaker, who are
distant relatives of Mr.. and Mrs. Adam
Seibert of this city are the principals
of valuable developments. Ray is a
drayman and Hazel is hello girl in
Shenandoah, Iowa.
Twenty three years ago, Mrs. Anna
p. Whitaker, the grandmother of
these young people lived in Pottawat-
tamie County, Iowa and was well to do
Her only son was the father of these
young people, her only daughter was
twice married, the second time her
name was Sanford. In 1888 Mrs. San
ford left the country and nothing has
been heard from her since. She took
her only son, Charles Burbee with her.
Grandmother Whitaker died in 1908,
leaving large estate. Roy and Hazel
received their proper tion at the time,
being only few hundred dollars.
Recently they received small check,
from the old estate that they under
stood was closed long ago.
They employed two lawyers who be-
gan Investigating They found that
fully one-half of Grandma's estate was
left to her daughter, Mrs. Sanford,
which was increased to 1923, 1000 or more
Seven years is considered by law as the
limit that a person should be missing
and not heard from. AT that time they
are legally dead, add both Mrs. Sanford
and her son, Charles Burbee have been
missing for % years.
Our young people, Ray and Hazel
now asks the Court to probate the es.
tates. They assert that Mrs. Sanford
has no heirs but Roy and Hazel Whit
taker, her nephew and niece. They
have made the same claim as to Chas.
Burbee's estate Mrs. Sanford and her
son, Charles Burbee are legally dead.
Judge Thornell of This District Court
has made an order to publish in the
Nonpareil for eight weeks the above
facts at which time if there is no an
swer to the summons our young toilers
of Shenandoah will find themselves the
pessessors of about 25 to 10000 dollars
to divide equally.
