LONG SUFFERING
| IS ENDED TODAY
Peter Beeler, Well Known
Man Dies After Am
puration of a Leg.

After one years suffering from a pc
culiar nerve disease affecting the low
er part OF his body. Peter S. Beeler,
aged 81, retired farmer. ex-county Of
fetal and one of the most prominent
and best known residents of Rich
mond, succumbed at the Reid Memoir
ial hospital this morning at S;i5
O'Clock. His affliction had baffled
twenty of the most prominent doctors
and nerve and bone specialists, who
had been called into consultation by
local physicians.
Mr.. Beeier had been in a very crit
zeal condition for the past few weeks
Yesterday he declined rapidly, and
death was expected at any time. All
hope had been abandoned for his re-
covery.
/ On Tuesday physicians amputated
! Mr.. Beeler's left leg, just above the
| knee, because of its having become
affected with dry gangrene 1t was
| his right leg that was most severity
afflicted with the nerve disease. The
operation was performed as a relief
measure. and was in no way responsl-
| BILE for the death. Mr.. Beeler's de-
mise was caused by the increasing
| ravages of the disease, the nature OF
which at the time of his death had
| not been eScertained.
| Mr.. Beeler's illness became serious
about year ago, and during the last
six weeks he had been confined at the
Reid Memorial hospital He suffered
intensely from pains in the lower part
of the body, ascribed by physicians to
| a nervous disorder, but the cause, ma
ture, or possible remedy proved en-
tirely beyond the medical ability of
local practitioners and many special
lists. The case was one of the most
battling and puzzling ever known in
this city.
| Mr.. Beeler is survived by his wife,
and two daughters, Mrs. Isaac Wilson
and Miss Jessie Beeler, both of this
city. The funeral will be held at
Eikhorn. Other arrangements will be
announced later.
| Peter S. Beeler was born in Union
county about six miles north of Lib
erty. Ind, November 8, 1S49. When
he was eight years old he moved with
his parents to farm on the Liberty
pike about three miles south of Rich
mond, where he spent the early part
of his youth. He removed to Rich.
mond a number of years ago, but re
tanned the farm, dividing his time be
tween his city and country residence
Mr.. Beeler was elected county com
missioner and assumed the duties Of
the office January ] 1898. He served
the county in this capacity continu
ously for six years. retiring December
81, 1908. He proved an efficient and
capable public official.
Mr.. Beeler was widely known
throughout this community, and was
held in high esteem by his hosts OF
friends, gained in private and public
life. Although his life was known tc
be in jeopardy for some time, news o.
his death comes as distinct shocl
and occasions the deepest regre
among those who knew him.

Attorneys have been consulted in

OWNERS
ENTER A PROTEST
Think N. D St. Improve
ments Should Be Paid by
City and Railroads.

Arguments were introduced in a
hearing on the North d street inn
provement, at the board of works this
by Byram Robbins, attorney,
representing the demonstrating prop
erty holders, to show that the city,
the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eas-
tern traction company and the Penn
sylvania railroad company, should as
sumo the entire cost of the paving,
these corporations and the city being
benefited the most.
Robbins stated, as reason, that
originally ID street was residence
thoroughfare but had been convert
ed into business street, because of
the location of the Pennsylvania and
the c. & o. freight depots. He ex
planned that the property owners We're
in no way responsible for the change.
Property holders on ID street" he OBJ
served. really don't want the street
paved as it will decrease the value of
property as residences. making noisy
and dirty thoroughfare.
On the final hearing of the D street
improvement, the benefits and damag-
es may be shifted so as TO place much
of the benefits on the railroad compa-
ny, which, Mr. Robbins stated, would
be willing to bear the cost. In this
case the benefits will be taken from
the property holders and charged to
the company.
The city will pay $500 on the im-
prOyemeut according to a decision
reached at the Board meeting this
morning. Though damages from con-
domination of property and other min
or expenses at present unforeseen, the
total cost to the city will reach about
$4,000, practically one-third of the inn
provement cost. At the time of final
hearing property owners accompanied
by their attorney will appear before
the Board.

RICHMOND LIBRARY
ADDS new FEATURE
Clarence Cennett Presents
500 Rolls of Standard
Music to Public.

Announcement was made today OF
gift of 500 music rolls to the Norris
son-Reeves library for general circula-
ton in the same manner as governs
the books, by Clarence Gennett, a
prominent resident of this city and
member of the Starr Piano company.
The rolls will comprise music of a
high quality by the best composers of
all periods, but are selected with a
view to having them appeal to the
tastes of all music lovers and stu
dents. About seventy rolls have been
secured, and an order for 300 is soon
to be filled by prominent publishing
house. Other rolls TO complete the
number of the gift will be ordered by
Mrs. Ada l.. Bernhard. librarian.
Owing TO the fact that much time
will be required to design a system
for the circulation of the music and
also because the rolls will not be re-
ceived for some time, the music will
not be ready for distribution until
about March l.
The introduction of music rolls into
library circulation has never before
been attempted, at least in libraries
in this section, ii is said, and if the
experiment meets with success the
plan may be followed elsewhere max.
ing Richmond the leader in new H.
brary movement
This new feature will make the
Morrisson-Reeves library one of the
most unique from standpoint OF
service of any in the country. 1t now
has a circulation of lantern slides
which are used extensively by clubs
and schools for entertainments.
The purpose of Mr. Gennetts gift
is to provide the opportunity for mus
ic lovers and students to secure TEN.
porarily music of good quality and
great variety.
A card system similar to that used
in the book circulation will be ar
ranged for the music rolls by Mrs
Bernhard. The system will have to
be originated by her as the feature
is new venture in library work.

HERMOSA OIL WE'LL

Pecos Fire Department Or
ders New Chemical Engine
and Elects Officers

PecoS, Texas, Jan. 2.-It is reported
in PecOs that the parties who recently
decided to experiment for oil in the
vicinity of Hermosa, Texas, which is
about ten miles from Pecos City, have
gone to a depth of 500 feet. Every in
dication points to oil and gas being
discovered at Hermosa in large quaint
ties.
At the annual meeting held at the

officers were elected to serve the Pc
cos volunteer fire department for the
following year: w. P. Brady, presi-
dent; lack Miles, secretary and treas
urer; Earl Ceilings, sergeant. The asso-
citation selected the following, subject
to the approval of the city council: z.
B. Kiser chief; E. J. Meyer, assis tant
chief; Chas. F. Manahan, second assist
ant chief.
The fire committee reported that it
had ordered a chemical engine. to be
shipped out from Ft. Worth for so days

ties of the association was made, and
the remcdeled engine was found to be
in perfect working order, streams of
water being thrown over all the prin-
