Death of John Durham.

Death has again thinned the ranks
OF the Iowa pioneers and veterans of
the great Civil War, in removing
from us John Durham, who passed
away at his home in Grand River on
June 5, 1912, at the age of "A years,
II months and % days. Deceased
was born in Lancaster, Ohio, Oct.
~, 1887. When he was ten Years
old he came with his parents to the
then newly formed state of Iowa,
settling in Cedar county. After re-
siding there for some time the fam
lly moved to Story county, where
John grew to manhood. Needing
his country's call for volunteers in
the great struggle for it's preserva-
ton, he enlisted in 1862 in the 32nd
Iowa, and served with honor for
three years and twelve days, until
the close of the war. While he was
absent the family had moved to
Clarke county, where he returned
after being mustered out of the SER
; vice.
In 1857 Mr.. Durham was united
in marriage to Laura Hale. To this
union five children were born, four
OF whom survive. One son, George,
died in 1910. Two sons and two
daughters, Jesse and Halle Bur-
ham, and Mrs. J. C. Brothers, of
Grand River, and Mrs. VIM. Daugh-
ton, OF Beaconsfield, together with
the wife, were with the father
and husband during his last illness,
ana remain to mourn his departure
Besides these he leaves many other
. relatives and host of friends.
In 1884 Mr.. Durham moved from
Clarke county to Grand River, where
he resided until his death. For a
number of years he has taken an
active part in the affairs of his town
ana community, and was elected to
various othces by his fellow towns
men: IN 1868 he became member
OF the Masonic lodge, and for over
j forty years was an esteemed and ac-
! tive member, loved by his brethren,
VINO showed their appreciation of
him by giving him the highest hon
ors possible to bestow. He was also
an active member of the G. A. R.
Post until age and decreasing mem
bers made it impossible for that or
ganlzation to continue. In 1910 he
became christian and united with
the Christian church in Grand River,
, ne showed his faith by uprightness
and integrity of character and a per-
feet trust in the wisdom of God and
expressed his willingness to depart
this life at any time.
Mr.. Durham was an exemplary cit
! izen, kind and affectionate husband,
a loving father, and leaves behind
the fragrant memory of a life well
lived.
The funeral service was held in
the Christian church at Grand River
thursday morning, June 9Th, at II
o'clock, conducted by Rev. ]. S. Cof-
i'm, pastor Of the Leon Christian
church. The remains were laid to
rest in the Young cemetery Just east
OF Grand River, and the closing SER
vice was given by the Masonic order,
A long procession of friends followed
! the remains to their last resting

Hoover Standing by His Wife When
She Was Hit by AerOplane.

81 was standing by my wife's side
when the accident happened said
is. C. Hoover, last night. ''The ma
chine was about twelve feet in the
air and l thought it was going to
rise. Instead one of the planes
seemed to strike a heavy beam or
timber in the old grandstand and
the machine was whirled heavily
against the newer structure.
'The whole ground in front of
the grandstand was packed. I do
not know who was standing next to
me on the side opposite from my
wife, but l am sure he was the man
who was killed. The edge of the
great plane seemed to strike him
full in the face, as I remembered
seeing blood and huge cash across
his countenance.
Even as I stood stricken beside
the man ny wife screamed and her
cry brought me to myself. I knelt
by her side and quickly discovered
that her leg had been broken. The
shock to her was terrible and the
ride to the city was a cruel one over
uneven roads, but the driver was
very skillful and drove as carefully
as possible under the circumstances"
1t is only three months since
Hoover was released from the city
hospital. He was in the institution
for several weeks, prior to which he
was in two other hospitals. He was
operated upon three times and was
just regaining his health when the
second calamity fell upon his house
hold. Hoover has been unable to
work for fourteen months, but was
intending to resume his occupation
as a barber within a few days. He
lives at 26O1 Eastlake avenue.

though their slumbers had not been
disturbed.
Bodies Horribly NIutilated.
The party found Mr.. and Mrs
Moore in. the northwest room up.
stairs, the horrible mutilation Of
their heads attesting to the silence
and dispatch with which the whole
sale murder was accomplished. II
the south room on the same floor ir
three beds, were found the bodies
of the four children. Their heads
| were crushed in the same manner
as was employed in the Staying o.
the others in the house.
Bloodhounds have been procured
from Nebraska in an attempt tt
track down the murderer. From tht
condition of the heads of the eight
people it seems as though the muir
ders were the deed of a mad man
who took maniacal delight in chop
ping open and crushing the heads
of his victims. The fact that moth
ing else was disturbed in the house
throws a dark cloud over the robbery
and murder theory which was enter
tanned early this morning.
Think Slayer q Maniac.
That the slayer was a maniac or
an enemy of the Moores who was
seeking revenge, are the most prob
able theories entertained. Efforts
are being made to locate four ne
groes, who were strangers here, and
the conviction is growing that they
may be the guilty ones. No negroes
are living in Villisca, and their
presence here for several nights and
their sudden departure last night
or early this morning causes much
speculation.
DR.. Linquist, of Stanton, the cor
oner, was the first county official to
arrive, and he began an investlga-
ton which reached elimination
this afternoon before jury. The
city's mayor was in the country to-
day and as a result the marshal was
the only city officer in authority.
With citizens he wired for blood
hounds to prosecute the search for
the murderer.
Sheriff Takes Charge.
Sheriff Jackson, of Red Oak, did
not arrive until noon, when he took
charge of the case. Detectives from
Omaha and other nearby cities were
telegraphed for and went to work
on the case with Sheriff Jackson
this afternoon.
Mr.. Moore was one Of the most
prominent businessmen of the city.
He was also a we'll known church
worker, and SO far as is known, had
no enemies. The two Stillinger
girls are daughters of one of the
wealthiest and most prominent
farmers in the county. They had
come to Villisca to attend church
services and were the guests of
Katherine Moore during the day.

my health, and had to give up work.
Vinol was recommended, and from the

my bronchial trouble disappeared, and

1t is the combined action of the
curative elements of the Gods livers,
aided by the blood-making and
strengthening properties of tonic
iron contained in Vinol which makes
it SO successful in curing bronchitis.
Vinol is a constitutional remedy for
chronic coughs, colds, bronchitis and
pulmonary troubles-not a palliative
like cough syrups.
Try Vinol. If you don't think 1t
helps you, we will return your money.

FACTORY ACCIDENTS
University Of Iowa Representatives
Secure Statistics on Liability
AMPLE INSURANCE is CARRIED
Practically Every Owner Of Industrial
Concerns 10 Found to Be Well
Protected From Danger
Suits for Injuries.

Des Moines.-Three university rep
resentatives of the state university
Ut Iowa City after making an investl'
cation of factories throughout the
eastern part of Iowa have presented
statistics to the state employers lia'
bility commission showing two ex'
ceptional facts. One is that their
statistics show an unusual amount OF
liability insurance is carried by Iowa
manufacturers and the other that II
has been found that the largest fac
tories Of the state have proportion
ately the smallest number of acct
dents. Paul Collier, Paul Black and
Mrs. S. X. Stevenson composed the
trio who conducted the research WORK
through eastern Iowa. Their statls'
tics will be taken under considera'
ton by the liability commission in de-
termining new methods of checking
accidents to workmen throughout
Iowa factories.
Some surprise was expressed in the
economics department at the state
university here this week when the
students statistics were presented
showing that practically every factory
owner visited carried liability insur'
ance amounting to from $1,000 to
$4,000 and in some cases $4,000. 1t
had not been supposed that this con-
dition was general throughout Iowa
industrial circles. The students have
listed in their reports the number OF
accidents in year at the various fac.
tories the kinds OF accidents, the
protection offered by safety devices
together with other similar informa'
ton.
