William Howell, Hamilton County
Resident for Fifty.Four Years,
Answers the Final
Summons.
DIED SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Commenced Blacksmithing in Web
ster City in 1seo-sick
Since November.

VIM. Howell, the pioneer black
smith of Webster City and Hamil-
ton county, died at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Jesse w. Lee, on
West Boone street, Saturday after
noon at $3.50 o'clock. He was taken
i'll last November, but was able to
be about and came down town occa-
sionally until about the first of jan
uary, since which time he was con-
fined to his room, most of the time
to his bed. He suffered from COM
plication of diseases incident to old
age and the end came Saturday as a
relief from much pain.
William Howell was born in the
state of Ohio. Nov. 10, 1892. He
was the son of Stephen D. and Mary
Howell. Nov. 22, 1856, he was
united in marriage to Elizabeth Ey-
er. and in 1858. he with his family
came to Hamilton county to make
their home. locating on farm
southeast of this city. In 1860 he
commenced blacksmithing in Web
ster City and followed his trade con-
tinuously for fifty years, conducting
business at Webster City, Hooks
Point, Vincent and Blairsbufg. His
last work was done at Blairsburg,
where at rs years OF age. he was
still working at the Jorge. For years
he was known as the pioneer
blacksmith" OF Webster City.
In his prime he was an expert
iron worker and hundreds of Ham
ilton county pioneers can testify to
his skill at tempering and welding
iron and steel. As a skilled work.
man. he was typical of his class. He
loved his work and was proud OF his
calling. His greatest ambition was
to be at work and with him inabil-
ity to work was the only excuse for
retiring.
He never sought or held public
Office and leaves no record of official
service, but he tempered pIows,
polished the shovels of the cultiva-
tors, mended and sharpened the
sickles of the mower and reaper and
welded the tires OF the wheels that
hauled the crops to market. He new
er received a dollar that was not
earned by the honest labor of his
hands. What better can be said of
man than that his life was spent
in service useful and necessary to
mankind.
To William and Elizabeth Howell
were born five children-Frank,
Henry, William. Mary and Hattie.

FUNERAL IN BLAIRsBURG
Represented This County in Legisla.
ture-Town of Blairsburg
Named After Him.

Hon Gilbert M. Blair, former
well known citizen of this county,
died at his home in Topeka, Kansas,
Sunday. J. G. McNee of Blairs-
burg, a cousin, of the deceased, re-
ceiyed a telegram yesterday no.
tifying him of Mr.. Blair's death. No
particulars We're received. The fun
eral service will be held in Blairs-
burg this afternoon and the

born in Delaware county, N Y,
June IA, 1889, and was sixteen
years of age when his parents came

rional advantages and taught school
number of terms. In 1866 he en-
tered government land in this coun-
ty and in 1867 settled on it and be-
gan to improve frontier farm. At
that time there was but one house
between Alden and Webster City, a
distance of twenty-se en- miles, and
the prairie was one unbroken tract
for miles, not a tree or shrub to be
seen. He lived on this land until
1871 and then located in Blairsburg

grain business until 1888, when he
moved to Webster City, and for two

ilton county at the time of his activ-
tiles in this vicinity will kindly re-
member Mr.. Blair and all will re-
gret to hear of his death.

Hon. Paul E. stillman Delivers an
Able Address at the Court
House on Sunday
Evening.
CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS.
On Account Of Inclement Weather
Attendance is not Very
Large.

Hon. Paul E. Stillman OF Jeffer-
son, speaker of the Iowa house Of
representatives and candidate for
congressman from this district, de-
livered a very wholesome address
along moral and religious lines at
the court house Sunday evening.
Mr.. Stillman said in his introduc-
ton that he proposed to give to the
audience what he thought was the
real meaning of life and would base
his remarks upon his own personal
experience.
His address was arranged under
three main headings which he chose
to call the chambers of mans mind.
He spoke first Of the business cham
ber upon the wall of which every
man would read the word success.
But his estimate Of success in bus
mess was probably different from
that in the popular mind. Success
he declared was to do ones best in
whatever field Of work he labored.
Secondly he spoke of the social
propensities of man which need and
demand Wholesome and helpful rec
reation In various forms. His line
of thought here was that each
should choose those recreations and
amusements which would be helpful
in Strengthening character and
avoid those the tendency of which is
to tear down.
The religious chamber was also
spoken of and declared by the speak
er to be as universal as either of the
other two, though 1t is common
belief that not all men are religious
This fact he fittingly illustrated by
an account of the dying prayers OF
those who went down recently with
the Titanic.
The entire address was the ex-
preston OF good sound sense and
advice and was delivered in an easy
tone which was very
pleasing to the audience.
The attendance at the meeting
was somewhat interfered with by
the threatening weather.

stopping. Another engine was Sc
cured, the, derailed mogul was at
tached to it, and an attempt to drag
it back to the rails was made. This
was tried unsucessfully almost all
through Saturday night. The men
then secured the engine jacks and
the monster was placed on them.
After working several hours in this
manner the huge engine was placed
back upon the track Many people
visited the scene Sunday.

his business to the H. E. Pringle

Mr.. Pratt is out of the city at

SMALL RESTAURANT
DESTROYED BY FIRE
E. Roswell, Owner Of Lunch Room,
is Left in Hard Circumstances
by Blaze.

E. Roswell, owner of a small res
taurant on West Second street, was
completely burned out by fire Satur-
day afternoon. Owing to the many
farmers in the city at the time the
blaze caused much excitement and
people crowded the street west Of
The Wilson.
The fire was caused by leak in a
small gasoline stove used in the res
taurant. The gasoline had been
leaking from the tank of the stove
for some time and when the propri-
etor touched a match to the burner,
the gasoline ignited and the entire
room was Immediately in flames. Mr.
Roswell turned in the fire alarm. BY
the time the fire department reach
ed the scene the flames Were burst
ing forth from the front of the
building. As the building adjoined
the Greeley wall paper store it was
feared for time that both would be
consumed However, the department
soon squelched the blaze. Mr.. Gree
ley closed both doors of his store and
the place escaped with no damage
whatever to his stock. The building
on the west of the restaurant, the
Wesley Whitman place, was also in
danger Of burning. Several times
the roof of this building caught fire
but was Immediately put out by the
firemen
Mr.. Roswell is in hard eircum-
stances as result of the fire. He
came to this city about three months
ago and having a meager aNzbunt Of
money purchased small stock for a
restaurant and set up in business.
Since then he has been improving
his stock and had all of his money
in the establishment. When the fire
was started he did not have time to
save any of his goods and every
thing, including some clothes,w went up
in smoke. The cash box in the place,
however, was rescued and contained
about So.
The building was owned by ]. l..

CONFLICTING RE-
PORTS RECEIVED
Many Rumors in Regard to Killing
of Frank Tunhouse of
Duncombe.

There seems to be considerable
mystery surrounding the reported
death of Frank Tunhouse, of Dun
combe, which occurred a few days
ago at Estelline, S. D. Saturdays
F'orf Dodge Messenger contains the
following item in relation to the
matter:
Frank Tunhouse, aged twenty
six, and a young lady friend whom
it is said he had intended to marry,
were shot and killed by an unknown
assailant in Estelline, S. D., several
days ago where Tunhouse, who lives
in Duncombe, went to visit his.
friends. She was a school teacher
and very prominent in social affairs
in the community in which she liv-
ed. The case is shrouded in mys-
terry. Details are very meagre that
have reached this city where rela-
tives of the young man live. John
Grell is his uncle. His father lived
in Fort Dodge many years ago.
Police in Estelline are probing
the double murder which, according
to dispatches, is said to have re-
suited from jealousy feud. The re-
mains of the young man will prob
ably be brought to Duncombe today.
The above story is cleaned by
relatives from Sioux City papers
containing a dispatch from Estel-
line. Conjectures at Duncomhe are
also formed which point to robbery
as a motive for the murder. Howev-
er, no authentic information further
than that the young man was killed,
has been received by his family"
Saturdays Fort Dodge Chronicle
gives the following version of the
affair:
Being refused the hand in mar
riage of a school teacher in Brook
ings county, Frank Tunhouse,
young man whose parents reside at
Duncombe, shot himself in the head
Wednesday afternoon at Watertown.
South Dakota, dying instantly. ac-
cording to report received in this
city today. The scene of the suicide
took place before the young lady
teacher and her school children at
what is known as the Kinny school
located about nine miles southwest
of the town of Estelline.
The young man had only been a
resident of that section for the past
five weeks, but had been an ardent
suitor for the hand of the young
school teacher who refused to con-
slider him in the light of prospect
i've husband He was looked upon
as very sensible young man and
his rash act caused sensation in
that neighborhood. His body will
be taken to the home of his parents
for burial"
