Made Diligent Search, But Did
Not Hear From Him.
Kiron, April 22-Special-
Crosby Hewitt, who was born and
raised in this locality, dropped dead
recently in a hotel at St. Louis. 1t
will be remembered by many here of
his being sent from his home five
miles northwest of Kiron to Ida Grove
to attend school. 1t seems as if he
had no interest in school work and
finally one day he disappeared from
school. His distracted parents did ev
erything in their power to find him
and traced down every rumor of his
whereabouts without finding him. Last
fall he had written from an Illinois
town, saying that he was going to St.
Louis. Recently dispatch in Den
yer paper stated that Crosby Hewitt
had dropped dead in hotel at St.
Louis and a, friend of the Hewitts re-
siding at University Place, Neb, upon
reading same, wrote to them to see if
it might be the boy. The faher start
ed at once for st. Louis and returned
last week with the remains for burial
at Ida Grove. Crosby had fine home
and no trouble of any kind existing
between him and the family. His leav-
ing home was hard blow to his par
ents and now his death among strang-
ers and away from home is a blow
most severe. They have the deepest
sympathy of their neighbors and
friends.
Lillian Engberg, who has been
spending some time with friends at
Grand Island, returned home last
Wednesday.
Nellie Winquist returned the first of
the past week from her stay with rel
atives and friends at Alcester, S. D.
John Olson visited relatives and
looked after business last week at AL
cester, S. D.
Mrs. Gladys Probasco and baby ar
rived from Charter Oak last Thurs
day for visit at the Craig home,
southwest of town.
Bert Hunter severed his connection
with the Kiron livery barn last week
and left for new fields of activity.
While here Bert made many acquaint-
ances, who will now miss his familiar
figure.
Butcher Brogden moved his family
back to DelOit last week as his resi-
dence property there stood vacant and
no tenant could be secured, hence fig
uring that instead of paying house
rent here and his own standing vacant 1
he would be money ahead in moving
back into the same.
Andrew Larson, of Denison, spent
Thursday afternoon in Kiron making
arrangements for three visits a week
to Kiron for some time to give treat
ments for human ailments. Several
in this locality took treatments from
Mr.. Larson last fall while he was stay
ing at Boyer.
Alfred Larson, of Old Kiron, is car
rying his right arm in sling and will
be compelled to take q vacation from
his farm work for some time to come.
Thursday night in attempting to crank
the auto it back tired with such force
as to break his arm. This is surely
bad luck and making it more so owing
to the pressing farm work.
At the special council meeting last
Thursday evening Council G. A. No
relius handed in his resignation. MIR.
NOrelius has been constant town Of
fetal since it's incorporation and has
always been considered as one of it's [
most efficient members and his resig-
nation not alone caused considerable
surprise, but is generally regretted.
Always having the towns best inter 4
ests at heart, his work was given &C
cordingly.
Captain Throckmorton, a noted
slum worker in the large cities of the
Volunteers of America. gave an in
teresting lecture at the Baptist church
last Tuesday evening to large audi
ence. His talk about the personal
work of this organization among the :
fallen men and women in the slums,
which has been chiefly caused by the
liquor and it's traffic, was very inter- (
esting to his listeners.
KirOn will lose another good family
in the intended moving away of the I
Brashers. w. L. Brasher, assistant at ,
the Kir0n State bank, has resigned \
and expects to move his family to I
Dallas, Iowa, where he will accept a ?
good position in local bank in =
nearby town. 1t is regretted by all
to learn of the intentions of these Z
good people.
Arthur Benson spent last Sunday
visiting his sister and brother-in-law, Z
Mr.. and Mrs. Jos. Mengis at Odebolt.
Mr. Mengis, who has been quite sick,
is reported as somewhat better 7
