Capt. ]. D. Brown, of this city,
who retired last week from the Of
flee of Commander of the Iowa De-
partment of the G: A. r., position
he has filled with great credit DUR
ing the past year, was presented
With-at~ handsome g A :. R.. badge at.
a meeting of the officers of the G. A..
R. held on Friday, in appreciation
of the splendid work he has done for
the boys of the G.. A.. R.. Capt.
Brown appreciates the gift to the ut
most and takes great pride in show
ing the beautiful badge to his

above anything which has ever been
given to me-, l shall wear it until
die and shall remember with un-
ceasing pleasure the feeling of the
boys who gave it to me-" Capt.

hardest working commanders the de-
partment ever had, and many of the
old boys are very grateful to him for
courtesies and favors extended to

n. w. POTTS FOUND DEAD AT
GRINNELL.
Former Well Known Druggist OF
Garden Grove, Died at Grim
- nell Last Saturday.

H, w. Potts, for many years
prominent druggist at Garden Grove
was found dead in his bed at Grin
nell last Saturday afternoon, ana
had been dead probably tWenty-four
hours before his, death was dlscov-
cred. A few months ago Mr.. Potts
purchased a drug store at Grlnnell,
but had not yet moved his family to
that city. He had a room at a prl-
vate house and took his meals at
restaurant. On last Friday shortly
after dinner he told his clerks that
he would go to his room and take
a nap. and did not want to be dis
turbed He had received word that
his daughter, Miss Gretchen, who
was attending the State University
at Iowa City, had just undergone
an operation, and this was known
by the clerks, so when he did not re-
turn to the store they supposed he
had gone over to Iowa City to see
her, and nothing was thought OF his
absence from the store. On Satur-
day afternoon one of the clerks re-
marked that perhaps it might be
we'll for them to see if he was in his
room as something might have hap
pened to him, and when they enter
ed his room they found him dead
on the bed. He had taken off his
coat and laid down and his hands
we're folded over his breast.
physician was called at once and he
reported that he had been dead all
of twenty-four hours, so it is sup
posed he died shortly after going to
his room. The physician made an
examination and found that his
death was caused from the bursting
Of a blood vessel in his brain, and
the coroner decided that no inquest
was necessary. Mrs. Potts who was
at Garden Grove, left at once on re-
ceiving news of her husbands death
and accompanied the remains to
Garden Grove on Sunday, the funer-
al being held the same afternoon.
The sudden death of Mr.. Potts was
a great shock to all the people at
Garden Grove, where he was most
highly regarded. He is survived by
his wife and two children.

handing sack of grain to his faith
er when he stepped his right foot

Paul has many friends who sympa-
thize with him in his misfortune,
for it. is pretty hard for a healthy
boy to be crippled up all summer.

Turned His Auto Over.

y Fred A. Townsend, the Leon in
surance man who skins all over De-
catur county in his Ford runabout
looking after his extensive insurance
business, had an experience one day
last week which he does not care to
repeat and is congratulating himself
that he escaped so lucky. He was
drifting down a big hill over near
Decatur, being on a road he was not
familiar with and when he reached
the bottom found sharp turn in
the road. He knew he could not
take the turn at the speed he was
going, so shut the engine off and
tried to drop the machine into a
ditch at the bottom as easily as pos
sible. The car took the ditch which
was about five feet deep all right
and started up the bank on the 9th
er side, and then as it stopped COM
menced to turn over. Fred thought
it was time to abandon the old boat
and jumped, escaping without a
scratch and saw the car turn turtle
and land upside down in the bottom
of the ditch. The wind shield was
smashed and the car bent up some,
but he was able to run it home after
securing assistance and getting it
out of the ditch.

James Grandstaf Injured at Des.
MOineS.

s James GraIdstaff, one of the we'll
known veterans of this city who at
tended the big reunion at Des
Moines last week, met with very
painful accident in that city about
1:oon on Thursday, while he was on
his way to the depot to take the
train for home. He was crossing the
street when a boy on bicycle ran
square into him, knocking him
down, and he fell to the pavement
with great force, cutting quite a
cash over his eye and bruising and
cutting his face quite badly. 1t was
thought for time that he was SER
iously, injured but he revived and
was able to take the train for home.
He has been confined to his home
ever since but his wounds are heal
ing nicely and there will be no per-
manent injuries, but the shock to a
man of his advanced age was a
severe one.

An Alton Accident.

There was considerable excite
ment at Alton one day last week,
over an accident to two ladies', each
of whom weighed over two hundred
pounds. The ladies went to an out
building in the rear of the opera
house, and their weight was too
much for the floor which broke
through with them and ahey were
precipitated into a deep vault almost
filed with water and filth. Their
Cries attracted assistance, but it was
a hard task to remove them from the
vault as the water was almost over
their heads. Both ladies were ready
to collapse when they were rescued
and it was necessary to outfit them
from hats to shoes, which was done
without expense to them, but they
will never forget their experience. :.
