PASSING OF A
VENERABLE MAN
Venerable German Citizen, Born 1910,
Claimed by Death Angel on
Thursday. Jan. 20, 1914.
CAME TO CRAWFORD IN 1882
Made Hundreds Of Friends During
Long Residence-leaves Widow
and THEE Children

Charles Henry Thielmann passed
away at his home in East Denison on
Thursday, Jan. %, 1914, after an ILL
ness of short duration. Mr.. Thiel-
mann suffered with stroke of paraly-
sis ON the 18th of this month, and
death came as result. Last summer
he was overcome by the heat and it
is thought that this illness left him in
weakened condition.
The deceased was born in Kuraw,
Germany, Jan. s, 1910, and was, at the
time of his death, "a years and IA
days of age. He was united in mar
riage to the wife who survives him
May 3, 1868, the marriage taking
place in Germany. On the 2Sth of Oc-
tober, 1882, they came to America and
located in Crawford county, where
they have since resided. Mr.. Thiel-
mann had served in the German army
and had seen active service in the
Denmark war in 1863 and 1864 and al
so IN the German and French war in
1870 and 1871. His record as SOL
der was exemplary.
During his thirty-tWo years OF resi-
dence in this county he has made
numerous friends and all who knew
him admired him for his strict integ-
rity and thrift and his good qualities
were numerous. He was very much
devoted to his family and it was a
great satisfaction to him to live to
see them grown to manhood and wo-
manhood and we'll started on their
life's journey.
Besides the sorrowing widow he
leaves to mourn his death three chill
dren, namely: John, of Charter Oak;
August. residing at home, and Mrs.
Dorotlia Hendricksen, wife of Hans
Hendricksen, residing south of town.
Funeral services were held Satur-
day afternoon at 1870 o'clock at the
German Methodist church, Rev. Lem
Ike officiating, after which interment
was made in Oakland cemetery.

pAsTARDLY CONDUCT !,
Miscreants Who Threw Eggs Against
Office of Dr.. HoIke Friday Eve
nina Have Little Pride.

The miscreants who threw the eggs
against the office and windows OF Or.
Holke on Friday night of last week
would take little pride In having
the public know just who they are.
The man who can amuse himself by
indulging in such dastardly conduct
is not entitled to very much respect
and if known would probably feel the
censure of public sentiment against
him.
Such conduct is criticized by all the
people in the north when it occurs IN
the south and we naturally look upon
a. section of the country where such
things occur as inhabited by ignorant
people and criminals, and when 1t &C.
ours here in Iowa the community feels
the disgrace of the degenerate VINO
would indulge in such behavior.
DR.. Holke may have his faults, but
he comes under the protection OF the
law, and until he forfeits the right to
the protection of the law, it is an
outrage that such an assault should
he made. If DR.. Holke INDUCES IN
any practice that makes him violat-
or of the law, let the law deal with
him, but until he does, no one has
the right to take the law into his own
hands and commit such disgraceful
acts as occurred Friday night. Denison
cannot afford to permit these disgrace
full acts without suffering in its good
reputation.

SAD ACCIDENT
AT WEST SIDE
Vincent Tarpy; Son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thos. Tarpy Accidentally
Shoots Himself.
CHARGE FROM 1oeAUcE GUN
Receives Full Charge Of Shotgun in
Base of the Brain. instantly
Causing His Death.

West Side. Jan. 27-(Special to the
Review)-One of the most terrible
and grief strickening accidents hap
pened Sunday afternoon, when Vim
cent Tarpy, the youngest son OF Mr..
and Mrs. Thos. Tarpy, was shot and
instantly killed by the accidental dis
charge of a double barrel 10 gauge
shotgun.
Vincent left home Sunday noon, &C
companied by his brother, John, and
two friends, Adolph and Henry
Mumm, on hunting trip southwest OF
West Side, and having bagged enough
game for the day they were returning
home in the b. sSy and were just three
miles west of this city when the fatal
accident occurred. He had forgotten
to take the shells out of the gun and
in some manner or other, whether
due to the jolting of the buggy or by
someone coming in contact with the
hammer of the gun, the weapon was
discharged, the full charge hitting
him in the throat below the jaw and
lodging in the base of the brain, caus-
ing instant death.
This is by far the most sorrowful
accident that has occurred in this To-
cality for many years. 1t seems hard
to believe that the boy we saw in
the best spirits early Sunday morning
is now no more and it is still harder
to believe that one so young and just
beginning to enjoy this world must
be called so suddenly from our midst
without a minutes warning. But 1T
is the will of God and whatever He
does is for the best.
We extend our heartfelt sympathy
to the bereaved parents, sisters and
brother in their great loss. 1nterment
will be made from St. AIMS church
at Vail Wednesday morning. Obituary

Fabulous Price.
SALES WERE OF MUCH INTEREST
Aberdeen Angus Sell for $3.50 Per
.cwt, Highest Price Ever Been
Paid for Feeders.

Jacob Weiss returned Friday from
Denver, Colo, where he spent several
days attending the Denver Live Stock
show. Mr.. Weiss says that the cattle
exhibited were mostly feeders and
that they sold for prices that were
almost out Of reason. He has handed
us the following sales which will be
of interest to the farmers of this
county:
"The reserve champion feeders, An
gus calves shown by N. L. Harrison,
Roggen, Colo, sold to A. w. Bragg,
Tuscola, ILL.,, for $13.10-the highest
price ever paid anywhere for feeder
cattle. There were 20 head in the
bunch and they averaged 602 pounds.
The first eleven cars through the ring
brought an average price of 1899.
Sales of prize winners were as fol-
lows: Grand champion feeders, shown
by Jones Cattle company, Kremming,
Colo, (Herefords) sold to Wells, An

club are taking up the matter with a
large concern in Omaha and it is
hoped that they may be induced to
start such an association in Denison.
Some of our business men are of the
opinion that the Denison brick yards
could be made paying investment
for company if the business was
taken charge of by good manager.
We understand that the present plant
has capacity for making in the
neighborhood of two million brick per
year, and as there are no brick plants
i'll this locality there would be a
ready market for Denisons product.
4 sample of the clay was sent to Des
Moines some time ago to be made in
to bricks by what is called the dry
process. Using this process the
brick made from Denison clay is of
fine quality and would retail for $S5

The matter of scarcity of available
homes in our city was discussed and
action will be taken to interest some
building and loan association to come
to Denison and erect homes. A num-
Der OF Iowa cities have such associa-

time mean much in building up the
town. Denison would today have a

plenty of nice modern dwellings
available for rental purposes. We

secure relief. While he suffered Sc
verely for several weeks prior to his
death, he made brave fight for re-
covery, and only a few days before
his death withstood hard trip to
Excelsior Springs, Mo-, where he had
hoped to gain some relief While at
Excelsior Springs he became sudden
ly worse and at his request was
brought back to his home north of
Vail, where he passed away few
hours after his return.
Mr.. Finneran was born and reared
near here, where he had spent his en-
tire life. While only young man 81
years of age, he had made success
of life and was admired by all who
knew him for his sterling worth and
fine character. The heartfelt SYM
pathy of the entire community goes
out to the members of his family. He
leaves to mourn his untimely death,
besides his beloved mother, five sis
tiers and eight brothers, namely: Mrs.
