Death Of Father Fitzpatrick

Father Mcdonald of this city received

last week of the death of distant rela-
tive, Father Fitzpatrick, who passed
away on Wednesday April 90 while a
victim of pneumonia at st. Joseph's
hospital, Denver, Colo. De was ill but
few days. Father Fitzpatrick was
well known to a number of Audubon
people, having visited here ON numerous
occasions and celebrated Mass in the
absence of Father Mcdonald. The
deceased was native of County Carlow,
Ireland, born in October 1865 and i'm
igrated to America in 1892. He was
pastor of the Holy Family parish in
Omaha about Is years, and where he
remained until about two years ago
when he was forced to resign ON account
of i'll health. The greater part of the
past year, Father Fitzpatrick spent at
his old home in Ireland, returning to
America only last September when he
went to Cheyenne, Wyo., in the capa-
city of assistant to Bishop McGovern
at the Cathedral parish. and where he
remained until about month ago.
The news of his unexpected death
comes as distinct shock to his numer.
Gus friends in Omaha, Audubon and
elsewhere.

Mitchell Cars Purchased by General Villa

Warfare in Mexico, conducted gen
orally in regions where the horse is the
most dependable medium of transport
tion; has developed q big factor in the
economic transactions In neighboring
United States territory. according to
Captain Alfonso Yberri, confidential
agent to General Villa, who recently
made a trip to Los Angeles to inspect
the offerings on the automobile row of
the City of Angels, Villas gigantic
operations against Torreon, although
somewhat successfully yelled from the
view of correspondents. have been
pushed to climax by the aid of motor
squads and high-powered, dependable
automobiles capable of standing up
over the rough usage given by dashes
over plateau country without roads
have been in such great demand that
the rebel chieftain had to send his
agent to the neal est big source of supply
in the United States to get this motor
car equipment. rsN ri
Captain Yberri put up at the Hotel
Westminster, in Los Angeles, and
seeking Billy" Williams. of the Greer
Robbins Company, Captain Yberri
took several demonstrations in Mitchell
cars. .r Es m
~ Possessing considerable technical in,
formation about motor cars, the Mexi-
can selected the Mitchell, and on every
demonstration d. manded the most
strenuous test that could be given in
TINT portion of California, requiring
tbs, Mitchell to go through rough and
sandy ground and up hills that were
scarcely marked by trails. His favorite
show grounds were the Arroyo Seco
and surrounding districts where the
heavy houiders strewn over the yielding
sand offered serious distinctions to cars
that had inadequate power or frail
construction. r.
The Mexican officer had plenty of
cash-he realized when he made his
trip to Los Angeles that he could get
delivery only by paying cash, and in
advance and departed after placing
his order for Mitchell with the promise
that he might return, if success con-
tinued to come to the Villa forces, to
purchase several more cars made at the
Mitchell Lewis plant in Racine, Wis
consin. His compliment to the Mitchell
earned him the gratitude of the Cali
fornia dealers in this car, as it came
through every demonstration with,
credit, meriting the appreciation of the
officer who mapped out its demonstra-
ton trip.

Letters Containing Favorable CON-
ments on His Success in Secur.
ing R. l. Investigation

Since the Introduction of a resolution
for an investigation of the affairs of the
Rock Island by Congressman Green,
less than three months ago, great
many letters have poured into his Office
at Washington urging the Importance
of the investigation and cOngratulating
him on his course. The correspondence
has come not only from the patrons, the
independent bond and stock holders but
from the employees and operatives of
the road. Many prominent men from
all parts of the country who have no
personal acquaintance with Judge Green
but who have been keeping their fingers
on the financial pulse of the railroads,
have written him commenting his
course and offering valuable informa-
ton and assistance.
Last week, when the Interstate Com
merce Commission ordered the investi-
cation, called for by Judge Green's reso.
luton, men in all parts of the country,
who are keenly interested in the pro-
gress of proposed investigation indicated
their satisfaction in letters to the Iowa
Congressman. The following is a
sample
A. A. Graham, Attorney at Law,
Topeka, Kans., April 70, 1914.
Hon. w. Il. Green, Member of Congress,
Washington, DC.
My Dear Sir:
The papers contain a Washington
item this morning to the effect that
your resolution for an investigation of
the Rock Island has gone through and
that the Interstate Commission will
pursue the matter in connection with
the physical valuation of railway pro.
rerty. / congratulate you upon this
happy event.
The investigations Frisco and
Rock Island do more than any
thing else toward finally correctly solv-
ing the transportation question
in this country; and, at the same time,
compel personal decency on the part of
the projectors.
IT you are candidate for re. election,
and hope you are, this one effort should
insure your success. The country needs
more men like you, men who will fear
lessly go into the breach in the face of
great opposition, and obtain their point
This is a real service to the whole
country" Yours Very Truly,
(Signed) A. A. Graham.

Audubon Loses Close Game

Last Sunday afternoon the Audubon
baseball team played an exciting game
Of ball with the strong Elk Horn nine
on the latter's field. Elk Horn won by
a score of 3 to 2 in IA hard fought inn
ings, which shows that both teams were
very evenly matched. Had it not been
for muffed fly ball when Kline and
Kissick ran into each other, the game
might have been won by Audubon and
the game extended several innings.
Several double plays by Audubon made
the game Interesting.
During the progress of the game A.
johnson received an injury to his leg
when one of the Elk Horn players ran
into him at End base and Harley Stat.
ford was substituted. A large and or,
derby crowd attended the game, quite q
number of fans from here being present.
Griswold will play here next Sunday.
Come out everybody, and boost for the
home team. The Audubon ball team
has ordered new uniforms which will
probably see service in next Sundays
game.

Gave The Opening Concert in Park

The Audubon Cornet band gave its
open air concert, the first of the season,
in the park last Saturday night. Dur
ing the winter months, the boys have
practiced faithfully, and the music this
aggregation of musicians produced was
of much better quality than we en-
joyed last season. The Saturday even
ing concerts will prove very popular. A
large crowd was out to hear the band
Saturday night and as the weather be-
comes warmer the crowds will increase.
The band should be given every en-
couragement possible. The members
of the organizatxn put in their time
gratis and do notseven make a charge
for music furnished on Decoration Day
1t is the intention of the band to give
these open air concerts every Saturday
evening during the summer months.
