Mr.. Moore plans to move to a five
acre tract belonging to the family
estate and located at Webster City.
He will give his attention to the cul-
tivation of the tract and to study,
and hopes by this course to permit
Mrs. Moore the rest and outdoor
quiet which it is believed will COM
pletely restore her health.-Sac City
Sun.
Rev. Hugh Moore was raised in
Webster City, being a son of the late
Rev. Jesse Moore, one of the pioneer
pastors of this vicinity. He was first
pastor of the Christian church at
Homer, perhaps forty-fve years ago
and later was pastor of the Cass
Center church, also supplied the pull
pit at Pleasant Hill and other places
In the county. The elder Mr.. Moore
died at his home about a mile north
of the city perhaps thirty years ago
and his wife, Mrs. D. M. Moore, died
there last summer. Rev. Hugh
Moore is a brother of Miss Agnes
Moore of this city. The family were
highly respected by everybody here
and their many friends will be glad
to know that Mr.. Moore is going to
return to Webster City and make his
home.

The Churches and Sunday Schools
Have Unusually Large
Attendances.
MUSIC AND FLOWERS FITTING.
Sunrise Prayer Meeting Begins the
Day-Appropriate Ser
mons by Pastors.

In spite Of the threatening predic.
tions by the weather man of the
weather for Easter Sunday not good
for Easter bonnets, the day dawned
clear and balmy and continued so.
1t was in reality the first day Of real
spring which we have had, and ev-
cry church and Sunday school re-
ports large attendance for the day.
The parade of new headgear was
perhaps larger than usual, although
the lack of it did not keep those so
inclined from the divine services of
the day.
The children of the Sunday school
of the Methodist church gave a
short program in the morning Of
songs and recitations fitting to the
occasion, and in the evening the
Mems Choir of the same church
gave a fine musical program, assist
ed by the soloists, 2. c. Roberts and
Mrs. u. Il. McCaulln, to packed
house.
The service of the day at the Uni
versalist church was given at 10:30
O'Clock and an appropriate musical
program preceded the sermon.
The attendance at the. Congrega-
tional church both morning and ev-
ening was very large. The music
by the large chorus choir at both
services was unusually fine and the
sermon by the pastor at the morn
ing service on Immortality" was an
exceptionally strong Easter address.
The attendance of the knights Tenn
plar at the morning meeting added
special interest to the occasion.

DEMOCRATS Sc
LECT CANDIDATES
Hold a Convention at the City Hall
and Place Three Men in
Nomination.

A number of democrats held a
convention Friday afternoon at
the city hall and nominated three
candidates for county offices. John
III. Sparboe of Scott will be the can
didate for representative, c. F. Bish-
op Of this city for clerk of the
courts, and G.. D. Richards also of
this city for sheriff. These were the
only candidates selected but the
democrats say they will have a full
ticket in the field in a few days.
Practically every precinct in the
county was represented and local
democrats state that the meeting
was the best that has been held in
Hamilton county for years.
Are the democrats opposed to the
primary plan of making nomina-
tions? Such meetings or conventions
as that of yesterday look like an at
tempt to foreclose the field against
other aspiring candidates?

Horse KILLED IN
RUNAWAY ACCIDENT
Animal Belonging to Robert Nc
Collough Dies Hour After
Injury.

Robert Mccullough, who recently
took charge OF the Standard Oil
station in this city, had piece OF
hard luck in losing horse Fri
day afternoon. He was driving into
town from the west, having been to
Duncombe, and the team became
frightened and started to run as Mr..
turned into Third street.
One of them tripped upon something
and was thrown, practically turn
ing a somersault, so severely injur-
ing it internally that it lived only
an hour afterward The horse was
quite valuable and the loss is severe
ly felt by Mr.. Mccullough, as the
animal was worth considerable to
him in his business.

JUDGE COOKS LAST
CASE NOW IN COURT
Former Well Known Webster City
Attorney to Retire Soon
From Practice.

Des Moines, April 13.-Judge J.
G. Cook, the veteran attorney for
the Milwaukee railroad, once more
argued to the supreme court the ia
nous case involving a mile of rail-
road in Des Moines. The case has
been pending number of years. On
the previous submission of the case
nearly two years ago, Judge Cook
was confronted by N. T. Guernsey,
the lawyer who went to New York
on $4,000 salary from the tele-
phone people. But Cook won his
case and the decree was that the
Milwaukee railroad company owns
the mile of track which for many
years has been in possession of the
Des Moines Union. This time Par
rish and Parker made the argument
for the Hubbells in an effort to in
duce the court to reverse itself
Judge Cook very likely will never
argue another case in the supreme
court. He long ago said that when
he had finished this case he would
retire, and his health has been so
poor that it was with difficulty he
has remained with the case to the
present time.

other at II a. m. The music was O.

the day. The first service was il
charge Of the regular pastor, Rev
H. A. Koenig, while the second was
in charge of Rev. H. Wiese of Aus
tralia, who gave a brilliant address
to packed house.
The English Lutheran Sunday
school gave short program in the
evening to good audience, the
church being elaborately decorated
with Easter lilies, primroses, ferns
and other greenery.
The young people of the Christian
Sunday school successfully gave an
Easter Cantata entitled "Resurrec-
tion Rays" assisted by the chorus
choir. The decorations were in
keeping with the cantata, being a
representation Of an open tomb with
the stone rolled away. The house
was taxed to it's upmost seating ca
pacity at the evening service. A
sunrise prayer meeting held by the
Y. P. S. C. E. in the morning at 6
O'Clock brought out about forty
young people, and all the services of
the day were largely attended.
After the evening services, the
lilies and other flowers were with
no exception taken to the sick of the
membership. Those flowers forming
the decorations at the Congrega-

by the Masonic order were sent to
the homes where in past years

.CONMIT A VERY
SERIOUS 0FFENSE
Joy Riders Break Into Hanson &
Tyler's Garage and Take Two
Automobiles.
WERE OUT NEARLY ALL NIGHT.
Took a Fine $2,250 Lozier and an
Overland-Returned Them
Next Morning.
WERE OUT NEARLY ALL NIGHT

4 number of joy riders had a big
time Saturday night with couple
of cars belonging to the Hanson
Tyler garage in this city. They
broke in the back window, opening
the rear door from the inside. There
were a number of old cars in the
back part of the garage, but the JOY
riders did not want any of them.
They preferred to have the best. Ac-
cordingly they run the old cars out
into the alley and selected a fine
Lozier, one of the best in stock, and
took it out for spin. They also
took one of the 1914 model Over
lands. The next morning the Lozier
was found on Des Moines street in
front of Mr. Burnett's restaurant
and the Overland was found on Di-
vision street near the garage. The
Overland suffered little from the
treatment further than a broken
fender, but the Lozier was quite bad
ly damaged. The glass in one of
the front lights was broken out and
one of the tenders was badly bent.
But the worst damage occurred to
the engine. It appears that the car
was badly used, having been run at
high speed when there was little or
no water in the radiator, and as a
result the engine was greatly injur-
ed by being over-heated and it will
probably be necessary to send it
back to the factory for repairs.
Who the culprits are is unknown
and thus far there is no clue to their
identity. The fact that they broke
into the garage in the night time
makes the offense very serious, the
penalty being a term in the peniten-
tiary if the guilty are found and the
matter pushed. A number Of peo-
pie of the city report having heard
cars during the night going at ter
rifle speed and it is supposed the Joy
riders put in a part of their time
riding about town, which would in
dicate their recklessness and fear-
lessness.

ANOTHER CONGRESS
S|0NAL CANDIDATE
Fort Dodge Has One in the Person
of D. NJ. Kelleher, who is a
Democrat.

Politics in the Tenth district
promise to be unusually warm this
summer and fall and the democrats
evidently think they have a fighting
chance to win. Accordingly D. NJ.
Kelleher of FIT. Dodge has announc-
ed his candidacy on the democratic
ticket. He is one of the best known
lawyers of the district and is ac-
counted one of the ablest orators in
Fort Dodge. The republicans of the
Tenth district will hope that Mr.
Kelleher will not challenge the Hon.
Frank P. Woods for joint debate,
as he is so far ahead of our congress-
man in point of ability and the quail
ity of discussing questions from the
public rostrum that there would be
nothing left for Mr.. Woods to do
but to decline to meet him in the
forum. Judge Quarton, however,
might consent TO meet Mr. Kelleher,
as he is an orator Of no mean abil-
itv.

LIVERY BARN IS DESTROYED

stratford, April 14.-special to
the Freeman-Tr Tribune: Stratford
had another bad fire Saturday night
which resulted in the loss of hui
man life and in which fifteen horses
perished. At $3.50 fire was discover
ed in the barn belonging to J. B.
Hook and o. F. Swanson and run as
a livery stable by Oscar Lund and
John Anderson. 1t is supposed the
fire started in a manger and it's or
igin is unknown. It is thought it
was the result of the carelessness of
someone who might have thrown a
lighted cigar or match into the hay
The flames spread rapidly. John
Anderson, one of the proprietors of
the livery, entered the burning
building in an attempt to save the
horses and was never seen alive
again. About midnight the fire was
under control and the remains of
Mr.. Anderson were found. Identi
fication could only be made by a
careful examination. The dead man
suffered broken leg upon three
different occasions and this fact en-
abled the Identification of the body.
It was known, however, that it was
Mr. Anderson. as a number of people
saw him go into the barn. Fifteen
head of horses were also destroyed,
six of which belonged to the livery
stable equipment and the others
were the property of farmers who
had left them in the barn. Some
buggies, harness, grain, hay, ETC.,
were also destroyed.
John Anderson was a single man,
about forty-two years of age. He
made his home with his mother.

Rev. Hugh Moore Resigns Passionate
of First Baptist Church Of
Sac City.

Another Sac City pulpit is to be
vacant because of the resignation OF
the minister. The Rev. Hugh F.
Moore, pastor of the First Baptist
church of Sac City, at business
meeting of the members of the
church last Thursday evening an
nounced that in accordance with a
plan formed year ago, he had de-
cided to tender his resignation to
take effect May 1 next. 1t was
voted 10 accept the pastors resigna-
ton, subject to approval by the
state missionary secretary. The
approval under the circumstances,
doubtless will be forthcoming.
Mr.. Moore came to Sac City as a
pastor in June, 1912, and he has won
an enviable place in the hearts of
his people and Of the people of Sac
City generally; he is faithful in his
PASTORAL duties and is, moreover, a
strong preacher, practical and alert
to present day needs. The Sun
understands that the controlling
motive in his decision to quit the
Sac City pulpit is a desire to take a
rest of a number of months from
ministerial work in order to afford
an opportunity for his wife to re-
cover her health, which has been
broken down prior to their coming
to Sac City and had not been fully
restored when they located here.
