DEATH OF CONRAD MILLER

Word reached Audubon early Sun
day morning of the death of Conrad
Miller, living twelve miles northeast
of town. The announcement came as
a distinct shock, for a large number
of his friends were not aware of his
illness. Only two weeks before he
seemed in the best of health. A car
buncle caused him considerable pain
but it was not thought that the mat
ter would result in anything serious
1t later developed that a carbuncle
was the primary cause of blood pois-
oning and this brought on lock jaw
from which he died.
Mr.. Miller was a man highly re-
spected by all who knew him and
was considered one of Audubon
county's most progressive and pros
porous farmers. By his industry and
integrity he was able to accumulate
sufficient amount of this worlds
goods to leave his large family in
comfort. He was splendid neighbor
and a good christian.
Conrad Miller was born Sept. z,
1865 in Hatzbach, Kreis Kirchheim,
Germany, and died at his home ON his
farm in Lincoln township Sunday,
Nov. /, 1914.
The deceased received holy bapt-
ism as small child, and later, at the
age of IA, was, after being thorough
ly instructed in the doctrine of the
Evangelical church of Prussia, TAX
en- into the church through confirm
alton.
He immigrated to America in 1882
Six years later he was united in mar.
riage TO Miss Bertha Dittmann. TIC
this union nine children were born
four sons and five daughters, all OF
whom are living.
The deceased was taken sick two
weeks ago, a carbuncle which result
ed in blood poisoning and lock jaw
brought his earthly life to an end.
Last Saturday he received absolution
and holy communion. The deceased
is mourned by his loving wife and
nine children, for brothers, three OF
them in Germany, and one, William,
resides near Audubon, two sisters
one in Germany and the other one

THIRTY DAYS MAY
 COOL HIS ARD0UR

Peter Barnowitcl of ss West ave- nue thought that 1t was mighty hard lines to be arraigned at today.s city court session for assaulting Nellie Pe4ritis. sss Main street, when, as he ssffE.aha merely meant to hug her and ask to be forgiven. But, according to nzeIIie.< his hands somehow got around her throat and she did not consider his actions to be of the loving type. Anyway. she objected, called for as sigtance and had Peter arrested. Judge ccughIfn thought that about 30 days in jail would cool Peters ardent woo ing
 Nellie said that Peter had been go- ing with her for about three years. that they were engaEed. to be married but that his love for intoxicating H. quors had forced her to turn him down.
