ALONZO BRADISH DEAD.
Pioneer Citizen Passed Away Satu".
day, Was Over 30 Years of Age.

Alonzo Bradish, one of DEBORAH g
earliest settlers and pioneer business
men, passed away at his home OH
Broadway Saturday afternoon at one
o'clock. His death was caused by
acute indigestion and he was i'll only
few hours.
The deceased was born September
| 10, 1925, in jamestown, New York.
and therefore was 80 years, seven
months and three days old at the
time of his death. In an early day he
| left New York and located in Illinois.
On Sept. II, 1S4S, at Canton, Ill. he
was united in marriage to Miss Eliza
he crossed the plains to California,
seeking gold and was more or less
successful in his venture. The fol-
lowing year he returned to Illinois
and in 1852 came to DEBORAH, and
erected blacksmith shop on the lot
where the Public Opinion office now
stands. He also built a home across
the street, where the Grand opera
house is located. He operated his
blacksmith shop for some time, later
adding line of tinware, and then a
complete stock Of hardware. AS his
business grew, new quarters were
needed and he erected the store build
ing now occupied by Dahl & Mollart,
and operated hardware store there
until 1865, when he sold out the
business to Andrew Gullickson, and
retired from active work in that line.
By honest, upright dealings he ac-
cumulated a competency. For TWEEN
ty years he was vice president of the
National Bank of this city, and was
la competent and obliging official In
every particular. In the early days
here he officiated as a justice of the
peace and also as city alderman.
In lodge circles he was a very &C,
tive member of the l. o. o. F. IN
this county the lodge was originated
at Moneek On Oct. 26, 1854. Mi.
Bradish was one of the committee
sent to Ossian in 1858 to change the
charter to DEBORAH, and was after
wards the representative to the grand
lodge to have the name of the charteC
changed from Moneek Lodge to Win.
neshiek Lodge No. 5S.
Mr.. Bradish was a mag respected
and esteemed by all who had the
pleasure of knowing him. His life was
an upright, honorable one, and he
gained the good will and confidence
of all. He was one of Winneshiek'
pioneer citizens who witnessed the
greater part of the growth and pro-
gress of the county since he took up
his residence here in July 1852, and
scores of friends throughout the city
and county mourn his loss.
He is survived by his bereayed wife
and three children, one son and tws
daughters, Mrs. Mary Bones and joan
of this city and Mrs. Ella Gregg, IF
st. Paul, who have the sympathy of
all in the loss of this beloved hus-
band and father.
The funeral services were held
yesterday morning at ten O'Clock
from the home, Revs. Willett and Nc
Vettie officiating. Interment was in

He looked up at the dark bulk of
Chigringo. unrelieved even by the tiny
fieck of lamplight which he had so
often called his guiding star. Take
me out of your mind and heart and say
which you will have, little girl he
whispered, sending the words out into
the void of night. But only the din
and clamor of a city gone wild with
enthusiasm came to answer him. Some
where on the avenue a band was play
ing; men were shouting themselves
hoarse in excitement. and above the
shouting came the staccato cracking
of pistols and guns fired in air.
He struck the match and stopped
over the blue cylinder This is your
message of cheer, whether you take it
that way or not, he went on, whisper

the fuse OF the blue light was fairly
fixing he suddenly pinched it out and
held the match to the other.
Up on the high bench of the great

tiny stream of sparks shot up in the

stopped and held her breath. Then,

out the headquarters. the commissary
and the mess house, she sank in de-

The Feast of Hurrahs

Mirapolis the marvellous was hus-
thing, roaring, wide-open mining camp
of twenty thousand souls by the time
the railroad, straining every nerve and
crowding three shifts into the s4-hour
day, pushed its rails along the foothill
bench of Chigringo. tossed up its tenn
porary station buildings. and signaled
its opening for business by running a
mammoth excursion from the cities of
the immediate East.
Busy as it was, the city took time
to celebrate fittingly the event which
linked it to the outer world. BY proc
lamation Mayor Cartwright declared a
holiday. There were lavish displays
Of bunting. an impromptu trades pa
rade. speeches from the plaza band
stand. free lunches and free liquor
a day of boisterous, hilarious triumph
ings, with, incidentally. much buying
and selling and many transfers of the
precious front foot" or choice cor
ner."
Yielding to pressure, which was no
less imperative from below than from
above, BrouiIlard had consented to
suspend work on the great dam during
the day OF triumphs. and the recla-
nation service force, smaller now than
at any time since the beginning of the
undertaking, went to swell the crowds
on Chigringo avenue. Mr.. Cortvrght
had been memorable, and Brouillard
found himself discomfortingly empha-
sized as chairman of the civic recep-
ton committee.
1t was after his part of the speech
making. and while the plaza crowds
were still believing their approval Of
the modest forensic effort, that he
went to sit beside Miss Cartwright in
the temporary grand stand. hopping
his face and otherwise exhibiting the
after effects of the unfamiliar strain.
