SUSPICIOUS DROWNING
FRED KOOPERSCHMIDT OF DU-
BUQUE, FOUND DEAD IN WA
TER NEAR KIMBALL PARK.

Sheriff Frank He'll and acting Dis
trict Attorney F. c. Meyer, were call
ed to southern Grant county last Fri
day afternoon on report that Fred
Kooperschmidt, aged 60, a resident OF
Dubuque, had met his death by drown
ing near the Eagle Point high bridge
on the Wisconsin side of the river.
According to David Hug, fisher
man, and John Hamel, proprietor OF
a nearby saloon, the body was found
in less than feet of water on Thurs
day morning. 1t seems that Hooper
schmidt and son and brother had
been at the saloon on Wednesday even
ing, leaving there for Dubuque on
foot about 10 o'clock. A few minutes
later young KoOperschmidt returned
saying that his father had been
drowned. Mr.. Hamel went with him
along the road which at present is
surrounded by high water, and called
a number of times. No answer was
received and the men gave it up. The
next morning early Ray Sigwarth, en-
ployed by Fred Skemp on road work,
found the body half submerged in
shallow water and reported the mat
ter.
The Dubuque coroner, DR.. Fullerton,
stated over the phone that no marks
of violence were found on the body.
It seems queer, nevertheless, that
the man could roll underneath the
guard fence, down a bank ten feet
and turn around with his head to the
shore, drowning in shallow water.
On the other hand Kooperschmidt
may have been intoxicated, and with
out control of his faculties.
The affair may be further looked
into.

GAINS MADE IN
MONEY ORDERS At
LOCAL POSTOFF|CE

According to figures furnished the
Herald the local pOstOffice issued g.
679 domestic money orders during the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1916. This
Is an increase Of IA over the year
preceding when $685. orders were is
sued. The total sum of the orders
was S51,96S.29, which exceeds last
year by S7,13O. The fees on last
years orders were S44O.12 with S535.41
fees on the orders for this year.
The money paid out on foreign Or
der business has dropped from last
year owing to the war This year on
II S2S5.1O in orders was paid out,
while last year the amount was SILL
so.
The orders cashed during the year
amounted to S13.OO4.62 which is a de-
crease from last year when $15,666.70
was paid out on cashed orders.
The foreign order business has been
almost negligible for the past two
years as only four orders have been is
sued in all.

TREMENDOUS PHOTO SPECTACLE

]. D. Hatch in bringing that ire
mendous photo spectacle, The Birth
Of a Nation" to Lancaster, deserves
the credit and hearty support from
the public. Not that Mr.. Hatch ar
ranged for the play just to add to the
glory of Lancaster as an entertain
ment center-he expects to make a
financial success of it and deserves
to do So Perhaps no play has re
ceived wider advertising from its pa
irons than this one and therefore lit
tie can be said about it that the pub
lie does not already know. Without
agreeing entirely with its theme, it
must be conceded that THE Birth of
a Nation" is wonderful and we'll worth
seeing, whether one has seen it be
fore or not.
If you haven't seen it, try and do so,
If you have you probably will want
to do so again.

air concerts on the last two Thurs
day evenings and will continue to do
so throughout the summer. The only
exception will be this week, when the

H. L. Booth of Savanna, Ill, is the
director now and he seems to be the
best vet. Mr.. Booth plays cornet him
self in a very artistic manner.
Last Thursday evenings concert re
ceived generous but deserved applause
from a large crowd, the cornet work
of Elmer Schmidt in the Bridal Rose
Overture and that of ''Howdy'' Rich
ardsOn in Garland Entry" on the tu-
ba, being especially notable.
Lancaster, as usual, extends extends
a cordial invitation to Grant county
for the weekly concerts.

TRU|TT CAR FOUND
NEAR DEWITT, IOWA
MARSHAL OF VILLAGE REPORTED
SAME LAST THURSDAY-RE-
TURNED SUNDAY.-TRIV-
IAL DAMAGE.

A. H. Truitt was highly gratified last
Thursday evening to receive word
from the Dubuque chief of police adj
vising that his car had been located
at Dewitt, Iowa. Mrs. Truitt received
the word and was so excited that she
didn't ask any questions.
Mr.. Truitt purchased the car, a
Buick D 45, three weeks ago, paying
$1O50 for it. He lost it on circus day
at Dubuque on July II.
The Dubuque police were notified
and 500 post cards mailed out to the
marshals in all the small towns with
in 100 miles of Dubuque. On the card
were the words, $500 Reward" in big
type and no doubt this is what pro-
duced results. Mr.. Truitt was care
full to put the factory number and en-
CINE number on the card, as in all
likelihood these would not be changed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Truitt left Lancaster
Sunday evening at o'clock and ar
rived at Dewitt at II o'clock. They
found that the robber had taken the
car to a farmer named Oostberg, who
lived about two miles out of Dewitt,
day or so before. At that time the
car was out of commission. The
stranger represented that he desired to
leave the car until he obtained repairs
from Dewitt. Permission was grant
ed and he, of course, ''vamoosed."
Marshal Moore of Dewitt, heard OF
the car being left and at about the
same time received the card. The rest
Of course, is obvious.
Little damage was done to the car.
The trouble which halted the robber
was simply a defect in the brakes
which Mr.. Truitt made right in few
minutes. The lock and chain had been
broken by the simple expedient OF
starting the car. The machine num-

A HARDY YOUNGSTER.
RAYMOND Weber, Aged 3, Victim of a
Cycle OF Injuries.

Raymond Weber, aged years, son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Weber, had
an eventful career in his short but
checkered existence.
The latest mishap coming to Ray
mOnd was on Thursday afternoon,
when the little fellow fell against a
door and cut a cash in his forehead.
Raymond came up town to hear
the band concert Thursday night
with his head bound up, but other
wise o. X. The day before he was
playing with his brother, Paul, aged
s. a pitchfork being one of the toys.
Raymond tripped over the fork and a
tine stuck him in the leg. That even
ing he got in the way of his fathers
rocking chair and had his fingers rock
ed on so that he emitted a large-sized
howl
Raymond's adventures started a
year ago when he fell from his baby
crib and split his tongue in manner
that required several stitches. Ray
mond seems to be of a hardy nature
and cares little for his many acct
dents.

ANCE TUESDAY NIGHT TO

AND OTHER MEASURES.

After several ineffective attempts to
hold a council meeting enough alder
men assembled at the city hall last

and weather or no weather, they got
down to business and transacted the
following matters.
A dog ordinance, which is printed
elsewhere, fixes the tax on male dogs
and spayed females at one dollar. For
unspayed females the charge will be
two dollars, and the city police have
authority to dispatch any dog found
running at large without a tag.
The June bill of the Electric COM
pany was taken up and the matter of
outages discussed. Mr.. j. f. Taylor
reported ten outages or failures of
current during the month the electric
company acknowledging four of them.
The city council unanimously voted
to accept Mr.. Taylor's report.
Attorney F. c. Meyer read an Cd
dinance pertaining to the keeping OF
animals within the city limits and
the disposal of manure by using clos
ed bins. Some discussion was held
pro and con, but the ordinance was
tabled on the grounds that it would
be difficult to enforce and work a
hardship on farmers living within the
city limits.
Sidewalk ordinances as printed else
where, were passed.
Alderman Calvert read an ordinance
authorizing the construction Of ma
cadam. water-bound, street on West
Elm. from Washington to Harrison

WILL BENEFIT BY TERMS
OF LATE WILLIAM MARSDEKS Will
$4,000 Various PurpOses-Ba
Will Be Devoted to Public Park and It's Maintenance.
Known AS 'Marsden' Park-Died Without Issue

Although Fennimore people may
universally regret the passing OF VIII
liam Marsden who died one week ago
last Friday, they will certainly have
no reason to doubt his regard for
them or the interest he took in the
welfare of their children.
Deals Generously by FennimOre.
William Marsden dealt generously
by Fennimore. Most generously, in
fact, for aside from a few slight be-
quests he gave that city all he had.
The will on file at the Office of the
county judge, tells the story simply,
and yet so cogently that it will, with
out doubt, stand in every respect.
Two Small Requests.
William Marsden in his last will
and testament, made by him before
Attorney Henry w. Brown of Lancas-
ter, on October %, 1909, made in the
first place a bequest of $500 to the
Methodist church of Preston. A like
bequest was left to the Ebenezer
cemetery located in Section 81, town
of Wingville and the balance as fol-
lows:
$4,000 to Sch0Oi District.
William Marsden decreed that
should he die without issue, $4,000
should be placed in the hands Of a
trustee The interest on this sum
should be given to School District No.
4, town of Fennimore. That the
school directors should award this
money in two parasitic first part of
two-thirds to be given to the child
having the best standing in each study
taught and the second part OF one
third to be given to the child having
the second best standing. This be-
quest to stand in perpetuity.
$1,000 to High School.
William Marsden decreed that $4,-
900 should be placed at interest in
the hands of a trustee. The income
should be divided equally into two
cash prizes and given to the Fenni-
more high school. The principal of
the school to select two of the pupils
in the sophomore and junior classes
having the highest standings in the
studies taught. This sum in each
class to be divided among two pu-
pills the one having the highest stand
ing to receive two thirds and the one
having the second highest standing to
receive one-third.
University Scholarship, $4,000.
The next bequest was one Of $4,000,
also left for educational purposes. Mr..
Marsden stipulated that on the day fol-
lowing graduation day at Fennimore,
the principal of the high school should
designate the graduate having the
highest general standing. Then the
interest on the sum mentioned should
be divided into monthly installments
and given for four years to the gradu-
ate on condition that he or she attend
the University of Wisconsin for four
