CHESTER SIRtS KILLED
Leon YeunQ Man Killed at Altamoot,
No., Sunday. Body Brought to
This City for lnterment.

Chester Sires, a we'll known young
man of Leon, who had been working
in Kansas City for some time, was
shot and fatally wounded by the city
marshal G. NJ. Finley, at Altamont,
Mo-, Sunday morning, and died in
hospital at St. Joe, Mo-, Monday
morning at 2 o'clock. Chester while
working in Kansas City fell from a
scaffOld a few weeks ago, and was
badly hurt, being taken to hospital
in that city. He had just been able
to get around and had started to so
to Centerville, Iowa, to visit broth
er. From press dispatch from Alta
mont to the st. Joe NeWs-PreSs, we
learn that he appeared at Altamont
Sunday morning on an early train,
and several parties noticed he was
acting queerly. Later it was said he
went to a house and asked for pro
lection from persons who were fol-
lowing him, and when an effort was
made to quiet him he ran from the
house and seized club and began
breaking windows in residences and
stores. The city marshal was called
and in attempting to take SireS into
custody he shot him. He was rush
ed to a hospital in st. Joe, and Civ
en- every attendtion but died the next
morning at O'Clock. It is supposed
that he was temporarily demented,
the result Of the accident a few
weeks before. His body was brought
to Leon Tuesday afternoon.

Iowa, three sisters, Ethel Shipman,
OF ST. Joe, Mo-, Verna and Loretta,
OF Leon, Iowa, two brothers, Arthur
OF Chicago, ILL.,, and Harlin of Cen
terville, Iowa. HIS father and one
brother are deceased.
About the first of the year Chester
was converted and was thoroughly
repentant OF his past life. He was
preparing to come home in the near
future at the time OF his DEATH When
in the hospital for the last time he
was conscious to the last, and just
before he died he tod his brother
that he was ready to go, and the ex-
preston on his face showed that he
was experiencing the JOY of saliva

Child Struck By Auto.

Gwendolyn, the little daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. V. F. Penniwell, was
struck by Harry Sells auto on north
Church street last Wednesday even
ing, but fortunately escaped with
slight cut on the head. MRS. Jas. F.
Harvey had number of children
out for ride in her car, and had
stopped in front of Pat Griffin,s resi-
dence to let some OF them out.
Among them was little Gwendolyn,
and after alighting from the car on
the side next to the curb, and being
cautioned by Mrs. Harvey to watch
out for cars, she ran around the
front of the Harvey car and did not
see Harry Sell coming from the
north in his car, and he could not
see the child. The little one ran
into the rear fender of Sells car,
and was struck over the eye, cutting
a cash which bled freely, but the in
jury was slight, and she was able
to go to school the following morn
ing The accident was regrettable
one, but Mr. Sell was in no way to
blame and everybody rejoiced over
the outcome. Had the child started
across fraction of a minute sooner
she would have run right in front
of the approaching car and probably
have been killed or badly injured.

Elected superintendent for Two
Years at Increased Salary.

of the osc.ola pu5ic scReols and
former resident of Decatur county,
having been at the head of the Van
Vert and Garden Grove schools, was
last week reelected as superintend-
ent of the Osceola public schools for
period of two years, at a salary of
1900 year, an increase of 500
per year over what he is receiving
now. The fact that the school board
elected him for two years, shows
that they do not want to let him
leave the Osceola schools, and it is
an innovation, as suDerintendents
are usually elected only for a year
at time. Prof. Reed is very pOpu-
lar at Osceola, and has been very
successful with his school work.

law at, Michigan and will be gradu

gible to play with the Michigan var
sity his work with the squad during
his first season at Michigan attract
ed Yost's attention to such an extent
that he selected McGinnis to handler
his yearllngs, which he has done
with marked success for the two
seasons.
Perhaps no institution in the
west could give a prospective coach
such valuable training as Michigan,
for being outside OF the big Nine.
Yost has been able to- meet the best

the variety of foot ball systems that
he has encountered are many.
AS coach Of the freshman squad
the task of Mcuinnis has been to
copy the style of the big teams that
Michigan had to meet and drill his
machine in the style Of play that
they had used. No better opportun-

the different systems have to COM

counting on getting the benefit of
this experience next fall.
McGinnis will have as material for
his team six or seven of the letter

Dr.. Eume's Residence Damaged by
Fire.

The residence of Dr. F. &. Hume
in east Leon, was badly damaged by
fire which was discovered about l
O'Clock last Sunday afternoon. The
fire started from defective flue,
and the roof was burning pretty free
ly when the fire department arrived,
out they soon had the fire under
control, as usual. All of the house
hold goods were removed, the fire
damage being confined to the roof,
put the whole interior of the house
was damaged by water. Dr. Hume
had $1,000 insurance on the house.
and also carried a policy on his
household goods. In this connec-
ton we desire to call attention to a
practice which is very annoying to
tne fire boys, and that is for parties
who are not members Of the depart
ment jumping in and giving orders
in regard to turning water. on and
OF, and otherwise hampering the
boys in their work If it is not stop
ped, some of these times these par
ties are going to have the hose turn
ed on them and see what effect that
will have.
