a greater portion of it distributed to

FALL FROM auto
CAUSES DEATH
Miss Anna Slender, Daughter. Of Mr..
and Mrs. John Slender, Dies From
Injuries Received in Fall.
ACCIDENT NEAR !. c. DEPOT
Coroner Ordered Inquest Held Today,
buk Muddy Roads Necessitated
Postponement Until Tomorrow

Miss Anna Slender. daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John Slender of this city
died at an early hour Saturday morn
ing at the Denison hospital from in
juries she received Friday evening
when she fell from an auto on White
street. striking her head on the curb
stone, causing fracture OF the skull.
She was unconscious when picked up
and was taken at once to the hospital.
where a physician and nurse were con-
stantly in attendance until her death
occurred about 3 o'clock. She never
regained consciousness. so it will new
er be known just how the accident oc-
Cured
1t seems that Miss Slender and Miss
Caroline Saggau. daughter of Martin
Saggau. had accepted an invitation
from two Vail boys to attend the dance
at the Catholic school Friday evening.
They dressed for the dance and decid-
ed to walk down town to have their
shoes shined before their escorts call
ed for them. When at the George
Naeve corner the boys who had invit-
ed them. together with two other
friends, drove up in machine and

them. The young ladies. seeing the
car was filled. declined the invitation,
saying they would walk to the shoe
shining parlor and meet them there.
However, after great deal of per-
suasion. the girls consented to ride
down town on the running board of
the machine. but instead of going to
the shoe shining parlor the driver
headed the car west and down the
street to the l. c. station. 1t is said
that the boys were teasing the girls
and told them they were going to De.
lott on Joy ride. This evidently did
not meet with the approval OF Miss
Slender and Miss Saggau, for they in
formed their escorts if they did not
turn around they would jump off. Az
ter making the turn at the bottom of
the hill Miss Saggau saw her friend
fall off the running board on the 9th
err side of the car and she jumped of
to assist her. Miss Slender s-head
evidently struck the curb stone for the
side 81 the skull was badly fractured.
The boys tur1ed the car around and
took both of the young ladies to the
hospital for medical attention. Miss
Saggau received only a few scratches
and bruises.

HOUSE WARMING
AT CLUB ROOMS
Two Hundred People We're in Attend
ance at Commercial Club House
Warming last Evening.
| MANY LADIES IN ATTENDANCE
Most Enjoyable Function-Denison
Band Furnished Numbers-Speech-
es, Cards, and Billiards.

Two hundred people were in attend
ance at the Commercial club house
warming last evening at the club
rooms in the Saggau building. On &C
count of the rain many were kept
from attending and the program was
shortened somewhat owing to the fact
that some of the speakers were not
abe TO attend. 1t was a most enjoy
able function and the fact that so
many ladies were present added great
ly to the occasion.
Mr.. J. 3. Lyon, president of the club
delivered the address of welcome, and
stated briefly the purpose of the Conn
'mercial club While the club was or
ganised primarily for business pur-
poses said Mr.. Lyon, features have
been added for the convenience and
entertainment of the members. He
called attention to the several i'm
provements rade in Denison which
are the direct result of the efforts of
the club. Pool. billiards and cards af-,
ford amusement to the members dur
ing spare moments, said Mr.. Lyon, but
this only tends to form closer friend
ships among the business men of Den
iscn. In concluding he read a poem
written by himself. entitled Boost
for Denison which met with hearty ap-
plause. The poem appears in another
column in this issue.
Denison concert band then favored
these present with two beautiful Sc
lections which we're heartily applaud
ed.
Hon. Carl F. kuehrle was then intro
duced by Mr.. Lyon and he expressed
his hearty approval of having the
ladies' present at the meeting and
hoped that the club would see fit to
have monthly gatherings where the
ladies would be invited to attend Mr..
Kuehnle told Of the good influence
the club had on the Younger members
and for that matter on the older ones
AS well. Wives and sisters, said Mr.
Kuehnle, should not worry when the
husbands and brothers are at the club
for they are in good company and do
ing nothing which would harm them.
He spoke of the many things the club
had done for the improvement of the
city and the lettering of conditions in
the community. He brought out many
good points and held the wrapt atten-
ton of all during his talk.

bert Cushman and Marcus McCord, &C
companied by Miss Mary Lally on the
piano, sang two beautiful selections
which were heartily applauded.
Mrs. P. J. klinker entertained the
guests with two delightful whistline
solos. Mrs. klinker has only recently
returned from Des Moines, where she
spent the winter while her husband
was in attendance at the state legis
lature At the capital she was called
upon to appear on a number of differ
cnt occasions with whiStliEg selections
and readings.
Miss SollInger. instructor at the col
lege gave two excellent readings. The
boot black reading vas something un
usual and brought out storms Of laugh
ter.
DR.. McAvoy. president of the Mis-
souri, Valley Commercial club, was
present and gave short talk. DR.
McAvoy agreed with those who had
spoken before him that Denison was
the best town in the state of Iowa and
that it had the Invest commercial club
in this section. not excepting Missouri
Valley. In coming up to Denison,
Crawford and Harrison counties had
much in common. He was impressed
with this when leaving Missouri Val
ley and saw the farmers tilling the
fertile valley which in years previous
was flooded every spring And do
you know, said Dr. McAvoy, that soil
came from Crawford county, was
washed down by the floods and care
fully and equally distributed over the
valley near Missouri Valley, and is
now worth just 5000 an acre. His
speech was witty and full of good
points.
Following the program Mrs. Staley
with corps of able assistants served
light refreshments. consisting Of ice
cream. cake and coffee.
After refreshments the guests en-
joyed q social hour and it was not I'M
til midnight that the party finally
broke up, every one more than pleas
ed with the hospitality extended them
by the club,
