Harry Hershey

Deepest anguish was brot to
1.-THE old and loving mother and
sisters and brothers when the
fact of the death of their son and
brother was flashed to them.
Harry Hershey was here on a
visit about a year ago and many
Iof bis friends as well as relatives
fthot he appeared in better health
than before he made his home
lat Mesa, Arizona about ten
years ago. He had been an ex-
| pert bookkeeper for st. Louis
firms and feeling that his health
was failing on account of the
close indoor confinement, he
lchose the southwest for his
home and his judgment was cor
lrect concerning the change. He
stayed here last year longer than
The. had expected to, but the in
sistance of his mother that he
make her a good long visit pre-
vailed and the hot, dry and
s|dusty days could not possibly
agree with him so well as his
Echosen country. tho it is not felt
lfhat the return Of his malady
WAS entirely attributable to his
fprolonged stay here.
Harry Hershey was the young
est of seven children, born on

His reputation as a speaker is

a player of fingered instruments before
the accident, which occurred Feb. I,
last when the mercury was 20 below
zero. AS result Of the freezing he
lost all the fingers only stumps of
hands remaining. The defense endeav-
ored to show, by bringing in a from
bone as an exhibit, that it was possible
for Burns to play that instrument,
thereby continuing his profession as a
musician and earning money to sup
port his family. The plaintiff claimed
slush had been permitted to remain on

face was uneven. 1t was claimed the
city was negligent in not removing the

Mason City.
Oswald E. Mall, pasted of st.
James Evangelical Lutheran church,
until recently generally called the
German Lutheran church, Of this
city, and lay officers Of the congre-
cation, are to be called to account for
an article printed in the German Ian
guage, which appears in q printed d.
rectory Of the church, by the authorit-
les here. The offending article is a
story purporting to tell of an act Of
kindness which the kaiser, while on
the street one day in civilian clothes
did for a poor sailor, whom he over
heard bemoaning the fact he did not
have money enough to purchase a
present he desired to get for his fiance.
Mayor Potter, to whom the matter was
reported, had literal translation Of
the article made, and then conferred
regarding it with Charles MdNider,
chairman of the county defense coun-
Gil. Mr.. Potter said that Rev. Mr..
Mall and possibly others would be
summoned to explain why, with the
nation at war with the German EN-.

matter is in circulation.

Mason City, Nov. 1.-THE first sack
Of sugar from the Northern Sugar cor
poration's Mason City plant was sold
at public auction Saturday for $1,000
bid by c. H. McNider, Of Mason City
The proceeds will be turned over by
the Northern Sugar Corporation to
Frank J. Hanlon, treasurer Of the Cerro
Gordo Red Cross chapter.
The next high bidder for the sugar
was b. A. Piummer, Of Forest CITY
the man who first proposed the IDEA
Of selling the sugar at auction Tor the
Red Cross, and who raised his bid con :
stantly until he had reached the 500
mark. Then, when Mr. McNider said
81 900, he announced he was done.
He was congratulated by Mr.. NC
Nfder and others present on having
first preached the auction idea. E. T.
Mitchell, Of Dougherty, was present at
the final bidding, but the Dougherty
people offered no further bid. Neither
did Mr.. Hirsch, whose bidding on be-
half of the Mason City Robe and Tan
ming Company helped get the sale well
started.
The final bidding was in person, the
sale starting at 1899. Mr.. Plummer's Of
fer, which Mr.. McNider raised to $4oo.
Mr.. Plummer Immediately raised this
to $3.50 and there was only one raise
Of less than $50 from then on. when
McNider raised Plummers $3.50 bid but
$40.
"A good sized crowd gathered to
watch and hear the final b1ddins'
which was conducted by Globe
Gazette reporter, and w. J. DAILY, who
came past and was pressed into serv-
ice as auctioneer.
The Northern Sugar Corporation
officials were much gratif1ed at the in
terest taken in the sale, and feel great
ly pleased that the opening OF their
factory could be the cause Of the Red
Cross prof1ting by such a large sum.
Mr.. Mc[Nider, when asked what dis
position he would make Of the sack OF
sugar, said that he had already pre-
scented 1t to the Red Gross chapter here
and they would resell it on some plan
which wouldsadd further funds to the
treasury.
