Michael Donley's Death,

In the death of Mr.. Michael DON
ley, which occurred shortly after the
room hour on Wednesday of this week,
Scotland loses another pioneer citizen.
Mr.. Donley had been in failing health
for over a year, his trouble being
hardening of the arteries, which was
complicated by heart and kidney troub-
les. Although suffering no pain he
kept constantly growing weaker until
the end came. He was able to be up
and around until Tuesday night, but
had failed rapidly the last few days,
and It was realized that the, end was
near. He was conscious almost to the
last and seemed to be battling with
death in an effort to hold out until the
arrival of his son Owen. who is in the
service at Newport News, and was on
his way home on furlough. On ac-
count of delayed train he missed
connections at Chicago. delaying him
twelve hours, and he did. not arrive
until about an hour after his father
had passed away.
Mr.. Donley was born in Ireland in
August, 1851. being 81 years of age
at the time of his death. When three
years of age he came to America, and
with his parents settled in Fond du
Lac, Wis. Here he grew to manhood
and in 1876 came to Dakota, locating
on homestead FIVE miles north west
of Scotland. After holding the claim
for year or two he sold the reiin-
punishment, and with his mother, who
had arrived from Wisconsin, he went
! to Douglas county, and he and his
mother each took homestead south
of belmont. His mother lost her life
in prairie fire at that place, and
was buried in Tabor. After proving
up on his homestead Mr.. .Donley re.
turned to Scotland and engaged in the
livery business. This he followed
until about 1891 when he purchased
the Campbell House, now known as
the Donley Hotel. which he has own
ed ever since. The hotel has beer
rented since 1907. and is now run BY
the Donley Brothers. During thai
time MI. Donley has been in the rea
estate business.
In 1881 Mr. Donley married Mrs

While away Mr.. Vandeventer visited

Scotland, about fifty miles distant.
Mr.. Dingman has been farming half

year, .altho he recently bought q near
by farm of 154 acres at $50 per acre.
Mr.. Dingman has had very prosper
GUS year. He las 155 acres in corn,
and threshed 5000 bushels of oats
and 600 bushels Of wheat. He and
q fourteen year old son did all the
farm work this season, but will have
help to husk the corn. Mr.. Vande.
venter is very much impressed with
that part of the country, and says if
he were renter he would surely go
there. Crops are exceptionally good
there this year. Altho that is not

venter Gays he never saw better corn.

A bad automobile accident happen.
ed about half mile south of Scotland
last Monday afternoon. There seems
to. have been general mjxup of three
autos and team and wagon, so it is
difficult to tell just how the accident
occurred, but it appears that Emanuel
Mehrer with his Buick 6 was going
south when he overlook a team which
he was just about to pass when they
were met by two other autos driven
by Ed. Jungmann and Louis Novak.
Novak was at the time attempting to
iass JungmaSn, and both were going
at high speed. Mehrer, finding
himself between the two racing care
and the team. attempted to get in the
clear by going to the left side of the
road, but before he could get there
the rear end of his car was struck by
Novak's Stevens 6 car and both care
were turned over and badly demolish-
ed. Mrs. Mehrer, who was with her
husband, got her cheek badly cut
probably with a broken piece of glass,
and both she and her husband received
numerous bruises. Mr.. ,Novak and
Jumbo" Pillar, who was riding with
him, both received bruises but were
not seriously injured. Mr.. Novak' 4
car is said to be damaged beyond re.
pair, while Mehrer's is also badly
demoralized. Mrs. Mehrer was bro,
to DR.. Koobs' Office where her ipju.
ries were attended to, and she is re.
covering at the home Of her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Gross, in the
south part of town.
