Delbert Scull Presented With Gold
Watch, Chain and Knife.

There was a mighty happy lad at
the south school building last Fri
day afternoon, when Delbert Scull,
the eleven year old lad who exer,
cised such great presence OF mlnd
when he discovered the school
building was on fire, was presented
with gold watch, chain and gold
pocket knife, as testimonial from
the parents of the pupils. Mrs. r.
E. Bell had charge of raising, the
funds to purchase the gift, and af-
ter recess Friday afternoon, Delbert
was presented with the gift by his
teacher, Miss Ella Grogan. The
watch was inscribed on the inside
of the case, Charles Delbert scull,
for heroism. Presented by the
parents of the South School, Leon,
Iowa, March 10, 1919" His 1n1-
tials were also engraved on the out
side of the watch and on the gold
knife His mother, Mrs. Sam
scull replied to the presentation il a
few we'll chosen words, and then
Delbert thanked all for the present
which he will always carry with
great pride Many of the parents
were present at the presentation, and
they examined the basement, and
saw that had the fire had a few
minutes more start, the building
would undoubtedly have burned,
and probably many of the pupils
been injured. .

Royal Richardson.

Uncle Royal Richardson, eoDe of
the pioneers OF Decatur county,
passed away at his home in Pleasan-
ton last Friday morning at the ad,
vanced age of ~ years, ! month ana
8 days. -
Royal Richardson was born in
Phillipston, Wooster county, Massa-
chusetts, February IL, 1927. He
was reared on a farm and educated
inS the public schools at Phillipston.
He lived in his native state for
twenty-nine years, and on attaining
his majority was married to MISS
Martha Johnson, who was born and 7 !.
Mr.. and Mrs. Richardson came west
to Batavia, Illinois, where for two
years he followed the carpenter and
joiner's trade, which he had pre-
viously learned at Cambridge. Mass.
In 1858, they came to, Decatur
county, Iowa, locating at Pleasanton'
and built saw and grist mill which
was among the first to be erected in
the county, and did an extensive
business for a number of years. Al
ter selling his mill business Mr..
Richardson followed contracting ana
building for time, and in 1877, en-.
gagged in the mercantile, mercantile business me S,Sn q,
of Edmunds & Richardson's in which
he continued until 1884, when he
retired from active business life. He
served as postmaster at Pleasanton
for eighteen years, and always took
an active part in improving and
building up his home town and com
munity, and it was mainly due to ms
efforts that the railroad was bulit
through Pleasanton. Affiliated with
the republican party Mr.. Richardson
always took an active interest IN
politics, but was never seeker after
office for himself, but was loyal
worker in the interest of his friends.
He was man of honor and integ-
rity, whose word was as good as
bond, and he was ever among the
first to extend aid to persons in dis,
tress. His death is deeply regretted
by everyone in theicommunlty where
he has resided for sixty-one years,
Funeral services were held at the
home in Pleasanton on Saturday,
conducted by Rev. w. E. Shugg,
pastor of the M. E. church at Davis
City, interment being, in the ceme-
terry south Of Pleasanton, where Mr..
Richardson last fall erected monu-
ment for himself and his aged COM
panion, who survives him.

Des Moines Getting in I,eon's Glass.

A daring bank robbery in broad
day light at Des Moines at $3.50
O'Clock Tuesday morning, puts Des
Moines In Icons class as picking for
bank robbers, who escape leaving no
clews. Tuesday morning two well
dressed men appeared at the door
of the Iowa State bank at Des MOines
half an hour before the bank was to
open, and raped on the door. and
when an assistant cashier came to
the door they asked to be admitted
to make deposit. In the bank
there were three employees at the
time, who were just carrying the
money out of the vault to be ready
for the days business. The robbers
after gaining admittance pulled guns
and made the three men hold up
their hands, and marched them to q
wash room and locked them in, and
then coolly gathered up something
over $4,000 in currency, and walk
ed out of the bank. The clerks in
the bank succeeded in breaking down
the door within fifteen minutes and
gave the alarm, but the men had dis
appeared and no clew to them has
been secured,

Rathbun Pardon Investigation Gets
to Looking Worse.

The investigation of the Rathbun
pardon case by the house judiciary
committee at Des Moines, is bringing
out many details of the crooked ma
ture of the whole transaction. The
father of young Rathbun has testi-
fed that he gave attorney Clark
$4,000 in currency which was to go
to Governor Harding in order to Sc
cure the pardon of young Rathbun,
this sum being in addition to, the
money paid Clark as his fee and ex-
penses. GOevrnor Harding has
stated that the whole thing is pre-
posterous. The governor has been
subpoenaed to appear before the COM
mittee to tell all he knows about the
whole matter. Everybody hopes
that the committee can clear up the
dirty mess. and if its proven that the
governor did not receive any of the
money, there are about three or
four attorneys at Ida Grove who
should be disbarred, or given a term
in the penitentiary for securing
money under false pretense.

Leon Laundry Opens Next Monday,

AS result of their recent inves-
legations of our water conditions,
ETC., the Lamont Steam Laundry
decided to open branch here
and have put Mr.. H. A. Sturdyvin in
charge. He is an experienced man
in laundry and dry cleaning work
and reputed to be most competent
gentleman. You are urged to step
in and see him, and he will explain
the details of the laundry and clean
ing process. The ladies will be es-
pecially interested in learning just
what process their work goes
through and will be surprised to
note the care used to prevent dam
age andinsure perfect cleanliness.
A late model steam press has
been installed and they explain the
advantages of the thorough sterili-
cation this method gives.
They tell us that the prices Of
some supplies have decreased and
they are lowering the price of clean
ing and pressing, which is expected
to be an incentive to everybody to
wear clean, fresh and neatly pressed
clothing all week long.
We are glad the boys have come
to Leon to stay and urge that ev-
erybody go n'and see their plant.
They expect to call for and deliver
all clothes
