Two Days Illness.
Henry Van Beck, Of Westfeld,
known to his large circle Of acquaint-
ances as "Hy," died at the Wolverton
hospital in Linton yesterday morn
ing at 5:15 o'clock following an OPP
! peration for a ruptured gall bladder.
Mr.. Van Beck was taken seriously
| i'll at his home in Westfeld Sunday
afternoon: He was brought to Lin
ton that evening where he was operat-
ed upon by Drs. Wolverton and Win
chester. It was found that the gall
bladder had burst, and that there was
little hope for the patient. The end
came in . short time. s
Henry Van Beck was born in the
Netherlandss on Oct. 26, 1867. He
came to America with his parents
when nine years Of age, and settled
In Sioux county, Iowa. There he re-
sided until Oct. 20, 1885, when he
came to the Westfeld country to
spend the rest Of his life. Three
years prior to that time, March IA,
1882, he was married to Miss Clara
Jansen, at Sioux City, Iowa. Nine
children born to their union survive,
three boys and six girls. The sons,
Bert and Ed, live at Westfield, and
James is employed at Aberdeen, s. d.
Of the daughters, two are married.
Mrs. Rev. XII Dykema lives at Les
ter, Iowa, and Mrs. Jack Olson lives
in Minneapolis. The four othes.
dau.:rters, Clara, Cora Jeanette and
Henrietta have their residence at
Westfield. For a short time the
family lived in Aberdeen, s. D., but
in recent years have made their home
in the little community surrounding
the Westfield postoAice. Two Of the
girls were visiting their sister in
Minneapolis at the time Of their, faith
er's fatal illness. All had been noti-
fled and all the children will be at
Westfield for the funeral which. will
be held Friday Of this week. There

some distress. 81 hadn't"
You hadn't what? he cried.

Noble leaped to his feet. "Julia !!
You aren't-you aren't engaged?"
II am not" she answered declsively.
If ever was. In the slightest. I GER
tainty am not now
Poor Noble was transhgured He
struggled; making half-formed GEES
lures, speaking half-made words.
"Julia-Julia-" He choked: "Julia,
promise me something? Juia-prom-
ise to promise me something"
II WILL" she said quickly. "What do
you want me to do?"
give me your word" he said, still
radiantly struggling. 'Give nue. your
word-your word and sacred promise,
Julia-yeull never be engaged to any
body at ALL"
At six minutes after four o'clock of
the second afternoon following Julia's
return, Noble Dill closed his own gate
benint him as he set forth upon the
four-minute walk that would bring him
to Julia's. He wore bit of indoor
geranium in the buttonhole of his new
light overcoat.
Passing the foot of an alley which
debouched upon the street, he was
aware of a connection, Of missiles
hurled and voices clashed,
Casting a glance that way, Noble
could see but one person; boy of
thirteen or fourteen who looked
through a crack in. board fence,
steadfastly keeping an eye to this aper-
ture, and as continuously calling
through it, holding his head to one
level for this purpose, but at the same
time dancing-and dancing tauntingly,
it was conveyed-with the other parts
of his body. His voice was now sweet,
row piercing. and again far too
dulcet with the Overkindness of bur-
lesque; and If, as il seemed, he
was unburdening his spleen, his spleen
was a powerful one, and gorged. He
appeared to be In a torment of tor
menting; and his success was proved
10y the pounding of bricks, and rocks
of size. upon the other side of the
fence.
.Oh, dolling!" he walled, his tone
poisonously amorous. "Oh, dolling
Henery! ,Oo's dot de mos booful eyes
In a dray bid nasty world. Henery !
Oh. has I dot booful eyes, dolling Pat
tywatty? Yes. hast l has dot
pretty eyes!" His voice rose to an
unbearably piercing climax. "Oh, what
prettiest eyes dot Me and Herbie
Atwater! oh. my booful eyes Oh.
my booful--'
But even as he reached this apex,
the head, shoulders and arms Of Her.
bert Atwater rose momentarily above
the fence across the alley, behind the
tormentor. Herbert's expression was
implacably resentful, and so was the
gesture with which he hurled an OBJ
iect at the comedian pre-occupied with
the opposite fence. This object upon
reaching its goal, as 1t did with more
splash than thud. was revealed as
tomato, presumably In a useless
