sired amount of money on subscrip-

subscriptions and get right out for
more. They appreciate the liberality
of the $4,000 extra vote offer that al

AUDUBON COUNTY PIONEER
Died at Her Family Home i'm Lincoln
Township Saturday Afternoon
After Long and Useful Life.

Mrs. Elizabeth Speas, aged "a
years, died at her home in Douglas
township, two miles northeast of
Fiscus, last Saturday, after a long
and useful life. She was a splendid
Christian woman and will be great
ly missed in the community where
she resided so many years. She was
the widow of Isaac Speas, who pass
ed away in 1900, and since mis- death
has been living with her son Alfred.
Besides the son Alfred H., and
daughter, Mrs. Rebecca Elsberry,
there are fourteen grandchildren,
twenty-three great grandchildren,
and a host of friends who mourn her
departure.
1t was one of the last requests of
the deceased that the 7th verse of
the 4th chapter of Timothy, II have
fought a good fight, / have finished
my course, l have kept the faith, "
be read at the cemetery as her re-
mains were placed in their final
resting place.
Elizabeth Duling Speas was born
in Ohio July Is, 1887, and at the
age of two years she moved with
her parents to Indiana where the
childhood and young womanhood
days of her life were spent. On the
18th day of October, 1855, she was
united' in marriage to Isaac Speas, in
her Indiana home. Longing for a
home of their own, Mr.. and Mrs.
Spaes bid adieu to their childhood
home in the spring OF 1875, turning
their eyes TO the west, settling in
the plains of central Nebraska.
Life in that locality in those early
days was anything but pleasant and
after about a year and half spent
in Nebraska, they decided to move
further east This was in the fall
of 1870, and with three small chill
dren, they came to Audubon county.
The Speas home was established in
Douglas township on the farm now
owned by Arlie Hilsabeck. After
some years this home was given up
for the one where the deceased liy-
ed with her husband and son, VIII
liam c., until both were called by
death, the former in 1900, and the
latter in 1917.
To this union were born two sons,
Alfred II. and William c., and one
daughter, Mrs. Rebecca Elsberry.
Aunt Elizabeth, as she was famil-
iarly known, had been faithful
Christian all the years of her life,
having united with the Christian
church while still young girl back
in her old Indiana home. Some
three years ago she became men,
Der of the Red Line Church of Christ,
the denomination with which she
affiliated until the time of her
death.
Funeral services were held at the
Liberty school house Monday after
noon at two o'clock, in charge OF
Rev. r. F. Allen, of Irwin. Inter-
ment was made in Douglas Center
cemetery.

cADDocK LOSES MATCH
Giant Pole, Though Far Out-Classed,
Wins Match With Iowa's
Favorite Son.

Stanislaus Zbyszko, giant Pole, is
still heavyweight champion of the
world. He successfully defended his
title again Earl Caddock. at the Col
iseum, Des Moines, Monday night by
taking two straight falls from the
Iowan.
It was a match of strength and
weight against science, with the odds
on streigth and weight. The first
fall came in 1:20:20, and the sec
ond in :24:11.
Caddock, as far as the science or
the game is concerned, outwrestled
Zbyszko by a wide margin, but his
cleyerness did not avail much
against the Poles bulk and strength.
1t was almost like wrestling a big
grain sack.
The match was clean throughout.
AT one time Caddock bumped Zbysz-
kos head to the mat several times
and the crowd cheered. A few min
utes later Zbyszko lifted his great
chest few inches and smashed down
Caddock, while the audience jeered
and booed him.
Caddock was by far the faster. He
had little trouble early in the match
in keeping out of danger, but the
steady exertion of trying to get holds
on the bulky Pole and in counter
acting holds finally wore down the
strength and endurance OF the Iowan
and after an hour of milling it was
but question of time.
The Pole was in danger but once
and that was shortly before the first
hnnr Vac nm Caddock took the
Pole to the floor with an armlock
that caused the champion great pain
and 1t was only through his great
strength and much punishment that
the Pole was able to squirm out OF
danger.
Zbyszko secured the first fall in
much the same manner that Ed Lew
is threw Caddock last year They
were on the mat with Caddock be-
hind. The Pole rose to his feet with
Caddock clinging to his back. The
Pole Just fell backward on top or
Caddock, nearly smashing him. The
fall Knocked the wind out of Cad
dock and he was easy to pin with the
time of 1:20:20,
The second fall came much quick
err and easier. Zbyszko tore into
Caddock from the very start and
forced the wrestling. He tried all
the various nelson's, hammerlocks
and other arm holds and several
times had Caddock in trouble. Cad
dock seemed to be weakened all the
time and finally the Pole clamped
on a wrist lock and cross body which
resulted in the second fall in 24:11.

oFF TO FEDERAL COURT

Tuesday morning the early Rock
Island took out large group of Au-
dubon people, headed for Council
Bluffs. Practically all of them in
tended driving overland, but the
rain and snow frustrated their
plans and they were compelled to
rely on the Sire ball" Those in
the party were Geo. A. Foley, F. l..
Anderson, F. A. Johnson, DR.. j. X.
Donaldson, H. e. Laubender, r ID.
Hawks, Frank Bagley, o. X. Purdy,
Andrew Jorgensen, ]. G. Boyer, W.
H. Ebert, Clint Leonard, Lee Mccoy
and Col. Kness. Frank Wilson,
est Marsh started bright and early
in Wilson's car, and expected to
make the trip in safety. The reason
for their appearance in Council
Bluffs is that they were called as
witnesses in the Tennigkeit case
now pending in the federal court.
This is a case wherein Tennigkeit is
bringing suit against Frank Wilson
and his bondsmen ON the ground
that while sheriff of Audubon coun-
ty Wilson did not perform his full
duty in protecting him at the time
a rope was placed about Tennigkeit's
neck and compelled to sign check
for $1,000 in favor of the Red Cross.
No one in Audubon has the slight
est idea that there is any danger
that Wilson will be convicted on the
preposterous charge. Audubon
county never had more conscien-
tious sheriff than Frank Wilson and
no one would go further to protect
prisoner than Frank Wilson. And
fortunately Andrew Jorgensen, the
present incumbent. is man OF the
same type.
