Organizing for Protec-
ton from Burglaries

The bankers of Audubon county
have organized for mutual protec-
ton from the burglaries and rob-
berries which are so prevalent of
late.
All the counties in the state now
have such organizations, and, in
case bank is robbed in one coun-
ty, the machinery in all the ad-
joining counties will unite in an
effort to discover the guilty party.
Many men in each county will be
deputized who will be provided
with fire arms to use when neces-
sary.
With such an organization and
eternal vigilance, it is thought that
many burglaries may be prevented
which might otherwise take place.

historical DsDartnAs
frontier Roundup to be
Staged in Atlantic Soon

Atlantic, Iowa, June l, (SpeciaD
The big Frontier Roundup and
Fourth of July celebration" to be
staged in Atlantic, July 2-4-5,
promises to be the center of con-
versational activity here for the
next few weeks. In fact, until af-
ter this spectacular athletic contest
for cowboys and cowgirls is over,
little else will be talked about on
the streets and elsewhere here.
Entries for the broncho busting,
bulldogging, steer riding and other
feature contests of the three-day
frontier celebration are arriving
daily and it is expected by those
in close touch with American sport
pages that nearly as many western
ranches will send representatives
here as usually compete at the
Cheyenne Frontier Days or the
Pendleton Roundup, where the
same rules and regulations are in
force.
This gigantic, historical cowboy
contest, involving the expenditure
of many thousands of dollars for
purses, outlaw bucking horses and
long-horned Texas steere, is widely
advertised in nearly hundred
leading newspapers in three states,
including those of Des Moines,
Omaha and Kansas City. Every
railway station, bank and business
house in this vast territory have
received notices and aashy colored
posters, while bill-boards for miles
around remind one that something
big is going to happen.

of the daughter some twenty-four
years ago, when they moved to
Des Moines which has since been
their home.
He was baptized into the fellow
ship of the Protestant Church of
England when child and has
maintained that relationship ever
since. He was member of the
Red Mems Lodge Of Des Moines
and also the Miners Union, in
which organizations he found many
congenial friends who, in the time
of his last illness, were a source of
great comfort to him.
He had not been we'll since last
fall, but was not taken critically ill
until Sunday, May 22d, and lived
only until Wednesday, the 25th
Ills age was 50 years, 2 months
and l day. He leaves as his sole
survivor, his wife, Emily. He is
brother-ln-law of Mrs. Onken, Mrs.
D. w. Chamberlain and Thomas
Hardwlck, all of Brayton.
The funeral services were held in
the Baptist church at Brayton,
Rev. Henry of the Community
church of Extra officiating, and his
body was laid to rest by the side
OF his daughter in the Oakfeld
cemetery, Audubon county, Iowa.

PIONEER LADY OF
BRAYT0N SUCCUMBS
Mrs. Trina Fries Passes Sud-
denly Away. Has Resided
in County Since 1880

Trina Brausch Fries was born in
the city of Schaumbach, Schleswig,
Holstein Germany, on the I'd day
of October, 1856. Here she lived
with her parents until the year
1876, when the family came to the
United States, settling at Daven-
port, Iowa.
MIN February, 1877, she was
united in marriage to Henry j.
Fries, of Germany. To this union
seven children were born, four of
whom survive her, the others pass
ing to the Great Beyond in in
fancy.
She resided on a farm at Daven-
port until the year 1880. At that
time she came with her husband
to Al on county, Iowa, where
she has wed at various places
since. She had been resident of
the village of Brayton for four
years prior to her death.
She leaves to mourn her loss
four children, Emile Fries, Cum
belrand, Iowa; Mrs. Nels Jensen,
hardwood, Iowa; William Fries,
Brayton, Iowa; Mrs. Carl Larson,
Brayton, Iowa. Her husband pre-
eeded her in death some twenty
two years, June II, 1899, being the
date of his death.
While not woman who went
about much, she counted as friends
those who came to the. home, and
will leave her impress upon society
as long as her posterity shall en-
dure. The surviving children have
the kindly sympathy Of the entire
community in which they reside,
Rev. Henry of the Community
church of Extra conducted the fu-
neral services at the Baptist church
