miles north of Dooley Here he
spent his early boyhood days, happy
among the early pioneers, devoted to
his parents, ever ready to lend a
helping hand to neighbor or friend,
and loved by all who knew him. Two
years ago he attended school in Min
to, finishing his common school edu-
cation here, and it was at this time
that the first stages of that relent7
less disease, Diabetes, began to ap-
pear.
He returned home, and despite the
best of loving home care and uedi III
attention, steadily grew weaker.
A short time ago he came east to
seek further medical attention but to
no avail. Tuesday evening he retired
as usual but gradually grew weaker,
and on Wednesday eve, just as he
bells ceased tolling six, with won-
derfully glorious smile on his face he
passed to his heavenly home, safely
to the arms of the loved ones who
had preceded him but a few short
years. Truly Christian Young
man, devoted son and brother lust
on the horizon of happy useful life,
he passed to the home of his Creator
quietly and peacefully.

from a short eircuited wire. Mr..

were not turned on in the elevator
when he banked the fire in the
levator office, but only in the of
fee, that he did not seq any
flash and that the fire did not
occur at that time, bat later when
the light plant has shut down,
and that ne does not know how
the elevator did get on fire, but
that it did catch in the roof, and
that the fire occurred after he
went home from the elevator.

Moratorium on War
Debts Urged by Copley

Aurora, ILL.,, July 27.-(By A. P.)-
Congressman Ira c. Copley OF this
city, who has just returned from an
extended economic survey of Europe
for the United States government.
favors moratorium on international
obligations, he said today.
mo man, after visiting the ruined
towns and villages of France" said
Congressman Copley, "can question
Frances moral right to great repara-
tons. But if France were to get that
which it asks it would bring about
the economic collapse of the civilized
world"
Mr.. Cop1ey said that the first step
necessary to restore prosperity to the
United States and the world was an
agreement to amoratorium of at least
two years.
He declared himself satisfied that
France, in the economic interests of
the world, must reduce its demands
for reparations to actual costs Of
repairs, which he figures at $780,
100000. If France should insist on
the payment of the $4,000, 100000
awarded by the Versailles peace
treaty, Germany would be compelled
to continue on its lowered standard
of living and this would bring about
a lower standard in the United
States, and over the entire world, to
meet the competition of the German
workmen, Mr.. Cop1ey believes.

Oklahoma Rider Ties Steer in
20 As Seconds, Winning
Worlds Championship
Thrilling Features.

Cheyenne, Wyo., July ~27.-(Spe-
cial. )-Some of the fastest time ever

ed down mark of 204-5 seconds.
Fred Beason Of Arkansas City, Ark,
ran him a close second with 2l is
seconds, and Roy Kivett of the Y-6
ranch, near Cheyenne, was a good
third with 221-5, leaving the three
leaders of the day only rs seconds
apart. Eddie McCarty and Phil Yo-
der, two topnotchers of former years,
got into the under-30 class.
Panther Pete and Miss Greene,
whose names were scarcely known to
the crowd as bucking bronchos,
broke into the spotlight by throwing
Orville Merrill and Don Brownell,
respectively.
Mabel Strickland showed herself
closer to the McAlpin trophy for the
best all-around woman rider by car
rying off the relay race for the Sec
ond time in two days, and also doing
some extremely clever work in the
trick and fancy riding. Bonnie Gray
succeeded in climbing under the
belly of her mount, thus doing some
thing no other woman has performed
this year and which she herself failed
to achieve the opening day.
One animal fell in the wild horse
race and the rider suffered a stiff
jolt. Another rider was thrown, but
not badly injured. There were no
serious mishaps. The usual quota of
thrills were on tap. Roy Quick yank-
ed a calf high in the air in the course
of his act in hogtying the future COL
lection of beefsteaks. In the girls
relay, Mabel Strickland and Vera
McGinnis, winners of first and sec
ond prizes, respectively, brought
shrek after shrek from the grand
stands as they made flying leaps from
one horse to another. In the In
dams relay, one mount ran into an
other, sending the latters rider fly
ing.
Nearly 5000 persons were present.
