Also Survived by Family
of Six Children.

Harry Fl. Bostetter, 50 years old, of
S29 Rowland avenue, dropped dead at
Rowland avenue and Elizabeth street,
while on his way to work at $3.50 this
morning. Persons who were waiting
for the street car, saw him fall and
Immediately notified the police.
He was taken to St. GATHERINGS hos
pital where he was pronounced dead
on entrance, and the body removed to
the Hansen Funeral home under orders
from Coroner Truman T. Parker. He
was identified by a cash slip in his
pocket from the Jacob Rauen meat
market at 266 Middle street. The slip
also bore his own name.
"A call to the market disclosed the
fact that he had not arrived at his
usual time, and that the description
of the body tailed with Bostetter's
description. Identification was com
pleted when one of the employees at
the undertaking establishment recog-
nized him.
Death Came Suddenly.
The end, it seems, came without the
slightest warning. According to mem
bers of the family he had left home
tive minutes before he was seen to
suddenly stagger and fall At that
time he seemed, TO be in perfect health.
He had arisen shortly before o'clock
and partaken of a hearty breakfast,
and later left to catch the early
morning car to his work. He had
neither complained of pain, nor been
ILL
Mrs. Bostetter is at home, prostrat-
ed by the news of her husbands sud
den death, and is being cared for by
physician. There are six children
in the family, the youngest of whom
is 10 years old. They are: Frank,
Margaret, Joyce, Harold, Julia and
George.
A post norton examination will
probably be held to determine whether
death resulted from heart failure or
apoplexy. Due to the circumstances
surrounding the death physicians are
unable to definitely fix the cause.
No Inquest.
Coroner Parker stated that no in
quest will be held, and that he will
issue a certificate following the post
mortem examination.
Mr.. Bostetter has been resident of
Kenosha for many years, and is we'll
known throughout the city. For the
past Is years he has been employed
at the Rauen market, and prior to that
was in business with his step-father,
Ernst Frank, in market at 105 Mil
wapkee avenue.
Arrangements for the funeral will
be announced later, it was stated!

Beach was in Washington some time
ago during a convention of the
Big Brother organization. He be-
came inspired to write his novel.
Neither the novel nor the picture

THE EAGLES FEATHER
IS THRILLING NOVEL
James Kirkwood Heads Cast
in Picture at Rylander
Wednesday

A thrilling picture full of de-
lightful incident is promised for
the Rylander next Wednesday, 1t
is called ''The Eagles Feather" and
is a perturbation of Katharine New
lin Burt's famous story Of the same
name which appeared in the Cos
moplitan some time ago.
The story was read by millions of
people and its perturbation will I'M
doubtedly be enjoyed by many more
for it deviates in no essentials from
the great charm and sentiment of
the original story.
"The Eagles Feather" tells the
story of hard, unsentimental wo-
man who scorns men and love and
is known as "the biggest man in
Bear Valley" But there comes
time when a newcomer on the
ranch, just returned from the war,
strikes her fancy and Della, the
scorner of men finds that Fate has
played her a cruel trick. When she
Graves for love it is to her niece,
a frail, beautiful girl, wholly fem
inne, that the man turns to with
love, and Della must acknowledge
her only defeat and that at the
hands of he sex she has despised
all her life.
"The Eagles Feather" contains
many scenes of tremendous excite
ment and action. James Kirkwood,
fresh from his great acting in "The
Fool" the sensational Broadway
success, and Mary Alden, who was
the mother in "The Old Nest" head
cast of capable players, including
Elinor Fair, Lester Cuneo and Geo
rye Seigman.
One great scene in which nearly
the entire cast participate is that
of a tremendous stampede in which
more than four thousand cattle rush
across the screen in vivid realistic
flight.

"The car and truck owners al

he said. "But if the gas tax amend
ment is not adopted the gas tax
money cannot be used for roads at
all and the auto owners will be forced
to contribute in addition for the gen

government.
VIRTUALLY everybody agrees that
Minnesota must join the other states
and collect a gas tax. And gas taxes
,, should go on roads-there's no good
argument against that. Without the
amendment, not dollar can be spent
for any road purposes whatever.
