JONAS ]. TICE.

Jonas j. Tice, prominent and very
highly esteemed farmer of Elk Lick
Township, passed peacefully away at
5:3O o'clock, Thursday evening, the
10th inst, at his home about l 1-2
miles southwest of the Wilhelm Re-
formed Church. His death was due
to an accident which occurred two
days earlier at which time his
head struck an overhead beam or joist
with great force while riding on top
of load of fodder as it was being
hauled into the barn. He was knocked
from the load and fell to the barn
floor which injured him so badly that
he was in partially paralyzed con-
dltlon until his suffering was relieved
by death. He remained conscious to
the last, however, bearing his suffer-
ing bravely and with Christian forti-
tude, realizing that death was near,
and telling his loved ones that he was
prepared to die. Jonas ]. Tice was an
upright, God-fearing man, who made
the Golden Rule his standard to live
by, and he will be sadly missed by his
family, friends and neighbors, and by
all who had dealings with him. Mr.
lice was born in Garrett county, Md.
within few miles of Accident, nearly
90 years ago, and resided there until
about 70 years ago, when he moved to
Elk Lick Township. He was an ex-
cellent farmer, kind and loving hus-
band and father, and a good neighbor
and citizen, as well as a devout and
consistent member of the Mennonite
church. The funeral service was held
at the Amish Mennonite church near
his home, at which for years he was
regular attendant. The obsequies were
conducted by Rev. C. W. Bender and
Rev. Noah Brenneman. The burial
arrangements were in charge of Floyd
Bender. Interment was made in the
church cemetery. The attendance at
the funeral was large. Among those
in attendance from other states were

this afternoon when the Cornhuskers
of the University Of Nebraska went
down to defeat before the terrific on
slaught Of the Stanford Cardinals in
the track and field meet between the
two universities in the Stanford

Throughout the afternoon drench-

the stadium and the less than 1000
spectators who braved the unfavor-
able weather to attend the meet.
On account of a slushy track and
field, this afternoons contest was a
comparatively slow affair. Competi-
ton, however, was keyed up to a
high pitch and the meet turned out
to be one of the most interesting
ever held in the Palo Alto oval.
