SANDSTONE BANKER
FOUND DEAD IN CAR
VIM. Hurley, President Security
State Bank, Overcome by Mon
oxide Gas.-Resident of Sand
stone Six Years.-BOrn i'm
Pine County.

Sandstone, Mimi, Nov "a Spe-
cial to the American.-The people of
this community received sad blow
Tuesday when they heard the report
that VIM. Hurley, president of the.
Security State Bank, was found dead
in his car with his two dogs about
10 miles east of Sandstone, near the
Dingman farm, due to the fumes of
monOXide gas at 10 a. m. .-.---.-..
VIM. Hurley was born in Hinckley
Dec 18th, 1877, and was the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. James Hurley with
whom he moved to Pine City one year
after his birth. There he grew to
manhood. He entered the banking
business in Sandstone six years ago
as cashier, from which position he
arose to president
Mr.. Hurley left the bank Monday
afternoon about 2:30 o'clock to look
after some of the banks interests in
IDENTIFY returning home and had
stopped several miles from the cor
ner of the road leading into Sandstone
to thaw out a frozen radiator, where
he was discovered by Ike Workman
who was out there hunting. A blan-
ket covered the radiator. He must
have stepped into the car to keep
warm while the motor was running.
The gas fumes evidently worked
into the car and caused his death.
When Mr.. Workman approached the
car and received no response to his
greeting he opened the car and found
the body frozen rigid in sitting
position. One dog was lying on the
back seat and the other on the floor
in natural position as though they
were asleep. The motor of the car
had stopped from lack of gasoline.
Ben Hurley, a brother of the unfor-
tunate man, who is cashier of the
bank.
w. P. Gottry, county coroner, was
notified and accompanied by Sheriff
Hawley they went out and returned
with the car and body. From Sand
stone the body was taken to the
family home in Pine City.
Mr.. Hurley is survived by his par
ents; four brothers, Michael, Pine
City, county attorney elect; Mathews,
st. Paul, attorney; Ben, Sandstone,
banker; Frank, Pine City insurance
man; and five sisters. He was a,
member of the Order of knights of
Columbus. He had risen to be a
successful banker and one who en-
joyed the confidence and respect of
the people who knew him. He was
treasurer of the Sandstone Commun-
ity Club and an enthusiastic member
for that organization.
The sympathy of the community
goes out to the sorrowing parents of
the deceased and the brothers and
sisters.
The funeral will be held Thursday
forenoon at 10 o'clock from the
Catholic church at Pine City of which
deceased was a member, and burial
will be made in the family lot at
Pine City. -=-...<-.

There are many who want to be
successful but there are very few
who are willing to pay the price, -
the Rev. Fackler said.
1.-THE Tsraelites wanted to kill the
giant, but they were afraid to meet
him. For forty days the giant de-
fed the Israelites. They wanted to
be successful but were afraid to
meet their opposition.

There were others that nodded as
sent but none volunteered to do the
work.
THE soldiers reminded one an
other of the great reward that was
offered They would like to have laid
claim to this reward, but they were

There was one that appeared in
the camp who when hearing the
arguments questioned the soldiers
about the reward. The men of war
seemed to be excited over the lad

Fear of jealousy


He that would thus in the name
OF the Lord be successful will have
much jealousy thrust upon him.
David's brother Eliab was angry and
thought that David was forsaking
his duty and that he came only out
of curiosity. Wrath is cruel, anger
is outrageous, but who can stand be-
fore envy and jealousy.
THE sin of jealousy rolls many
obstacles before the feet of those
who are climbing to success. Jacob
suffered envy of Esau, Joseph en-
dured the jealousy Of his brothers.
David surmounted the jealousy of
Eliab.
Jealousy can hinder ones success.
it can increase trouble and turn
your best friends against you, it
wells forth from the souls that fire.
quently seem TO be your best friends.
He that would be successful must
not be discouraged by the jealousy
in others, and, like David, look to
God for strength, that their souls
might not be stained with such sin.
Good Advice
David gave good advice to the
king. He said let no mans heart
fail because of this great man, trust
in God and He will bring it to pass.
Big opposition is overthrow by a
little breath from the Almighty.
He that would have courage es-
tablished in his soul should be con.

offer Of coat Of mail and went
forth guided by the hand of God
and protected by His might This is
the secret of real success" the Rev.
Fackler said.

SUSPECT WEATHERS
Grill. IN Staying
OF GULL|vkN WOMAN

Windsor, VT, Nov. 10.-(P)-John
Winters, former convict, still stoutly
maintained his innocence of the
murder of Miss Cecilia Gullivan early
Sunday morning after a grilling by
state detectives and other officials
for several hours this afternoon.
He was charged only with assault
on Miss Bessie Pandjarvis, who
identified him yesterday as the man
who entered her room at about the
same time as the murder was COM
mitted. While some officials were
questioning Winters, others were d.
recting the search by 100 Boy Scouts
who combed the grounds about the
house Miss Gullivan occupied alone
in an effort to find the weapon with
which the woman was dubbed to
death. The scouts turned two iron
window weights over to the authorl-
ties for further examination, but
otherwise their search was in vain.
Further accusation against Win
ters was made today by Mrs. Made
line Badger, of Manchester N. H.,
who declared he attempted to as
sault her at her brothers home in
Windsor about three weeks ago. She
said she fought him off and. escaped
from the house with her baby.

Boston. Nov. 10-[P)-The last
it's of escaping their sentences of
electrocution for the murder of
James II. Ferneau during the Wal
than Carbarn holdup, was blasted
today by double-barrelled decision
from the full bench of the supreme
court. The court found there was
on error in the denial of a new trial
and that the executive council of the
governor could not be forced to take
action on petition for respite of
sentences.
John J. Devereaux, John ]. Nc
Laughlin and Edward ]. Heinlein,
who were convicted of numbering the
aged Waterman after robbing the
carbarn of $1,000, are under sentence
of death on January 3. next. Orig
inally sentenced to die in the week of
August s, they had been granted
three respites that the courts might
consider the motions of defense
counsel.
On the first point the supreme
court held that it was clearly shown
in the constitution that the initiative
of pardon. which includes respite.
rests with the governor and that the
council acts afterwards simply in an
advisory capacity. Governor Alvan
T. Fuller, in refusing to grant the
petition, had declined to submit the
matter to the council

Judgment as to legal responsibility

1.-THE fact that the question of in
sanity was not raised at the trial is no
reason in and of itself for granting a

are presented having a tendency to
show insanity. Otherwise the STRAIT
