nephew of Mr. W. G. Pearson and wife of Hinton, Iowa. The reunion was an
unusually happy one as the family was last together in 1892. Mrs.
Christopher met her brother Arthur for the time in 16 years when he was
a boy at school.

OBITUARY
Peter Henry Kroger was born June 30, 1850, in Schleswig, Germany. Was
raised a German Lutheran and was married in 1870 to Marie Hilda Neilson.
To this union nine children were born one of which died in infancy. He
came to this country in 1881 landing in New York the day Garfield died.
He settled on a farm in Crawford county, Iowa, and later in Plymouth
county, Iowa, where he lived until the death of his wife in 1908. Since
then he has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Fred Calkins. He was
taken sick June 7, 1917, and all that loving hands could do for him with
the aid of doctors and nurse was done, but he finely gave way to the
dreaded disease of cancer and died August 28, 1917, aged 67 years, 1
month and 28 days. He leaves to mourn his loss four sisters and two
brothers besides five daughters and three sons as follows; Mrs. Edward
Page, and Mrs. C. T. Stover, of Kingsley, Iowa, Mrs. Clyde Rayhill of
Wagner, S. D., Mrs. Earl Peron of Luverne, Minn., Mrs. Fred Calkins of
Hinton, Iowa, Peter Kroger of Wessington Springs, S. D., John Kroger of

LOCAL AND PERSONAL
Mr. Earl Calkins of Marshall, Minn., visited at the home of his brother,
Fred Calkins.

Harry Frohm wrote the Gazette several cards while on the trip with the
troop train to Deming. He was greatly impressed with the "round-up" the
boys saw in several New Mexico towns and says if the Frita's don't get
him, he would like to settle in that country for life.

Mr. Dell Nash returned from his trip to Texas the latter part of last
week. Mr. Nash was in Houston just after the Negro soldiers shot up the
town. He states that the city was under martial law and that an
adventurer in search of exciting conditions could have found all he
wanted of it in Houston at that time.

EAST PERRY NOTES

Miss Minnie Sweeney returned to her school work at Alton.

Miss Lois Knapp of Westfield, Iowa, will open the fall term of school in

RELEASE SUSPECTED MAN
NO EVIDENCE FOUND TO INCRIMINATE ED NELSON, NEGRO

Ed Nelson, a negro, arrested at Carroll about ten days ago, in
connection with the murder of little Alta Braun, 13 years old, in this
city, was released from custody yesterday.  Nelson was arrested the
Saturday following the murder and taken to Woodbury county jail in Sioux
City for safe keeping.  The authorities have found nothing to
incriminate him in the case.  Nelson has been working for the Yankee
Robinson Circus company and left the show at Correctionville tow days
after the circus was in LeMars and had wandered down to Carroll where he
was arrested by a detective employed by the Chicago and Northwestern
railroad. 

No evidence has so far been unearthed to shed light on the murder.  The
authorities here and detectives are working on the case.

SUES FOR THE DIFFERENCE
Stock Raiser Claims His Consignment Was Refused in Sioux City

Andrew S. Johnson has instituted suit in the Plymouth county district
court against Nicholson & Durband, of Struble, claiming damages to the
amount of $1,195.44.  For cause of action the plaintiff states that on
June 23, 1917, Wm. Nicholson, acting for the aforesaid firm, purchased
seventy five head of cattle from the plaintiff for $7,195 at Round Lake,
Minn.  The plaintiff states he delivered the cattle according to
directions of Wood Bros Commission company in Sioux City.  He alleges
the consignment was refused.  The plaintiff then, under advice of
stockmen, he asserts, took the consignment of cattle to the Omaha market
where he disposed of the bunch for $6,084.39.  The plaintiff sues for
the difference with the addition of interest and notary fees.

REV. BENZ RETURNED
German Methodist Pastor Sent Back to LeMars by Conference

The German Methodist conference which me in LaCrosse, Wis., last week,

hereafter give his entire time to the district and has been succeeded in
the Sioux City pastorate by the Rev. S.C. Steinbrenner.  Dr. Hilmer and
Rev. Benz were continued as officials of Morningside college.  The

SIXTY YEARS OF WEDDED LIFE
     To enjoy wedded life for sixty years is not vouchsafed to many in
this world, but such is the good fortune of Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Hughes,
residing at 918 Franklin street, in this city, who yesterday, surrounded
by their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and a few
intimate friends, celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of their wedding
day.
     Hugh R. Hughes and Ellen Caldwell were united in marriage in
Galena, Ill., on September 10, 1857, and since that joyous day have
traveled life's pathway together, sharing each other's joys and sorrows,
facing good and evil fortune comforted and fortified in their mutual
love and esteem, and now in the golden autumn time of their lives are
contented and happy, declaring that life has been good to them and their
youth is renewed in the lives and happiness of their children to the
fourth generation.
     Mr. and Mrs. Hughes enjoy fairly good health.  Mr. Hughes is
eighty-three years of age and Mrs. Hughes is seventy-eight.  Looking
back they declare it seems no time at all since they were married.
     Hugh R. Hughes comes from rugged Welsh stock and ws born near
Anglesey, Wales, coming to America when a youth and recalls a voyage of
many weeks when he made the ocean trip in a sailing vessel from
Liverpool to New York.  Mrs. Hughes comes of British ancestry and was
born in this country in Jo Daviess county, Illinois.  They followed the
avocation of farming for many years.  When the civil war broke out Mr.
Hughes enlisted in Company I, Ninety-sixth Illinois infantry, shouldered
a musket and marched away, leaving a wife and two little boys.  He
served three years and his regiment was in some of the hottest battles
of the bloody strife.  His regiment was in the brigade commanded by
General Thomas in the army of the Cumberland.  Mr. Hughes took part in
the battles of Stone river, Missionary Ridge, Chickamanga and other
sanguinary engagements.  After receiving an honorable discharge at the
close of the war he re-engaged in farming in Illinois.  The family came
to Plymouth county in 1883 and farmed for several years and then moved
into town to make their home.
     Mr. Hughes was many years employed as custodian at the court house
and for several years as janitor at the Franklin school.  At these
places he was as popular as elsewhere and always a general favorite with
both old and young, and his good wife shares his popularity.
     Mr. and Mrs. Hughes have eight children living, who are Sherman
Hughes, of Westfiled; Geo. T. Hughes, of Seney; Frank and Joseph, of
LeMars; Mrs. Wm. Casler, of Stanton; Mrs. Chris Henricksen, of Seney,
and Misses Cora and Ella Hughes, living at home.  There are sixteen
grandchildren and three great grandchildren.

EIGHTEEN ARE INJURED

LeMars People Escape in Railroad Wreck Near Sheldon

A bad accident occurred north of Sheldon on Saturday evening when the Omaha
train due here at 6:40, was wrecked. Among the passengers were Mrs. George
Steele, Mrs. R.S. Eyers, and Henry Schrooten, of LeMars, returning from the
state fair at Minneapolis. They all escaped injury. Eighteen persons were
injured and a number badly shaken up by the accident. John Sheeley, of
Sioux City, was engineer on the train. He has been many years in railroad
work and this is the first accident in which it has happened to be his
train. Mr. Sheeley is the father of Mrs. H.S. Martin, of this city. L.E.
Kriege of Meadow township, had his shoulder dislocated.

The most seriously injured were:

E.C. Kemnitz, traveling man, Marion, Iowa, head and chest bruised; Mrs. O.W.
Thompson, Billings, Mont., leg bruised and internal injuries; ___ Cates, of
Texas, contusion of the spine; S. Halverson, Worthing, Minn., back hurt and
head badly cut; A.W. Long, express messenger, head cut and bruised; Dave
Burke, Bernard, Iowa, neck and foot cut and contusions; Mr. Streeter, Sioux
City, stomach injured; M.W. Gordon, 1326 Twenty-third street, head badly
cut; Jack Smith, St. Paul, conductor, back and leg hurt.

Others who were slightly injured were: Charles Smith, Galva, Iowa, hip
bruised; R.E. Garland, Sheldon, Iowa, back hurt; C.H. Rounds, Farrar, Iowa,
bruised; E.C. Emboy, Minneapolis, back and leg bruised; L.L. Kellogg, Sioux
City, badly shaken up; L.E. Kriege, Remsen, Iowa, shoulder dislocated;
Robert Schultz, Fargo, N.D., should and head badly bruised.

A broken wheel on the engine tender or on the baggage car is believed to
have caused the accident. The tracks were so deeply buried in the ground
that it was impossible to tell what caused the accident. The track for a
distance of 400 feet was entirely torn up. The engine remained upright.

The tender, baggage car, mail car, smoker, two day coaches and diner
entirely left the track, while the front trucks of the observation car also
went on the ties.

It was in the baggage car and smoker that most of the persons were injured.
When the smoker left the rails, it turned completely over, throwing all of
the passengers out of their seats.

The baggage car and mail car were thrown on their side over the right of way
fence. One of the day coaches was turned at right angles across the track,
while the other coach was left standing along the track with one end against
the first coach. The diner was partly turned over. The train ran on the ties
for nearly 500 feet before it broke up. Neither Engineer John Sheeley, of
Sioux City, nor Fireman Henry Jacobson, of St. James, Minn., was injured.

Train No. 3 was reported late at Sheldon and was running fast in order to
make up time. The accident occurred on a straight stretch of track. The fact
that the engine did not turn over disproves the theory of spreading rails,
according to railroad men. Had the rails spread, the engine could not have
remained on the track.

As soon as the accident became known at Sheldon five doctors and nurses, in
automobiles, were rushed to the scene. The injured persons were taken to
Sheldon to two hospitals and their wounds dressed there. The more seriously
injured were being held there until they recover sufficiently to travel. A
relief train of two day coaches and a baggage coach was made up and brought
the crew and the passengers to their destinations along the line.

AFTER LONG ILLNESS
GEORGE E. RICHARDSON, LEMARS PIONEER, PASSES AWAY
PROMINENT IN BUSINESS CIRCLES

Came Here When a Young Man and Launched Business Career Which Proved Most
Successful-Had Been Ill For a Year and Half.

George Richardson, for more than thirty years a leading citizen of LeMars
and widely known in Northwestern Iowa and Minnesota, died at his home on
West Sixth street on Friday night, shortly before midnight, following a
lingering illness due to pernicious anemia. The end came peacefully.

Mr. Richardson, who lived an active and useful life, was taken sick about a
year and a half ago and although at times he was apparently better, never
regained his former health. Mr. and Mrs. Richardson returned a week prior to
his death from Gull Lake, Minn., where they went for a change and outing.
Mr. Richardson feeling better and stronger when they went north.

Friends thought that his health was improving of late and the news of his
death came as a distinct shock to many of them and to the community at
large.

Mr. Richardson was a man of strong personality, virile, vigorous and
resourceful. He was gifted by nature and a fine physician and was always
full of optimism and bubbling with cheerfulness. Of a sanguine turn of mind,
he inspired others with cheerfulness and in his younger days was the life
and soul of any gathering in which he chanced to take part or be present.
His name associated with several others, some of whom have gone and some of
whom are still here, will always be inseparably associated with the growth
and upbuilding of LeMars.

In earlier days he was in the van when the subject of public improvements
was broached and was one of the men who were successful in bringing Western
Union college to this town. As a young man, he grasped the opportunities
presented in northwestern Iowa and as a real estate man boomed land in this
section, and was instrumental in inducing many to settle on the fertile
prairies. In later years he conducted an extensive land business at Hallock,
Minn., dividing his time between the LeMars and Minnesota offices. He came
to LeMars in the heyday of his youth and vigor and without monetary capital,
but gifted with determination and a desire to work, made a success of life
and accumulated a fine fortune, being rated one of the wealthiest men in the
community.

George Ellery Richardson was born at Springfield, Mass., on May 17, 1850.
When he was three years old his parents, Joshua and Sarah Hale Richardson,
and an uncle, Benjamin Ellery Hale, moved west, locating at Batavia,
Illinois, where they engaged in the manufacture of cars. The senior
Richardson then moved to Independence, Iowa, and to Iowa Falls in 1861,
where George Richardson received his early training and attended school.

The Richardson sawmill and the old swimming hole nearby are historic spots.
George Richardson was brought up in the school of hard knocks, was subjected
to several training and early was taught to work hard and also the value of
the dollar. It is related by boyhood friends that when he could get away
from his tasks and join in games and sports, he was the merriest of the
crowd and the keenest at baseball. In swimming, hunting or other sports, and
was always in the mood for pranks and jokes.

After completing his school ____, he went to Marengo, where he engaged in
the produce business. In 1878 he came to LeMars and engaged in the land
business with Clay Bros. A few years later he embarked in business on his
own account and was soon marked as one of the successful men of the
community. He was united in marriage at Marengo, Iowa, on February 16, 1883,
with Miss Flaugher. To their union one daughter, Lucille, was born. She is
now the wife of W.A. Coad, of Hull, Iowa, and they have three children. Mr.
Richardson is also survived by one sister, Mrs. L.D. Clay, of Iowa Falls.
His mother died recently at the age of ninety years.

A few years ago Mr. and Mrs. Richardson built one of the finest homes in
LeMars one the place on West Sixth street, where they have lived for many
years.

The home life of Mr. Richardson was ideal. He was devoted to his wife and
daughter and his little grandchildren. The grandchildren he always wanted
around him in the closing years of his life. Mr. Richardson, always an
ardent sportsman, taking delight in shooting and fishing and other manly
sports.

He made a number of staunch friends during his lifetime and many are the
regrets heard on the news of his death. The funeral was held yesterday
afternoon at the home on West Sixth street and was largely attended. Rev.
J.J. Steele, of the First Congregational church, of which the deceased was a
member, officiated at the services. The pallbearers were Geo. McLain, Nic
Hentges, E.A. Dalton, A.J. Bowers, H.S. Martin and H. Atwood.

Among the out-of-town relatives and friends at the funeral were Mrs. L.D.
Clay and Mrs. Coon of Iowa Falls; Ed Clay of Omaha; John Kain, of
Breckenridge, Minn.

PIONEER WOMAN GONE
Mrs. Fred Hancer Resided Here For Forty Years

Merrill Record: Mrs. Fred Hancer, another good Plymouth county mother, has
passed to her reward. For the last two or three months she has patiently
endured the pain from an internal cancer and while those about her knew that
death was only a short distance in the future-hours, days, possible weeks,
she hoped on until the last in spite of her realization of the seriousness
of her trouble. She was a noble hearted Christian lady and to such, death
has no terror and when the end drew very near she was ready to cross with
the boatman to the other shore.

Emma Catherine House was born at Cumberland, Md., July 23, 1851, and died at
Merrill, Iowa, September 13, 1917, aged 66 years, 1 month and 21 days. When
she was one year old, her parents came west to Iowa City. At the age of 17
she was converted and joined the Christian church and later became a member
of the United Brethren church to which she still belonged.

On November 21, 1871, she was united in marriage to Fred Hancer at Iowa
City, and emigrated to Plymouth county in 1876. To this union six children
were born, three of which have preceded their mother to the beyond, Frank
E., Parley F., and Mrs. Edith Hancer Snyder. Three remain with the husband
to mourn her departure, Mrs. Estella Winter, of Hinton; Harry Hancer, of
Merrill; and Mrs. Hazel Nelson, of Hyde Park, Utah.
