BOU6HT HOTEL AT DENNISON
Leo McTague Sells Interest in Win
neshiek and Buys Fine 53 Room
Hotel at Dennison, lowa.
Takes Possession July 15. Winneshiek
Taken Over July Ist by Edwin
A. Boss Who Keneently
Purchased the Building.
Last week Leo McTague who has
been the manager of the Winneshiek
hotel here for the past eighteen
months, went to Dennison, lowa,
where he closed a deal for the pur
chase of the Hotel Dennison, a fine,
modern 55 room hotel. Dennison is
the county seat of Crawford county,
has a population of 4,000 and is lo
cated on the Lincoln Highway about
. 80 miles from Omaha.
Mr. McTague got a nine year lease
on the Hotel Dennison and he re
ports it just as fine a hotel as the
Winneshiek and doing a good busi-,
ness. He will take possession July
15. Mr. McTague sold his interests
in the Winneshiek here to Edwin A.
Boss, of Oelwein, who recently pur
chased the building from the stock
holders. Mr. Boss owns a string of
hotels over the state. A new man
ager will be in charge here the first
of the month.
The hundreds of friends here of j
Mr. and Mrs. McTague will regret;
very much to know they are going to
leave Decorah. Mr. McTague is a
first class hotel man and has given
excellent service here at the Winne
shiek and the business has steadily
increased under his management. Mr.
McTague had a lease on the Winne
shiek here for some time yet, but
the fact of the building being sold
prompted him to look for another
desirable location, and the Dennison
proposition appealed to him and he
decided to take the hotel now.
Mr. and Mrs. McTague will be
greatly missed here, but their scores
of friends will wish them, luck, hap
piness and prosperty in their new
home.

THIS WEEK
Spend the Fourth
Bank Robbers for a few Minutes
Only; Then Free
Word reached here by telephone
last Saturday morning from Sheriff
Wright of Fayette county to pick
up a Buick car No. so and so, con
taining four men, who were supposed
to have robbed the bank at Dundee
of about $5,000 the evening previous.
Chief Bellows soon had his
Postville Pinkertons assembled and
armed to the teeth with heavy ar
tillery and stationed them up near
the Fanners creamery, as the des
peradoes were supposed, to be headed
this way from Clermont. The news
rapidly spread about town and ev
erybody was on pins, for they know
the Postville police force is strong on
capturing big game, having caught a
mounted and armed murderer (Earl
Throst) just a few months ago. In
about a half hour a car contain ng
four men pulled into town wi.h Chief
of Police Bellows and Sergeant
Brooks on either side, with guns in
position for rapid file action, and a
great mob followed the car up the
street to the telephone office to get
a look at four real dyed in the wool
desperadoes who had been captured
alive and without the shedding of a
drop of blood. The men protested
their innocence and claimed they
were residents of Hawkeye. Tele
phone communication soon establish
ed their identity and they were im
mediately released and went on their
way rejoicing, though their car No.
tallied with the one phoned here.
As ’’Buster” Spillman and Lloyd
Ean were returning home from De
corah late Saturday night in Spill
man’s car, they were approached a
short distance north of town by sev
eral men who demanded them to
stop. Instead of stopping, “Buster”
stepped on the accelerator and sped
on home at full speed. The m*i
blocked the road and evidently in
tended to relieve “Buster” and Lloyu
of their purses. The speeding car
sent one of the men head first into
the ditch—and the boys arrived home
with their purses intact.—Ossian Bee.

CELEBRATION IN BIG CANOE
Community Center Big ( anoe ( hurch
Grounds Will Hold Big Fourth
July Celebration.
A big Fourth of July celebration
will be held at the Community Cen
ter, Big Canoe church grounds this
year. A good entertainment will be
provided, also a big sale. A delicious
dinner will be served and there will
be plenty of refreshments and lunches
on the grounds also.
Those who have the celebration in
charge state that they will guarantee
the weather, also a nice crowd. The
grounds provide plenty of good shade
and there will be plenty of room to
park cars, and everybody is cordially
invited to attend.
Rev. H. M. Normann, of Cresco,
will be the main speaker of the day.
Rock Island Officials Here
A number of Rock Island officials
; made a visit to Decorah last Thurs-
I day in their private car, coming up
for an inspection of the Decorah
division. The party included M. A.
Patterson, general freight agent, of
Chicago; W. S. Brooks, general live
stock agent, Chicago; A. L. Halde
man, superintendent. Cedar Rapids
and E. L. Goff, division freight agent,
Davenport.
The officials were given a ride
about the city by Wm. Hart and E.
W. Oxley. They visited the City
Park and Dunnings Spring, and also
took a trip out to the oil well. While
coming down the incline at Dunnings
Springs Mr. Patterson sustained a
fall, which 'gave him a severe shak
ing up. A good pair of steps built
at thi3 particular place would be a
mighty fine improvement and enable
easy access to the top. No doubt,
later on, this matter will be attend
ed to.
Many a speaker thinks that be
cause of the applause he has made
a convincing argument when he
only has made a funny one.
Don’t worry, but if you do, don’t
worry others with your worries.
Swallowed a Fish Bone
Death caused by a fish bone which
has been accidentally swallowed and
which pierces the intestines, is ac
cidental death within the meaning of
accident insurance contracts, is the
verdict of Judge Ralph Otto at lowa
City, who hahded down such a deci
sion in a trial there after taking the
case away from the jury. The case
involved the recent death of Alton
Jilovec, who carried an accident pol
icy in the Central Business Men’s
Association to the amount of SI,OOO.
He died from peritonitis, after swal
lowing a fish bone and after an op
eration had been made in an effort
to save his life.
Killing Tramps and Feeding Dog
Mike Walters, town marshal of
Highland, Wis., made his annual re
port to the trustees last week aHu
among other items was this one:
“For killing tramps and feeding
clog, s4.’’ The wording was not dis
covered until the j clerk began »to
audit the bills and wrhile it reads
oddly it was probably what was on
the officer’s mind, for he is a lover of
dogs and a hater of the “calaboose
lixard.’’—Ex.
Put Up Some Cherry Olives
The cherry season is now with us.
Why not can some cherry olives to
use as appetizers with next winter’s
meat dishes, these tasty appetite
teasers are easily made. Select
sound, not over ripe cherries. Leave
the stems on. Wash and pack them
in glass jars. To each quart jar add
1 tablespoon salt, 1 cup vinegar and
then fill the jar with cold
Put on rubbers and seal. This gives
a pickled cherry resembling ripe
olives in taste and appearance. You“I
like them.—Postville Herald.
Card of Thanks
The undersigned desire to express
their sincere thanks to the many
kind friends for their many expres
sions of sympathy and floral offer
ing in our recent bereavement.
