The sad news reached; Clarinda Wednesday morning about ten o'clock, of the suicide of Miss Eva Abbott at the home of her father, Rube Abbott, six miles north of Bedford, between nine and ten o'clock that morning. The news same as a shock to a great many Clarinda people for Miss Abbott was raised in this city and made this her home until very recent years, having a large number of friends here who were saddened by the word that she was dying.
Miss Abbott was in the bedroom alone, her brother being in an adjoining room, while Mrs, Abbott was outside of the house not far away. The report of the 22 Calibre revolver, with which the unfortunate young woman took her life, was the first warning that the family had of the awful deed. One shot only was fired, the bullet entering near the temple, and the physician, who was at once called, gave the family no hope whatever for the young woman's recovery, The unfortunate young woman died yesterday afternoon at three o'clock and was laid to rest in the cemetery near Bedford at two this afternoon.
Until two years; ago Miss Abbott was employed at the central office of tha Rural Telephone Co. in this city - having been employed there two years. After leaving her work there she went to California where ahe spent six months, returning to the family home, near Bedford, where she has lived ever since. It is not known what motive she had in taking her life, but for some time she has been in poor health and this coupled with some mental trouble, no doubt caused her action. Word was received in this city Wednesday forenoon and Mrs. Alva Gorel, Miss Abbott's sister, started at once to Bedford. Miss Abbott was twenty-six years old and most of her life was spent in Clarinda, her parents having made this their home since 1859, except for eleven months in 1875 spent in California and eight months, three years later in Colorado.  Mr. Abbott was for many years a member of the city council of Clarinda and for some time acted as street commissioner. The sympathy of their many Clarinda friends is extended to Mr. and Mrs. Abbott and the other members of the family in this sad bereavement.

At the age of 6 months she came with her parents to Salem, Henry county, Iowa, where her early life was spent.
Aug. 30, 1863, she was married to Isaac Warren Abbott. They made their home in Lee county until the year 1868 when they moved to Taylor county.

Sister Abbott was a devoted wife and mother. The home was the center of her interest and there her unselfish heart poured itself out in ministering care. Her mother love overflowed even the bounds of the home circle and she mothered every little child which came around her. The very atmosphere of her household was fragrant with the home spirit and no one ever came within the home without being conscious of the rare spirit which presides over the home. She leaves to her family the precious heritage of a life rich in character and rare in the beauty of its personal Christian quality.
Calm and unafraid, her heart stayed on Him to whom she had committed her trust she slipped away into that rest which awaits the Master's own. She has gone where are the fountains of Eternal youth.

He had repeatedly told his wife and friends that he was but waiting on the Lord, that he was not afraid to die. All was well with his soul. The last time was on Thursday, when hearing the voice of Mrs. Eliza Wilkerson, whom he had known from infancy, he called to her and remarked, "I want you not to worry". And the last words he said to the pastor, on Saturday morning, before leaving for the District Conference, were that, "he was only waiting on the Lord".

Dick Able a young colored man about 21 years of age died Saturday morning at his parent's home in southeast Clarinda.. He had been intensely sick about Twenty-four hours following a night of a drinking carousal, it is said. That brought into publicity Roy Pearce white man selling meats and groceries on 9th street and Winnie Johnson a colored woman. It is alleged Dick took the young woman to the store last Thursday night by request or on his own valition when fancy drinks, canned goods, cheese, crackers, pickles, etc, were indulged in freely until a late or early hour when plain whiskey, lemon essence, alcohol, etc., was good enough. Dick being the most generous because it was free. Finally Morpheus siezed the revelers and sweet sleep was enjoyed in chairs or other convenient pieces by some while Dick made up his bed on top of a large refrigerator againt protest from his companions. He probably rolled over in search of a softer spot in time and landed on a barrel and tin cans before reaching the floor. He laid in a stupor till morning when he was taken home and a physician called. It was a sight they say to see the conglomeration pumped and extracted from his internal region. But it did no good and he paid the penalty of debauchery. Saturday Roy went to the Omaha cyclone wreck and. Winnie Johnson to meet a friend at Creston. That called out reports of foul play, murder, etc, from some dusky denizens. Winnie was arrested in Creston and brought back by Sheriff Whitmore. Roy says he heard of the reports in Omaha and hurried home, driving from Villisca, and at once interviewed the sheriff. Both were landed in jail during an investigation. A post mortem was had of Dick's anatomy the whole affair well sifted, they say, and Coroner Clark declared that death was caused from acute alcoholism. The funeral was held Monday afternoon and the body placed in the bosom of mother earth for purification. Roy and Winnie were held in jail until yesterday; and as no evidence it is said could be obtained to convict them on the charge of murder or other offense of the law, they were set free without trial. It is hoped they will go and sin no more. Thus ends one of the most disgraceful affairs ever enacted in our community and it seems too bad that actual justice cannot be meted out to the offenders of decency, law and good order.

How Villisca Man Lost His Life at Crossroads Near Clarinda
In The Journal of last week was brief reference to the automobile accident whereby W. A. Atwood of Villisca lost his life near Clarinda. The collision of his car with that of Lester Lindley of Nebraska township took place at the four corners on the Bee Line where that highway running north and south between Clarinda and Villisca crosses the road running east and west between Hawleyville and Clarinda past the Willowdale branch of the Clarinda State Hospital. The Villisca Review of Jan. 30 gave details of the life of Mr. Atwood in connection with the accident, and said:
"By the accident that took the life of one of Villisca's well known citizens, the people of this city are again reminded of the uncertainty of life.
At 9.55 last Friday morning W. A. Atwood, full of life and vigor, started in his auto to make a brief business trip to Clarinda, expecting to return in two hours to make another trip. He was driving south on the Clarinda road when he reached the intersection of the Hawleyville road about four miles this side of Clarinda.
Lester Lindley, living four miles northeast of Hawleyville with his wife, daughter and an uncle in the Maxwell car he was driving, was going west on the Hawleyville road. The two cars reached the crossing at the same instant. A hedge along the roadside intercepts the view to some extent, and it is very probable that the drivers did not see each other until they were close together. Mr. Atwood circled to the right to avoid the Lindley car, but he was just a few seconds too late to get out of the way. The left front corner of the Lindley machine struck the Atwood car with terrific force, upsetting it and turning it squarely around. Mr. Atwood was thrown to the ground, and was lying a rod away from his car. Nobody saw just what happened, but it is likely that the car in its motions struck him as he lay on the ground, then rebounded. Mr. Atwood was unconscious and evidently badly injured. The accident occurred at 10:30 o'clock.
Mr. Lindley immediately stopped to render assistance to the wounded man and just then Mr. Nicholls of Corning drove up, and the three men put Mr. Atwood into the Nicholls car, and he was taken to the Kennelworth hospital at Clarinda. Mr. Lindley's uncle, whose name The Review did not learn, held Mr. Atwood on the journey to Clarinda.
They arrived at the hospital about noon, and every thing possible was done for the injured man, but to no avail.  He regained consciousness for a short time, but soon lapsed again into a condition of coma in which he remained until two o'clock when he passed away. His right shoulder was badly crushed, the bone being broken in two or three places. Two or three ribs were broken, one of which at least penetrated his right lung. There were minor bruises about the head. It was reported that the back bone was broken, but this The Review has not been able to verify. The body was brought home Friday evening.
Mr. Atwood's car was badly injured. Both the rear wheels were smashed and the top badly damaged. Mr. Lindley's car escaped without a great deal of injury. The bumper and fender in front were somewhat damaged, and this is about all.
Deceased, who was the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Atwood, old settlers of this vicinity, was born Jan. 2, 1866, near Morton Mills, about eleven miles north of Villisca. He grew to manhood in the vicinity of his birth. March 1, 1902, he was united in marriage to Miss Margaret Thompson of Villisca..
About a year after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Atwood moved to Villisca, and have since that time made this city their home. During this time Mr. Atwood was engaged in the piano business. Some time ago he invented a piano loader, which was being manufactured for him by the Lisle Manufacturing company of Clarinda. He was on his way to confer with his manufacturers when the fatal accident occurred.
He is survived by his wife and three daughters, Pauline, aged 13; Prudence, aged 9; and Mila, aged 1. He also leaves his aged father, three brothers, Samuel and Joseph of Villisca, Charles of Council Bluffs; and one sister, Mrs. Lester of Streator, Ill.
Mr. Atwood was a member of the Presbyterian church of this city.   He was a member of the Modern Woodmen and held insurance in that order. He had other insurance besides.
The sympathies of the community go out to the bereaved family so quickly and so cruelly deprived of a husband and father, the loss of whom comes with crushing force. Of Mr. Atwood it may well be said that he was a good citizen, a man of strict integrity and unblemished character. No man in this vicinity had more sincere friends than he, and there is universal sorrow because of his tragic death.
The funeral was held at the Presbyterian church Monday at 2:30 p.m., Rev. W. J. Ewing, of Deep River, Iowa, former Presbyterian pastor here, officiating. The attendance was very large.  Interment was in Villisca cemetery.

The following named persons from out of town attended the funeral: Mrs. Harry Lester of Streator, Illinois, Mrs. Lela Kimbel of Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Atwood of Council Bluffs, Mrs. C. Crowe of Massena, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Binder of Bigelow, Mo., Mrs. O. B. Burkey of Van Wert, Iowa, Mrs. M. G. Mullen and daughters, Aleda and Ina of Corning, Nathan Church of Corning, Miss Elizabeth Mullen of Red Oak, Mrs. Henry Thompson of Gregory, S. Dak

W. A. Atwood Collides North of Clarinda, With Car of Farmer Near / Hawleyville. Leaves Family.

W. A. Atwood, piano dealer of Villisca, died in the Kennelworth hospital in this city, Friday afternoon, as the result of injuries received in automobile accident that morning about 10:30 o'clock when his car ran into a Maxwell automobile driven by L. A. Lindley of Nebraska township. Both men were coming toward Clarinda, the accident occurred at a well known corner northeast of Clarinda where the Villisca and Hawleyville roads meet.
Accident Was Unavoidable.
According to the testimony of witnesses to the tragedy it was one of those unavoidable accidents which so often happen in the traffic world. Lindley was driving west at a speed of about fifteen miles per hour, he states, and did not see the Atwood car coming from the north until he shot into the junction of the roads, when he suddenly slowed down, but the car from the north which was said to be going at a speed of about twenty-five miles per hour, struck his a glancing blow and was turned over and over with fatal results to its occupant. The Lindley car was not turned over and was not seriously damaged.
Injured Man Not Conscious.
The occupants of the Lindley car immediately brought the injured man to Clarinda and he was taken to the Kennelworth hospital. He did not fully regain consciousness before his death, asking questions as to where he was and what was the matter. He was suffering from several broken ribs and from internal injuries about the chest, the heart action being very weak. His family, which consists of his wife and three daughters did not see him before he died.
Was Making Business Trip Here.
Mr. Atwood was making a business trip to Clarinda to see the Lisle Manufacturing company about a piano truck which he was having made there. The car which he was driving was a Ford delivery truck for pianos. It was badly smashed up by the accident, and when the service car went out after it that night the tires were found stolen from it.
In Mr. Lindley's car were his wife and his daughter, Louie, and his uncle, Cyrus Lindley, of Kansas, whom they were bringing to the city. The Lindley's live on a Nebraska township farm just at the top of the hill before the road reaches Hawleyville.

Corning Man Saw Accident.
A. P. Nichols, a farmer living near Coming, who was driving to Clarinda on business, was behind Atwood from the river bridge to the point of the accident, and says that be thinks Atwood was driving about twenty-five miles per hour, as he was going that speed himself and did not gain any on him.
