WONUMENT FOR DU MWSON AWAY A.TWAUCONDA The clipping below, taken from a recent issue of thfe Chicago Record Herald, will be of interest to many Plaindealer readers, as the subject of the sketch was well known in McHen fry, Where he assisted Dr. C. H. Fevers for a short time previous to his last illness and death. "A granite shaft erdoted by persons whom he had at one time befriended will soon stand itt the little cemetery at Wauconda, 111., a belated tribute to the memory of *a 'doctor "who never asked a fee.' "Dr. Joseph Dawson, who, it was frequently said, 'had more friends than any man in Lake county,' died two years ago practically penniless, and, it was thought, without kin. No one came to claim the body, and the physi cian who for more than a dozen years had ministered to the sick of Waucon­ da and neighboring- villages was buried by friends in the little "country grave­ yard. "Who Dr. Dawson was or where he came from no one In Wauconda knew. When he came to the village about twelve years a^po and engaged a room at the Tittle bote! some curiosity was expressed, but to all hints and ques­ tions he vouchsafed no satisfactory Peply. ! " *1 came from California,' he said 4I have a wife and child there, but I like it here and I want to remain "After a'few weeks he hired a small office and here for ten years, or until his dearth, he lived, his only companion being a collie dog. "Dr. Dawson hti&xm* physical defect, A stiff knee joint, bat this and the mys tery which Surrounded his early life were soon forgotten by the people of Wauconda. But a fe*r month* had elapsed before mothers learned that "Doc" Dawson could-administer medi oine which soothed their children and cured thefm of their Ailments. It was also learned tbfct he was a good sur­ geon and could 'fl* tip a broken bone as well as the best Of 'them.' Another thing which -added* greatly to his pop­ ularity was th# fact that the night was never too cold or rainy, the snow was never too deep nor the way was never too long for "Doc" Dawson to answer a call. Furthermore, he was never known to present & bill. "Those who wished to pay were al­ lowed to do so, but never did he, it is said, ask for a dollar on account. After the first year Dr. Dawson's practice so increased that it became necessary for him to have a horse and buggy of his own. The stiff knee joint he found a handicap to comfortable rid­ ing, so, with his usual ingenuity and his lack of regard for appearances, he solved the difficulty. The bottom of the buggy was removed and a soap box nailed in its place, thus allowing the stiff limb plenty of room to lie straight while jogging over countryroads. The traits of character and the eccentricities which so endeared the physician to the citizens of Lake coun­ ty that they now propose a shaft to his memory are told by -Joseph F. Bou- chonville, 2724 Diversey avenue, who has charge of the fund. He would never talk about him­ self further than to say that he had a wife and child in California,' said Mr. Bouchonville. 'He made lots of money, but spent most of it buying food and coal for poor people during the winter months. I recall that several years before his death several of his friends, seeing that his old soap box buggy was about gone, bought him a new one. He tried to use it for a time, but soon gave it back to us and said he liked the old one best.' " [Crystal Lake Herald.] On last Saturday night about 1:30 p. m., Shelby S. Brogan, a brakeman on freight train Nb. 492, was instantly killed near Terra Cotta. 1 The freight had pulled down from McHenry and had stopped on the main track in front of the station at Terra Cotta. The engine with Brogan and the other brakeman, E. Erlandson, pulled down from the train a'short distance and went back on a siding to pick up four cars. Coming back to the main track, the four cars were shoved up to the train, while the engine went up an­ other siding to get two tool cars. The four cars which were shoved up to the train failed to make a coupling, un­ known to the crew, and started back down a slight grade, going to a short distance north of the switch to Koier's gravel pits. The engine now came down the siding to the main track, pushing the two tool cars which were intended to be taken down Koier's switch. The two brakemen were,rid ing on the front platform of the first car. When they saw the cars only length or two-ahead Erlandson shouted to Brogan to jump. Frogan did not jump in time and was crushed between the cars, while Erlandson got off with very slight injury. The engine was backing down with such speed that it telescoped the two cars that hit, mak ing it necessary to cut away the ends of one car in order to reach Brogan's body. He was taken to Warner's un­ dertaking establishment. That night, Sunday, Coroner Peck was notified and at once impaneled a jury consisting of R. J. Warner, Wm. Hoi 1st, Chas. Babcock, J. V. Kee, C. H. Truax and V. Shales. After view­ ing the remains and hearing the testi­ mony of the train crew, the jury re turned a verdict of accidental death The members of the train crew were H. E. Basset, conductor; E. Erlandson and Shelby Brogan, front brakemen; H. C. Arons, rear brakeman, and the engineer and fireman, not named. Mr. Brogan's home was at Craw- fordsville, Ark., where he leaves a stepfather as his only relative. He was about twenty-six years old and had been working for the Chicago & North­ western railroad about two and one half years. He was a member of the Order of ^Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. The remains were shipped to his former home Monday.

A burglar's kit, comprising such tools as a "jimmy," skeleton keys, locks and burglar's lantern, were dis­ covered in the camp occupied by Charles Bjornson, the Chicago man who is be­ ing held by the Lake county authorities on a charge of murder. Immediately following the arrest of the alleged slayer, Sheriff Green and his deputies searched the camp. The burglar's kit and a number of revol­ vers and rifles were found in an old valise under the cot which the ujkur-, dered man lay. Since the arrest of Bjornson, Sheriff Green has enlisted the aid of the police and detectives of Chicago and Milwau-: kee in his attempt to learn the true identity of the murderer and the ma&' he is alleged to have murdered. Bjornson was taken to Waukegan itr an automobile. He asked the sheriff not to take him to Cnicago. Sheriff Green will have the alleged slayer's picture taken at once and photographs will be sent to all the big detective bureaus in the United States for possible identifica­ tion. The alleged murderer is non-com­ mittal. He refuses to discuss the fight in which he is alleged to have partici­ pated. When questioned by the local authorities he will turn his back and walk to the other side of his eell. Mouse Wiring BEST OF EVERYT SAMUEL and Supplies f NG ELEC1' RlC' M«?HENRY, ILL.
