Craig, I looked through 38 issues of the American Field dated late 1911 into early 1913 and couldn't find anything on Prairie Bell II or J.W. Capwell. I thought I might hit pay dirt seeing schedules for the Greater Des Moines Kennel Club Show on April 4-6, and Sioux City Show on April 11-13, but the writeup on Des Moines never appeared and the Sioux report said Airedale Terriers had a "strong" showing and noted four of them. Also, no Field Trials were shown in Iowa over that period at least in the AF issues I have. It was a weekly "Sportsman's Newspaper" at that time. I also looked at Stud Dog Registrations and Transfers for Airedales that were listed in all 38 issues but didn't see Prairie Bell II.
Sorry I couldn't help here.
