The Anti Monopoly County Convention

The Autobiography County Convention
that met at the Court House last Saturday
passed resolution endorsing ID. ID. lIOl-
bridge for the Congressional nomination
of that party, and instructing the dele
gates to the Convention to work for him.
This was designed to tickle our friend
IIoldridge, and is we'll enough. But we
have too high an opinion of his good
sense to believe that he is highly clated
over the prospect of his nomination. He
doubtless appreciates the fact that in this
matter of the nomination for Congress, the
hungry Democracy after fourteen years
of enforced abstinence, are not going to
relnquish the most promising prospect of
feeding at the public crib they have en-
joyed in all that time, simply because the
nomination is asked for member of
that shadoway organization, the
Liberal Party. We opine that his
good nature and not his hopes, will &C
count for our friend Holdridge's consent
for the use of his name in this connection

notices with which our contemporaries
greeted the temperance of the BULLETIN.
TO our editorial brethren who have made
mention Of ourselves and our city in such
kindly terms we extend our profound ackss
nowledgcments and gratitude.
The Buchanan County BULLETIN made
its appearance again last week, looking
just rs well as it used to before the great fire
An excellent diagram of the "burnt dis
trict," with full particulars of the fire, ap-
propriately fills the greatest portion of the
second page. The BULLETIN list of losses
foots up $3.50, 1913, with 230, 5S1 insurance.
The Wilcox estate is down for $4,000
loss, with only $4,000 insurance. A
number of the unfortunates are already
making preparations to rebuild, and we
hope the time is not far distant when In
dependence will be again, what she was
before the fire, the handsomest and most
prosperous town in the interior of Iowa. -

HEAVY VERDICT-In the case of Mrs.
Emma T. Anderson against the Illinois
Central Railroad, tried in the Circuit
Court of this county last week, the jury
returned a verdict of $15, 600 for the plain
tiff. Mrs. Anderson is the widow of II.
T. Anderson, a fireman on the road, who
was killed in the smash upat Farley about
one year ago. AS the verdict was not in
accordance with the instructions of the
Court, it is not unlikely that new trial
will be granted. An appeal will be taken
to the Supreme Court as a last resort. A
suit for damages brought by Mrs. TillOt-
son, widow of the engineer killed at the
same time, will be tried at Waterloo next
week,

WINTHROP had genuine sensation last
week, in the exploits of a swindler named
Day, who for day or two rode high
horse in that locality. In his assumed
characters of Mason, preacher, and CAPT
talist, he set the whole town agog, cspec-
tally as he gave ont that he designed to
start banking house with fabulous CAPT
al in that smart town. He negotiated for
real estate, patronizcd the Masonic frater-
nifty, went out into the wilderness of Pine
Creek to preach, borrowed funds until he
could negotiate the large drafts (?) in his
possession, and finally ended the comedy
by borrowing clean shirt with studs at
tached, of a brother Mason, and lighting
out for parts unknown. He was next
heard from, however, at Wavcrly where
he was preparing to enact the same role,
but the arrival of Deputy Sheriff Patter-
son with pressing invitation to return,
cut short his career, and he now anguish
eth in Castle Farr.
