Each shot took effect, one in the fore
head, one in the mouth and the other

then went TO Goldsberry Mounce's
place, near by, and shot himself with
a shotgun, blowing off his entire head.

At Marshalltown, in Judge Weaver's
court, Frank PETERS, for the murder
of Jack Gather, the latter part OF Sept
got fifteen years in the "pen." The
Doolittle burglary case was rather re-
markable for brevity and swift retri-
button. The robbery was committed
Nov. 10th and on the 23rd James
O'Brien, the principal offender, was
sentenced to ten years, while the other
two, John Shay and James Morgan,
got six years imprisonment each. In
less than a week from the commission
of the crime they were putting in time
for the State.
One of the saddest deaths on record
occurred at Lawler, Nov. 2lst. Mi
chael Cary, the aged father OF post
master Cary, of that place, arose at
o'clock a. m, and went to the barn to
milk his cows. The old gentleman
used a lighted candle instead of Ian
tern to give light on the subject and in
some unaccountable manner the barn
took fire and burned the cows, hay, and
the old gentleman to crisp. His body
was found by the family among the
debris, the head, arms and feet being
burned off and leaving nothing but the
trunk of the body in recognizable
condition.
Albert Schrimpf, young man aged
twenty, who had been driven from
home by his father year ago, COM
mitted suicide and was found dead on
Burdett's island just above Muscatine.
He had suicided by shooting himself in
the forehead with a revolver which
was held in his right hand when found.
His father is in the habit of getting
drunk and has abused the boy shame
fully. He has attempted several times
to garnishee his wages but failed. He
has followed up his prosecutions of the
boy and so discouraged him that death
was a welcome relief, hence he took
his own life.

Arthur Bosler, young fellow of Is,
at Burlington, was taken to the insane
hospital as "a result of religious ex-
citement. About six weeks ago he
experienced conversion under Mrs
Robinson's evangelistic work and at
once became au enthusiast on the sub
ject of religion, growing more and
more absorbed. A few nights ago he
grew excited during a sermon by
Bishop Warren and sprang into the
pulpit and began to harangue the audi
ence. Next day he attempted the
same thing. He was possessed of
strange vagaries of a religious nature
entirely, and imagined himself to be
great philanthropist and divinely ap-
pointed by God for great mission on
earth. ....-
