suit OF dark clothes. In his pockets
were an old pipe, two lead pencils and
75 cents in silver. His name could
not be learned
The Rock Island, the Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy. the Toledo, Peoria
and Wabash, and the other lines doing
business at Keokuk are consulting to-
gether with the idea of building SIS,
| 600 Union depot at that point. The
Chicago, Burlington e. Quincy is to
pay two-fifths of the whole cost, the
Rock Island one-fifth, and the remain
ing two-ffths are to be divided among
the other interested lines.
+, Z. Jennings, of Mt. Union, Henry
county, left his comfortable home, n
loving wife and bright little daughter
seven years OF age, on the 31st day of
December, last, intending to go to
Burlington for the purpose of making
a payment of $500 on steam thresh-
ing machine which he had purchased
a few months previous. His family
and relatives have not heard from him
since he left, and the supposition is
that he was foully dealt with for the
purpose Of securing his money.
A most shocking ARRAY took place
about ten miles from DEBORAH few
evenings ago. During the progress Of
a dance row took place In which
three young fellows were fearfully cut
and stabbed by one Daniel Hayes, of
Ridgway, a harness maker by trade.
1t is thought one of the men will die,
he being cut in several places; the
knife penetrated and cut open one of
his kidneys. Hayes was arrested by
posse and lodged in the county Jail
to await the action OF the grand jury.
The brutal treatment OF his wife by
Frederick Rupert, at Iowa City. con-
tinues to be the talk in that city. 1t
is said that many nights have been
| spent by her in cold, cherries rooms
on account of the brutal treatment of
her husband. The case has created a
sensation, and strong expressions of
condemnation are heard everywhere.
The neighbors are especially aroused
and say the wife is hard working
woman who has supported the family
by washing and other work while the
brutal husband drank up his wages.
Hans Paulsen, of Rock Island, is
evidently subsidized by the reporters
on the other side of the river to keep
them supplied with fresh news, says
the Davenport Democrat. Every day,
some times twice day or more, he
goes out upon IA weak spot in the ice
and breaks through into the river.
The last time he did this he went
down with a pipe in his mouth and
came up again still smoking. He has
/ orse that can fall in almost as sue
cessfully as he does himself. They are
a great team for news.
The trustees of Scott township,
Poweshiek county, are preparing to
make raid on Harry Haines, the
miser who killed the robber Howell a
couple of years ago while the latter
was trying to rob him of his money.
Haines is worth $4,000 and lives
alone in little building near Hickory
Grove. He gives his person no care
whatever and is too filthy to be toler-
ated if there was some way to reach
him. His home is unfit for human
being to occupy. All appeals to him
to change his manner of living proved
of no avail, and if the trustees can
''abate" him as nuisance they will
probably do it. The cause of his
solitude and misery conduct all comes
from disappointment in love severa
years ago
Albert Senior, of Council Bluffs, is
dead. At one time Selmer was one of
the brightest minds in the Wisconsin
state senate and his home was one of
affluence in Milwaukee. He married
and a family of two sons and two
daughters bore his name. He was a
prosperous manufacturer and wealth
and honors were his, but misfortune
overlook him and everything he de.
sired and loved deserted him. He
took to drink and his family left him.
Ten years ago he drifted to Council
Bluffs. During the last three years he
has worked with but one object--to
buy whisky. A few days ago his dis
solute habits eliminated and he was
taken to a public hospital, where he
died. He was considered by those who
knew him as miserable creature of
circumstances, who was more sinned
against than SHINING.
Judge Andrew j. Davis. probably
the richest man in Montana, died
March 18th, at the age of II. His
estate is variously valued at $6,00U,-
900 to $40, 900, 900. He is thought to
have left no will and was unmarried.
His brother, John A. Davis, of Chi
ago, was at his bedside at the closing
hours. Twelve years ago Mr.. Davis
bought the Lexington mine in Butte
for $50 debt. He sold the largest
part OF his interest in it eighteen
months ago for 81 900, 900 to the Lex
ington company. The mines output
up to that time had been 81 800, 900.
He was largely interested in other
mines. had a controlling interest in
the National Bank of Butte, and owned
A per cent of the stock of the First
National Bank of Helena. A. j. Davis
was we'll known in Ottumwa, having
been one OF the first men toopen a dry |!
goods store in that place. For many |
