gage for 81, 800. The mortgage was
filed for record but few days ago and
caused eastern creditors to come on.
Two began an attachment suit for total
of about 5000 and this precipitated the
closing of the store. Other creditors
have representatives, but no further
action has yet been taken. The indebt-
edness to eastern creditors amounts to
some s., 200, making the total liabilities
$4,000. For assets the stock will in
voice almost $4,000 and outstanding
accounts and notes $500 more. Could
these be realized upon Mr.. Andrews
could pay dollar for dollar. He has
done large business for over twelve
years and his failure is due entirely to
slow collections.
A serious accident occurred in
Cedar Rapids, being collision be-
tween an electric car and buggy.
II. G. Waite, prominent dealer in
musical instruments, was driving down
street when he took notion to cross
the track. He saw car coming in
front and waited for it to pass He
then started to cross. In doing so he
swung the horses around, bringing the
buggy square across the track. Just
at that moment car running at the
rate of twenty-five miles an hour,
came from behind and struck the
buggy near the front wheels, carrying
the vehicle and horses about fifty feet
before the frightened motor man could
stop the car. The buggy was com
pletely demolished the horses. slightly
injured and Mr.. Waite considerably
hurt, being thrown on the pavement
and dragged with che rest.
The state closed its evidence in the
barrow murder trial at Hampton. The
defence moved for a dismissal of the
case on the ground that the body of the
murdered man had not been found and
murder had not been proved The
Judge overruled the motion and evil
dence for the defense commenced. They
will attempt to prove that Larson was
not murdered or if murdered, was kill
ed by land agent. The state now
think they have clue to the body of
Larson as divulged in testimony by
Darrow's brother that he was buried In
a small stream beneath the sand. A
searching party will go out to follow
the clue, but the work will be slow on
account of the stream being frozen
over. Darrow's conduct in court is
ridiculous even to his few friends. He
manifests no interest, laughs at wit
nesses, attorneys and judges, and com
mences a sparring with his young
brother at every adjournment. The
detectives employed on the case are
confident of his guilt.
nation to the citizens of the common
wealth calling upon them to give of
their bounteous crops to the suffering
people of Russia. Reference is made
to the fact that when this nation was
in peril, Russia's sympathies were ex-
tended to us, and now that that govern
ment is in sore need of assistance, and
as we have our granaries filed to burst
ing, and our cellars filed to overflow
ing, the governor asks that all take a
part in making return for the mani
festations of good will which helped so
much to hold the union together. He
has appointed as committee to take
charge of the work, one representative
from each congressional district, as fol-
lows, and requests the committee to
meet at the capitol on the Goth inst: b.

A sensational episode occurred on the
20" train just after it left Knoxville.
On board was a theatrical company
en- route to Ottumwa. At Knoxville
recently another company boarded the
cars to go to Creston, where they
opened at Pats opera house. Several
years ago Mr.. Warren Noble, of the
latter company, was running n
dramatic company, and Miss Jennie
Navarro, now of the former company,
was member of his troupe. When
she left, letter written by Mr.. Noble,
not intended for her eyes, fell into the
lady's hands. In the letter Miss Ma
varre first learned that Mr.. Noble had
very poor opinion of her, and that
was not all Direct attacks were made
Miss Navarro has patiently waited for
an opportunity to meet her assailant,
and this was her first chance. AS
soon as the conductor collected the
tickets from the passengers, Miss
Navarro, armed with raw hide whip,
entered the smoker and applied her
weapon to Noble without further cere-
mony. At Abba Mr.. Noble apologized
for the authorship of the letter before
the members of his own and the other
company. Miss Navarro is known in
private life as Miss G. l.. Maitland, and
is held in high esteem by her many
friends in and out of the profession.

IN an entire day searching in the tim
Der and brush for the four men, who
are said to be armed to the teeth. The
Sayers brothers, who are dangerous
characters, leased farm from William
Plummer. When the time came for a
settlement they refused to account for
the crops, and the Plummers applied
for the appointment of a receiver.
John Peters was appointed. While
Peters was in town the Sayers brothers
went to the farm and ordered a man
named Kelly, who was in charge, to
