Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1894-08-23

Three toughs named Ed Stacy,
Riley Metcalf and Reed A. Spracklin
are under bonds to appear before the
Calhoun county grand jury at it's next
setting, to answer complaints made by
Bonheur Bros. for attempted riot
These fellows had laid plan to throw
some eggs at the tent of the Bonheur
| Bros. after their entertainment at
| Muddy, and purchased three dozen
eggs at Rice's store for the purpose.
No reason was manifest for the action
of these roughs except the failure of a
talking machine to work, and as this
was very unimportant feature of the
show, the respectable portion of the
audience express Indignation.
The oldest case ever tried in Wapel-
10 county comes before the Septemb Der
term of the district court, in a suit by
| n. p. Wind, saloon keeper, against
Patrick Doran, wealthy contractor,
for $4,000 damages for personal in
| jury Wind lost his hand and nearly
! died from blood poison contra cted
three months ago from bite by Doran.
They were warm friends, and one night
Wind got into fight with tough in
his saloon, and he called for help.
Doran rushed to his assistance and in
the melee he grasped what he supposed
was Winds opponents hand and began
chewing it. 1t proved to be Winds
| own thumb and hence the suit.

cattle, sheep and swine. The "a meet
ing will furnish fourteen great races
| Good music and numerous special at
fractions to crafty the patrons each
For some time past thefts at Angus
have been very numerous, particularly
so of chickens and garden vegetab les.
| The citizens of the town were more
| than shocked, however, when Enoch
| Lewis, postmaster, was arrested and
| taken before Squire Pratt on charge
of stealing cabbage and onions from
the garden of Rev. w. A. Morris. He
was fined S. and cost, amounting in all
| to So. Lewis was caught in the garden
| by Rev. Morris near midnight, and at
the point of a shotgun was compelled
to surrender, with his basket of veg
ctables Lewis has one of the finest
| houses in the place and was one of the
most respected citizens in town. He
has left town, and just now his where
abouts are not known.
The board of trustees of the Iowa
! Agricultural College, in the interest of
| harmony, has requested the resigna-
ton of Prof III. c. Wallace, Prof G.. E.
| Patrick, Prof. +. A. Leighton and Prof
| ID. A. Kent. All of the above gentle
men are professors IN the agricultural
and dairy departments. The Farm and
| Dairy is an organ devoted to the inter-
ests of dairy farming, of which Prof.
! Curtis and Prof. Wallace are depart
ment editors. This action was wholly
unexpected but is the outcome of a
long continued series of alterations in
| the departments referred to. The
board speaks in terms of high personal
esteem of these gentlemen, but express
themselves as fully determined that the
step was necessary to the well being of
the institution.

Columbian Maid, trotting horse that
was entered in the 2:40 class. The
owner, j. H. Lish, of Danbury, did not
want to give up the horse, and in the
evening he selected a crowd of horse
men who were his friends, and, going
to the stall where the horse was kept,
they attacked the negro who was in
attendance and tried to take the mort
gagged property by force. They were
well supplied with ropes and freely
threatened to lynch the negro for the
part they thought he was playing in
trying to get the horse away from the
owner 1t was not until officers were
called to the race track that the dis
turbance was quelled. The horse was
taken to livery stable,
Marshal Mack of Renwlck arrested a
fellow named Frank Delmade, wanted
at Winterset on charge of seduction
He took him to Des Moines and re-
turned the next day crazy drunk and
proceeded to make things lively about
town. He first attacked Charley Olden
a leading merchant, thrusting two re
volvers at him. He swore he would
shoot, but Olden grabbed the pistol:
by the muzzle and wrenched one away
Mack snapped the other gun, but Older
had his finger on the hammer and pre-
vented its discharge. Olden finally
broke loose and ran. The fellow freC
