He sued the company for $4,000.
Some time ago p. H. Stepphun and
j. M. ELDERS, of Carroll, engaged in
the saloon business. After few weeks
they became engaged in quarrel and
Stephunn brought the case into court
for dissolution. Albers, through his
attorney, demurred, claiming that the
court had no jurisdiction, that on the
face of the petition the saloon business
was illegal and that the court could
not take cognizance of an illegal bust
ness. Judge Church sustained the de-
murrer and the case was thrown out of
court, practically making the saloon
in Iowa, even if operated under the
mulct law, legal outcast, yet amen
able to the law.
A Sioux City dispatch says: Unless
some one heads off the radical temper
ance people of this city, it will soon be
getting it's drinks over on the Nebraska
side, as in the old days The w. c. L.
U. has set copyists at work copying the
lists of petition signatures on file in
the auditors Office, with view of
thorough investigation of the legality
of the petitions. They were not ques-
toned at the time of their fling but it
is now evident that the courts will be
called upon to review the entire pro-
ceeding as well as to decide whether
the saloon can run at present with the
open violation of some features of the
law.
The tuberculosis scare has broken out
at Algona. Two dairy herds have
been examined by the state veterina-
rian, DR. NJ Stalker, and one of them,
owned by c. NJ. Lind, ex-member of
the legislature, was found to have
twenty-three diseased cattle in it.
Lind is furious and fairly crazed over
his loss. He invited the test, and now
1T is SAID, he is trying to find some way
to discredit it. DR.. Stalker has quaran-
tined the diseased cattle, and has or
dered the sheriff not to let them get
away. Lind is wealthy man and
has teen supplying milk to the city.
His trade is now at an end
until he destroys the tuberculosis cat
tie The tuberculin test was applied
to the herd of w. I'll. Ingham, of the
Kossuth county bank, and only two
cows were found to be affected The
people are excited about the matter
and every man wants his herd tested.
At Newton a few evenings since
while on his way home at about 10
o'clock, Jerry Zollinger was hit on the
head with a club by some person. At
the time he was struck he was to all
appearances, four rods from his gate.
He did not fall until he got to chair
in the house. Being asked what was
the matter he said Il got struck in the
yard" He lived until 1890 when his
spirit took fight without being able to
say anything that would give the least
clue. Two clubs were found near the
place, but it is all theory as to whether
the clubs had anything to do with the
killing. On his person was found $40,
so that if the motive was robbery, the
person was scared off by his not fall
ing. He has been prominent man in
Newton for many years and was for
four years sheriff, during which time
he made many enemies, and it is
thought by some that it was the paying
off of old scores, with no attempt at
daughter, all grown. Captain collin
ger served during the war in the TWEEN
ty-eight Iowa and of late years had
been in the grocery business. He was
buried by the G. A. r.
j. H. Boyce, the leading jeweler of
Fayette, whose store was broken into
a number of weeks ago, has just come
into possession of portion of the
81 ZOO worth of jewelry which was
stolen. Several weeks ago Mr.. Shaffer,
living eight miles south of Fayette,
found a number of the stolen papers
while removing some of the hay from
his barn. These were identified by
Mr.. Boyce and returned to HIM. A
few days ago another discovery was
made. While AT work in the same hay
loft hat full of jewelry and watches
was found in one corner of the barn
underneath the hay. Mr.. Boyce went
out to the farm to secure the stolen
property. Mere is theory as to how
these articles came to be in this build
ing. On the night following the one
on which the deed was perpetrated,
two men stopped at Mr.. Shaffer's res
idence and asked TO be fed and given
place to sleep for the night. They
were such rough looking characters
that they did not think it expedient to
keep them over night, but gave them
their supper and, as Mr.. Shaffer sup
posed, sent them on their way. Such,
however, it seems, was not the case.
In the morning Mr.. Shaffer, on coming
into the barn yar&, was astonished to
tnd his barn door wide open and upon
investigation discovered that some
persons had lodged in the barn during
the night. 1t is supposed that these
two men were the ones who broke open
the safe and that they deposited this
lo+ f,,1l of c,,oi1c in the harm Further
