The county officials had reason to expect
that when that last brand Of Pottawattamie
funding bonds got down to New York Rob-
erts & Co., would be ready to receive them
and settle, as all the conditions required by
the purchasers have been complied with. 1t
seems, however, that more expert opinion is
necessary before the consummation Of the
sale.

struck Natural Gas i'm Town.

FORT DODGE, Ia, March 23.-(Special
Telegram)-Natural gas has just been dis
covered on a farm near Vincent. 1t is at
tracing a god deal of attention, as it is
the first discovery of the existence of natural
gas on the open prairie. A three-inch well
was sunk to a depth of $50 feet, a good
flow of water reached, the tubing and pump
put down, when a singular steamlike sound
was heard Town in the well. The water
had raised to within fifteen feet of the top,
choking the gas n. A lighted match was
held to the top of the pump when a blue
light was visible. The water was pumped
out and a lighted match again applied, when
a blaze Of fire shot up to a height of two
feet, burning with great force. If the flow
of gas should hold out, which can be tested
by slipping the water from rising, or tap
ping the gas at another point, it could be
piped to Eagle Grove and utilized.

JOINT DEBATE IN WALKERS COURT.
Mnnnwn Rules Govern md No De-
cIslnn A-nnnnncch


There was a Kentucky finish TO the Man
ava election contest in Justice Walkers
court yesterday afternoon, There was a
fight, and the authenticated versions of 1t
are more numerous than Manawa voters. and
moro varied than numerous. 1t was learned
that:
The Beck forces were the aggressors, and
brutally assaulted an inoffensive witness on
the other side Of the case. The Reed men
acted like thorough gentlemen all through
the trouble.
The Reed forces were the aggressors. and
brutally assaulted an inorensive witness on

The Beck forces were armed with chairs.
The Reed forces we're armed with chairs.
The first blow was struck by a Beck man.
The first blow was struck by a Reed man.
No one remembers who struck the last
blow.
Out Of the beautifully assorted stock Of ma
terlal at hand an average statement of the
affair duplicates and eXonerates all con-
cerned in the case.
The case was against Ed Wright and j. G.
Norton, two of the judges of election at
Manawa, who were charged with refusing to
receive the ballot Of a legal voter. The case
was commenced before Justice Ovid Wen, and
was taken before Justice Walker on a change
Of venue, and was set for hearing yester-
day afternoon.
Before the legal battle opened the wit
nesses and sympathizers on the different
sides of the case were jostling each other
In the court room, and some of the Manawa
delegates had been getting a supply Of min
cral water on board, and were ready for
any kind of fun. Ed Wright was on the
witness stand, when the attorney for the
complaining witness wanted to see the poll
book. The poll book could not be seen, See?
Cause one Of the boys had 1t hid up his
sleeve, and had to have a bunch from the
proper source before he would produce.
Then Charley Morse was kidding a witness
named Zimmerman, and Wright thought, at
least he said he thought, that Jimmy ought
to give Morse a t'ump in de teet. There
was an exchange of courtesies that ratified
the court a little, and called for interference
from an outsider. Then matters got to run
ming smoothly for a few notches, and Col
onel Baker, the mayor OF Manawa, got a
white chip in the game, and said something
to Charley, and Charley said something
back, and then Beck changed the accent
on to the last syllable, and Ed Wright saw
an opening that he couldn't overlook, and
Charley Morse didn't propose to stand still
and let everybody else have fun. And that's
the way the fight commenced.
There were chairs in the air for a few
minutes, and a little plain fsticuff work in
dulged in, without any serious damage. JUS
tice Walker called for order and caused the
arrest of Morse and Ed Wright, and will
have them before him this morning on a
charge Of contempt.
During the excitement everybody forgot
what the condition of the case on trial was
and an adjournment was taken until this
morning. Constable Jackson has been in
structed to be on duty early this morning
and insist upon all visitors at the court Of
Judge Walker leaving their sidearms at the
door.
