Pottawattamie county is pretty badly cut

creeks and groves of timber. There is a
law on the statute books that all properly
must be recorded with the auditor. with a
detailed description OF its boundaries and
other formations. When a farmer sells an
irregular tract OF land that begins at n
gate post and ends at the west bank of the
creek on his pasture, the law of Iowa wants
something more definite and requires the
owner to file plat Of such property with
the county auditor.

Jury Decides Him Not Guilty of MUIR
der at All.


der at All.
BOONE, Ia, Feb. 6(Specal Telegram y
Just week ago today was begun the trial
of Stanhope Royster for murder in the first
degree for the killing of E. w. Mcfarland
for the seduction of his daughter. Readers
of these dispatches are familiar with the
details of the case, which for seven days has
been watched by all the spectators the court
house would accommodate, crowded to its ut
most capacity. The utmost interest has been
manifested, both inside the court house and
by the citizens generally, and the sympathy
for Royster has been very manifest.
The argument has consumed two days. r.
f. Jordan opened for the state, followed by
S. r. Dyer for the defense Then came
Judge ]. l.. Stevens for Royster, and at
o'clock this afternoon Major A. ]. Holmes,
the county attorney, closed for the state.
Judge Hindman occupied an hour In deliver
ing his charge to the jury. 1t retired at
o'clock, and the attorneys left the court
room. Five minutes later the jury returned,
had been sent for arrived, the verdict of
the jury was given. 1t was: mot guilty"
There then ensued scene of the widest
confusion, the crowd cheered, threw up their
hats, the women waved handkerchiefs, then
a rush was made for the jury and they were
shaken hands with and congratulated, as
were also the defendant and his wife, who
we're very much affected. Attorneys Dyer and
Stevens were seized by the crowd and the
life hugged out of them, so great was the
Joy of the crowd.

After n Sewer Contractor.

-.'eT sewer contractor,
H. a. Cole is wrestling with an interesting
propiein TO property owners, and If he sue
oeeus III sowing 1T satisfactorily he will be
counted ., among the public benefactors. Some
time ago he let a contract to a sewer con-
tractor to connect his residence on Oakland
avenue with the public sewer cessnool
had previously been used but when tha
%anshue % was repaved and house sewer
iaid the abandonment of the cpssnooI uos
decided upon. The contractor was rvan the
Joo TO connect the cesspool with the sewer
.ne @ intentions being to let the old connec-
,ions between the house and the pool re-
man as they were. Cole was attending
NO. ~ business ana paid little attention to the
k work, and when 1t was finished settled the
piil ana thought no more of the matter
for the last month or more the presence
ol sewer gas has been detected in the house
becoming stronger each day. Plumbers
were called in to examine the plumbinp
but the best of them were unable to dis,
cover the source of the gas. During the re-
cent warm weather the gas in the house
made 1t almost untenable and became a
terrible menace to health. Another plumber
was called and most careful inspection
made. He discovered that the earth in
the basement and the basement walls of
the house were reeking with sewage, seep-
ing through the earth outside and under
the foundations. The old cesspool was
opened and found to be filled to the surface
This was cleaned out and the cause of the
stoppage of the outlet investigated. This in
vestigation revealed an astonishing situation.
me sewer pipe was dug up and it was found
that the contractor had made no attempt
to connect 1t with the city sewer. He had
discovered that he had laid his line of pipe
about two feet below the city sewer, and
instead of rectifying the error he filled the
ditch, broke the pipe in the yard not far
from the house and turned the outlet into
the bank. This was also covered UP before
1t was discovered, and the contractor has
been congratulating himself that he easily
got out of a serious engineering difficulty.
The sewage of the house since then has
been practically turned into the cellar of
Mr.. Coles fine residence, endangering the
lives of his family.
The sewer contractor proves not to be
licensed plumber, but only the foreman
for a responsible contractor. He was out
of work at the time and took the job on
his own responsibility. Attorneys were look
ing up the matter yesterday in the hope
that they could discover some law by which
the contractor could be adequately punished

sTlfFENlNG INDUSTRIAL. STOCKS.

Revival of Agitation of Steel Making by the
 Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Co.
 There is good reason for industrial stocks in this neghborhood to stiffen in the market.
 The Pittsburg Dispatch contains the following telegraphic news from New York which is of great interest to this section:
 Louisville and Nashville stock was in- herently strong today and a new buying element was in control It was hinted that word had been cabled to London of important developments regarding the erection of a steel mill at Birmingham, Ala, by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad people. This would give boom to all southern railroad enterprises, while the earnings of the Louisville and Nash vllIe are likely to increase in the next sixty days because a larger quantity of cotton is still left on the plantations than was estimated and it will have to be shipped by impecunious planters, who have been counting upon renewal of ex- port demand in order to liquidate their indebtedness to commission merchants.
 .'The same interests behind the move ment in Louisville and Nashville were also buyers. of Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad, and there was a good rally in Southern railroad preferred"
 Inquiry at the Birmingham office of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany developed the fact that the mag mates of the company held meeting in December and decided upon the erection of a steel plant near this city. The plans were drawn by Pittsburg expert in steel and all the arrangements were perfected. President Cleveland's two messages dis turbed the money market ana the steel plant was postponed for the time being. Now that the money market has become ', settled and the sale of bonds has been successful, the steel plant has been again taken up and will be pushed to success full completion.
 The statement of the Pittsburg Dis patch that great deal of cotton is yet to be shipped is borne out by corroborative evidence The manager of the Inman cot ton compress in this city informed the re- porter that he had on hand 5000 bales and expected a great deal more.
