THE NEWS IN IOWA
FAMOUS DITCH CASE DECIDED
Decision 10 Adverse to Those Who Were
Fighting the Tax.

Decision ID Adverse to Those Who Were
Fighting the Tax.
Sioux CITY, Jan. 20.-Judgc Hutch
inson, of the Fourth judicial district
OF Iowa, has decided the famous Mono
ma county ditch cases, which have been
pending in the courts for the last elev-
en- years. The court finds for Monona
county, as against Judge Addison Oil
yer, ex-U United States congressman, and
other prominent Monona county land
owners A portion of Monona county
is very low, and Judge Oliver got a bill
through the Twentieth General Assem-
bly, authorizing county supervisors to
construct bitches to drain off the wa
ter. 1t was decided to construct one
in Monona county, and Judge Oliver
was one of the signers of the bonds to
have the work done. Then an assess
ment was made against all lands to be
benefited, which was to pay for the
ditch. Then Judge Oliver attempted
to fight the tax levy and the legal night
has been going on in the courts OF the
state ever since. One of the cases has
been up to the supreme court, and
these cases will be taken to the SUI
preme court also. More than the pay
ment for the ditch is involved in the
matter. It affects the whole political
situation in Monona county, and every
man in that county is much interested

ROWE TO SUFFER.
Poweshiek Embexxler is as Guilty ~ the
PRINCIPAL, Says the Supreme Court.

Poweshiek Embexzler ia as Guilty A. the
Principal, Says the supreme Court.
Dies MONIES, Jan. 19.-The Important
state case agairS.. Richard Rowe, OF
Poweshiek county, has been decided,
the supreme court affirming the trial
court, in convicting Rowe of embezzle-
ment. Rowe was charged with being
accessory to his brother, Chester Rowe,
treasurer Of Powcshiek county, in the
embezzlement of $50, 900 belonging to
the county. He was brought back
from Mexico and tried at great expense
to the state, convicted, and sentenced
to Fort Madison for a term of three
wears. He was unable to give bond in
the sum of $50, 900 and was sent to Fort
Madison a year ago last December.
His case was carried to the supreme
court, Rowe's attorney holding that he
was convicted as principal in crime
in which he was only accessory. The
court holds that under the statute there
is no distinction between an accessory
and principal, and all persons,
whether they commit the offense or aid
in its commission, must be tried as

Yukon in the search for gold, and has
diverted the attention of many others.
But in order to get there it is necessary
that man should be possessed of the
best Of health, strong powers of endu-
rance and considerable means. He
leaves his wife and his family for con-
siderable period, and the hardships he
has to endure are all unknown to him.
Canada has other gold fields, though.
They are the fields that produce her
golden grain. This year the crop Of
Manitoba, lying directly north of North
Dakota, yielded 100000 bushels Of
wheat alone. The current price aver
ages 76 cents, which, as a local paper
puts it, makes the product in gold this
year, for wheat alone, equal to value
Of $15,960,O00." Twenty thousand farm
ers did this, or an average to each pro-
Queer of about $798.
But these same farmers are not liv-
ing by wheat alone. This is only one
source Of revenue to them out Of many.
They have also beef, butter, potatoes,
oats, barley and poultry to sell, and
sometimes other things, so that it may
be fairly estimated that their incomes
will average at least 81 900 per farmer.
Thus Manitoba's fields have yielded
this year fully $2O,000,000 in gold, d.
vided among 10000 actual producers,
and general population of about 200,-
00O."
After counting the cost Of stamp
mills, expenses of men, etc., rich as is
the klondike, such vast wealth as IS be-
ing taken out of the soil in raising
wheat in this one province, cannot pos
sibly be secured in any mining district.
Of course mining development assists
agricultural development, and that it,.
why the Government of Canada feels
so much assurance in predicting pros
perity to all who take up farms in Can
ada. Western Canada today promises
more than any other known field that 10
open to immigration. Farms Of y\SH>
acres, capable of producing the Ns5Ni
No. hard wheat, yielding thirty toa1N\
ty bushels to the acre, are given awaA
free. Railways, markets, schools
churches-all are convenfenSs2 Tn
Canadian form of government is one
the most liberal known, and a heart.
welcome is given to settlers of all ma
tionalities. Already there are many set
tiers gone in from the states, and tn
reports from them are highly favorable
Those desiring information as to frcgl
homestead laws, low transportation
rates, ETC., will have pamphlets, ct
sent free on application to the Depal
ment of the Interior, Ottawa, or MAl N
agent of the Government. y

May Die.

Two Brothers Badly Injured and Both
May Die.
CHEROKEE, Jan. 21.-A terrible acct
dent occurred in Silver township by
which Henry Van Sickle will die and his
brother, Steve Van Sickle will be
manned for life. Both young men
were at the farm of Joshua McCammlt,
a big farmer and cattle feeder, helping
operate horse power feed grinder.
Steve Van Sickle was working at the
power when a knuckle burst and a
piece of it struck him on the head,
breaking his jaw and fracturing his
skull. Later, when the machine was
started again Henry Van Sickle was
passing near the power when the tumb-
ling rod flew out of place. 1t struck
him in the forehead with such force
that the entire frot of his head was
crushed in. Doctors say he will not
recover. and have but slight hopes for
his brother.
