Near Ute. la.
Special to Times Republican.
Ute, Aug. 17.-While the graders We're
at work few days ago in cut of the
Boyer Valley railroad, where the new
town Of Soldier is located, they came
upon the skeleton of man, supposed to
have been murdered several years ago.
A lead bullet was found with the bones,
but nothing else by which any clue or
evidence can be had to tell who the man
may have been. The bones were five or
six feet below the surface. About twen-
ty years ago a stranger came to the
neighborhood and made his home with
farmer by the name Of Ransom. who
owned the land where the bones were
found. After staying a few weeks he
suddenly disappeared and foul play was
suspected, but nothing was done about
it. Ransom moved to South Dakota a
few years ago and is now dead, and the
mystery will never be solved.

ABRAMS BUYS BEER

A Good story on Abrams from Britt
Finds Hancock County Pretty Dry
-Himself Tests Ease With Which
Liquor Can Be Obtained.
Britt, Aug. I.-Rev. Abrams, Of the
state temperance or anti-saloon league,
has been around the county for the
past ten days or two weeks, travelling
on the usual minister's half fare permit
seeking evidence wherewith to convict
the druggists Of Hancock county as
well as persons sending for beer and
those chipping in on kegs. He has pre-
tended to be buying horses. Mr..
Abrams at once tried to find some beer
in Britt, but for several days he went
dry He found fellow who told him
fairy tales of beer that had been and
would be in Britt All this time he
was going under the assumed name of
G. w. Davenport. Finding no beer in
Britt except part of a bottle (Which
was given to him), after diligent in
quiry he found a man who was willing
to forward his order to an Albert Lea
house for keg. Mr.. Abrams signed
the order for the key under the name of
G.. W. Davenport, paid for the beer and
the order was forwarded to the Albert
Lea house, which shipped the beer by
express to Davenport"
Rev. Abrams went to the express Of
fee, got the beer and receipted for 1t
under the name of Davenport. 1t may
be added that he tried all kinds of per-
suasion to get the person forwarding
the order to give him some other key
in lieu of the key ordered. But there
were no other kegs.
Sunday night Rev. Abrams In lee
ture unbosomed himself and told all he
had discovered. that he was going to
take the permits away from the Britt
druggists, threatened persons who
Clipped in on or gave away liquor. He
also mentioned some druggists in other
towns in the county.
Withal he had to admit conditions
here We're good and had improved 81
Iper cent since the law and order agita
ton last spring, when the druggists, t.
avoid trouble paid the local law and
order league $50 ("thirty pieces of sill
lver'D to settle matters on the grount
that they were out that much for tn,
services of the county attorney in tn,
way of preparing for cases to tax,
away the permits of the druggists.

Mr.. Abrams was the gullible victim o
several fairy tales. 1t is claimed b,
some that signing a fictitious name t.

One thing appears to be certain ant
that is that it is no easy thing to ge

Large Attendance and Successful Ate
tractions-The Races.
Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, Aug. 17.-The second day of
the Story county fair was unquestion-
ably success. The attendance was
unusually large, great numbers being
present from distance, besides the
regular home contingent. Everything
seemed to favor the occasion, as the
weather was pleasant and the track
was fine. The fact that no serious ac-
cidents occurred, either on the grounds
or in the city, may be regarded as a
somewhat remarkable record. Exhibits
In the various departments We're credit
able to prosperous county and an in
telligent people. The display Of stock
was, perhaps, not quite as magnificent
as in some former years. Excellent mu-
sic was furnished by the bands from
Maxwell and Roland. The race. were
as good as expected, t.e meats in some
instances being very exciting. A sum-
mary is appended:
2:2S pace-The first race on the pro-
gram was the 2:2s pace, four horses
starting. Cap Medium, F. j. Strain.
Wayne, Neb., was easily master of the
situation, winning three heats fairly
and tieing with Sarah Loes, Z. Allen,
Marion, Neb., in the fourth. Starboard,
A. K. Banks, Nevada. took second mon
ey; Sarah Loo third, and Charles
Dewey, F. Simmon. Ames, Ia. fourth
The best time was 1924, and the purse
was 5000.
Auntie Shucks against time-Auntie
Shucks. the pretty bay mare owned by
e. r. Silliman, of this city, went an ex-
hibition mile against time and made 1t
in 2:12 fiat. She was driven by her own
| er, Mr.. Silliman. who Will tip the scales
! at about 220 pounds. and many horse
men are of the opinion that she would
have beaten the record had her regular
driver been present, and had it been
her owners policy to allow her to do her
best just before the races at Hedrick,
| Dubuque and other places, where she
1 is entered for big purses. The fastest
time ever made by any mare on a half
mile track is 2:061a. so that the conduct
OF Auntie Shucks deserves commenda-
ton. The former track record for this
county was 2:17.

running race, which resulted in Miss

Des Moines, Aug. 1.-THE dispatches
have said that the scheme for bring
ing the members home from San Fran
cisco at public expense, contemplates
that the F'ifty-first Iowa regiment shall
be brought to Des Moines. This is not
true. The plan contemplates that the
expenses Of the boys shall be paid from
San Francisco to their homes. They
will be taken directly to their homes.
They may enter the state at Council.
Bluffs Pacific Junction or on the Santa
IFe. In either case they will not be
taken to general rendezvous but will
go directly to their homes.
Another mistake has appeared in the
dispatches. 1t has been said that the
scheme Is for the governor to draw the
money out CT the state treasury and the
members of the legislature shall sign
an agreement to vote to reimburse the
state. This is mistake. The governor
will secure the money on his personal
credit and advance 1t for the $4,000 ex-
penditure necessary. The reimburse
ment will be to him and not to the
state. The resolution drawn by the
Representatives of the cities which sent
companies out with this regiment mis-
states the case and provides that the
Estate will be reimbursed. The governor
has no legal authority to touch a cent
in the state treasury for this or for
any other purpose, of the same kind.
He has so held and will not take the
state money to pay the expenses re-
ferred to. He will raise it on his per-
sonal credit. The bill for which the
members of the assembly are expected
to vote will provide for his reimburse
ment.
Mayor Macvicar. of the Des Moines
attended the meeting of the representa-
| tives OF the cities He advocated the
use of the money whether lawfully or
Iunlawfully taken from the treasury. He
said the state-like the city Of Des
Moines-could afford to violate the law.
