A West Liberty Man Suffering From
the Effects of an Assault.
Harvey Wells, is lying seriously i'll
with brain trouble at his home at West
Liberty and his condition is said to be
due to a blow which he received on
the head about three months ago. The
unfortunate mans relatives claim that
he was assaulted by George Hunt, of
that place about three months ago, and
have intimated that they will enter a
grave charge against the latter, in case
Mr.. Wells dies. After the assault, he
suffered very little from the injuries,
until about ten days ago, when his con-
dition suddenly became worse.
According to the story of the case,
Wells, who is a well known contractor,
last fall became annoyed by persons
stealing lumber from a house which he
was building at West Liberty and had
search warrants issued against sever
al parties, whom he suspected OF the
thefts. One of the houses that was
searched was that of George
Hunts father, but none OF the
missing lumber could be found.
On the evening OF November
18th. a few days later Wells and Hunt,
senior, met in Farris' grocery store.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-A paragraph in your issue or
this morning leaves the impression on
the reader that n reason for the
change in the site of the speakers stand
for Fort Henry Day" was opposition
on the part of the property holders IN
the vicinity of the stand. / desire TO
controvert this impression most vene-
mently, as the representative OF the
owners of the property Immediately In
trent Of which the stand was to have
been placed. Not only was there no
opposition on our part, but | told the
chairman of the proper committee that
he would have our hearty cooperation
in any arrangement that would suggest
itself to insure a successful celebration
Moreover, a canvass Of the entire neigh
borhood fails to unearth a single per-
son who opposes the placing OF the
stand on the site first selected. In TACT
all are of one mind in condemning the
change. If the committee has good rea-
sons for so illogical a proceeding as VIII
be the placing of a monument in one
part of the city and the making OF
speeches about it in another, and II
those s will bear the light of day,
then let those reasons be given Inc

shoulders of the property holders OF

Last Monday morning one of the

an immense amount of milk now and
doing some fine work for their pat

having one shut down. Then dollars

for S62 90 per acre. Mr.. Duval fgur-
ed that the Dittman farm was too
fancy place to keep as an invest
ment, as the repairs on the improve
nlents were a constant charge and the
presence Of the many conveniences
which are there did not serve to
bring the rent up in proportion.
This is probably the experience with
many men who have left their farms
to move into town. They were fixed
up for home places and do not bring
the returns on the investment that
they should, although the tenants are
paying for them quite as much as
they can afford Atlantic Telegraph.
