Clinton. Nov. 26-The action taken by
County Attorney c. H. George. OF this
county. will probably be more effective
in prohibiting the sale OF scigarets in
Clinton county than the recent decision
of the supreme court OF Tennessee.
which state has practically the same
law governing this traffic as Iowa, as
he has requested the assessors In every
township to at once assess every dealer
in cigarets, or cigaret wrappers, or ci-
Igaret paper. $25 per month hereafter.
commencing Dec. 1. The law provides
that this tax shall be collected the same
as the mulct liquor tax. The law is very
stringent and prohibits even the giving
away Of cigaret paper After the assess
ment has been levied the tax is a lien
upon the property and II not paid in due
time the property can be sold for taxes
as In any other case OF delinquent taxes.
The county attorney says that the traffic
must entirely cease in this county and
is the first county attorney In Iowa to
serve notice that the dealers in cigarets
or cigaret paper will have to pay the
mulct taxes.

than in the open. In one case but a few
rods distant the plants on the south
side of house showed no rust what
ever. while the plants in the open field
were covered with the fungus.
AS the myceliun OF the fungus works
in the interior OF the plant nothing will
destroy the fungus when once the my

Webster City. Nov. 26.-Two weeks
ago word was received in this city Of the
death Of George A. Barber. at Pagosa
Springs, Col. At that time it was not
known what caused his death, but fur
ther word has since been received and it
appears that Barber may have met with
foul play. At the time of going to Pa
gosa Springs, Barber was accompanied
by man and woman-the latter be-
ing the one with whom Barber had kept
company while in this city. He died an
hour after going to the hotel The
woman above mentioned held insurance
policies made by Barber, amounting to
something over $4,000. This furnishes
ground for the suspicion of foul play.
George A. Barber came to Webster
City about six years ago from Illinois,
having wife and child. The wife had
considerable money and her husband in
vested some, but being a poor financier
lost it. FANNY troubles arose, resulting
in the separation OF the couple. Mrs.
Barber brought suit for divorce and also
claimed there was about $4,000 OF her
money which Barber still held. For some
time Barber had been intimate with
George c. Olmstead, then county attor-
ney of Hamilton county. Later develop
ments proved that Ol1nstead had gained
possession Of the money and had influ-
enced Barber to perjure himself while
| giving testimony at the divorce proceed
| ings. The matter brought on hard
fought legal battle and Olmstead was
disbarred from the practice of law. Bar
Der brought suit to recover the money
held by Olmstead. and was partially sue

she seemed DESTROYS of waiting awhile
and Barber went west. She followed
him. He belonged to local lodge OF

Special to Times-R Republican.
Creston, Nov. 26-saturday night in
q railroad camp along the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railroad at
Thayer Hugh Dixon committed cold
sblooded murder, shooting and instantly
killing Laura Holmes. Both parties are
colored. The murder was done in a
tent. The Holmes woman was stand
ing by a stove in a tent preparing the
evening meal. Two other colored men
and q little sister OF the murdered wo-
man were the other occupants. Dixon
asked Mrs. Holmes a question to which
she responded affirmatively. He stepped
near the tent entrance. drew a revolver
and fired bullet thru the woman's
heart. The bullet passed thru the
body. He then directed a shot at each
OF the men occupants. but neither took
effect. Dixon then backed out Of the
tent. He was in no wise molested and
got a good start before news Of the
murder reached Ores ton. Coroner Ntcke
was unable to obtain much information
as to the motive for the crime, and he
put the two men in the tent when the
murder was committed under arrest to
hold them as witnesses. What infor-
nation the coroner secured from the
witnesses was reticently given, 1t is
believed, however, that jealousy
prompted the murder. A negro who
knows Dixon says he heard him say
he would kill her. Up to the present
time the officers have been unable tc
capture the murderer. He is about 81
years Of age, weighs 165 pounds, wears
duck coat. He has the reputation OF
being bad man.
