Few PATTERN STEAM ENGINE.
John b. Cline Of JEFFERSON nc Work
onsa New Model,

on'a New Model.
Special to Times-Republican.
Jefferson, Sept. 6.--Mr. John B. Cline.
of this city. a well known inventor, is
at work on the drawings for a new
pattern steam engine, or rather a new
system of operating the present style
of slide valve or Corliss engine, and IL
1t performs as ne and other engineers
who have examined the rough draft as
sert 1t will, it will certainly revo-
slutionize steam engineering. The OBJ
ject aimed at by Mr.. Cline is to obviate.
the great loss of power on the ordinary
engine just prior to and following the
passing of the dead centers. 1t is we'll
known that an engine develops its
greatest power when the piston is exc
actly in the center OF the cylinder
that IL. when the crank is at right
angles to the piston rod. Attic the
pull or push OF the piston head is just
as great or greater at other perioGs in
the stroke, vet the leverage is greatly
diminished and the effectiveness of the
engine correspondingly diminished
The scheme of Mr. Cline will enable the
piston rod to exert the same power-or
relatively with the steam pressure in
the cylinder-at every period in the,
stroke. In other words. the crank is
entirely done away with and a new and
unique device substituted. The in-s
ventOr does not desire the secret Of his
device made public until he shall have
applied for patent. but your CORE
sspondent has been permitted to ex-.
anime the drawings and it appears that
the device is entirely practical and SER
viceable; in fact, it is SO simple that
machinists will marvel that they never
thought Of 1t befire.

known as Doc, Hit. wheel-of-for-

5000 diamond. about $50 in money and
a gold watch.
Hit came here to conduct his wheel
business during the fair and was stop
ping at the hotel Terry. Monday he
went out hunting with some friends
locking his room and giving the key to
the landlord.
While he was gone one Of his assist
ants, named j. III. Patterson. asked the.
landlord for the key, saying he desired
to get some things from the room. The
landlord, knowing Patterson to be Hits
employe. gave him the key, which was
afterwards returned to him.
When Hit returned in the evening he
missed his valua bles, also Patterson,
who had skipped the town in the mean.
time.
The money taken was in small bills
and silver and amounted to SIS or $780,
The whole loss to Hit is in the neigh
borhood Of $500.
No trace OF Patterson has been found
but cards bearing his description have
been sent to all surrounding towns in
hopes Of intercepting him.
Hit says he will gladly bear the ex-
rense Of his capture ard desires all of
ficers to keep a lookout for the robber.

Mason City, Sept. 6.-What viii, evi-
IDENTIFY prove to be one Of the foulest
murders ever committed in this section
was discovered by Engineer Grundland,
Of Mason City. who was on freight train
No. 81. and reported, that he had, seen a
man lying near the track on the right
of way, one-half mile west OF Sexton.
Passenger train No. 2. which was fol-
lowing, was ordered to stop and pick
up the man and bring him to Sexton
and turn him over to the authorities
there. The trainmen were Mortified on
finding not only the one man reported
by Engineer Grundland, but the dead
body of a second man in the weeds near
by, and Instead Of having been injured
by the train 1t was plainly evident that
both men had come to their death by
foul means. Near by the men were two
telescope grips the contents OF which
had been rified, and everything in the
pockets OF the men had been taken out
to prevent Identification. 1t was
thought that they were stock men who
had been held up by tramps and killed
and their bodies dragged close to the
track to give the impression that they
had been Injured by the train. One
of the men had a terrible cash from his
left eye down thru the chin and the
other showed marks OF having been
slugged. The bodies were placed in the
baggage car and taken to Sexton,
where they were turned over to the au-
sthorities, who are making search for
suspicious characters and are elldeav-
oring to establish the identity OF the
supposed murdered men.

GREENE COUNTY COURT.

Less Litigation Than Usual. Owing
to Good Crops md Good Times.
Special to Times-Republican.
Jefferson. Sept. 6The present term
of the district court for Greene county
is practically without legal business Of
Importance. The large crop OF real es-
tate men, the direct result of advance
ing prices Of farm lands, has produced
quite little portion Of the litigation
at this term. The real estate men list
every piece of property upon which the
owner will set a price. the current rate
for making a sale being 81 per acre.
The litigation grows out Of the particle
patton OF the owners in deals and the
claim when the agent demands his 81
per acre that the owner himself nego-
tiated the transaction. The contract is
plain and clear, yet in majority OF
cases the jury has found for the de-
PENDANT and against the agent. The
case Of Arndt We. McKeon is assigned
for tomorrow. McKeon rented his farm
to Arndt for term Of years AT the
end of the first year 1t is alleged that
McIkeon was dissatisfied with Arndt
and the relations between the men be-
came strained. Finally upon an occa-
sion when Mckeon was visiting the
place and warm words hao been ut
tered, diplomatic relations were broken
on. MckeOn says Arndt started after
him with a pitchfork and threatened
him. Arndt says he merely told Nc
Keen that he would go after him with
the pitchfork which he held in his and
IL tMcKeon did not get on the place.
McKeon brought suit in the district
court charging Arndt with assault
with intent to do great bodily harm,
and Arndt turned around and sued Me-
Keen in the district court for mall
prosecution.
