Red Prince Colt Show!
At Leon, Iowa, Saturday, Oct. -.

We take pleasure in announcing to
the public that we will hold a colt show
ut Frank Matthew's barn on the above
date. The show will be for foals of 1900
sired by Red Prince, 1924. Three cash
premiums will be given as follows:
First $1,000, Second $500, and
Third $500.
Premiums will be awarded by three
competent and unihterested judges. To
all interested in good horses and espec.
tally parties owning Red Prince colts we
extend pressing invitation to attend
this colt show. We had intended to
have yearling and two-year-old and
over class, but owing to the fact that so
many of the colts of this age are thin
in flesh at present we decided to wait
until next year to give show for these
classes. H. B. & F. III. MATTHEWS.

HARRY A SUNDBERG, CLERK OF
PROBATE COURT, STEPS
OUT
FIGHTING IN THE STREET
He Was Arrested for Striking n
Female Companion I'm the
Face During a
Quarrel.

Harry A. Sundberg, clerk Of the pro-
bate court, yesterday resigned, as re-
suit of a disgraceful row with woman
on st. Peter street, at a. late hour We'd
nesday night, which resulted in the ar
rest Of both 1t is not the first scam
DIAL in which Sund5erg has recently been
implicated and he knew it involved his
resignation, of which he says:
"As result of recent troubles I have
this morning rendered my resignation as
clerk of the probate eo-rt to Judge Ba-
z,ile, to take effect Sept. l. I took this
action because I did ret want any eriti-
cism cast upon the judge in his coming
canvass fer a denomination. He has
always treated me with a kindness sell
dom to be found In TN employer, and L
wanted no odium attached to him or the
Office which he occupies by any action Of
mine. I have not as yet spoken to him
about the resignation, but I will insist
that 1t be accepted"
Sundberg was arrested early yesterday
morning st. Peter street while en-
gagged in a fight with Ellen A1drich.
Judge Bazille accepted the resignation
yesterday afternoon.
This is not the first time that Sundberg
has had trouble with the Aldrieh woman,
who keeps resort at AT ST. Peter
street A few weeks ago he gained
some publicity by having some similar
trouble, and at that time he was warned
by the judge that unless he mended his
ways he would have to cease to hold his
office Many Of Sundberg's friends adj
vised him to have nothing further to do
| with the woman, and he promised his
father and his employer to keep away
| from her
| SundOerg and the Aldrich woman were
| in Minneapolis Wednesday night, and
| while there the woman drank consider
ably. They came back about midnight
and quarreled-
Patrolman John Calvin saw Sundberg
| strike the woman, who Is known as
Ethel Russell, in the face, 1t developing
| afterwards that her lip was cut by the
| blow. Calvin overhauled Sundberg who
started to leave the woman in the street,
and the two were taken to the central
! station. where friends baiIed the probate
| clerk out first. For some time the Wo-
man remained at the station, but she
was also released subsequently on SIS
I bail.
| When their names were called IN court
yesterday they did not appear, and the
| ball was declared forfeited
Judge Bazille has indicated that Sund-
berg's successor will be a First warder,
and probably q Swede There are sew
eral candidates for the place who come
| within these requisites as to eligibilIty.s
