Colombia Sifnifes BY Writtsn
Statement Its Acceptance 81
United States Oiisr.
Is Willing to Have lts Differences
With Venezuela Amicably
Settled.
No Response Will Be Made to
the Recent venezuelan
Proclamation.

Washington, Sept. 5-A careful trans
lation at the state department Of the
published utterances OF the Venezuelan
government on the subject Of its differ
ences with Colombia discloses the fact
that it is not, as at first reported, an
identical note addressed to the powers.
Instead, 1T appears to be something in
the nature of a proclamation addressed
to the world at large, signed by Minis
ter Blanco in charge Of foreign affairs.
This fact makes it impossible for any Of
the governments to make response to
the note.
Colombian Minister Silva sent to the
state department a formal written ac-
.ceptance on behalf Of Colombia OF the
American proposition to mediate.

FARMERS ARE sw.NDLED.
Young Man Named Gibson Beats
Farmers in Creamery Deal.

Mechanicsville, Sept. 5.-The people of
this locality again seem to have been
swindled by a young man named Glib
and who leased the creamery at Cedar
Bluffs about month ago. He had been
working for r. d. Mcclellan, who left
the town suddenly, taking with him be-
tween $1,000 and $1,000 of the patrons
money. Gibson condemne6-him severe
ly, but seems to be following his foot
steps exactly.
On Sunday, aided by his wife, Gibson
packed their household goods prepara-
tory to taking their fight.
Gibson left on that night and on Mon
DAY morning Mr. Young, one of his en-
ployes. called at the house and asked for
him. His wife told him he was not at
home and to go out as usual and collect
the cream. This Mr.. Young said he did
not like to do, as he had been given no
checks for his patrons. which Gibson
had promised to pay every fifteen days.
She also told him that Mr. Gibson would
return home in the evening. Mr.. Young
told her he would study over the matter
tefore going.
A few hours later he came back to the
house to tell her of his decision. and
found the drayman moving the house
hold goods away. The constable was
secured and the goods were held. Mrs.
Gibson then took the first freight for
Cedar Rapids, but returned again Mon
day night, claiming that the household
goods belonged to her.
The farmers who Were swindled SO
outrageously by r. d. McKellar refused
to sell to another man without bonds.
But Gibson produced bonds, endorsed by
his father at Reinbeck and also the
banks at the same place. The people Of
this locality are more than indignant
over the matter and will push the case
to the end.

bert Dennis, a fashionable dressmak-

Use to rival the Bonine murder case.
Her skull was featured, jaw bone
broken and left ear almost severed

bruises indicative of a struggle and
her clothing and bedding was satu-

to the hospital and II large force of
detectives put on the case. The name
of her pssailant is unknown.
The general belief Is that Mrs.

her back room on the first floor and
that the first blow, in all probability
administered with the piano stool,
which was smcared with blood, rem
dered her unconscious. The prelim-

to indicate that there was any strug-
