Another advantage to the interested

received. Over 100000 was brought

the land, and most Of the farmers will

HALL DIES OF WOUNDS.
Made a Statement Generating Hi
AssaiIant.

Charlton, Aug. Especially -
Thomas Hall, the man who was shot
by Charles Sage at Lucas, Tuesday, is
dead as the result of his wounds. On
his deathbed he made dying state
ment to the effect that the shooting
was accidental, and although he and
Sage had exchanged some words prior
to the trouble the deed was not done
in anger. He requested that there be
nothing done with Sage. AS result
the officers have set Sage at liberty
and will not prosecute him. There is
much feeling in that vicinity over the
matter and witnesses who saw the act
still maintain that it was not accident
al. Despite the action of the officers
and the dying mans statement there is
much sentiment in favor of bringing
the matter to the attention of the
grand jury. 1t is not likely, however,
that this will be done.

AMIsH SECT IN IOWA.
Buy Large Tracts of Land in Des
Moines County.

Moines County.
Burlington, Aug. 29.-The Amish
people are now getting a good hold on
Des MONIES county. Through their
agents they have bought up most of
the bottom land north of the city.
For the last month or two agents
from PeSin, ILL.,, have been going
through the country listing the farms
and then selling them to the Amish
people who will make a settlement
there. Lands that once sold for from
SIS to $40 an acre were sold for $50 an
acre The highest price paid was $40
an acre, and the lowest was $4S an
acre. The levee put in by the govern
ment prevents the overflow of this bot
tom land, and as it is the best land in
the state, the Amish people readily
bought it. To prevent time 4,1S0
acres of land were purchased at ali
average of 500 an acre, the total
amount invested being 100000, and
over $1,000 acres are yet listed and
ready for sale.
A big settlement will be made in
Des Moines county. 1t is, perhaps, a
misfortune rather than an advantage
to the general public to have them en-
ter this county, as they hold no inter,
course with the general public in any
way. They deal entirely with their
own schools, church. still they are the
best of farmers and till their ground
