from the wounds Inflicted on Clifford

not think probable as Mosher was not as

at Work in Iowa.

AT WORK IN iowa.
Davenport, Dec. 24.-Warning comes
from many parts of the county to all the
farmers and other rural residents and
peope in the city, too, for that matter, to
fight shy of piece goods canvassers.
There is a gang of them at work in the
neighboring states, working a game on
the gullible public. The members of the
gang have made all kinds of presenta-
tions to their victims, and in some in
stances We're enabled to sell them bills
of goods amounting, to from $75 to 500.
The goods were for mems wear, and the
buyer was made to believe he was get
ting them for ridiculously low price.
The goods were purported to be Of for
eign make and Struggled into the coun-
try. Therefore it was claimed that they
could be sold at much lower prices than
they could be obtained for in town.
When the buyer came to consult a tailor
about having 1t made up he found that
not only had he raid more than the
goods were worth. but the cost of maxi
ing them up would be greater than the
cost of the goods. The gang has been
working near here and close watch
should be kept for them.

assessment was made he filed petition
asking a temporary injunction to pre-
vent the sale of the property. This was
granted and he then asked that 1t be
made permanent. Here the county flied

will give direct connection for Water
