BOVINES OF NOTE
The State Fair Shorthorn Show
Will Break All Records.
SALES WILL ATTRACT BUYERS
Stock Farmers Have
Taken Up With the ShOrthOrn
and Have the Price.

The exhibit of shorthorn cattle at the
state fair this year will be the largest
and best ever shown in this country.
Usually the shorthorns number ahouS 100,
but this year the entries will not fall far
short of 800. The increase is due to two
causes: First, the increasing popularity
of the breed, and second. because Of the
held Tuesday morning, and which is a
novelty in state fairs. This sale is at
tracing much attention among breeders.
and as the farmers of the northwest are
unusually prosperous this year, excellent
results are anticipated. This sale will
be held under the auspices of the National
Shorthorn Breeders association, which
has its headquarters at Springfield, III.
H. F. Brown this morning said that
North Dakota alone needed all the
Shorthorns that could be bought in this
country, and added that the farmers of
that state were buying heavily Mr..
Brown himself will not exhibit this year,
although he will offer several cattle at
the sale. His herd has been a prominent
feature Of the Shorthorn exhibits for the
past two decades, and he determined not
to enter it this year only because the
breeders association, of which he is
member, decided that if his herd was not
entered other entries would probably be
more numerous, as breeders generally
have learned to fear the results of COM
petition with the Brown cattle and do
not like to make entries against them.
Some Big Herds Entered.
The truth Of this seems to be shown in
the increased number of Shorthorns which
will be shown here this year. OF the
herds which will attend Robbins & Sons of
Indiana, will send ten; George Harding &
Son, of Waukesha, will enter fifteen; N. P.
Clarke, of Minnesota, will have fifteen;
G. M. Casey, of Missouri, will probably
have two herds; and George Boutwell, Of
Nettleton, Mo, and w. A. Bowland, Of
Michigan, will also have entries. In ad
dition to these the best of the animals ex
hibited at the Iowa state fair, which
opened to-day at Des Moines, will be
shipped here to enter the competition.
The prizes for Shorthorns this year will
aggregate $4,000, of which $4,000 is con-
tributed by the Shorthorn Breeders asso-
ication, and $4,000 by the state agricultu-
raj society. In addition, several special
premiums will be offered by private par
ties This is the largest premium list Of
fered anywhere in the country, and is re-
sponsible in large measure for the ex-
cellence of the exhibits. During the last
few years the Minnesota state fair has Of
fered the best exhibit Of shorthorns shown
anywhere in the world, and this year the
best previous effort will be outdone.

Met in a Head End Collision.

The spirited team which w. A. ALL
baugh drives to his milk wagon INDUCED
in lively and disastrous runaway last
Thursday morning. Mr.. Allbaugh left
them standing facing east in the alley
on the north side of Hotel Leon while
he delivered the milk for the hotel in
the kitchen One of the girls came out
and hung up cloth which the wind
caused to flap and this frighten the
team and they started to run, going east
to the Jail then south to the corner of
the square, along the north side and
then squared themselves away for a
mighty dash down Main street. One of
Frank Benefits dray teams was stand.
ing in the street in front of the Farmers
& Traders State Bank, and the flying
team dashed right into them, the horses
of both teams separating so that the
wagon tongues went between the two
teams. and all four horses went down in
a heap when some tall kicking and
equealing was done until the animals
were extricated from the struggling
mass. The tongue of the dNay entered
the front Of the milk wagon and had the
driver been in the wagon he would I'M
doubleday have been killed. THE horses
were all bruised and sole from the mix.
up, some of the harness Was broken and
the milk wagon had to cd to the shor
for repairs. II is great wonder thai
some or all Of the horses kere not killed
for they could not have fcome together
harder than they did. 4

j. A. Casters fine residence had mar
row escape from being destroyed by fire
last Thursday evening about $50
O'Clock. His little son Brown had lost
a checker under an upholstered couch
in the parlor and had lighted toy
candle to see if he could find it. He al
lowed the candle to come in contact
with the wool fringe on the couch and
in second the blaze had spread all
over it and was burning fiercely. Mrs.
Caster attempted to smother the fire
out with q rug but could not do SO and
the flames were blazing higher and
higher. Fortunately MI. Caster was at
home being in the basement fixing the
furnace fire. He rushed in and carried
the blazing couch out in the street
where it was reduced to mass of ashes
in few minutes. In doing so Mr..
Casters right hand was severely burned,
three fingers being burned to solid
blister and he will have p very sore hand
for some time. Had he not been at
home the house would in all probability
have been destroyed. The damage was
|confined to the couch and few holes in
| the carpet, the loss being covered By a
policy in the Aetna insurance Go.

Robbed Of S205.

James Baker, farmer living seven
miles northeast of Leon, was robbed OF
$2O5 some time last Friday night. He
had the money in a sack and when he
and his wife retired for the night he
placed it under his pillow. His son and
nephew attended a literary Saturday
night and they came home about IL
O'Clock and both boys went to bed in
the same room. Mr.. Baker woke up
about 3 O'Clock in the morning and dis
covered that his money had been stolen.
The outside door was found unlocked,
but the boys are not sure whether they
locked the door when they came in or
not. No clew has as yet been discover
ed and the loss falls heavily upon Mr..
Baker who can ill afford to lose the
money.

The Library.

Two meetings of the library associa.
ton have been held this week and much
work has been accomplished. But a
full report of this work would be too
lengthy for publication. At the late
hour when ready TO 60 to press brief
outline will be given, however, that the
public may be kept informed rs to the
methods adopted by the association and
the scope of its future plans.
The committees on raising funds by
subscription having reported, the next
consideration was how best to use the
same that economy and progress might
be combined in the founding and carry
Ing forward of free public library.
To this end it was finally decided to
accept the proposition of the county
superinten dent, to.wit: That if we on
our part agree to use such funds as we
have been able to raise, something over
$500, for the purpose of buying new
books and adding to the old library and
in addition, will place librarian in
charge, that he on his part will allow us
the use of his office and will agree to aid
and assist the librarian and the enter
prise in every possible way consistent
with his other duties. This matter be.

The Board of Supervisors Adjourn

The board of supervisors finished the
business OF the January term last Satur-
day after being in session for two full
weeks. The January session is always
one OF the busiest and most important
sessions of the year, and this year it
was no exception. The board however
hustled right along and had everything
cleaned up when they adjourned.
-. l.. Shira, who has 80 we'll discharg-
ed the duties of steward at the county
farm, was again appointed steward for
the coming year at salary of $500 per
year.
j. r. Leeper, county bridge superin.
tendent, and H. D. Martin, county road
foreman, who have both done such good
work on the bridges and roads the past
year were also re-appointed on the same
terms as last year which is by the day.
N. G. Rhoades, janitor of the court
increased from 500 to 1926 per month, on
account of the increased labor in taking
care Of the new public closets at the
court house. 1t will be part of his du-
ties to keep up the fire and scrub out
the closets, and if he does this as it
should be done he will we'll earn his sal
ary.
DIR. F. "A. Bowman was appointed ply
stefan for Leon and vicinity and the
practice at the county poor farm at an
annual salary of $197.5O, an increase
over last year of $25, and the county
furnishes the medicines this year in
stead of being furnished by the county
physician.
In the contest for the appointment of
the third official paper, THE REPORTER
and Leon Journal were appointed with
out contest, the other papers waving
all contest as to them. The Garden
Grove Express did not file their list and
the Lamont Chronicle filed list Of 753
names and the Lamont Patriot list of
SOL names. The board appointed the La.
moni Chronicle as the third official
paper. The Patriot filed notice of pro.
test against the Chronicles list and the
matter will probably be settled in the
District Court on appeal from the board Is
decision.

w. w. Powers, the we'll driller from
Lamont, who did the drilling on VIM.
Biggs' deep we'll is in the city making
preparations to put the we'll down
another 100 feet in an effort to find a
strong vein of water. The we'll is now
down to depth of $50 feet and it will
cost $3.50 to go another 100 feet. OF
this amount Mr.. Biggs subscribed 500,
Mr.. Powers $50, and paper was circu-
lated among our citizens for the other
500, the understanding being that in
case water is struck Mr.. Biggs will return
all the money that has been
subscribed. He has himself spent a
large sum in prospecting for water and
does not feel like bearing all the expense
if it amounts to nothing, and he should
not be expected to, as all our citizens
are benefited by the prospecting. 1t is
thought that the balance of the money
can be raised to-day and Mr.. Powers
will commence drilling at once.
