DON'T WANT ANNEXATION.
Farmers Around Danbury Object to
Extension of Corporation.

Sioux City. July S.-Three farmers
living on the outskirts of the enterprise
ing town of Danbury are determined TO
check the vaulting ambition of the viii
lage to become city by annexing their
farms to the present corporate limits.
They have applied for writ of injunc-
ton to the district court to restrain the
town officers and election judges and
clerks from holding an election July 10
on the proposition to enlarge the terri
tory of the town.
Danbury is now plated on less than
a quarter section of ground. and there
is an abundance of vacant space left
on this plat to build two or three towns.
However. the council passed a resolu-
ton June last to enlarge the limits to
include about 400 acres more within the
town boundaries. This puts all Of the
farms owned by w. f. Seibold. John
Harrington and John Lippold into the
town and subjects them 10 town taxa
ton. These land owners are the plain
tffs in the injunction suit
In the petition filed it is charged by
the three petitioners that the acton of
the town officers in passing the resolu-
ton and ordering an sieetion was
without legal right and with fraudu-
lent and corrupt motives. ard that
the said action is taken for the purpose
of placing the assessment Of the farms
and personal property Of these plaintiffs
In the hands OF said municipal govern
ment with the fraudulent and corrupt
motive to Illegally enhance the assess
ment of said lands and personal proper
ty. and of unjustly and Illegally making
said lands and personal property sub
ject to the payment of taxes for roads
and other Improvements within said
town.
The chief motive however, seems TO
have been to bring the personal proper
ty of the three farmers within the tax
ing Jurisdiction of the town. Between
them the farmers own a considerable
amount of personality. and as it IS
listed for taxation wherever they maize
their homes. he town of Danbury
would have much heavier tax list and
its revenues would be increased or IFS
rate of taxation decreased.
An early hearing is TO be given the
application for an injunction.

Dubuque, July 8.-Thomas f. Ward,
accused of being defaulter to the ex-
tent of 100000 as vice president Of the
LeMars National bank, is in jail here.
He was brought by United States
marshal from New Jersey Wards bail

he was arraigned, nor by the United

G. Henderson of Sioux City
Ward was interviewed While lying in
the United States cell of the Dubuque
county jail. He looked anything but a
man in charge of federal officers on a
serious charge. He talked coolly and
not trace of care of worry appeared
on his clear-cut face. He was perfectly
self-contained and exhibited not the
slightest emotion as he lesurely an
swered the few questions asked him
What will you claim for your de-
fense?"
The bank owed me $4,000" the bank
er answered quietly, and 1 don't see

A Dream Fulfilled.

Upon the death of Mr.. A. p. Hubbard
some months ago, he being tho treasurer
of both the Masonic Chapter and Council
of this city, Mr.. f. Il. Wilhite, recently
deceased, was elected to take his place.
He took charge of the books and was
soon after taken Ill himself, and upon
his death Mr.. Albert Sharpe was elected
to the position Of treasurer. But the
treasurcr's books could not be found,
although DR.. j. o. Wilhite made the
most diligent search among his effeots
for them. Mr.. Sharpe was greatly non
plusscd over the matter, as he had no
data upon which to proceed in the alb
scncc of the books. A few mornings ago
DR.. Wilhite stepped into the Bank of
Anderson, where Mr.. Sharpe clerks, and
told him that he had had very strange
dream and that in his dream he met his
brother and after somo conversation with
him asked him what he did with the
treasurcrs books. The reply was that if
he would look on top of certain sholf
in the vault of the office of tho Clerk of
Court they would find them. They de-
cided to do 80 and sure enough there
they were found. Is this some kind of
spiritual telepathy 2-Anderson Daily
