Mr.. Romans Does Not
Want Nomination.
Says Leaders, Statement that
He Will Stand for Governor
is Untrue.

The Des Moines Leader of Thursday
contained statement that Mr.. j. B.
Romans would be presented as the
democratic nominee for Governor. On
being interviewed by the Review, Mr..
Romans said that he had never heard
OF such thing. That while still a
democrat of the new school in princi-
pie. he was out of politics and in bust
ness and intended to remain where he
was. He said that he had no sympathy
with the old democratic party but that
he did believ 1in the doctrines of BRYAN
and should continue to support the
democratic party as long as they repre-
sented those principles. He said fur
ther that he would not accept the dem
ocratic nomination for governor even
though sure of election Mr. Romans
was as plain and as emphatic as it
could be made and we see no reason to
doubt his sincerity 1t is certainly an
honor to MIR. Romans to be seriously
considered as the democratic standard.

Mr.. Peter AfZen, near neigh
Dor, and who knew something of
the affairs of Warn, tells us that
he knew and that others knew that
he intended to come to Denison
today and make a aSpayment of over
$500 and that he had the money
at his home. Mr.. Atzen is inclin.
ed to believe that there has been
foul play about the matter and that
perhaps the men were murdered
for the money. This theory can
hardly hold, however, if it is true
that Warn was seen firing the
buildings himself, and this comes

Albert Dodge Claims

Albert Dodge claims that he was
robbed of forty dollars in Hedderman's
saloon at Arion last Monday and ac-
cuses Mart Henry and Jim Mccarthy
of having committed the crime As
near as we can learn it is claimed that
Dodge went to Arion last Monday and
sold IL load of hogs, that he afterwards
went to the saloon and spent money
freely for liquor treating the defend
ants in the case and remaining in the
saloon until he became somewhat in
toxicated. 1t is then claimed that

place. This probably accounts for
the apparent indifference and lack
OF interference. 1t may we'll be
expected that more of the details
and perhaps some solution of the
crime may come to light and in
that event the Review will keep its
readers posted on the most terri
bic tragedy that has ever occurred
in Crawford county.
We have just learned that some
years ago, Mr.. Warn was brutally
beaten in row at "a party and that
he has never been right in his mind
since that time. We also neglect
ed to state that near the body was
found the blade of butcher knife
and revolver. There is some
censure over the fact, that Warn
was not looked after by the author

such an awful tragedy could not
have occurred.

motive prompted the deed, whether
it was insanity or morose grief, God
alone can tell. Warn was not a
pleasant man, he was morose aad
Of bad disposition. The son was
subject to fits of insanity and at
one time he ran away and was only
found after searching parties had
been organized. This fact has
caused another theory to be advanc-
ed, that the son became insane,
fired the buildings, killed his father
and escaped. Again this theory
runs up against the fact that the
father was seen by several reliable
parties, among whom are Mr..
Stensen and Mr.. Cal. Drake oi
Denison, while he was firing the
buildings.

The Landlubber Ducks of Sahara

The proverbial fondness of ducks for
water would lead one to presuppose that
OF all the world the most destitute Of
ducks would be the Sahara desert, and
that If stray 'springtail happened to
drift into that region it would either
vamose or turn up his toes with briefest
delay. Well, not at ALL" said French
man now in the city who was formerly
a resident Of Tunis.
There are parts of the desert where
ducks abound, flourish and multiply with
every evidence of perfect satisfaction.
The fowl is slightly different from any
OF the varieties we know in this country,
but It has the same fiat bill, extensive
breast and web feet, showing that it was
once water bird, though now it scarcely
finds enough to drink, and has become
too provident to waste any of the pre-
cious fluid in additions. Like the other
good Mussulmans of the country, thew
take their prescribed bath in the sand
and their web feet come in very handy
as snoWshoes to walk upon the deer
yielding dust. 1t is claimed by an emf
nent French Ornithologist that the Sa-
haran ducks are the remains of race OF
aquatic birds which frequented those
seas when the present desert was a par.
of the Atlantic ocean.
While We are introducing foreic.,
bugs, beetles and beasts into the United
States for various purposes, why not try
some OF the desert ducks in some Of
our arid western lands ?"-New Orleans
