WEALTHY FARMER MISSING.
Joe Dawson, of Clear Lake, Disappears
From Home.


Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Nov. 19.-There is consid-
cradle apprehension over the mysteri-
Gus disappearance of Joe Dawson, q
wealthy farmer living near Clear Lake
Sunday he visited a neighbor and left
about 5 O'Clock for his home. He was in
good spirits and there appeared 10 be
nothing wrong with him. He failed to
reach home and about midnight the
family started in search for him. When
they went to Mr.. Seabury's and found
that he had left for home at the hour
above mentioned, they were naturally
alarmed and several of the neignbors
We're aroused. A thorough search was
made for him but no trace whatever
could be found. The pail he carried
from Seabury's was found in the horse
barn. SO it would appear that he got at
least as far as the barn. a thorough
search of the premises has been made.
but nowhere were there evidences that
he had been around.
Mr. Seabury expressed the opinion that
he must have gone into the barn for
something and was either kicked or fell
and was rendered unconscious and has
wandered away. This seems to be the
general opinion among the neigh bors.
Others express themselves that they be-
lieve an attempt was made to rob him
and in doing this the robbers Killed him
and hid his body. This theory. however.
was displaced by the assertion that
Dawson was seen in this city Monday
He doubtless has taken a train out of
the city. going it is not known where.
1t is probable that Dawson is mentally
deranged and it Is feared he will wan.
der about and die from exposure.

TROUBLE OVER A PARK.
Grand Jury at Burlington Asked to
Investigate Grape, ct al.

Burlington, Nov. 1S.-It is rumored
here that the grand jury of the dis
trict court of Des Moines county now in
session In this city, will be asked to
investigate charges proffered against
Phillip NJ. Grape, one of Burlington's
richest and most public spirited men,
He is accused of criminal libel by fellow
members of the park commissioners of
which board he is the president and has
been for a number of years. MIR. Grape
is also president of the board of trus-
tees of the Burlington Free Public Lii
brary and has expended large sums of
money on the parks of this city ard the
library
When plans were made for turning
the land along the southern bluffs INTO
public park, some years ago. Mr.. Grape
was president of the board and was one
of the most energetic workers for the
cause. 1t was difficult matter to raise
funds and Mr.. Grape offered to contri-
but the sum of $4,000 if the park should
be called Grape park. This was done
and Grape park today is one of the most
beautiful in the state of Iowa. Mr..
Grape wished to manage the park to
suit himself and disliked to have the
other members of the board interfere in
any way with his plans, and at .ength
paid no attentions to the wishes AID ac-
tons taken by the other two commits
sioners.
Ernest Book and Theodore Rundorf
were elected park commissioners with
p NJ. Grape. two years ago and since
that time the breach between the presl-
dent and other members of the board
has been broadening. President Grape
has refused to call a meeting OF the board
and when a meeting Of the board was
called by the other two members he
refused to attend or abide by the reso-
lutions passed at that meeting. AT one
meeting which Grape refused to recog-
nize. the other two members allowed
several bills and drew the orders for
them but presidnt Grape refused to sign
the orders

depot, at Plymouth, We're entered and
six fine hogs belonging to George e.
Ridgway were stolen. Here is de-
scription of the property: Two large
black sows, weight 765, and four small
'er hogs weighing 500 pounds one
yellow cast, the balance black ones. 1t
was a bold piece of business, but in
this section of the country burglars
thieves and robbers are getting tre-
mendously brave and it seems to pay.
The people of this county want to make
it hot for some of these fellows and
hunt them down, If it costs big money
1t isn't very much satisfaction, tho, to
catch men who rob stores and blow
open safes to see them get only two
years, as was the case last week over
in Floyd county. If that is the extent
of the punishment to be inflicted on
such class of people it will not have
much of an effect.
