Sioux City, Dec. 10.-"An last night
I heard them talking outside my cell;
they said, Let's get that Swede and
string him up They're after me all
right, chief, and I wish you'd send two
officers to guard me today
Nervously twisting his cap in his
hands, Charles Carlson, formerly res
ident Of Sioux City, but more recently
living in Detroit, told Chief Davenport
this morning that band Of Germans
were after him with the avowed inten
ton of stringing him up to the nearest
telephone pole.
Carlson was sent up from Wood
bury county to Clarinda about three
years ago and for some time was an
inmate of the insane asylum. He was
released about year ago as cured and
since then has been working for farm
ers near Hawarden and Odebolt. Dur
ing the past three months he has been
employed by an Odebolt lawyer who
lives short distance west of town.
Carlson came in hot haste to Sioux
City last night to throw his imaginary
enemies off his trail. Aside from his
belief that he is scheduled for lynch
ing, the man talks nationally enough,
but when he appeared at the station
last evening he startled the officers by
his abrupt entrance:
Help, help" he baw1ed, "ther're
outside with a rope; save me; save
me; the Germans want to hang me-"

Des Moines, Dec. 10.-The efforts Of
the Iowa State Horticultural Society,
now in this city, will be largely direct
ed the next few years to dissemination
of information regarding fruit and flow
er culture, if the suggestions OF both
President Wragg and Secretary Greene
are carried out. The last legislature
made an appropriation of $4,000 year
for this society, which is an increase of
$500. President Wragg is in favor of
dividing the annual report up into
twelve parts and publishing 1t monthly,
so that the information contained
tary Greene recommends publication OF
bulletins from time to time. President
Wragg urged that the greatest work
which could be done by the society
would be in reaching all the people and
them in horticulture. The
state superintendent has done much to
get the subject before the pupils In the
ana there Is liOIC W NC uoiiSs
The society has been giving eXhibitlons
these many years and is carrying on
experiments at several stations. This
experiment work is being continued
right along. In making exhibitions the
state is divided into three districts run
ming the long way of the state. The
president suggests that the southern
district be decreased by taking off one
tier Of counties and the northern be en-
larged that much.
The meetings of the horticultural So
ciety alternated with meetings of the
newly formed state park and forestry
association, which is working along
similar lines.
An association of state park COM
missioners and park superintendent
was formed here today for the purpose
of encouraging legislation relating to
parks.

Iowa congressman Fear to Risk Gen.
eral Shakeup of Districts.
Washington, d. -, Dec. 10.-The re-
cent talk about redfstricting the state
is not regarded with favor by the Iowa
congressman. Representatives Conner
and Smith yesterday declared them
selves opposed to the project. The prin-
cipal objection seems to be the fear
that such redistricting would place
some of the present congressman in the
same district and thus end somebody's
congressional career. Then there is
also a very evident opinion that the
Second district is able to take care OF
itself and should be left to do so. The
redfstricting talk, of course, all arose
from the fact that a democrat was
elected in the Second district this fall
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1902-12-10

1t was not thought that state which
rolls up 10000 republican majority
should have democratic representa-
ton at Washington. The congressman
point to the fact that the Second went
republican for the state ticket and de-
clare that it ought to be able to elect
a republican representative without
any such aid as redistricting. 1t seems
quite evident that movement to redis-
trict would meet with opposition from
the Iowa delegation. The sentiment ap-
pears to be in favor of leaving the Sec
ond district to fight out it's own battles
in the belief that it can do it success
