Charlton, Jan. 10.-(Special Cores
pondence )-Attorney G. G. Mclntlre
of Ottumwa, who was stricken with
paralysis some months ago While Wis
iting his sister-in-law, Miss Jula
Chickering of this place has never re-
covered from the effects of the stroke
and is now in serious condition with
little or no hope of his recovery His
mind is entirely gone and his physical
condition which was for time
thought to be improving is now at
very low ebb and it is feared he can
not last many days longer. Mr.. Mcln-
tire is afflicted with very annoying
hallucinations, among them being the
idea that they think him dead and are
trying to bury him alive and that ne
is in prison and attempting to escape
which makes his condition very pitt
full indeed.
Supervisors Check up Treasurer's
Books.
The board of supervisors spent the
forenoon Thursday in examining the
books of the retiring county treasurer
and found everything in eXcelleHt
shape. In the afternoon they took 8
tour of inspection of the county farm
which has been under the supervision
of Frank D. Nisewender and wife. The
board found everything there in shil
shape and highly complimented Mr.
Nisewender on his conduct of the
farm. The report Of the retiring coun
ty superintendent has been filed and
shows balance of $105.94 in the in
stitute fund. This is slightly less
than when he took charge two, years
ago which fact is accounted for from
the fact that attendance at the inst
tute has slightly decreased during tn
past two years. A few unimportan
petitions were presented and TIL
board expects to get down to bushes
today and complete the work of tn
session before Saturday.
