Eldora, Sept, 30.-The old story OF
gold watch and mans money had an
unusual termination in this city yes
terday. A smooth young, man has been
conducting an auction sale OF jewelry
on the south side for the past week.
Saturday the business became little
dull and the auctioneer to stimulate
the bidders, announced that the watch
he offered was equal to any time keeper
in town, had so many jewels, was the
regulation railroad time keeper, etc.
One Alfred Noack, a pump man OF
this city. secured one at bid of $4.15
but upon investigation became tired OF
his bargain, took it back and de-
manded his money back. The propri-
etor refused to take back the watch
and return & - money and ordered
Noack out. sNOack sWOre out a Warrant
for the arrest of the auctioneer charg-
ing him with obtaining money under
false pretenses.
The officer failed to locate the auc-
tioneer who it appears got wind OF
the warrant and pulled out by buggy
to neighboring town where he took
train for safety.
The proprietor of the auction after
the case hunted up Noack
and by paying him $25 secured his
promise not to prosecute the case.
1t is, however, intimated that the
grand jury will be asked to inv estigate
the affair.

Grinnell, Sept 30.-The case of state

to a jury today in Justice Wilson'S
court. The jury was out but q short
time and brought in verdict of gull

costs. Defendant stands committed to
Jail and gave notice Of appeal.
The informer in this case was w. w,

formation was made last February, but
no arrest was made until last Satur-
day
The charge was killing quail for
traffic between Nov. l, 1901 and Jan. 1.
1902.
There were eleven counts, Of which
seven were dismissed. The evidence
on the part OF the state was over

as the penalty is $40 bird and as
each count charged defendant with

talk all summer. All true sportsmen
were against defendant. Defendant Is
a blacksmith. Last November he quit
his shop and spent most of his time
until Jan. LIST hunting. The evidence
showed that he bought over 500 shells
at one store: that he killed quail by
the hundreds, but there was no evil
dence that he killed more than Is or
anyone day; that he took orders for
quail at $3.50 per dozen and then filled
these orders; that he. sold quail twice
to B. D. Carney, once to, FsHam-

to Dolph Cox, once to H: II. Lanphere

that he killed during the open season
over 900 quail. Certain 1t is that this
fellow has practically exterminated
quail within radius Of 10 miles Of
Grinnell. Defendant testified in his
