THE TINES Position.
THE TIMES is in favor ofanex-
pert examination ST the actions
81 the Beard Of Supervisors as
well as Of any county officer.

The gang at Logan pretend to
be working simply in the interest
of tho Clear people" in their pres
ent efforts to remove the loard OF
supervisors, when the fact is,
they are working for their own
sordid ends. The gang dou't
care any more for the "dear PEG.
ple' than the average hobo does
for hard work. They don't care
how much money the Board APP
propriates just 80 they get their
hands on the pile. They are
simply making the cry "for the
dear people" in order to hide their
own nefarious designs on the
county. A gentleman who is we'll
acquainted with the gang, and a
man who has lived in Logan for a
long time, gives the following as
the plan of the gang:
The removal of the present
board of Supei visors and the APP
pointment of one of their own
choosing, one that they can de-
pend on to do their bidding.
They count on appointing the
following members if they can
succeed in removing the present
Board.
George McCoid, of Logan, to
take the place of George Reitf.
Torrance McCabe, of Raglan
township, to take the place of w
s Kelley. They don't care who is
appointed to take the place of
Charley Hilliard, as the other two
will make them a working major
ity.
The first duty the Board would
be asked to do would be to vote
S., 900 for the improvement of the
court house, and $4,000 for the
Improvement of the county Jail.
The next work the gang"
would require of "rMEIR BoAED"
would be the redistricting of the
county into five supervisor die
tricts, arranging the districts so
that Logan would have "dead
mortal clnch' on three of the
districts.
Then the "Logan board" would
be asked to stop the Investigations
of the expert recently hired for
that purpose, as they do not want
ALL the Offices examined by an ex-
pert, as the expert might discover
some things that the gang might
not want DISCOVERED.
The gang feels that it woull do
no good to remove Reiff and Hill
lizard without removing Kelley, as
a Mo Valley man would be APP
pointed to act with Mr. Kelley
and the gang would be thereby
stopped from carrying out their

the winter months when the city
is usually filled with poor people,
who are in more or less destitute
condition. Many of these either
have relatives who would provide

secure the necessary transporta-

While in the past, it has been

Two Missouri Valley Boys Kid
mapped But Finally Returned


The Freshman banquet of the Class
of 1905 in Iowa City last Thursday
occasioned rather an exciting episode
in which two Missouri Valley students
Harry E. Boies and Adm n. Brown,
played rather important parts. As is
customary in such events, the Fresh
men do the proposing while the older
classmen attempt to do the disposing.
Harry E ]Soies was to act as toast
master during the banquet, but early
Thursday morning he and Adm Brown
mysteriously disappeared, the cause
of the same being finally traced to the
older classmen. The boys we're re-
tanned by delegation of the "Sophs"
until long after the festivities had
commenced and then just to put the
finishing touches to their victory the
"Sophs" conceived the rather brilliant
idea of taking their two luckless cap
tives to the banquet hall and there
place them on exhibition in one of the
windows opening into the hall. The
appearance of the two freshmen pre-
cipitated general riot in which foot
ball tactics played an important part
and finally the Sophs were put to re-
treat, leaving their captives in pos
session of the lower classmen. Boies,
clad in his everyday military suit, then
assumed his duties as POSTMASTER, and
like Bertha M Clay's efforts, every
thing ended happily.

Charles Peasley, an o'd inhabltant of
River Sioux, Saturday afternoon saw
his soa, James Peasley, shit and al
most Instantly killed bv the Young
mans uncle, Thomas Pessley, the
tragedy occurring ON the public street
in River Sioux Saturday afternoon
the young mans father being the only
witness to the terrible stfair.
While public sentiment in the mat
ter varies slightly, it seems that the
greater majority favors and sympath-
izss with Thomas, the man who did
the killing.
just what the background to the
tragedy is no one knows and unless it
ls brought out at the trial soon to be
commenced it probably will never be
known. Whatever the motive, thers
has been bad feeling between the two
men for some time, some claiming in
side information in the matter state
family troubles are prominently con-
cerned. The two men met on the
street in River Sioux Saturday after
noon and after short parlsnce the
two engaged in rough and tumble
fight. Although younger, James
Peasley, who WAS about % years of
age, soon had the better of the struggle
and was handling his uncle in man
ner anything but gentle Finally the
uncle, Thomas Peasley, broke loose
from his husky nephew and after this
time stories of the affair differ. Ac-
cQ1ding to the nncle's statement, who
was in this city Yesterday afternoon in
custody of Constable Rock, enroute to
Logan, he started for his wagon stand
ing nearby and intended to go home.
Just as he was in the act of climbing
over the wagon wheel, he claims his
nephew came up from behind and
struck him blow on the back of the
head. He then reached for his over
coat which was on the spring seat.
Getting his revolver from one of the
coat pockets he saws he then turned
and without dismounting from the
wagon, commenced to shoot for the
purpose of soaring his belligerent
nephew. lie states he had not the
least intention of killing or even in
juring the young man, but exercised.
as he thought, great care to shoot over
his head. The first two shots went
wide of the mark, but on the third
discharge of the weapon the young
man in some manner got in the range
of the revolver and the bullet took
effect in his skull, intiictlng wound
that caused death about thirty min
utes after. After the shooting and
during the general excitement occa-
stoned by the discharge of the weapon,
Peasley made his escape and walked
to Little Sioux, where he surrendered
himself to Constable Rock, stating
that he had killed his nephew.
The regulations of the two men will
be greatly in favor of Thomas when
the trial commences He is about 30
years of age, generally industrious,
almost total abstainer, and has a
reputation for his generally congenial
habits. James Peasley was about
twenty-five years old and had estsb
lished quite reputation for his quar-
rellsome conduct in the year past

Mild Winter Makes Money.

Farmers are now discussing
the feed proposition with great
deal more glee than they did two
months ago. The mild and dry
winter has brought their stock
through on the natural feed in
the fields to such an extent that
now most farmers will have feed
to spare when spring comes. The
prices of corn and fodder and hay
to feeders have gone tumbling
until it is now no more than the
average price for such stuff in or
diuary seasons. What farmers
lost in short crops last year has
been more than made up by the
increased prices and the mild
weather.
Up to this time Iowa never saw
finer winter than this. But one
week or SO of cold weather, no
snow to cover the feed in the
fields, no strong and stock-shrink-
ing winls, no storms, and but lit
tile discomfort out doors or in.
The fuel question, too, has been
made a light one by the favorable
weather, and altogether Iowa and
the west have been helped to the
top wave of prosperity by merci-
full providence. We ought now
to stand whatever comes for the
balance of the winter without
complaining -Denison Bulletin
