The proceeds of the charity ball
Tuesday evening aggregated 5000. OF
this $175 was from the sale of tickets
and the balance was taken in by the
ladies of the auxiliary from the refresh
ment booths. The expense amounts
to about $50, leaving a nice little sum
as balance to be turned over to the
hospital board.
Red Oak.
DR.. f. NJ. Holmes, the new Method
list pastor has moved into a new par
612 Hammond street. In expectation
of erecting new church edifice the
coming year. the trustees Of the church
decided that a new parsonage was
necessary, as the present one would
have to be removed. No location
seemed so desirable as the Mankes
place, and negotiations were entered
into for it's purchase. The sale was
completed on the basis Of $4,000.
Sac City.
The Sac City Canning establishment
finished it's seasons run October 1st.
Its output for this year Is 100000 cans
of corn. Geo. II. Robson, who
moved only last spring to the valley of
the Missouri, in Harrison county, has
sold part of the farm he bought there.
Last week he returned to Sac county
and investigated with view to buying
and returning to a better country. On
Tuesday of this week he closed a deal
thru w. C. I4ookinghill & Co.. for the
purchase OF the j. L. Williams farm OF
200 acres in sections 16 and 3, Cedar
township, paying therefor $57 an acre.
Traer.
According to the Starr Clipper not
all the renters will go hungry this year.
Jacob Wilgus, on the Speer eighty
near Traer, had eighteen acres of bar
ley that paid the rent on the whole
farm. He says he threshed about sos
bushels from the eighteen acres, which
he sold to r. r. Smith in Traer at
forty-five cents per bushel, realizing
$3.50 from the crop. The land has
been farmed continuously for many
years without rest. William Tom
linson has begun suit in the district
court against John Owens for $50 al
legged to be due him in a corn deal.
From time to time Owens got corn of
Tomlinson, who claims the corn was
not purchased, but borrowed, and was
to be returned. Owens claims he
bought the corn and is willing to pay
for it at the agreed price at the time
the corn was taken. There being a
difference of 100 per cent in the mar
ket then and now, Mr.. Tomlinson
asks the benefit Of the same.

WOMAN IS ACQUITTED
Verdict Of Not Guilty Rendered in
the Trial Of Mrs. James

JuRrs DECISION SOON MADE
First Ballot Disposed Of the Charge
of Murder in the First Degree and
Second Ballot Was for Complete Ac-
quittaI-Prisoner Immediately Given
Her Freedom.


Special to Times-Republican.
Iowa City, Oct. 6.-"Not guilty"
That is the verdict in the case OF the
State OF Iowa VS.. Mrs. James Gallau-
CHER, charged with the murder of her
husband the night of June 20. The
jury took but two ballots and decided
that she was innocent.the first vote
settling the question Of murder in the
first degree, and the second deciding
the matter of murder in the second de-
gree.
The Jury was out from 1880 until be-
fore midnight, but took no ballots until
the session was nearly over, and then
its action was prompt and decisive.
Outside of the testimony of Charles
Holada, the jurors found nothing con-
elusive. and very little suggestive, Of
guilt, and the self-confessed scound-
reYs testimony was rejected as worth
no consideration.
The verdict was anticipated by the
entire city, as the previous reports
have showed, and the only expressed
surprise was over the fact that the jury
took even seven hours to settle the
problems.
The effect Of the trial is to assure
Holada's conviction-humanl speaking
his trial is set for November, but 1t is
believed here that, before that time he
will make a bona fide confession, to
supplant his lying story given herein
last summer. and then throw himself on
the mercy of the court.
Senator Ranck, who is defending him,
declines to talk for publication. Mrs.
Gallaugher, the happiest woman in
johnson county, went to the home OF
her murdered husband, In River juno

BASE BALL.

Last Sunday the Golden Reds came up

calls. 1t was the first game of the season
played in Central with an outside nine,
and with "Sleepy" in the box, and the
arge crowd that lined the grounds, it
reminded the fans of eight and ten years
ago, when Gilpin county had the base
ball craze, and it was game worth wit
Messing. In the first inning Golden got
two runs on errors but after that could do
nothing with Simmons delivery, and
when the ball was hit the Central boys
fielded fairly we'll. and there is chance
for much improvement to be maee in
their fielding, and kept Golden from
scoring any more. The locals failed to
make score, although several times a
hit would have brought in one or more
runs. The home boys need to hit better
and work together, but what they mostly
need is a little encouragement in the
shape Of a five or ten cent piece from
every spectator who witnesses the game

Idaho Springs News: w. ]. Cham
berlain, head of the Chamberlain Dill

yer Tuesday morning and visited with
his son, A. W., for a few hours, and in
the afternoon drove over to Central City.
Mr.. Chamberlain was very reticent re-
garding the establishment Of indepen-
dent samplers but admitted that nego-
tiations were on between his company
and the Carpenter smelter for the State
Ore plants at this place and Black Hawk,
but that nothing tangible had been ar
rived at. There seems to be we'll founded
reports that the Carpenter smeter will
establish sampler IN Clear Creek and
Gilpin counties and there is no reason
why they should not have the ores from
these two counties as the smelter was
built at Golden solely for the treatment
OF the ores in this section. A good mary
changes have been made and tie smelter
has been enlarged since being started
up SO that now we are assured that they
can handle quite bulk of rock and we
believe the people should favor the Col
den smelter in preferen TO the t-ust
smelter at Denver.
