was not Of much value.

Stoddard was observed by an inmate Of
the house to be rifing a trunk.
Later he turned UP at Newport and en-

MURDER IN POKER GAME
Enoch Burrell Kills Frank Thompson
For 80 Cents.

Lamont, July 9.-The quiet little re.
union grounds at Davis City, small
inland town seven miles east of here,
has just witnessed a murder scene
that will long be remembered. Enoch
Burrell killed Frank Thompson with a
blow from lis fist. A report comes
that these two men with others, had
been playing poker in the park across
the river from the town. 1t seems
that Thompson had been losing and
owed Burrell 80 cents. AS the other
men arose to go home Burrell asked
Thompson when he was going to pay
him that 80 cents, and Thompson re
piled, when you are big enough to
take 1t, "whereupon Burrell hit him a
terrific blow, and then another, in the
LETT temple which killed him instant
ly.
Burrell fearing rough treatment Mt
the hands of Thompson's friends, inn
mediately took his departure, going
with his father to tae home of rela.
tive near town. The news was sent
at once to the sheriff, who started
after the murderer and placed him in
Jail at Leon.
While trouble Over 80 cents was the

ago they had a fight, when Thompson
proved the better man. weighing near

DISCOVERS NEW LIGHT.
Iowa Man Bottles UP Dazzling Never
Falling Brilliancy.

GAINESVILLE, July 11.-Aquilla Walker
of this place, the president of the Ce-
dar Falls and GAINESVILLE Heat, Light
and Power company, has perfected a
light after long term of experiments
which he says for illumination will
surpass the electric light by several
degrees and will revolutionize the light
problem. Mr.. Walker has patents penS
ing, and will manufacture the lights
on large scale as soon as sufficient
capital can be interested in his dis
covery. By a combination Of chemicals
he produced light within an alright
glass globe similar to those used for
incandescent lights, and when once
sealed and protected from the air, the
light will last until the globe is
broken. There is no current, no ex-
pense after once made. The lights can
be suspended from wires or fixtures to
suit the taste of the customer Mr..
Walker claims that a light of this ma
ture, erected 1000 feet from the earth.
will shed light on the ground sufficient
for reading purposes, and that for
street purposes it cannot besurpassed.
He has not revealed the ingredients he
uses. He says he has been correspond
ing with parties who will take hold of
the enterprise and push it as soon as
he demonstrates that his claims for
his discovery can be fulfilled. When
patented, the rights will be sold for
states. He expects to reap a hand
some profit from his labors.

ASSESSMENTS ARE UNEVEN.
In Many Counties Assessors Find
More Land Than Usual.

In Many Counties Assessors Find
More Land Than Usual.
Des Moines, July 11.-0ne of the
strange things in connection with the
assessment of real estate in Iowa this
year as indicated in the returns which
have been made to the state auditor
is that the acreage of farm land as.
sessed varies greatly in different coun-
ties from what 1t was at the time of
last assessment two years ago. In
some counties the assessors found
more land than before and in others
they found much less. On the whole,
the acreage, as indicated in the asses
sors' returns. has materially decreas-
ed. Here are some OF the decreases
in the counties showing the falling off:
Pottawattamie county 1906, Warren
1926, Sioux 5.613, Boone S,642, Adair
9,097, Guthrie APO, Polk 5,096, Wayne
4,377, Henry 4,2S8, Appanoose 1884.
Grundy $3.50, Harrison 1909, Marshall
539, Mills 1,422, Monona 1922. Among
the counties that show an increase are
the following: Monroe 1884, Hamil-
ton $685. Kossuth 5,722, Woodbury.
1920, Palo Alto 2,375, Jefferson 5000,
Jasper 3,421, Clay S,072, Cerro Gordo
2,147, Emmett 2,325 Other changes in
acreage from the amounts which have
been taxed as farm lands heretofore
are smaller than these sums as indi-
Gated. The executive council begins
assessment work next week and it is
probable there will be some inquiry
made as to the reason for these chan
ges in acreage. The losses may
be partially accounted for on the
ground that much larger number of
soldiers exemptions we're allowed this
year than before the passage Of the
law giving exemptions to all soldiers
and their widows without regard to
their statements Of poverty. But the
members of the executive council are
unable to account for the increase in
acreage in some counties except on
the score of greater care in the assess
ment of property and desire to reach
all property assessed.
