four miles south of West Union just
east of the Fayette road, died rather
mysteriously. Both poison and cere-
bre spinal meningitis were suggested
as the cause. Little was thought
about this, however, until about four
weeks later when hog died and a
week later another. On Sunday a
horse was taken sick. DR.. Kennedy,
of this city was called. He ordered the
animal tied with a strong inch rope.
On Monday morning the animal was
standing quietly, but on Monday
evening when DR.. Kennedy called
again the horse had bitten out great
chunks of flesh from.his front legs and
the floor under his feet was strewn
with blood and flesh. He ordered the
horse killed This was done and the
body buried deeply. Two cows were
also killed. Some of the neighbors
became suspicious of their dogs and
killed them. So far as we have been
able to learn there have been no
other casualties. West Union Argo.

A $50. 900 LAND DEAL.

One of the big land transactions of
the year occurred Wednesday when
George Howard sold the Lang farm of
800 acres near Hanlontown for nearly
$50 an acre. When a man can draw
his check for nearly $4,000 in these
times when money is somewhat close
it would seem that finances in Cerro
Gordo were on good sound basis.
The farm was purchased by Mr..
Howard about year ago and the rise
in value has made him snug fee by
holding it just year. The land is
choice land and with what Mr.. Wheel
er owns in that vicinity will make
him garden spot of about 1000 acres

NO MONEY FOR
THOMAS SQUARE

Contractor c. B. Dwight is having
a rather difficult time in getting the
money on his contract for building
sidewalks about Thomas Square. Some
time ago it was discovered that he
could not be paid from the appropria-
ton as it stood, and the money would
have to be reappropriated. Then a
concurrent resolution was passed in
both Houses, making the necessary ap-
preparation. Now the auditor has
again refused to issue the warrants,
and gives as a reason the unanswera-
BILE argument, that the Legislature can
not appropriate money by concurrent
resolution. The matter will therefore
again be presented to the House, and
probably a Joint resolution adopted.
A joint resolution has to have the gov
ernor's signature, which according to
the auditor is necessary before any
money can be appropriated or paid.
The Attorney General has rendered
an opinion in the matter, also, in
which he sustains the auditor.
