FUN AT BRITT.
The Long Disputed Superiority of D

The Long Disputed Superiority of Dr.
cowper's Trotter Tested.
Special to Times Republican.
Britt. June 11.-Britt business men
took half holiday Tuesday to take in
the sport at the race track and ball
grounds. For some time there has been
a dispute as to which of two trotters
belonging respectively to DR.. Cowper
and joke Rohrbach, was the faster.
Tuesdays races proved that DR. Cow
per's horse was much the faster win
ming easily two of the three heats. In
the second heat Rohrbacil's horse came
in ahead for the reason that Cowper's
horse became slightly frightened at
an automobile on the track and broke.
The automobile races between E. w.
Burgitt and E. f. Larson proved slow
time, because of heavy track and a
strong wind.
The ball players We're composed of
east and west side Main street bust
ness men. resulting in a score of IL
to Is in favor of the west side. The
game was exceptionally good owing to
the fact that many We're good players
several years ago. The east side
team are not content with their de-
feat, and yesterday arrangements were
made for another game in the near fu-
ture.
The admission was 10 cents, which
went to the Hancock County Agrlcul-
tural Society. The attendance was
large in spite of cold wind.

tempted to cross the Rankin dyke
and get into the river. Their boat
was caught in the eddy and became
unmanageable and the occupants We're
thrown out and over the dyke. Fortu-
nately both managed to get hold of the
boat which was now bottom side up.
Clinging to the boat they drifted over
a quarter of mile before they could
get the boat right side up and enough
water out to enable them to get into 1t.
They finally managed to reach the dyke
and make landing by padding with
their hands. the oars having been lost
when the boat eapsized.

Special to Times Republican.
Newton, June 11.-Mrs. Louis Nell
gies, an old German lady living in
Greencastle died in very peculiar way
on last Thursday morning. Some few
months ago. her husband was taken
from her, and since that time she has
been very Respondent and this coupled
with poor health has made her life
miserable Several times she had ex-
pressed desire to depart from this
life and had been a source of much
concern to her son and neighbors. The
son, Englebert, had been with her for
some time and done every thing possible
to have her life easy and comfortable.
On Thursday night he sat up with her
till about 1890 and then at his moth
er's request went to bed. He awoke
at 1880 and went out the east door to
feed the chickens. A barrel had been
sawed in half and used for the storing
of soft water. In the early morning
light, he saw his mother on her knees
by the half-barrel her head, arms and
shoulders under the water, and life gone
from the body. He picked her up and
carried her into the house, and aroused
his neighbors. The coroner was noti-
fed and held an inquest and found the
facts as stated above. The deceased
was born in Germany and had been a
resident of Green Castle since 1866 and
was much loved by those who knew her.

TOOK HIS JEWELRY
Rozen Received About $4,000 Insurance
But Still Owes About s1,1oo to Cred
itors for Merchandise, Hence the Dis
trict Courts Decree-Judsment for
s11o Held by oransky & shraibers.

Sioux City. June 11.-Under the
stern, unequivocal order of the dis
trict court j. Rozen, formerly pro-
prietor of a small clothing and notion
store in Fourth street, has been force
to give up his jewelry in satisfaction
of a Judgment held by Des Moines
jobbing house.
1 Rozen was brought into court under
an order in proceeding auxiliary to
an attachment to be examined as to
any property which he might have
which might be subject to the payment
of judgment for s110 held by Oransky
& Shraiberg, wholesale firm at the
capital.
Rozen was put on the witness stand,
and after an unsuccessful effort had
been made to learn the Whereabouts
| of any property or money owned by
him, Rozen was forthwith Invested Of
his watch, a ring and a diamond scarf
| pin. Rozens face turned red with en-
barrassment when the demand for his
jewelry was made. and it was with
great reluctance that he handed over
his personal adornments in compliance
with the request of Frank B. Robin
son. the attorney for the Des Moines
firm. Rozen made a simple appeal
that he be permitted to keep the dia-
mond scarf pin, explaining to the court
that his wife had presented him with
the pin two years ago. Rozen slowly
took his gold watch from his pocket.
looked al 1T longingly and then passed
1t over. He took off d neat set ring and
handed 1t over. He pulled and tugged
at another ring which the attorney hal
demanded and finally said he could not
get 1t off. The suggestion was made
that perhaps the sheriff could assist
him in separating himself from the
obstinate finger ornament. Rozen said
he would wet his finger after he got
home and he felt quite sure he could
get 1t off then. This was finally con-
scented TO. Altho he begged to be per-
mitted to keep his scarf pin, he was
required to hand it over with the other
jewelry.
Upon his request he was permitted
to take his watch back for a few days
under the order of the court that he
would return it to the court. The watch
and the ring which he said could not
be removed are to be delivered to the
court in a few days.
Rozens financial difficulties date back
to few months ago when he lost
a good portion of his stock of goods
by a fire. He received $4,000 in in
surance and disposed of the remainder
of his stock for $500. so it was claimed.
and he owes about $1,000 to creditors
for merchandise
