Farmers warn Hunters on.

CRESTON, Ia, May 1s.-(Special.)-
Nearly all the farmers around Alton and
Creston are now engaged in tacking up
signs at the entrance Of their farms noti-
flying all hunters and others not to tres
pass on their premises and threatening
them with prosecution in case they disre-
gard the notices. This action has become
necessary from the frequent loss of stock
by careless people with guns and the fire.
quent trespass Of parties with dogs who
have made the stock so wild that II is i'm
possible TO properly care for it, The
farmers say that they do not care so much
for the real hunters, but that the damage
has been done by boys and those who do
not realize that anybody but themselves
have any rights to be considered. In many
cases the parties have left gates open and
allowed stock to get into newly plowed
fields, causing much damage, and they
have decided that the only way TO avoid
the trouble is to keep all trespassers of
their grounds.

Strange Sudden Death.
The death of Frank L. Knox at Valley
Junction yesterday was a strange occur
renee, He was about 10 years old and at
tended school He was large and strong
boy and was never known to be i'll. Sun
day morning he complained OF not being
we'll and a doctor was sent for, but the
boy was dying and there was nothing to
indicate the cause of his death. He was a
son of N. S. Knox, bridge foreman for the
Rock Island railroad. No inquistion was
held, as it is supposed his death was due
to natural causes, probably the bursting
of a blood vessel
on for the Encampment.

Moines delegation to the state encamp-
ment Of the Grand Army Of the Republic
left for Cedar Rapids this evening. Others
will follow tomorrow Among those who
