ried several years ago, but they did not
seem to drive tandem very we'll, the
climax came several months ago when
Mrs. keeler started after her recreant
husband with gun, and poured some
moulten metal al him from the muZzle
of a smoking revolver.
This was more than Keeler could
stand and he applied for a divorce. A
decree was granted September 10, OF
last year, and the husband thought at
the time that he had revenge.
After living alone for some time how
ever. he decided that the joys Of a
single man were less numerous than
he had imagined. and in the course OF
time learned that the former wife
thought the same way. Accordingly
they decided to pull the load of life to-
gether again, and the marriage Mon
day was the result.
One of the peculiar parts of the case
is that Justice Louis RoddeWig. twho
married the couple. drew UP the petit
ton for divorce. Mr.. Roddewig was
working in the office of Mfr. Chamber
lain at that time, and the attorney had
the case. which was the reason that the
Justice was instrumental in separating
them and afterwards tied the knot that
he aided to unite.

Davenport, July IA. H. Greerwell,
of Davenport, who was to be taken to
Des Mones today for a hearing before
Extradition Commissioner Macarthur
on the charge OF the murder of j. L..
Stanford, has fallen i'll inder the strain
brought to bear upon him. Confine-
ment and worry have told hard upon
him. He is not fast to his bed but is
far from well. 1t is now sixty days
since he was arrested and placed in
constant fear of being torn away from
his country and taken back to Mex
leo to be held in a Mexican prison per-
haps for years before trial would be
given. The days have been long and
the nights torturing.
He has vivid recollection of three
days and nights spent in a Mexican
JAIL preceding his hearing and acauit-
al for this same alleged crime, and a
man who has ever been in the hands
of the so-called Mexican law s not
likely to forget 1t. or to sleep mucn
where there is any chance that he may
be returned to that experience.
Greenwich is a poor man. He has
practically nothing. He was living, with
his wife, in rented house when he
was arrested. Since then his wife has
visited him in Jail at Davenport on
every day she has been permitted to
do so--twice q week-and has made
a brave and single handed fight against
hard fate For a time she kept board
ers till they left her with the closing
OF west end shop. Since then she
has been at the end of her financial
rope. Money has been handed TO her,
and, whatever her pride may have

A JUNK MAN "WoRKED."
Paid $4.25 for More Than Thousand
Dollars Worth Of Iron.

Dollars Worth OF Iron.
Iowa City. July 14.-There were
things doing in the old iron business
last week. One of the travelling col
lectors of this class OF merchandise
made a contract with n local light
for all of the pipes and heating appar-
atus in the old Palace hotel and more
recently known as the Hobby Sanitar-
iun. This was big purchase for one
day. The price paid was just $4.2a.
This does not represent the real value
of the material at fair selling price
for old iron; but then there are cir
cumstances that alter cases.
The long bearded junk man was
approached by one of the former ceie-
brites on the docket of the police
court, with very plausible PROPOSE
the Clinton street property and that he
wished to dispose of the iron before he
tore down the building. The two men
proceeded to look over the property.
The man who had the EYE for junk"
said that he thought that the old iron
would be worth any way 81 after it
was moved from the building. This
did not suit the self appointed owner
of the building. He wanted more. A
final settlement was made for $4.25.
The next day the junk man and
helper went to work TO extract the old
metal from it's fastenings on the walls
of the discarded building. All went
well: the work was not so hard as he
had anticipated. Many thoughts came
10 him of the profit he would make,
Just think OF the money; thousand
per cent on the investment" This
was one of the many expressions of
satisfaction that We're made by the son
of the Ghetto. But alas, they were
all too good to be true. The real
owner of the property happened by and
stopped the whole proceeding.
The junk man is out S4.25 and about
two hours of his labor. The owner o..
the building could not find out the
name of the culprit who sold the junk
but an effort is being made to locate
him. He will be punished to the full
extent of the law.
The junk man is wondering If it was
all q Joke.

Two Farmers Claim Ownership and
Litigation Will Follow.
Special to Times Republican.
Humboldt, July 14.-Because an in
nocent little pig happened to get into
the Des Moines river at this point.
which is very high at present, con-
siderable anxiety and legal disputes
may result.
The pig story" is as follows: A short
distance below Main street at the foot
of Johnsons hill, Harve Clark. a bus
mess man Of this city, spied Il nice
porker floating down stream near the
point of drowning. Summoning George
Burns to his assistance they started in
haste to save the pig, which, If no
owner was found, would bring them in
a good sum.
After exerting themselves for some
time they managed to land the pig, but
shortly after, Will johnson, a prom-
nent farmer, of this county. residing a
short distance away. appeared on the
scene and claimed the porker. Clark
and Burns would not give the pig up
until suitable evidence of ownership
was given. Sheriff Hackley was then
called and made out claim of owner
ship for Johnson. who then took pos
session The next man to appear was
Dan Craig, a farmer living a few miles
IN the river. He also claimed the pig
and became abusive regarding john
son. He said that he had lost the pig
about two weeks ago. Mr.. johnson will
now sue Craig for Islander. The
amount will probably be about $4,000.
II is generally believed that Mr.. John
son has the best of the case, and he
will probably be able to show his regis
tered trade mark on the pig. Inc re-
suit is looked forward to with consid-
cradle interest.
