States Case Against Prisoner
Is Dismissed and He Is Sent
to independence
PHYSICAL WRECK FROM LIQUOR
County Attorney Northup Agrees to
Dismiss the Case Providing Mckown
10 Sentenced as Dipsomaniac =
Judge Rurnham Orders Him Confined
for Two Years.

C. w. McKown, indicted by the Oc-
tober grand jury on the charge of OBJ
tanning money by false pretenses, Will
not have to stand trial on that charge.
Instead he was sentenced Thursday by
Judge Burnham TO two years at hide
pendence on charge of !nebriacy, and
the states action has been dismissed.
This course was taken by County AZ
torney Northup. owing TO the mans
physical condition. and the fact that
the state had by no means a strong
case.
When McKown was brought to this
city. after his arrest several weeks ago
in st. Peter, Mimi, it was necessary to
send him to hospital for treatment.
He is almost q complete wreck as a
result of chronic alcoholism. From his
present condition it is thought that he
can not live any great length of time,
and it was his wish that charge of
inebriacy be filed against him. Roy
Moffett was the complaining witness.
McKown's crime was securing money
for advertising space in program for
q play to be given by the Retail Clerks
Protective Association. The play was
never given. and MeKown disappeared

ence with the prisoner this morning.

WHEELER WAS HONEST.
Waterloo Man Found Him Honorable
In Business Dealings.

The Waterloo Courier prints StoIs
| in connection with the escapade Oh
Rev. ]. A. Wheeler, who Is In Jail here
awaiting trial on charge of obtaining
money by false pretenses.
Wheeler is pronounced by the writer
of the article to have been honest in his
business dealings in that city during
the campaign of 1902, when he had OBJ
legations to meet. The Courier says:
THE item in yesterdays Courier un-
der a Marshalltown date concerning the
escapade of Rev A. j. Wheeler. whom
most temperance people in Iowa kno"
and who has always been held in the
highest esteem, was doubtless read
with much regret by his many friends
in Waterloo.
perhaps the writer has a more eN-
tended acquaintance with Rev. Wheeler
than any one in this city as last
year. while chairman of the Elghth
congressional district, several dates
We're arranged for him. he having at
that time Mr.. Brown with him, one
arguing for and the other against pro-
hibltion.
The writer also furnished all the
printed matter for Rev. Wheeler's
Itinerary, expressing ~ " ussAeHA.s>S>
points In advance of the debaters. The
trip was not financial success. and
after the printing was all done, Rev.
Wheeler found that he was unable to
settle the bill in cash, so he gave two
notes. one for $50 and another for VII
80, they coming due thirty days apart
These notes were considered as good
as cash and We're paid on the very day
they became due. This was simply
evidence that the man at that time
was honest even tho he was forced
to give note and thus have time for
payment.
Doubtless many here will remember
that Rev. Wheeler visited Waterloo
last spring and gave an illustrated lee
ture in the First Baptist church. going
from here to Jesup.
while 1t is true that past record .
not sufficient to prevent man from
falling into sin. it is equally true that
If man having the word Rev. at
tached to his name falls. the distance
seems almost unfathomable.
REV. Wheeler is an orator OF no
small ability, has always been consid-
cred solid on the temperance question,
and his friends greatly lament the en-
barrassment he has brought to the
cause"

John knights, welknown Greer
Mountain farmer, now want his life
Mr.. Knights, who lives on farm 81,
miles north of Green Mountain, il
Vienna township. after eating break
fast this morning, found pinned to hi:
doorstep a message of warning, III
which his life and more fires arr
threatened. The message. which wa.
worded by means of letters cut from
newspaper and pasted together SC
that there could be no clue from the
handwriting, was short and TO the
point. 1t read as follows:
Well put bullet thru your head
and there will be more bonflres.
No Clue Whatever.
There is no clue whatever that Will
lead Mr. knights or his friends to even
surmise who the miscreants are, now
seeking lne liIe VI tIicii SlSAiiii as "S''
as his property. Mr.. knights, while
not inclined to be afraid. Is naturally
worried, for he has already learned. by
experience, that he has enemies who
are determined upon his ruin. Only last
winter he suffered loss of $4,000 by
the burning of his large barn and all
Its contents. including considerable
livestock Twice before. in the past
few wears have his barns been burned.
and on one other occasion. In the same
an incendiary destroyed
a barn The people of Green Mountain
are equally concerned, for
they realize that with such people in
the vicinity, the property of no one
is safe.
What course Mr.. Knights will pursue
in an attempt to protect his property
has not been determined as yet. His
neighbors are all willing to help him.
and If necessary a guard will be estah-
lished to watch the property every
night. The people of the neighbor-
hood ara nothing short of up in arms
as the result of this last incident,
which is considered by many to be the
work of the same people who have been
in setting the fires OF the
last few years. AS far as Mr.. Knights
knows he can not single out any one
whom he would accuse of such an at
tempt on his life or property, and yet
he realizes, that the fact remains, that
he has enemies, and they are OF the
worst kind.
