export. for the estate have called upon
the old Diamond j. Line Company to
answer to the charges why their going
into receivership was not fraud. To
further their contentious the attorneys
have asked for several conveyances pc
titioning that they be set aside.
The movement of the estates attor-
neys caused much excitement and
speculation. The defendants have
now filed q. demurrer that the
district court of Scott county has no
right in the matter. The reason as
signed by the attorneys for this action
is that the Illinois court ordered the
transfers and conveyances made and
the defendants state the lower court
has not jurisdiction.
1t is said the proof of the existence
of the Diamond 10 Company has not
been proved and there was not oris
ginal notice given them. In these rea-
sons 1t is thought the lower court can
not recognize the assertions of the
plaintiff.

ocheyedan's Picked Up Nine lnsIor-

Special to Times Republican,.
Ocheyedan, May 20.-About a week
ago our ball team played game OF bail
against Little Rock and won by score
Of Is to Z, and some of the outsiders OF
the town thought they could play as
good ball as either team and made
wager that they could pick up nine
here in town that the first nine could
not beat to 1.
This game was pulled OH THURSDAY
afternoon and ended in score OF 80
to 0 in favor of the regular team.
There had been a good deal of ex-
citement arising and large crowd of
the fans witnessed the game, but the
Blue Jays proved to be invincible al
though the pick ups did very well, as
most of them had not played ball In
years and the Blue Jays played the best
game they have played this season.

Sibley, May 2o.-A few days since
| the report was circulated on our streets
| that Carrie Nation had arrived in town.
A strange woman left the Rock Island
| west bound passenger here that morn
! ing who attracted much attention by
) her queer antics. While she did not
| have hltchet in view, the story be-
came generally circulated for some rea-
son that she was the notable woman
| from Kansas of hatchct fame, and
| many believed such to be the case. Our
sheriff, Frank Stevens. considered the
| woman fit subject to be looked after.
| and took her in charge, and in some
manner got some inkling that her home
was in LaMars. This she strongly de-
isied, claiming that she had never be-
fore heard of that place. However, she
was taken there by the sheriff, where
her husband and daughter We're found
and identified her, and stated that she
had been missing for six weeks. She
had beer an occupant of the insane
hospital TN two previous occasions, and
in view Of her actions it was deemed
advisable to take her to Cherokee,
which was at once done. Her name
was foulpd to be Mrs. Louise Marie
son. but SHE had assumed all manner of
aliases. She had been at Estherville
and Spirit Lake. and at each of these
places the authorities had procured
tickets for her and sent her out of their
respective towns. AT these places, as
we'll as at Sibley, the woman wanted to
procure place to lecture against the
saloon. 1t was discovered that she was
the SAM. woman who was begging in
our town some weeks ago, claiming to
have lived near here at one time. She
also claimed that her husband had been
badly injured and the family were des-
tltute. These assertions are now found
to be ur true. altho at the time our cit
liens were influenced by her pitiful tale
and gave to her literally. Her visit
here at that time wss the means of
finding her relatives. The costs in the
matter will have to be borne by Ply
mouth county. she being resident of
that county. The Silbley people are
united in the belief that Mr.. Stevens
acted wisely in taking care Of the
woman instead Of sending her on as
had beeii done on previous occasions.

and Mr.. Sutton, armed with a 2x4
scantling, which he was using to
pound the dirt into the post holes

A novel arrangement for this part
of the country has been established
on the west side near the new dam
w. j. Peverill having had san
pump placed in position there, and IS
now testing it before opening up for
business. The pump is peculiar af-
fair. BY power it sucks sand from the
river bottom and carries 1t to land
where the water is allowed to run
off and then the finest kind of sand
is left. The pump has a great capacity
and will doubtless be a good invest
ment to Mr.. Peverill

A force of seven officers and men.
armed with shotguns and revolvers,
has been busy during the past few
weeks in an attempt to open up new.
piece of road recently granted by the
board OF supervisors of Marion coun-
ty as a portion of the state road lead
ing from Knoxville to Red Rock. Far
mers residing on the land which the
proposed road crosses have strenuously
resisted the attempts of the officers to
open passage, in one instance driv
ing away the county bridge gang
which was constructing bridge on the
disputed territory. 1t is said that
Charles Dauberspeck, who has been
one of the leaders in opposing the
new road, recently confronted a posse
of county officers with drawn re-
volver in his hand, but when he saw
that he was considerably outnumbered
he put his weapon into his pocket and
allowed his fence to be torn down.
without further demur. AS soon, how
ever, as the officers had departed he
replaced the fence across the right-of-
way.
