BEETOWN.
We are pleased to note hints in
the weather of spring. The soft
spell early in the week swelled
Grant river SO that teams could not
cross Tuesday and Wednesday
afternoons, and residents in the
neighborhood entertained a number
of travellers. John Klarman, the
Lancaster stage man, could not
get through, and put up for the

through when there's a show, but
in this case it was no use.

as much business as it did last year.

STRIKES THE MARSHAL.
Leon ShOwalter Strikes Marshal Bud
worth and Gets Six Months.

Leon Showalter is in Jail on a
six months sentence, having been
committed by Justice Shimmin
Wednesday morning, after pleading
guilty to charge of assault and
battery on the person of AL.
Budworth, the marshal of Lam
caster.
The trouble is the result OF
domestic infelicity. Showalte1
and his wife have been disagreeing
for some time, and recently she
has lived with her mother Mrs.
Duncan, at whose home the collision
occurred on Tuesday evening.
The wife had suit for divorce
filed in the calendar for the present
term of court, alleging, we are
told, entire failure to support, etc.
The husband is said to have disliked
the idea. He became intoxicated
on Tuesday, and it was that con-
dition which was partly responsible
for the trouble.
ShOwalter went to the store
where his wife was employed and
told her to quit work, using violent
threats. Under Sheriff Dyer
accompanied her home, when she
quit work for the evening. In a
little while Showalter showed up at
the house, and being denied adj
mittance to the back door smashed
it in, when he met Mr.. Budworth,
who had been summoned by
telephone a few minutes previously.
He struck Budworth a heavy blow
in the face, cutting it badly. From
the appearance of the wounds he
probably had brass knuckles OF
some other metal substance on his
fist. Budworth arrested him and
placed him in Jail.
At the trial ext morning
Showalter swore that he did not
know it was Budworth whom he
struck in the dark, thinking il
someone attempting to interfere
in the family quarrel.
District Atty. Brown represented
the state at the trial and made out
a bad case for the prisoner. Judge
Clementson had granted an in
functional order prohibiting
Showalter from interfering with
his wife. This order had been
violated. Mrs. Showalter was
afraid that her life was in danger,
if he were PERMITTED to be atliberty
when intoxicated. He had assaulted
and seriously injured an officer of
the law
Considering all these facts, and
others, Justice Shimmin sentenced
the prisoner to six months in Jail,
where he is now serving time

All who intend to teach during the
spring term, unless already quail

indicate that the number of teachers

hence no private examinations need
be expected. Work on first day

opinion still.

Saturday, driving down on the ice,
returning the same evening.
Frank Burgraff left on Monday
mornings train for Perham, Mimi,
from thence he stages it twenty
eight miles to Star Lake, where
his brother Herman resides. If
Frank thinks favorably Of the
country he intends to invest in
some lands.
Mrs. w. HI. Hunt of Dubuque,
Mrs. Ell. OFT of Preston, Mimi, and
Mrs. S. H. Hedges of Chicago have
been summoned to the bedside of
their invalid father, G. M. Jackson,
who is dangerously sick at this
writing.
Much apprehension is felt by
some of our residents owing to
the sudden change in the weather,
and if it should set in and give us a
hard rain, it might result in doing
considerable damage. The Gull
verts which traverse a portion Of
Main street, and which have been
constructed so as to carry off the
water, are frozen to the level,
forming solid mass Of ice. Should
a flood occur the water would be
forced through Main street,
endangering property and flooding
cellars.
Eli Preston stopped over for a
visit with friends Monday, while
enroute from Dubuque to Platte
vile. Mr.. Preston leaves for the
Pacific coast states Wednesday,
where he goes in the interest of a
Dubuque manufacturing concern.
W. R. Wise departed for Clinton,
Iowa, last Wednesday.
There are numerous applicants

In Justice Court.

Justice Shimmin was occupied
with three cases in his court
Wednesday.
Henry Behnke is good, straight
fellow, but he has a habit of get
ting too much agitation aboard
once in while, and when he does
he requires the care of the marshal.
Tuesday evening he got noisy and
broke a large window in Townley's
place. The judge imposed a fine
of so and costs.
Geo Partlow paid 50 and costs
for swearing too hard, loud and
long at Ed. Gilbert.
A civil action was brought by
C. N. Graham of Mt. Ida against
Paul Humphrey for an accounting
for few business transactions.
Mr.. Graham was i'll, and so the
case was postponed to May IL.
