Eldora, June 14.--Ex State Superin-
tendent r. c. Barrett, who recently de-
livered the commencement address be-
fore the graduating class of the Ell
dora schools, Is now preparing him
self looking toward the establishing
of a farmer boys law school. AS IS
generally known. Professor Barrett oc-
cupies the chair of political economy
in the state agricultural school at
Ames, and 1t is here he proposes to
put into operation this somewhat new
idea. This school would mean to the
Ames agricultural student what 4
course In Jurisprudence offers TO the
young man or woman in the law de-
partment Of college or university. 1t
would necessitate a knowledge OF the
law of trespass, the ditch or drainage
law. and somewhat Of an idea of the
common law of the state. Should Fro
lessor Barrett find sufficient en-
couragement to establish this new idea
in the Ames school, which now seems
more than probable, the Iowa school
would be the third of this kind In the

OF which Ernest Damon. of Eagle

while in an intoxicated condition wan

over his foot.
The man was discovered about 8
o'clock Sunday morning and Laufers-

was taken to the hospital. The injur-
ed foot has not yet been taken off,
altho it may be necessary to do so.
