Prosperous Hardin County Far
mer Played Into Hands of
Alleged Land Sharks
CASE or MISPLACED CONFIDENCE
What Makes s. S. Georges Heavy Loss
Harder to l,ear is That II Was caus-
ed by the Treachery of an Old chum
and Supposed Friend-Georse Files
Petition in Court.
Special to Times-Republican.

Eldora March 3.-S. S. George a pros
porous farmer living south of Iowa
Falls. appears to be the latest Hardlh
county victim to the wiles of the Dako-
to land sharks Mr.. George filed yester-
day a petition in the district court of
this county in which George Shoenhair
and A. c. Otterback, two Well known
real estate men of Iowa Falls, are made
defendants. Plaintiff asks for damages
in the sum of $4,000. The petition is
lengthy, and among other things states:
That plaintiff owned farm of 14O acres
in Hardin county, all we'll improved,
upon which there was q mortgage in
cumbrance of s4.4oO, all but $500 at 5
per cent interest. Shoenhair and plain
tiff had been chums for many years.
They and their families visited back
and forth, and Shoenhair appeared
very religious and stood high in church
circles and was a leader in church or
ganization in Iowa Fails. He was also
a merchant doing q large business IN
said city. In the latter part of Janu-
airy 1903, defendant offered to exchange
section of land In Grant county, South
Dakota at the agreed price of SIS per
acre for the 14O acre farm here at an
agreed price of SIS per acre. George
went with ShoeEhair to Dakota to see
the land, but found it unimproved and
deeply covered with snow. Defendant
secured one Gilchrist a former owner
of the Dakota land who testified 1t was
excellent land for farming, free from
gravel, and but few stones, and George
relying upon their representations
agreed to exchange and made out nee
lessary papers. After turning in the farm
here and the personal property he then
gave each of the defendants his note
for $4,000, at 6 per cent, secured by
mortgage on the Dakota land. Shoen-
hair in order to facilitate the trade
agreed to furnish the seed flax to sow
400 acres of the land and pay half the
expense of cropping same and divide
the proceeds equally with the plaintiff.
But it is alleged. after the papers were
made, he absolutely refused to do so.
George claims the land was covered
with niger head stones and gravel
and was entirely unfit for farming pur-
poses. He claims the defendants will
fully misrepresented ard misled him
and took advantage of his ignorance
OF the land and his confidence in their
friendship. That the land was not
worth more than ten dollars an acre.
and that plaintiff and his family We're
thrown out of a good farm where he
was doing we'll and now had no means
of support and in addition was under
obligation to pay the defendants So

taking. But the committee would
not spend any more money here than
present buildings in repair making
forward to removal to d better loca-
poor, and the committee would re
fuse to buy any farm land here.
The committee which visited the IN
dependence hospital was 'greatiT
pleased" and found nothing to crit

board of control would be to blame.
In short everything asked for IL

to pay therefor is to be considered.
The committee would not build a
piggery nor would 1t allow for an
operating room. This committee
criticised because the material used IN
the new buildings appeared to be not
always the best and suggested that the
state employ a building inspector to
see to 1t that the contracts are up
to the specifications, and especially Il
this condition prevails at all the other
institutions.
At the state school for the deaf at
Council Bluffs 1t was found the board
had done we'll considering the
fire and the school is in good con-
dition with the students all happy
and contented and earnest in their
work. II the present location is
retained large number of new build
ngs are needed The committee did
not undertake to settle the question
of relocation. but referred to the board
of control report as if in commenda-
ton.
In regard to the State Soldiers
Home at Marshalltown the committee
commended the management turnout.
The committee took dinner with the
residents of the "old peoples build
ing" and found the food excellent AMI
much better than in many hotels. A
quartermaster's building is mucn
needed. fire escapes on many build
ings. additions to a number, improve

kitchen room. etc. but not the pur-
chase OF more ground.

DYNAMITE SAVES A BRIDGE.
FREQ Use Of Explosives Puts Ice Gorge
Out Of Business.

Speclal to I1me6-Hepublcan.
Hudson, March 3.-The free use OF
dynamite on the ice on the Black Hawk
river has saved the approach to the
bridge and the bridge itself.
Owing to the remarkable thickness
of the ice-fourty-fou inches-the
thirty-foot approach to the bridge was
raised four and a half feet by the ris-
ing water, and it was necessary to
take heroic measures to save the struc-
ture.
After the explosive was applied men
went to work with saws and the ice
has been pretty well cleared from
around the bridge.
The Ice has not begun to move OF its
own accord, but the stream has been
raised considerably by the receiving of
waters from melting snow.
