We have heard so much of San
Sample; what a prominent character
he has been in the political environ

largely he will appear in its history
when it is written, that the idea ex.
panded to us that we would get or
our little black pony some evening
and ride down and spend the night
with him. 1t may be the worst for
us though. He may like us better
now than he would if we were thor
oughly acquainted.

Blessed is the man that hath a big

He quickeneth his steps, but will stop
short off, if he thinketh a man is
waiting for his advice. He standeth
on the street waiting for the crowd
to gather around him. He starteth
home, then looketh back to see how
many are eyeing him as he passeth
out of sight.

pIary Damases-supposed That De-
PENDANT Will File Appeal To SUI
preme Court As Devendorf Has Done
ecial to Times-Republican.

Special to Times-Republfcan.
Nevada, Sept. 14.-Mrs. Helen Matll-
er has again been successful in one
of her damage cases against Story
City druggists, which she brought a.
gainst two of them, charging them
with the sale of liquor to her husband
to the extent that he became hal)-
itual drunkard and lost his position.
and in the end failed to support her
self and children. AS will be remern-
bered she received a verdict Of $1,000
in her case against w. A. Devendorf
tried in this court last week, and at
an early hour this morning a jury
brought in verdict awarding her $2)u
actual and 1915 exemplary damages a
gainst j. E. Cagwin and Mrs. Dun
ming. composing the Story City Orig
Company, on the same charge and sl
legations.
The latter case was tried somewhat
differently than the first While Mr..
Devendort. acknowledged sales to t1e
woman's husband, he attempted to
prove that the man was not an hab-
itual drunkard and his family had not
suffered from his drinking the liquor
sold by him in legal manner. In
the Cagwln case, the defendant swcre
positively that he had never sold Ii Il
uor to the plaintiffs husband. Eight
witnesses testified to twenty sale to
him in their presence and request or
liquor with the name Of Martin Math-
er was found filed in the county auei-
tors office. The defendants lawyers
took the position that the date on the
request had been altered to bring it
within the time specified in the action.
After reading the verdict Judge Rich
ard took occasion to remark that there
was abundant evidence of perjury in
these cases and after examining the
record thoroughly, should he find the
case strong enough. it was his intea-
ton to bring the matter before the
grand jury. Mr.. Devendorf has lied
an appeal to the supreme court in his
case and it is supposed that Mr.. Gag
win will do the same.
Mr.. .Jevendorf has disposed of IFS
drug stock at Story City and has pur-
chased the stock in Webster City
formerly owned by B. F. Keltz, at pre-
sent a member of the state plarma "
board. Mr. Cagwin is preparing to ,o
into business at Ames and leave Sto "
City.

~. l.. Waltman, who lives a quarter
Of a mile east of Columbus Junction,
on the b. C. Fl. & N. railway, says that
between 2 and 8 o'clock this morning
his dogs set up a great howl and ran
! to the top of the hill near his house.
He rays he got out of bed and when
the dogs went to the top of the hill
again, he followed them. He says his
dogs do not bark unless there are
providers around, and he thinks the rob-
bels got off at the bridge, passed
thru his yard and on thru the Columbus
Junction fair grounds. Working on
this theory an investigation was made
and trace was found in the shape Of
two boards that had been torn off the
fair grounds fence during the night. He
says he knows the boards were on the
fence yesterday.
What may in some way prove to be
"a valuable clue was the finding of the
nc nf oct
Second street, Davenport, and that adj
dress on shipping tag or piece of
paper in the express car after the rob-
berry. 1t is possible this was the name
