WHERE is HuNTf
Former Iowa City Man Missing From
Oklahoma and Investors are Wor-


ried.
Iowa City, Oct. 1.-THE sudden dis
appearance of John w. Hunt, former
~ an Iowa City boy, but now resident
of Oklahoma City, O. T., is causing sew
eral Iowa City business and profess
sional men considerable worry If
their present suspicious are confirmed
they have been swindled out of money
:rangings in amounts from $4,000 to
$4,000.
Hunt left Iowa City three years ago
and located in Oklahoma. He had Il
fine reputation here, being the son Of
well-to-do and well known parents. Ills
mother. Mrs. Anna Hunt, still resides
here and owns valuable property here
John Hunt is a graduate Of the Iowa
university law department and is about
81 years OF age.
Shortly after his graduation, Hunt
became associated in the legal bushes
here with John w. Slater, but the firm
was not successful and soon dissolved.
Hunt then married Miss Bessie Parker,
teacher of elocution in the State uni
versity, and removed to Oklahoma. He
was very successful there in the legal
business and conducted a land agency
on the side. His own money was so
successfully invested that some of the
residents of Iowa City, who knew him
sent him large sums Of money to in
vest for them. Among these were DR..
E. +. Clapp and D. +. Sawyer Both
of these men have been in Oklahoma
within the past two weeks looking for
Hunt, but neither has been able to find
any race of him. They report that
neither his wife nor his law partner
know anything Of his whereabouts.
The last seen of Hunt was about
three weeks ago when he visited for d
short time here in Iowa City. While
here he is known to have displayed life
insurance policies upon which thou
sands of dollars could have been real
led He went from here to Chicago
and that Is the last known Of him.
There is quantity of mail in Chicago
hotels for him, but he cannot be To-
Gated.
Friends of Hunt in Iowa City hesitate

three months there has never been the
slightest return Of the old trouble, and
that is the more remarkable because
for years before every storm or spei;
of dark weather had caused serious
and painful twinges. For this happy
result / and my family freely praised
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Within the bounds of China town
ship, ST Clair COUNT, Michigan, there
is no better known farmer than Mr..
Henri Schroeppel. His fine farm. with
it's pretty white residence ana attrac-
tive lawns and gardens. is admired by
scores of people who drive daily to and
the North road. Mr.. SchroeppeIs
birthplace is at the homestead where
King school stands, within a mile of
his present farm and the whole OF his
forty.two years have been spent on
these two farms. His cure has nat
urally therefore attracted great deal
of attention.
One Of Mr.. SchroeppePs neighbors,
Captain George Balfour, who during
the months of navigation has COM
mand Of one of the merchant steamers
running between Buffalo and Duluth,
after hearing Of the salutary results
in Mr.. Schroeppers case, decided to
try DIR. Williams Pink Pills for an
attack of rheumatism from which he
was himself suffering. He took eight
or ten boxes and now declares HIM
self free from this PAINFUL ailment. 1t
is little wonder that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are much in favor and in
evidence in almost every home in the
community where Mr.. Schroeppel ann
Captain Balfour are 50 well and fap-
orably known.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cure not
only rheumatism, but also all diseases
of the blood. such as anaemia, scrof-
ula. erysipelas. and diseases Of the
nerves, such as neralgia, sciatica and
paralysis. They are sold by all drug
gists.

Special to Times-Republican.
Council Bluffs, Oct. 7.-Frank Sher-
cliffe has refused fortune Of $4,000
not to testify against Tom Dennison
and all of the Establishments of H. q.
Mcmillan and the powerful influences
he represents can not keep him from
testifying If the written statements
secured by Attorney Thomas are true.
Elmer e. Thomas. of Omaha, at
torney for the Civic Federation, who
was instrumental in pushing the case
against Dennison, returned yesterday
from Logan. where he freed Sherclifr
from charge of robbery fourteen
years old.
"Shercliff has been offered every In
ducement to lie down and not appear
against Dennison," Thomas said. Il,
was his testimony which resulted In
Dennisons indictment for completely
in the diamond robbery at Logan, ana
he will be the chief witness when the
case comes to trial.
Strong influences have been at
work on Shercliff even before his re-
lease from the Fort Madison peniten-
tiary to force him to abandon his In
tention to appear against Dennison.
Some time before his term expired,
Fl. G. Mcmillan. United States attor-
ney for the northern district Of lows,
sent for Honor Morris. Sherciff's
brother.
Morris had made statement that
Mcmillan told him that Shercliffe could
be tried on an indictment for robbing
the Burlington station at Fairfield. Ia,
fourteen years ago, and that the case
would be pushed. and Shercliife sent up
again unless the latter consented to
drop out Of the Dennison case.
"Shercliffe declined and when releas-
ed the Indictment found against him
was resulrected after having been lost
some time. and he was arrested day be-
fore yesterday. Judge Thornell granted
Shercliffe writ Of habeas corpus on
the ground that the case should have
been brought to trial sooner. This dis
poses of the last charge of violating
avs which can be made against Sher-
,liffe.
I0SIOTc oHeTCIlIle TeledSS. IOHl
Dennison himself sent for Morris whom
he offered $500 If Morris would induce
5hercliffe to accept $4,000 to consent
not to testify against Dennison.
This offer was communicated to
Shercliff by Morris, and declined by
Shercliff. who stated that he hatea
Dennison so cordially that nothing blu.
death could prevent him from testify
ing.
"These statements have been made
in writing. substantiated by other re-
liable persons. Yelled threats agains,

MAY RAISE COCKELS.
Farmers May Allow Noxious Weeds to
Grow and the Seed May Fall on
Neighbours Land-Latter Is Not En-
titled to Relief, So Says the

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, Oct. IA man can raise all
the cookie burs on his farm he has a
mind to and no man can say nay. AT
least so the supreme court of Iowa has
decreed in case which was recently
tried on an appeal from the district
court of this county, Judge George w.
Dyer, of this city. being the district
Judge whose rule was affirmed. The
case was one brought by John Harm
don, we'll known Story county farm
er, against his neighbour, George Stultz,
asking an injunction against the lat
ter growing cookie burs and other nox-
ious weeds on his farm and allowing
the seed to blow across the line fence
onto his fields and seeding them.
Harndon is a farmer who allows no
weeds of such a character to thrive on
his farm Stultz has them and Harm
don alleged made no effort to rid his
place Of them. For this reason he
asked restraining order from the
court, but was denied such by Judge
Dyer In his petition he merely claim
ed that by reason Of the neglect of
Stultz in this matter his farm mad
been materially damaged and that 1t
would be reasonably worth $500 to RID
his farm of the weeds.
The supreme court sustains the lower
court in not granting the relief pleaded
for because no suit for damages had
been begun. but merely to cover the
cost of Kidding the farm of the weeds,
eventually. AS the matter now stands
Stultz may raise cookie burrs, milk
weeks, morning glories and other weeds
to his hearts content and his neighbor
can clean out his own land.
In his opinion Judge op says:
'"The proposition is unique to say the
least 1t is not suggested that the
growing by one upon his own land Of
cookie burrs and weeds is of legal
right, or that in law the field of defen-
dant constitutes nuisance. Counsel
does not cite any authority for the
granting of an injunction in case such
as plaintiff presents, and we know of
none"
