Grinnell, Oct. 2i.-The mysterious
disappearance of Joseph Lawrence was
accounted for yesterday forenoon by
the accidental discovery of his lifeless
body hanging to the limb of tree in
a thicket Of willows on the old DeCamp
farm about mile and a half north of
this city. The body had evidently been
in the place where it was found for a
number of days, as the rope had cut
deeply into the flesh. The spot was
so secluded that people might have
passed very near it without making the
discovery. Al DeCamp and William
DeCamp walked north on the Iowa
Central road yesterday morning till
opposite the old DeCamp farm, where
they left the railroad and went east

the railroad and were in
position to look thru the trees against
the sky beyond they thought they saw
a man standing on the ground. Nearer
approach and investigation showed
that it was the body of young Law
renee hanging with the feet but u few
inches from the ground. The deed had
evidently been premeditated and care
fully planned, SO tina, no involuntary
movement should prevent it's accom-
plishment. The legs were crossed and
bound fast by a strap securely buck
led. The hands were tied together by
a string wound several times around
each wrist. 1t was apparent that he
sat upon a lower limb OF the tree In
making the last preparations and Slip
ped off for the tragic end Of life
whose burden he felt was too great
to be longer borne. 1t seems certain
he must have gone almost directly to
this spot after he was last seen cross
ing the campus and going north last
Monday noon. The coroner was noti-
fed as soon as possible after the dis
covery and he went out and viewed the
body and turned it over to the under

Fairfield, Oct. 24.-The sensational
report in yesterdays daily paper stat
ing that e. e. Lucas, who is visiting
the worlds fair in company With his
wife, had mysteriously disappeared
from his boarding place, and that the
police of that city had been appealed
to to assist in locating him, had it's
origin in the fact that when the train
reach Hannibal, Mrs Lucas occupied
berth in a sleeping car while her
husband was in another car. AT this
point the train had been cut In two,
and two sections made. The first sec
ton contained Mrs. Lucas, reaching
st. Louis while the second section did
not reach st. Louis until a number of
hours afterward.
When Mrs. Lucas reached st. Louis,
and not knowing that the train had
been divided she became alarmed at
the disappearance Of her husband and
appealed to the police to assist her in
locating him, which was done when
the second section arrived.

Acts Like Oxygen.

Liquozone is not made by COM
pounding drugs, nor is there any alco-
hol in it. It's virtues are derived sole
ly from gas-largely oxygen gas-by a
process requiring immense apparatus
and IA days time. This process has,
for more than 20 years, been the con-
slant subject of scientific AMI chemical
research.
The result is a liquid that does what
oxygen does. 1t is a nerve food and
blood food-the most helpful thing in
the world to you. It's effects are ex-
hilarating, vitalizing, purifying. Yet 1t
is an absolutely certain gernlicide. The
reason is that germs are vegetables;
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1904-10-24

and Liquozone-like an excess OF oxy-
GEMS deadly to vegetal matter.
Liquozone goes into the stomach,
into the bowels and into the blood,
to go wherever the blood goes. No
germ can escape it and none can re-
sist it. The results are inevitable, for
a germ disease must end when the
germs are killed. Then Liquozone,
acting as wonderful tonic. quickly
restores a condition of perfect health.
Diseases which have resisted medi-
cine for years yield at once to Liquo-
zone, and 1t cures diseases which medi-
cine never cures. Half the people you
meet-wherever you are-can tell you
OF cures that were made by it.

ed in capturing Seward Caster at his
home in Ira There are several charges
against Caster and there has been a
reward out for him for two or three
years, but officers have been unable to

sionally. Saturday evening Sheriff
Moberly was notified that he had been

Constable Gipson to meet Deputy Parr
at Ira. Capron it seems had been on
friendly terms with Caster and it was
thought best to take him along. They
knew that Caster was a bad man and
that he would be hard to capture. Ar
irving there Capron went to the door
and knocked. Casters daughter came
to the door. Capron asked if her
father was at home and she replied
that he was. He asked to see him and
the girl thinking that Capron was on
some friendly mission called him. How
ever Caster did not intend to be caught
mapping and when he came to the door
he carried a Winchester rifle in his
hand and wore belt full Of cartridges.
Capron reached out his hand to shake
hands with him and Caster changed his
rifle to his left hand in order to ex-
tend his right hand to Capron. AS he
did this Capron grabbed his gun and
Deputy Sheriff Parr and Constable
Gipson stepped out and covered him
with guns. Caster was taken to New

Primghar, Oct. 24.-The sensation
of the campaign In O'Brien county this
year was sprung by the democrats last
week, when they stole a march on the
republicans by nominating a candidate
for clerk of courts to fill a vacancy

cant about six months ago by Clerk e.

says that he can only serve until a
successor can be elected.
The republicans neglected to arrange
for the short term nomination, or two
months Of November and December,
and the democrats did. so that w. H.
Downing, young attorney. will draw
the fat salary for that length of time.
This county is republican by over 500
majority and the party leaders feel
greatly chagrined that democrat
should hold office even for two months.
