A DECORATED TURTLE.
Huge Swapping Turtle Capture With
Strange Carvings on Its Back.


Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge. July 2S.---A huge snap
ping turtle with queer figures ana
hierloglyphics engraved on its shell
was found by n crowd of boys who
were fishing up the river Tuesday
afternoon. The turtle was found
buried in the sand at the edge of the
river and was pulled from his bed and
killed with stones. The shell of the
turtle was badly broken by the boys
before they noticed anything peculiar
about It, 1t Is described by them as
having been almost completely covered
with crudely drawn men and horses
which looked much like the pictures
made with which the Indians are in
the habit of ornamenting their tents,
canoes and other of their belongings.
The boys state that the carvings had
the appearance of having been made a
long time ago, as they seemed 70 De
more in the form of scars than real
cuts, and In some places had been al
most entirely defaced.
How the figures came on the shell
OF this particular turtle is something
which has not and probably never will
he explained. Whether they We're
scratched there at comparatively re-
cent date by some practical joker VINO
had 1t in his mind to start wonder
story. or whether the strange fisures
were engraved with infinite pains by
some Indqian brave half century ago
are things that cannot be said.

Special to Times Republican.
Ottumwa, July 2s.-That anyone may
avoid death by obeying the scriptural
commandments is the message brought
to Ottumwa by four evangelists calling
themselves 1sraelites of the House Of
Davis. These evangelist., two men
and two women. arrived in the city
Tuesday evening from Fairfield and
will remain for three or four days cam
wasting thru the city during the day in
the interests Of their belief and preach
ing on the streets In the e',ening.
The headquarters OF this new reliE
ious organization Is at Benton Harbor.
Mich. 1t Is called the House of David
and the leaders are known as Mary ard
Benjamin. The organiza ton was es
tablished May %, 1908, and according
organizers for their own u.e, this is the
second mbnth of the second year OF the
new creation.
There are about 500 converts scat
tered turnout the world Most Of
the converts were gained thru
tracts and thru the monthly paper
published by Mary and Benjamin called
"Shilohs Messenger o. Wisdom"
Since last spring evangelis'ts have been
sent out and there are now about thirty
busily engaged In scattering tracts, pa
pers and preaching their peculiar be-
lief
There will be 10000 people who
will not see DEATH" said one OF the
evangelists Monday morning. We
take these figures from 10th the old
and the new testaments. Those who 90
not see death are called lsraelltes
Death is the curse pronounced upon the
body after the fall of man and anyone
may avoid death by obeying the com
mandments."
The evangelists travel by wagon and
are campins, on the bluff on this side
of the Des AIoines river Just east OF the
city. Both the men and the women
wear long hair because they say that
it is commanded In the bible that the
hair shall not be cut. They dress after
the ordinary fashion.
1t is difficult TO get their exact he
liefs. for their answers tc all questions
are composed of biblical md scripturai
quotations Of more or less ambiguous
meaning and their conversation Is
made up almost entirely Of quotations
from the old and new tes.aments.
During the next few weeks all the
evangelists who are out will gradually
converge towards st. Lo,iis and before
the close Of the fair all Will meet IN
that city and make a grand evangeilatlc
crusade at the close of the big fair.
The evangelists preached on the
streets of Ottumwa Monday night and
the public, especially the ministers
of the city, were invited to come and
hear them.
