Kills His Neiqhbor,

Leon, Ia, Jan. 9.-John Hayden of
Woodland township, n well-to-do farm
4r, shot and killed w. T.. Bracewell, a
wealthy and highly respected neigh
Dor.
The controversy originated at n quar-
eel over some cattle belonging to
8raCewell, which had trespassed on
Hayden's premises, and had been shut
10 by the latter. When BraCewell went
after the stock, Hayden refused to turn
them over.
With the remark that "he would see
about that" Bracewell dismounted
from his horse and started toward
Hayden. Hayden then drew a revolver
md shot BraCeweil twice, both bullets
taking effect in the abdomen.
Hayden has been a resident of De-
catur county for several years. 1t is
currently reported that before coming
here he served a term In the Nebraska
tate penitentiary for murder. Mr..

among the most progressive and re-
Bpected farmers Of the county. Both

ACTUAL DAMAGES.
Architect Says the Loss Is Not More
Than S125,OC0.

Des Moines, Ia, Jan. IN. l.. Bell,
the architect who built the Iowa state
capitol and who for several past has
been supervising architect for the
treasury department and is now an
architect in Chicago, went over the
capitol building. Mr.. Bell is an au-
thority on fire proof construction, went
carefully Over the burned section Of the
building, and after having done so,
made IN estimate of the damage done.
His estimate will be of the greater in
terest because of his familiarity with
the manner of construction involved in
the building of the state house. Mr..
Bell estimates that to replace the cap
itol in it's original shape and condition
would not cost more than 1925, 900. To
make it absolutely fire proof, so far as
modern methods will make a building
fire proof, he thinks would not cost
more than $150,000. The members Of
the capitol commission were told of
Mr.. Bells estimate, and were greatly
pleased with it. The members of the
commission have held all along hat the
damage was not so great az was or
iginally believed.

How He Exemplified It in the PreseEe
of the Queen of Sheba.

TOW TIC GNSIHHilb3CN IL III ~
of the Queen of Sheba.
> New Orleans Times Democrat: Here is
the legend of the visit Of the Queen OF
Sheba TO King Solomon" said the Pas
cagoula Diogenes in the rotunda of the
Great Southern Hotel Gulfport Sunday.
THE queen reiGncd over a people that
lived on the border of the Red sea who
we're the richest in Arabia. They were
represented leading an idle life, owing 10
the abundance of natural produce Of their
country, which afforded the ~sustenance of
life and also trankinccnse, myrrh, CHINA
mon and balsam that ave them an extern
sive IN with other nations.
THE queen, owing TO the splendid repu-
tation Of King Solomon, whose power and
wisdom had spread to the remotest parts
y" the world, visited him at his own court.
Presenting herself at the foot OF his
throne, in each of her hands she held Il
wreath of nowers-one composed Of nat
ural. the other of artificial. Art in the
labor Of the mimic wreath had exqusftely
emulated the lively hues Of nature, so
that a the distance it was held by the
queen to exercise the sagacity of the
monarch for his judgment it was deemed
impossible for him to decide which wreath
was the production Of nature and which
tho work of art. Solomon was for a mo-
nent perpleXed, yet to be vanquished by
a woman irritated his pride.
"A expedient presented itself to the
king by a swarm of bees on the outside
of a window which he ordered opened.
The bees rushed in the court and alighted
on one of the wreaths, while not a single
one fixed on the other, Sheba was bafled
and was convinced Of the wisdom Of Solo
mon. Such is the story handed down that
the bee only rests on the natural beauties
and never fixes on the painted flowers.
however inimitable the color may be laid
