John Dickerhotf, who was convicted in
the Polk county criminal court and SEN
fenced to six years in the penitentiary
for procuring and the attempt to ruin
the Tolman sisters in his house of ill
fame, was released from the peniten-
tiary Thursday on an appeal bond Of
$4,000 and is now at liberty, pending the
action of the supreme court. AS will be
remembered an appeal was made for a
rehearing after his conviction June 9Th,
on the grounds that Judge McHenry
permitted the introduction of the testi-
mony of Mrs. Dickerhoff pointing toward
a conspiracy in which John Dickerhoff
was implicated. Dickerhoff was,s at the
time of the appeal, unable to furnish the
required bond, hence was taken to
prison. 1t is not known what the action
OF the supreme court will be in the mat
ter, but it is hoped by the people of this
community that Dickerhoff will be I'M
successful in the attempt for rehear-
ing, and that he will be compelled to
serve out the entire extent of the six
years sentence.-Lamoni Chronicle.

the right to pack this tobacco loose
in boxes or hogsheads in the natural
leaf, without prizing it. and carry
the same TO a neighbo.ing State or
some other State and sell it in one
hundred pound lots or less at retail
TO customers.
He was informed that il the to-
bacco was of his own growth and
raising. or If he owned the land on
which il was raised or came into
ownership of il in payment of rent
from his tenants, he was privileged
under the law To sell and deliver IL
himself without restriction. in any
Safe, in any quantity and without
payment OF tax, provided the tobacco
remains in it's natural condition as
cured upon the farm until sold.
He was further advised that the
persons who purchase this tobacco
from him would be responsible for
its proper disposition; that if they
consumed il ro tax would be re-
quired TO be paid, but ifthey should
resell il they would be required to
qualify either as dealer in leaf to-
