CORN THAT is CORN.
w. S. Nobles,s Residing near Geneva,
Makes Some Big Claims.

Special to Times Republican.
Geneva, Sept. 2S.-W. S. Mobiles, a
prominent farmer who resides in the
north edge Of town, lays claim to the
tallest and best corn IN this section.
He has a field of late corn, which 1t
will be almost impossible for him to
pick 1t ranges from IL to Is feet in
height. He recently exhibited several
stalks that were Is feet high, the ears
of which were 9A feet from the
ground. The ears of this corn are also
extremely long, some exceeding Is
inches in length. One ear had by act
ual count 16 rows or LOTS perfect kerr
nels on it.
The general crop of corn in this Vi
entity will be very good many having
the best crop in years, while others
on lower ground have only FAIR crop.
Much of the crop will be cribbed as 1t
lis so well ripened that it will keep FOR
an indefinite time. Many farmers who
have the bumper yield will feed ex-
tensively, and those on the low lands
will do much thing.

A SHOOTING ARRAY
I. E. Crippen, George Aldrich
and Arthur Wilson, of Ell

DIVORCE ACTION is INVOLVED
Suit Has Been Pending Between Mr..

Special to Times-Republiean.

opCCldl W
Eldora, Sept 2S.-For some time a
divorce suit has been pending in the
district court of Hardin county, be-
tween Mr.. and Mrs. w. HI. Aldrich.
Naturally some of the neighbors have
espoused different sides in the contro-
versy and some difficulty has been met
in having certain live stock, imple-
ments and other property cared for,
pending a sale by the sheriff. 1t APP
pears that part of the property was
left with Mr.. E. T. Crippen, a well-to-
do farmer living nine miles northwest
of here, in Jackcon township, for safe
keeping. George Aldrich, who is a
brother to one of the parties in the
divorce action, Tuesday went to look
at the property in company with Ar
thur Wilson Before leaving the Grip
pen farm some dispute arose between
the three men and some names were
called. Wilson at that, invited Grip
pen to go out in the public highway to
fight the matter out, and Crfppen
seems to have stepped into his house,
got his single barrel shot gun and
sent a couple of shots after Wilson and
Aldrich. Wilson came to Eldora Tues
day evening and DIR. Morse bandaged
up his wounds and removed the shot.
The load took effect in Wilson'S chin
principally, and also wounded him in
the arm and hand. Aldrich was struck
by some stray shot, but not injured.
Wilson then fired his revolver at Grip
pen just in order to return the COM
pliment, but the shots missed the
mark No arrests have been made.

MAKES GBAVE CHARGE

Treatment Of Insane Patients at In
dependence.

Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, Sept. 2S.-D. w. Howard
an inmate at independence for eighteen
wears. and who made his escape from
there last Monday night, was arrested
here and comrnitted to cell in the city
hall, where he was confined until the
arrival of an officer to take him back
to. the hospital.
Mr.. Howard came from Cresco, near
which place he has large farm, being
q man of considerable wealth and edu-
cation. He conversed intelligently up
on any subject, of course cont1nins
himself largely to his experiences
in the asylum, and one would hardly
suspect his Insanity. He says at one
time his breast bone was broken by an
attendant and he was chol1ed nearly to
death, being black in the face for want
Of breath. He also makes the serious
charge that an effort was made at one
time to poison him, but of course, little
credence is given to the stories OF
abuse, and ill-treatment emanat1ns
from escaped patients, as they are gen
orally anxious to secure help, and Of
tentimes will tell things that are not
true in order to excite sympathy on
the part of the public.
Mr.. Howard says he escaped with
another inmate who had secured the
keys to freedom, but said that he has
not seen the fellow with whom he plan
ned his getaway.
The patient. had large bundle Of
letters but no money and was very
anxious to secure funds with which to
pay his way to Cresco Among other
things he told of a proposal made by
one Of the patients to escape, steal
number of head of fat cattle, and drive
them to Waterloo, where They could be
marketed at the packing house. He
said he would not lend his aid to this
scheme, as he did not believe that 1t
was on the square.
