THE FAIR AT MANSON.
An Excellent Display in All Of tho Do.
partments.

special to Times Republican.
Manson, Sept. s. - The Calhoun
County Farmers Fair began at this
place Tuesday. There is the finest dis
play of cattle, hogs and horses that ev-
er has been exhibited at any county
fair in northwest Iowa. 1t was deemed
that sufficient stalls were had for the
display of stock, but so much more
than was anticipated has been brought
in that all the available carpenters are
at work building additional accommo-
lations for stock. Floral hall is
place of beauty and wonder,
and will satisfy the most
aesthetic tastes along this line. Ma
cllinery hall is well filled and the agrl-
cultural display is almost beyond COM
prehension, as every variety of grain,
fruits and grasses are in abundance.
The school department must not be
overlooked, as an excellent display OF
drawing, mathematics and the kinder
garten is artistically shown. The ART,
and culinary departments are beauti-
full and delicious. The races are well
filled and fast time, both in trotting
and pacing is assured. This will be
run strictly by the farmers, will be
clean, no gambling or grab games to
extract the pennies from the many
boys. Mr.. c. G. Kaskey, the secretary,
is to be congratulated in the energy
and push he has exerted in bringing
the fair of Calhoun county to its pres
ent successful status.

Attorneys iIor The Prisoner Ask
Governor 'unlmins to Com
mute His sentence
TAKEN UNDER ADJUSTMENT
Executive Has Not Vet Indicated
What His Decision in the Case
Will Be Attorneys Representing
the People Protest Against Granting
of Lenlency.

Des Moines, Sept. 6.--,Attorneys fol-
Louis Busse presented his application
for Communication of death sentence tc
life Imprisonment, to Governor Cum
Minis yesterday morning and he took
the case under advisement.
Attorneys representing the people
the application. Petitions were pre-
scented supporting both sides. The at
torneys for Busse called the attention
of the chief executive to the court rec
ord to substantiate their claim that in
the trial court the jury was forced,
by the judges instructions, to find him
guilty either Of murder in the first de-
gree or manslaughter They insist
that no instruction defining murder
in the second degree was given the
jury. 1t IS also claimed by them that
Busse was under the Influence of IL
quor at the time the crime was COM
mitted and testimony on this point
ought not to have been excluded from
the jury.
Former Senator G. M. Craig pre-
scented petition signed by SO residents
of Butler county asking the governor
to commute the sentence of Busse. The
attorneys for the people presented a
petition signed by 1853 residents OF the
county asking the governor not to in
terfere with the judgment of the court.
Among the signers of the first petit
ton were the parents of the convict
and his children, who also wrote let
tiers. The sister of Buses first wife
also signed the petition for clemency.
On the petition asking that the gov
ernor do not interfere with the judg-
ment of the courts were the names of
the remainder of the family and rela-
tives OF the first wife Of the convicted
man. He was convicted Of numbering
his second wife.
The governor fixed next Monday to
hear the case of Joseph G. Smith of
Monroe county, who is under death
sentence for the murder of a woman.
His attorney has asked for chance
to present additional arguments.
Busse was represented at the near
ing by Railroad Commissioner e. A
Dawson. Former County Attorney c.
G. Bunting and j. H. Sales of Ackley
were present to represent those pro-
testing against clemency being shown
to Busse.

decision is of considerable importance.
The ruling came up on demurrer In
the case of Joseph Doubet against Mi.
Rigs. In this action the plaintiff, a
property owner seeils 10 restrain Mr..
Riggs who has decided upon schoo.
house location from reopenng the
hearing and establishing it elsewhere.
He claims to have made road improve
ments as a result Of the first decision.
Mr.. Riggs claims the court is without
authority and Judge Howe in ruling on
this phase said:
Since the conclusion of the argu-
ments before me in the case of Joseph
Doubet VS.. John f. Riggs, superintend-
ent, l have examined the elaborate
briefs presented by counsel.
"The question now to be determined
arises on the demurrer.
"The act of the defendant, Of which
complaint is made. is, in my Judgment,
judicial rather than ministerial in its
nature.
IF such act be judicial, and not
merely ministerial, then it necessarily
follows that this court has jurisdiction
to review the same.
"The question of the jurisdiction OF
the court being settled ] am clearly of
the opinion that the defendant had no
authority to reopen the case, under the
facts stated In the plaintiffs petition.
1T will therefore be ordered by the
court that the defendants demurrer
as amended, to plaintiffs petition as
amended, be overruled. and the defend
ant given an exception to such order
of the court"
