WEBSTER SCHOOL ROW
Proposal to Build High School
In Township Starts Strife
In the Neighborhood
CARRIED AT THE ELECTION
Farmers Living at a Distance From
the School Fought the Project Be.
FORE and Since the Election and Bad
Blood Has Been Stirred Up-Towns
Boycotted.

enecial to Times-Republican
Fort Dodge, June 1S-The proposeu
new high school building at kalo ana
Otho has been the means OF raising
ono of the worst rows that ever SHOW
ed IN in the county. The people VINO
wanted the school and the people VINO
voted against it are set against each
other i'm a fight, which has even
threatened bloodshed in some IN
stances it is alleged. The farmers IN
tho southern part of the township. who
form the minority party, claim that
while they have to pay the greater
mart needed for the building of the
school they get practically no benefits
in return. 1t is stated that these far
mers have boycotted the stores OF kalo
and Ohio and the feeling all around IS
intensely bitter on both sides.
The situation is this:
Last spring the matter of building
a central high school at a point cen
trally located between the towns OF
Ohio, Kalo and Craig's Hollow, for the
accommodation Of all the children OF
the township who cared to attend, was
brought UP at the annual school cleo
ton, and while bitterly fought by the
farmers of the surrounding territory
was carried by the vote of the near
by towns interested, and the building
was ordered put up.
The merchants Of the towns CT Ohio
and Kalo Immediately noticed drop
ping off of their trade as a result of
the election, and since then the farm
trade from the parties affected has
amounted to absolutely nothing. It is
stated that one farmer who bought
planks at one Of the lumber yards
to construct a hog trough was almost
involved in a fight because he had
patronized the merchant in question
to the extent of dollar or two.
Even the women of the neighbour
hood have taken up the quarrel and
the friends of lifetime are the Bit
terest kind of enemies. 1t is stated
that fights have in many cases been
narrowly averted, and in one or two
instances have actually occurred 1t
Is ALSO SldlCu, dIIllO llllS 10 pIOOs
ably an exaggeration, that threats
have been made by some parties to
lie in wait and shoot certain parties
on sight.
Representatives OF the minority
party have been in the city to SEQ
what may be done IN the matter of
annulling the election. Whether or
not the case will get into the courts,
remains to be seen, and the outcome
of the fight will be watched with the
greatest possible interest, as it is a
most peculiar one, yet such one as
might come up again at many other
places.
The DIRECTORS are the parties who
live a such distance from the pro-
posed school site that they claim that
it is impracticable for their children
to attend.

The count Of Buena Vista county is

Alta and Storm Lake, show an in

siderable. +** John H. Wegersley, who
is editor of the Advertiser at Alta, will
be recommended for postmaster by
Congressman Hubbard on the expira-
ton of the term of the present incum-
bent. There was no contest, hence
the case was closed by the congress-
men when the petition of Mr.. Wegers-
lev was presented.

GAVE BIG MORTGAGE
Mrs. Thea LangIand, Who Figured in
Sensational Divorce Case, Has No
Interest in the LangIand Estate and
Her Latest Move is Not Understood.

Special TO Times Republican.
Nevada, June 13.-It appears now
that the once famous Langland divorce
case is to get into the courts again.
Mrs Thea Langland. a Chicago woman
who married a wealthy Norwegian
farmer near Roland, a few years ago,
sued the husband for a divorce about
year ago, but the proceedings failed
and the bill was granted to the de-
PENDANT, the woman being left without
alimony The Langland estate was
wealthy one. Some months ago the
husband died and left no will, the es-
tate to be divided among the children
The latest move of the Woman is to
give a mortgage on the entire estate
to the Iowa Collection and Trust Com
pany of Des Moines, for $l5, 600. AS
she has no interest whatever in the es-
tate it is hard to understand just what
the. move means. The divorce case is
to be tried before the supreme court
for final settlement. 1t was one of the
most sensational cases ever tried IN the
courts of this county.
