WISHED TO TAKE BODY FROM HAY.
The explanation would now be that
the trip was taken for the purpose oil
removing the body from the load OF
hay and placing it where it was found.
The fact that the man was not killed
where the corpse was discovered was
established during the trials by the
fact that there was no blood to he
found on the ground.
John Wellner, it will be remember
ed, was shot and murdered on the last
day OF the year, 1893. His BODY was

.Wellner,s hands. She said that she
and her husband had heard a noise

over to her fathers place and told

Rev. D. o. Bean Resitas.

At the annual meeting of the Con-
gregational church held last night the
resignation of Rev. D. o. Bean was
read by the clerk. The resignation
asks that he be retained as pastor of
the church for three months at least
and if possible for another year. The
church did not accept it with these
conditions but voted to have it take
place at once. Mr.. Bean is in many
ways an excellent pulpit orator and
has given his audiences some very
fine sermons, but a series of mis-
fortunes have followed his pastorate
here and many of the members of the
church have felt that it is to the best
interest of the church that new man
be called. What Mr.. Beams in
tentions are is not known but he has
several openings which he is consider
ing and in a new field will probably
meet with the success that has not
crowned his work here.
Officers elected for the coming year
are: treasurer, Alex Ottomeyer; Sun
day school perintendent, Herman
Held: trustee three years, Fl. T..
Beecher; deacon three years, "A. Rus
sell: deacon one year, a. II. Lienhard
The passing of the old year and the
birth of the new year was watched by
a large number of people in this city,
there being dances in all the halls and
watch meetings in several of the

Court Dates Fixed.

Judges II. NJ. Towner and Fl. X. Evans
have arranged the schedule Of time for
holding court in the various counties OF
the third judicial district for the years
1906 and 1907, which is published else
where in this issue. by the schedule
Decatur county will return to the
dates which prevailed prior to the
schedule adopted Two years ago, when
Decatur county was given three terms
of court in the fore part of the year and
only one term in the fall. Under the
new schedule in 1906 the dates for con
vening court will be Jan. 15, March 49,
Augu,t n and November II, and in 1907
Jan. Il, March %, August rs and No
vember IL. The principal objections to
the schedule by the Leon attorneys is
that i'll both years court is in session at
Leon during the dates of the state fair,
and this always interferes with the
plans of the attorneys and clients, but
The judges decided The old schedule was
preferable to the one which has been in
force during the past two years.

She was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.

respected residents of the neighbor-

Sether with her parents and host of

eight weeks before her death, Della was
taken sick with typhoid fever. At
times there was some hope of her get

OF danger, but there We're other com

Advent church at Woodland, of which
church She was a member. Rev. Joe

the funeral. The church was not large
enough to accommodate all the friends
present, which was one of the largest
assemhlages of people that ever attend
Ell funeral in this locality. lnterment
took place at the Woodland cemetery.
Many expressions of praise of the de-
ceased were heard on all sides from
those who were we'll acquainted with
her whole life as it had been lived in
their midst.
The family were the recipients of a
wide neighborhood sympathy, and not
the least to receive share of this kind
~ interest was the young man, Mr..
Morgan, of Dakota, to whom Della was
engaged and expected to marry this
fall.

Court House Needed.

The editor of the Lariat is FOR a new
court house, today, tomorrow, and from
then until it is an actuality. We are
for it because we believe there is cry

major part OF the taxpayers want it; be-
cause the present building is a standing
disgrace toa county peopled with an
unusually prosperous and intelligent

supply adequate ,tiice room, cut off the
rental of outside quarters, and prove a
money saving proposition in the long
run.
But, we are not going to rend our
clothes asunder in the vain effort to
make all others see the matter Just as
we do There are two sides to the

so arrogant in our opinion of the matter

The Lariat columns are open to you for

Some Court House Questions An
sWered.

THE REPORTER is in receipt of the
following letter from VIM. Woodard, of
Decatur City, and we will answer them
without taking up much space in argu-
ment, as they are all easily settled:
Decatur City, Iowa. Oct. 8, 1905.
EDITOR REPORTER: Will you through
your valuable paper answer the follow
ing questions:
1. Would the $4,000 in bonds be tax
able in the hands of the holder, accord
ing to law?
,. Are the proceedings in removing
the county seat from Decatur City to
Independence on record in Leon Row,
and where the commissioners loca ed it
by law?
3. Ii fraud existed in the removal
won't the Supreme Court declare by it's
decisio on that the county seat is still in
Decatur City?
4. Was not the present court house
built out OF the swamp land fund set
apart by the board OF supervisors to
build court house where the commiss-
toner's We're sent by law to locate the
county seat.
.. Would it not he a fair proposition
before the board of supervisors under
all the circumstances to submit the
question where the court house should
be built? This would settle the ques-
tion for all time to come.
WM. WooDARD.
We will answer the questions in the
same order they are propoundcd as
follows:
1. If the bonds were held by a resi-
dent of the state of Iowa they would be
taxable. Ii held by a resident of s9me
other state they would be subject TO
the tax laws of that state.
:. No records are in existence, ex-
cept the acts ot the legislature, having
all been destroyed when the old court
house was burned.
.. The county seat was permanently
located at Leon under the provisions of
the state Legislature, which in 1853
passed an act locating the permanent
county seatat some point within three
miles of the geographical center of the
county, to be decided at an election to
held ON the first Monday of April of
that year, and the result of the election
selerted Independence, and the legis-
lature following legally changed the
name from Independence to Leon.
There is no evidence in existence of any
fraud at the election, and the fact that
at the time there was no appeal taken
from the election returns would be
bar to any action in the matter at this
or any future time.
4. The present court house was built
partly from the swamp land fund, and
partly by contributions from the citi-
zens of Leon.
D. The board could not submit
proposition to change the location of
the county seat unless petition was
submitted to them signed by majority
of all the voters of the county asking
that it be done, and as such petition
has never been submitted and we do
not believe it could he obtained they
could not submit the question.
