am, a well-to-do farmer Of Norwalk
and man who had no living relatives
in the United States, died early yes
terday at Norwalk at the age Of 60
years.
The life led by Easam has been a
peculiar one and his strange existence
upon his farm with no other human
being has been brought to notice. by
his death.
Easam was born in England sixty
three years ago and when a young
man came to America. He came to
Iowa and settled in Norwalk, where
he has been a resident for a number
Of years. He purchased a farm and
lived there like a hermit, for days at
a time seeing no one and shutting
himself up in his house, to emerge only
when it was necessary for him to pur-
chase food and clothing.
He had considerable property around
Norwalk and money in the bank. A Sis
ter lives in Canada and all his other
relatives live upon the old homestead
in England. Funeral services over the
remains were held this morning at
10 o'clock at his farm house near Nor
walk. and interment will take place in
the Norwalk cemetery.

unknown man was found in the North
western yards at Sterling, the head
severed from the trunk The body was
lying face downward, the head between
the rails and the body without. The
position of the body when discovered
gave rise to the idea that the man had
chosen that horrible method to COM
nit suicide, although others believe
that 1t was a case of accidental death.
The coroner's jury returned verdict
to the effect that "the deceased, whose
name is unknown, came to his death
by being run over by a Northwestern
train" giving the day and the hour.

been cut there some time. There are
no teeth in the upper jaw. The clothes

WILL TRY LIBEL SUIT.
Novel Case Involving Politicians il
Emmett County.

A
Baskerville, Aug, 29.-The Emtrlet
county district court convened yester-
day, August %, with one of the largess
court calendars In the history of this
county. There are 100 cases on the
docket and everything points toward a
long term. Perhaps one of the most
important cases to be tried is crlnl'-
nal libel action against II. M. Peterson,
formerly editor and part owner OF the
Armstrong Republican. II. M. Peter-
son embarked in the newspaper pusl-
ness in this county about one year ago
by purchasing half interest IN the
Armstrong Republican from b. T.
Robinson, William Stewart and j. "A
Finlayson, all residents of Armstrong
and owners of the Armstrong Repupn-
can.
Messrs. Robinson, Stewart and FIN
lawson retained the other half interest
in the paper, and all business relations
between Peterson and the other owners
of the paper, appeared to be OF a
friendly character until about the mid
die of last January, Mr.. Peterson COM
menced to run a very radical neWspa-
per. This was very distasteful to the
other owners of the paper, as they were
endeavoring to build up the Republic
can and wanted to run conservative
paper and they took Mr.. Peterson to
task for many of the radical articles
that he had written, especially about
the mayor of Armstrong. Immediately
after this and in the succeeding issue
of the Armstrong Republican, Mr.. E'et-
erson paid his respects in about as
strong terms as he could command.
The article was accordingly brought
to the attention of the grand jury and
an Indictment was the result.
The case has created considerable
comment throughout the state on &C
count of the prominence of the parties
alleged to have been libelled. Mr..
Robinson is the state representative
from the Grandchildren district;
William Stewart is vice president OF
the First National bank of Armstrong,
and ]. A. Finlayson was one of the
leading physicians and surgeons of this
county up until the time of his death
about three months ago.
The Armstrong Republican has, since
the publication OF the alleged libel ar
ticle, gone out of existence, and Mr..
Peterson is at the present time study
ing for the ministry.

SpGCldl 10 L
Sioux City, Aug. 29.-The PROPOSE
ton made by Senator Titus, author
Of the biennial election amendment, to
lengthen the term Of office for county
officials does not meet with favor
among the county officials here. Sen
ator Titus object is two-fold-to cut
down the size of the ballot and to pre-
vent the election of an entirely new
set of officers at each election. He
claims that with the new biennial cleo
ton law in force so many names will
appear on the ballot that it will be of
he thinks 1t a desirable thing to reduce
it's size. AS for making the terms of
office longer he believes this will Sc
cure greater efficiency of service to
free the officeholder from worrying
about his political tenure all the time
he is in office.
William Commit, who is serving his
third term as county clerk of courts,
does not view the proposal with
favor.
cit is good thing to have biennial
elections" he said. "It is a good thing
make an accounting every two years.
In my opinion their books ought to be
checked up every year. Take my own
office for example; perhaps it is not
known that have to handle a great
deal Of money. At times I have had
as much as 100000 in my care, money
that is held here In litigation. The
county auditor also handles consider
able money.
I'm these days Of graft think it Is
wise to make annual accountings Of
these officials. AS to the other ar
guments of the senator far a change
in the law, don't think they are of
sufficient consequence. His plan won't
cut down the size of the ballot to any
great extent, and as for the objection
to having complete change in Off
GERS, that rarely occurs. There gem
orally are some holdovers."
George Ellerd, member of the board
Of supervisors from Sioux City, does
not take to Senator Titus scheme any
more eagerly than Mr.. Commit does.
There is one good feature about
this two-year- term" he said. eff we
get a bad man in office we can turn
him out at the end of two years. 1t
would be rather bad to be saddled
with a poor officer for four years. On
the other hand, if we get a good man
in office it is easy enough to re-elect
him, as has been done in this county.
"As to the objection to having en-
tirely new sets of officers every two
years, that may hold with boards of
supervisors or city councils, where old
members are needed to acquaint the
new members with the business, but
I don't see how a sheriff, for instance,
is going to be of any help to a county
treasurer
