pied the entire attention Of the district
court for more than week, and has
been the most stubbornly fought of any

Mrs. Haase was operated upon by the

huence of the anaesthetic she was
placed upon the cot and wheeled to the
elevator to be conveyed to another

which Is nicely balanced affair, was
started. AT any rate, it rolled off the
elevator platform, and Mrs. Haase fell
a distance of several feet. 1t Is claimed
that the accident was due to negligence
of her physicians and that as a result
Of the fall she is suffering from curva-

Waverly, March 22.-Waverly is to-

ing Of more than usual interest. Just
what the matter will amount to in the
end no one can foretell. Tuesday night
r. j. Offutt, the proprietor Of the west
side meat market, was initiated into
the mysteries of local lodge. Con-
trary to the usual custom, he took
three degrees at a single sitting, and
the lodge session lasted until midnight
So far as is known that was the last
anyone in Waverly saw Mr.. Offutt. His
wife, waiting at home, listened all night
for the familiar footsteps, but heard
them not.
AS to whether the excitement of the
initiatory exercises temporarily UNI
balanced Mr.. Offutt's mind so that he
wandered away, or whether he took
the midnight train on a premeditated
journey, Is only a matter of conjecture.
He conducted his business in person
and the market has been locked all
day. 1t is said that his wife is as much
in the dark as to his whereabouts as
the remainder of the community.
Mr. Offutt came here from Colorado
about four years ago. His wife was a
Waverly girl who had met and mar
ried him, in the west. He had been
engaged as a meat cutter ever since he
came to Waverly. About January
he installed shop Of his own. So far
as known he is man of model habits
and absolutely no cause can be assigned
for his sudden disappearance.

OF Dave Rogers, a hermit trapper of

found in his dugout, three miles from
Hudson by John Schott, a neighbor,
who lives on the farm of Peter Ander-
son. The body lay in a huddled up heap
on the floor of the poor shack. and
Coroner Huixenga found a 38-calibre
revolver lying under him, with three
chambers empty, while on bench at
his side lay loaded shotgun with both
hammers cooked.
behind and above the ear, looks like q
bullet hole, but the bullet is still In
the head of the dead man IL it was a
bullet which made the hole. No blood
stains could be seen on the floor. The
body was frozen stiff in part, and the
rats had eaten at his ears and fingers
Part OF his nose had been chewed
away by the rodents.
The aged man was very eccentric.
He built himself dugout in III. Hart
Eell's pasture year or more ago, and
has lived in it ever since. Old Dave, as
he was called, was peculiar also. Among
his personal effects was found bill
Of sale for lao head of cattle, which
he had sold to his brother. who lives

to have fear lest his life would be
attempted and he. has been living In
dread of some fearful event. Some
three years ago he drew large sum
of money from local bank and was
always supposed to have the money
secreted away. He dressed shabbily
but was peaceful and unmolesting. He
lived as he could get meat among the
Wild creatures along the creeks and the
sioux river, and seldom did any work
fors anyone. The sum of So cents was
found in his pockets and he owned
a horse and several dogs and guns.
There is no evidence of what became
OF his money
AZ the scar on the body does not
clearly indicate that he was shot, and
ii is in too peculiar place to be IN
fiicted possibly by his own hand, there
is some apprehension lest he was the
victim of foul play. 1t is feared that
theanystei.y connected with his death

BEATEN BY THUGS
Editor Newton, Of castana, Surprise.
Burglars in Act Of Robbins a Bank,
-Is Seized and Almost Beaten to
Death.

Castana, Ia, March 22.-An attempt
ed bank robbery at this place was
neatly frustrated, and as a result w.
G. Newton, editor of the Castana
Times. had an experience that he is
not likely to forget soon. The part he
took In the affair came very near cost
ing him his life. The fact that he is
alive and able to tell the story was no
fault of the robbers.
About 1925 p. M, Newton and his
wife left the Times office for home.
and as they were passing the corner
where the Castana Savings bank is To-
Gated he noticed suspicious looking
character about the bank building. He
took his wife home and then tried to
reach the banks president, w. T. Day,
by phone. Failing in this he 'phoned
to p. E. Wiley. cashier Of the bank.
Newton then proceeded to return to
the bank In an opposite direction from
that taken on his route home He APP
preached the bank from the east with
the telephone exchange building and
a large store between him and the
bank building, not expecting to en-
counter anyone.
Suddenly, at close range, shot rang
out. and turning, Newton saw a man
so close that he Immediately grappled
with him. While they were graphing
the burglar placed his gun close to
Newton's head and no doubt would have
instantly, killed him had he not lodged
just as the trigger was pulled. The
bullet just missed the top of his head,
but his hat, soft fedora, shows two
holes in the crown. The gun was so
close that his hat was burned by pow
der.
While Newton was thus in death
struggle with this man he heard an
other man running to assist the other
burglar. The two men soon pounded
and stamped Newton into unconscious
ness, and then left hurriedly without
leaving any trace of their Identity or
doing any further damage. Newton
bears very plain marks of the encoun-
ter. 1t is not known how many men
were in the attempt to blow up the
bank.
This recalls the robbery which oc-
CURED at Turin, the first town west OF
Castana, where the Castana Savings
hank has branch bank that was
