a MAYORS MISTAKE.

If the mayor of Fort Dodge has been
correctly reported he is making a
serious mistake in continuing in the
office Of police chief a man under
bond to appear and defend himself
against a charge Of murder.
At the Manson fair some days ago,
Tullar, the police chief referred to, be-
came engaged in brawl on the race
named Dugan interferred, according to
witnesses with the intent to pacify the
combatants. His interference ended in
a fight between himself and Tullar, in
which the farmer was thrown and
brutally mauled as he lay on the
ground. The beaten man rose from the
ground walked a short distance and
sank down and died. A post mortem
showed no fatal injury as the direct
result of the blows he had taken, but
that a blood clot dislodged in the
stress and excitement of the fight was
probably the approximate cause of
death. Tullar was Immediately ar
rested charged with murder and held
to the grand jury in bonds of $4,000.
Mayor Bennett Of Fort Dodge is quoted
in the newspapers as of the opinion
that no reason exists why Tullar
should not continue in office, pending
his trial. IT am Of the opinion" Mayor
Bennett is alleged to have said, that
Chief Tullar was entirely in the right.
feel sure that the story told by him
and Officer Richmond, of Manson, was
the correct one and that he was forced
to fight. I feel sure also that the man
died of heart disease and Tullar was in
no way responsible. I know also that
he never drank This was not the
case, 1 understand, with Dugan."
Most people will disagree with the
MAYOR and refuse to believe that a man
under bond for capital crime should
be permitted to remain in command OF
the police force. From the evidence
in the preliminary investigation as
printed in the local newspapers, IL
would not appear that the defendant
had any intent or reconciliation OF
murder. 1t Is not likely that he will
be so convicted. However, it is not
for the mayor of Fort Dodge or the
newspapers to pass upon his guilt or
innocence. He has been bound to the
grand jury and a decent respect for
law and order should suggest his re-
tirement from the position of peace
officer not only to the mayor, but to
Tullar himself.
Aside from the unfortunate ending
of the brutal fist fight and its con-
sequences one way or another it will
suggest itself to a great many decent
people that men who lack the self
restraint to keep themselves out OF
such brawls are unfit for police chief

reform necessary along those lines.
The elimination of those who de-
bauched the electorate in the various
counties by the righteous sentiment
for fair play and common honesty will
go far to cleanse the political pool of
its present murky condition. And a
primary law is long step in that di-
rection. but scoundrels can still en-
gage themselves in nefarious prac-
tees. tho the fear Of strong pen

more than half a dozen farms were al.

were laid in waste and peaches, pears
and other growing fruits were beaten
from the trees. The wheat was ruined
in some places in the path of the
storm and badly injured in others,
AL windows in dozens of houses were
smashed and half grown chickens were
killed by the hailctones.
The storm was the most severe that

ODD METHOD OF GRATING.
Curious Effects in Woods Obtained
by Indians CT Southern

Some owners of forests of valuable
woods are trying experiments in the
southern part of Mexico with the wal
nut trees. 1t is not generally known

side the trade that there are many
kinds Of walnut woods and that onl,
part of them have so far been consid
cred valuable from a commercial point
of view. Now the scheme is to make
these less valuable or worthless o-a,
nuts commercially valuable. And Oh.
process is a curious one,
1t consists of opening the roots o.
the of the trees and inserting one OF
more nuts. which are quite small
from the best varieties of walnut trees
1t is said that these nuts, which arr
carefully sealed in with wax or a stiff
waterproof stopper. impart a new Oh
closer grain and coloring to the tree.
The southern Indians of Mexico
have for centuries been in the habir
of securing curious effects in c~olorinl
on fine woods by inserting in the
above manner nuts of other trees into
the roots of the living trees. An en-
terprising planter in Tabasco has beer

%couraging results.
