Fairfield, Aug. 1.-Friends Of JOS
eph w. Fulton, Jr., a prominent hard
ware merchant of this city, fear now
that he has either lost his reason, or
foul play has befallen him. He dis
appeared from here June 80, and no
trace of him has been discovered since
then. The missing man is a member
of the F'uton-Droz Hardware Com
pany and left the store during the
midst of the Saturday afternoon rush,
and bought a ticket to Burlington.
Since that he has not been seen and
all efforts to locate him are futile. He
had made no preparations for jour
ney, and had but little money with
him. His business and domestic rela-
tons were most pleasant 1t is sup
posed that for family or other reasons
he has gone to Des Moines, Chicago,
st. Louis, Minneapolis or Houston,
Texas
He is described as being "a years of
age. rather slender in build, light
brown hair. blue eyes, height five feet
eight inches. smooth shaver. He is of
quiet manner and slow of speech. For
some time prior to his disappearance
Mr. Fulton had worried much over
trivial matters, which gives grounds
for the belief that he may have lost
his reason.

former Mayor l.. A. Friedman. are
awaiting further developments of the
story circulated. to the effect that he
had sold "sated" Nevada mine to a

ago reports reached this city of
Friedmann's mining company having
made lucky strike. and If all reports
are true, it was upon these represen-

were at Dyersvile Thursday night
looking for friedman.

Special to lmes-Republican.
Iowa City, Aug. 1.-The county au-
thorities here have peculiar case with
which to deal, woman who appears
to have gone suddenly insane and
whose identity is mystery.
Who she is and where she came from
are questions upon which it seems
hard to throw any light. Saturday
night she arrived in the city and had
a hack take her to the home of AL.
Moore She knocked at the door say
ing she was relative and had import
ant family matters to attend to. With
this introduction she proceeded to
make herself at home.
Thought Herself Rich.
Her favorite hallucination, If halluci-
nation it be, was that she was very
wealthy. She claimed gold mines and
ranches in Colorado and seemed very
DESTROYS of transferring the property
to her supposed Iowa City relatives.
The next day she insisted on being
driven to a lawyers office so that pa
pers could be made out transferring
the property. Her whim was INDUCED
but at arriving at the attorneys office
she became indignant and refused to
transact any business.
She took measurements of the mem
bers of the family and planned for
each suits of black and gray.
When asked her name she said that
it had been Moore before she was
married and that that name would DO
we'll enough while she was here. She
said she had just come from Ireland,
but her English had in it the German
brogue. She said her two sons lived
in Cerlan a Colorado town. A tele-
gram was sent to the place she named
only to receive the reply that there
was no such town on the map.
Yesterday she left the Moore home
and took up her abode with the Fry
family in the same neighborhood. She
claimed relationship and offered to DO
much for them with her wealth.
Strangely she knew members of both
families, and as she was never seen
by either family before, this fact can
not be accounted for.

named Jensen. Numerous others came
in contact with the ruffian and were
more or less injured.
1t seems that the trouble began at
Stout Friday, at which time there was
a kind of a harvest jubilee at that
place. Among the spectators was a
band of horse traders, four in number,
all named Jensen. During the day
some difficulty arose between the horse
traders and some residents of Dixie and
in the mix-up Casper Lee, the dray-
man at Dixie, and Fred hubert, saT
loon keeper were roughly handled.
Saturday the Jensen gang put in an
appearance at Dixie. They threatened
to lick any man that dared to cross
their pathway and twas at this junct-
ure that Peter McCallahan came up
against the DULLES. One of the gang.

ward to do the rough house act He
gathered large jug and proceeded to
pummel McCallahan without mercy.
Those who attempted to interfere were
knocked right and left and the whole
town was placed at the mercy of the
mob AS soon as it was thought Peter
had been sufficient chastised the
gang jumped into a buggy which was
awaiting them and drove rapidly away.
In the meantime the city marshal was
getting busy. He quickly organized a
posse and it was not a great while be-
fore the whole gang of horse traders
were in limbo. Charges were preferred
against T. A. Jensen and he was bound
over to await the action Of the grand
jury The others were released
McCallahan was carried helpless
from the field and taken to physician
where his wounds were dressed and
this morning he was able to be taken
to his home. An umbrella mender al
so figured in the fracas but his diff
Guilty was diagnosed as simply plain
drunk.
C. w. T. Schmidt of this city wit
messed the whole transaction and he
declares it was the most bloody free
for-all conflict that he ever saw.

Storms on the Sun.

The velocity with which solar storms
move is very great, and they sometimes
extend over a space several times as
large as the whole of the earth's sur
face. In common parlance they are
called sun spots" but as they are
known to have rotary motion eX-
actly similar to terrestrial cyclones
they may be regarded as true solar
storms. 1t has been computed by EN-
inent astronomers that these sun
storms move with the astonishing We
loclty of 100 miles per second. and
we can best form an adequate concep
ton of what the force of such a storm
must be by comparing it 10 an earth
storm moving at 100 miles an hour
which is indeed n terrible hurricane
Darlington and Hodgson, the English
astronomers, described sun storm
which Travelled $4,000 miles in five min
utes, and In 1871 Professor Young of
Cincinnati witnessed one that Travelled
1G6 miles per second for forty-hye min
utes and constantly threw sheets of
flame and fiery matter to height Of
not less than 100000 miles above the
suns disturbed surface!
