BUFFALO AND ELK IN IOWA
William c. Horner, of Geneva, Tolls of
an Interesting Incident Which oc-
Cured Near That PIace-With Help
of School Teacher, Live Elk Was
Captured.
Special to Tlmes-Republlcan


Geneva, March 5.--There appeared in
the columns of the T-R. some time ago
several sketches describing the cir
cumstances under which the last buff
falo were seen or killed in widely sep
arated parts OF the state, in answer
to questions raised from time to time
doubling the existence of the buffalo
and elk, which formerly roamed in
large numbers practically unmolested
found in large numbers in the peaty
formations of the springs In this neigh
borhood.
Nothing better illustrates the Won
derful transition of Iowa from the
: sparsely settled waste Of half cen
fury ago to the high place it now occu-
pies in an advanced civilization than
the episode about to be related In which
our fellow townsEan, William G. Hor
her, was one of the chief actors.
When IL boy, in the winter of 1857, he
helped capture, alive, the last bull elk
ever seen in u wild state in Franklin
county, under circumstances peculiar
ly typical of frontier life.
Mr. Horner, then a lad of IA years,
lived with his father, whose house was
situated on woody eminence, fanked
on two sides by Mayne's creek just
northwest of where the Geneva ceme-
terry Is now situated. AS there were
but few settlers in Franklin county
and no schools, MIR. Horner's father

and daughters, by a young graduate.
then recently arrived from Ohio, and
who shortly entered the army, and later
became prominent in Iowa politics, and
who is better remembered as Colonel
Reeves.
1t was on a cold morning in Febru-
airy OF the cold winter of 1867, that Mr..
Horner was trudging his way over the
snow that lay piled deep everywhere.
between his home and the Carball
house, and had almost reached his des-
tination when his attention was at
tracted by the loud baying of dogs to
a large elk, plunging madly thru the
snow coming straight for him. In
attempting to clear fence of the stake
and rider type the hunted animal be-
came entangled and fell exhausted,
with his tongue lolling from his mouth.
Mr.. Carbalk who was choring In the
barn yard. rushed up with a fork and
held back the hounds, while the school
teacher and his pupil, Sam Carball, tied
a rope around the antlers of the res
cued beast, which was half led and half
dragged into log barn. where ne
speedily recovered his strength and
natural viciousness.
The elk's untractable and vicious
DISPOSITION made him a very undesir-
able addition to the little herd of live
stock that Mr.. Carball then had around
him, and after a few weeks of captiv-
ity, he was slaughtered and his meat
distributed among the few settlers
round about.

HONEST MEN NEEDED
University Professor DepIores the Ton.
~ dency Towards Graft.


Iowa City. March 5.-"Society is too
GRAFTON OF the principle OF supply and
demand" said Professor Charles Bun
dy Wilson, professor of German In the
state university, in the second of a
series of strong moral lectures being
given by q number of the heads of de-
partments In the university. ".The ma
jority of the people," continued the pro-
fessor, ARE inclined to look at social.
If not moral questions from the COM
mercial point of view. They need the
balancing effect of letters.
1--WE do not need government control
of trusts and corporations, public own
ership of property, etc, as much as we
need honest, upright men in private en-
terprise, and public officers actuated
by some higher standard of conduct
than sordid gain and self-interest
Literature the Remedy.
Literary art is In a word an inspira-
tion--a human aspiration to give form
to divine inspiration. The morality Of
the literary artist consists in part in
this longing to embody these sweetest
and noblest of thoughts and emotions.
When this is so, how can the study of
literature fail to elevate?
Man is essentially an initiative
character; we all try to be and to do
what we admire. and it is our striving
to initiate this nobler life that helps to
make character.
"In moral teaching, example is more
fruitful than precept. The noble types
of manhood and womanhood as depict
ed in literature have reformed the lives
OF many discouraged mortals who had
never been able to believe in the dig
nifty and sanctity Of humanity"

WAS NOT CHAPMAN.
Body Found Floating in the Des
Moines Not That of the Emmets-

Des Moines. March 3.-Although
everything points to the belief that the
body of the young man taken from the
Des Moines river at Harvey Thursday
morning is that of George Baker of
| Indianola, and although his two BROTH
ers were expected hourly last night at
Harvey to examine the remains, the
men had not arrived up to late hour
and the Identification is consequently
incomplete.
The name George Baker, found on
the band of the shirt taken from the
body, and also on slip of paper in one
of the pockets of the clothing, estab-
fishes the identity of the man almost
beyond controversy, while the date of
his disappearance and that fact that
Baker once before attempted to COM
nit suicide, make it equally sure that
the body is that Of the man who jump
