About The County.


50 wagon loads of hogs had been
marketed and these teams when tied
occupied nearly all the hitching
places on both sides of the main
streets. 1t was quite sight and
everybody noticed it. However by
10 O'Clock nearly all had pulled for
home. -Schleswig.
The town council met in special
session Friday night for the purpose
of considering the sale to the gas plant
company of one-half of the lot where
the engine house stands in Holstein
addition. An option was given on
the half-lot to the company with the
privilege of buying same for $50.
Monday the engine house was moved
from the center to the east side of
the lot. This leaves ample room on
the west half of the lot for the con-
struc tion of the gas plant building,
and material is now on the ground
for same. -Schleswlg Leader.

Carl Hamann closed the deal yester-
day by which the title TO his fine
farm east of town passes to the
Pautsch brothers. Mr.. Hamann got
a good price for his land, but not so
much that the purchasers have not
made good bargain. 1t is one
of the hundred dollar farms, though
that was not the price named in the
deed. We congratulate the Pautsch
boys. Charter Oak Times.
VIM. Peters, living north of town,
has the proof that his hogs cannot be
beaten for Roosveltism. There is no
race suicide there, for three of his
sows this year gave birth to IA pigs
and raised everyone of them. They
are not any special blood but just
hogs, and one of them blind at that.

Dow City Enterprise.
City Marshal w. V. Butler had an
experience last Friday night which
he is not anxious to have again.
About twelve O'Clock he saw two
suspicious characters whom he start
ed to follow and when getting near
the railroad he called to them to
halt, but instead of stopping one of
them fired shot at him which came
SO near that he heard it as it passed
his head, but they continued to run,
whereupon he fired five shots at them
but by this time they had got behind
the Northwestern depot and from
there made good their escape. He
does not think any of the shots hi
the fleeing parties. They were prob
ably desperadoes who might have
blown open some safe or robbed some
store if we had not had marshall
who is always on duty. Dow City
Enterprise.
The recent damage to the crops by
hail has caused many farmers to in.
vestigate what mutual steps could
be taken for aiding the unfortunate
ones. The experience by many il
the past with the hail insurance com.
panies have been unsatisfactory, all
though there are few of these con-
Germs that are all right. We would
| suggest county mutual insurance
company for the reimbursement of
crops destroyed by hail and wind.
In the recent loss of crops, the
amount distributed among the body
Of farmers in the county would be
very small, but would be quite ar
