LOT OWNERS ARE DeepLsss.
Millionaire Who Kept Accounts In
Head Leaves Queer Tanale.

Webster City. Ia.-Since the death
OF George Wells, the eccentric Iowa
millionaire, at his home in Grundy
Center II develops that many OF the
business houses at Wellsburg. the
thriving German town In Grundy
county named after the millionaire,
are built on lots for which the owners
have no deeds except that which
comes from verbal agreement and the
fact OF occupancy in peaceful posses
sion for a number Of years,
1t appears that Mr. Wells had-/a
great habit OF deferring action in
many of his deals. trades and trans.
actions, that he disposed OF lots, gave
the buyer possession and stated that
he would make deed some day. be-
ing too busy to attend to the trivial
work Of executing the deed.
Mr.. Wells carried his books in his
head so to speak. and many OF his old.
time friends took his word for many
things, expecting, OF course, TO receive
the deed in time, but realizing after
the old mans death that they had no
title to their property A number of
legal actions will be the outcome of
the matter.

WICCLERS IN
THE MILK

TACOMA, Aug. 16.-There Is
neither daiary inspection nor the
testing of milk in Pierce county
and citizens of Tacoma would
probably be alarmed If they could
see under a miscrocope the lactear
fluid they are imbibing.
Pictures of milk germs displayed
have caused citizens to begin to
look into the milk question again
and they are wondering what sort
of wiggling monsters are navigat-
ing in the glass from which they
drink.
I'VE cannot do anything" said
Health Officer Greene. The state
law Is weak and it does not pro-
vide for inspection of dairies at all.
There is no testing of milk in Ia
coma now and the milk dealers
may or may not water their prod
uct. We have no means of know
ing.

BOY |SBADLY
INJURED

Ernest Mayer, age IA, lies dan
gerously injured at the home of his
mother, 514 Hyde block, as the re-
suit Of a collision which occurred
about 10 o'clock this morning with
another boy on a bicycle in front
Of the Standard Ice & Fuel COM
pany's office at E401 Front avenue.
Both boys rounded the corner at
fast speed on their bicycles not
seeing each other in time to pre-
vent colliding. The head of the
strange boy struck the left cheek
bone of Ernest Mayer, crushing it
and closing the left eye.
Young Mayer fell to the street
in great agony. The patrol wagon
was called and took him to his
home. During the journey he be-
came unconscious at times. He
kept up until he had told the police
to take him to his mother and
then collapsed.

non was renominated for congress
in the Illinois state convention to-
day. His boom for the presidency
was started by his accepting the
nomination. His speech sounds
the keynote of the republican con-
gressional campaign.
Cannon thanked the convention
for the compliment and said no
man would refuse the nomination
of great party, but such nomina-
ton should not be had for the
seeking.
Speaker Cannon, amidst great
applause, reviewed the industrial
situation at length crediting the re.
publican party for prosperity in all
branches. Regarding the labor sit
uation he said in part:
According to the last census,

ployed in gainful occupations, and

some of my friends who are also

to go before the board of health

Then we all forgot about it en-

chemist, had been fred. Then I
thought Of the business again, but
on account Of being SO busy with

Brown then gave assurances
that he used no preservatives, mot

all he used in the hamburger was

discuss the matter at length.

obtained a divorce from him only
a few days ago, are contained in
a suit in Intervention filed this
morning In an action brought by A.
T. Dishman against Sorrill. The

through chattel mortgage on the
property of the Spokane Tile &
Mantel company, in which Mrs.
Sorrill has an interest under her
decree of divorce. She asks for a
receiver for the Spokane Tile &
Mantel company, for the annul-
ment and voiding of the chattel
mortgage, which she alleges was
made after family troubles arose
and for a general readjustment by
the court Of her rights in the tile
business.
