little passage at arms" took place in
a camp of concrete workers employed
along tho Illinois Central road east of
this city 1t seems that the members
of the camp have not found the table
set up by the chef just to their Italian
tastes, and accordingly they registered
several kicks in the Dago dialect.
These seemed to have little effect on
the culinary performances of the chef,
and so Curtain took 1t upon himself
to state the attitude of the camp in
palmer Italian language. The dusky
steward took sudden exceptions to tho
criticism of his ability, and at once
started in to avail himself Of the hon

settling the whole matter according to
the code of honor laid down in Sunny
Italy AS a result. Curtain received Il
bullet wound In his leg and u cut in
his head.
The chef having appeased his anger
and indicated himself as a true son

getaway. In this he was successful
and by the time the other members of
the camp arrived at the camp Kitchen

Saturday night by which this famous
prisoner convicted in this city ten
days ago for burning the felt shoe fac
tory and destroying 100000 worth OF
property, was granted Il new trial. The
state will proceed With the embeazle-
ment case with the same vim and GER
tainty of conviction as tho the verdict
of guilty returned in the arson case
still stood.
There are still five weeks Of the
term of court now in progress In Fort
Dodge. 1t is likely that the MackoWn
case will be set for either the last
week or the week preceding. The state
believes 1t has u clear case. In the ar
son trial in this city the embezZlement
case was practically presented in full
for the purpose OF showing the motive
for burning the plant, II being held
that the factory was destroyed to pre-
vent the discovery of evidence of the
embezzlement. The defense made not
the slightest attempt to controvert this
evidence, satisfying itself with the
statement that 1t would meet this
charge when trial was had upon 1t.
The state brought Louis Birns ell the
way from New York to testify that he
cashed draft for MackoWn for $1,000,
which draft covered no purchase from
his company, The Musliner Felt Com
pany MaclsoWn had been given the
draft in payment of AN alleged invoice
from this company. 1t is difficult to
see what defense the man can have to

that as the question OF fact as to the

William c. Wheeler, well-known resi-
dents Of this, city. Thirty or more

the honored guests.
A dinner was served at noon, and

Of Mr.. and lIrs. Wheeler :
Old Resident Of Marshall County.
Mr.. Wheeler was an old resident of
Marshall county, having settled there
when Marshsllltown was Il mere vii
lage, and when the Northwestern call
road was not only the only road that
touched the town, but had its westorn
terminus there.
William Carpenter Wheeler was born
near Bowling Green, Clay county, IA
diana, January z. 1926. His wife Is
tive of Lawre nee county, Indiana, hav-
ing been born near Bedford on May
10, 1888.
Was Mothers Support as Child.
Mr.. Wheeler was thrown on his own
resources when child, and became his
mothers main support in this pioneer
country. While crossing a creek In
Maple Swamp, near Terre Haute, Ind,
Moses Wheeler, the head Of the fam
lily, broke thru the ice and was so
chilled by thu. cold waters that he died
soon after from the effects. Young
William managed to earn a living by
odd jobs as a boy, and when he
reached the age of 10 began to assume
the duties o. man. With an ak on
his shoulder he started out and went
to work in the forests. He struggled
against adve.'sities for eight years, and
by that time had earned enough to
buy small farm situated twelve miles
north of Cedar Rapids near small
town called Palo.
Good Wife Helps Him.
On November 4. 1852, Mr.. Wheeler
took as his bride Clementine Long,
who lived with her parents in a log
cabin four miles north of Marion. in
Linn county. The ceremony was per-
formed at the brides home by Rev.
Mr.. Jennings. With u good wife to
help him Mr. Wheeler began to pro-
gress faster. Mrs Wheeler used the
spinning wheel freely and to advan-
tage. and made all of the articles Of
clothing they wore excepting coats and
shoes.

Moves to Albion.


In the winter of 1856 Mr.. Wheeler
bought farm one-half mile south of
Albion from his father in-law, Zadocls
Long, for Sill per acre, and began the
construction OF farm house. Mr.. and
Mrs. Wheeler lived in Albion that win
ter, but as the spring drew near they
moved into their new farm house
which was then far from completion
More than once they awakened to find
snow drifting about the bed covers
and once Mr.. Wheeler was compelled
60 walk thru foot of snow to get to
the stove and build the kitchen fire.
These were the typical pioneer days
Q decided contrast to the style of be-
ginning housekeeping as known to the
present day generations.
Never Went in Debt.
Mr.. Wheeler has strictly adhered to
one principle that he formed early In
life, and that was never to go in debt
He attributes his success to it, and is
q firm advocate Of the 'pay for what
you get" theory. At any rate he has
something to show for his business
principles, and owns fine farm in
Minnesota, another one in Missouri,
besides other property.
Parents of Large Family.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wheeler became the
parents Of large family, twelve chill
dren having blessed their home. Six
OF them are now deac, all buried in
the Albion cemetery. The remaining
six are Marion F. Wheeler, of Enter
prise, Ore; Zadock L. Wheeler, of st.
Paul; Mrs. Rhoda Morrow, of Conrad;
Mrs Matte Grove, of st. Paul, and Mrs.
Jennie Hill and Mrs. Villa Thompson,
of Green Mountain. All of the chill
dren with the exception of the son and
Marion were present at the reunion
today.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wheeler have lived in
this city since 1900, coming from AL
gona, where they moved from Albion
in 1896. The couple lived on the old
home place near Albion for thirty
eight years, with the exception of a
period of about a year and a half in
1915, which was spent in Black
hawk county, Col, where Mr.. Wheeler
was engaged in the mining business.
In October, 1883, Mr.. Wheeler retired
from active life, and moved into AL
bion, where he remained until he
went to Algona eleven years ago.
Among those present today from a
distance, aside from the children, were
f. A. Hill and daughter Luella. Mr..
Roy Thompson and Mr.. George
Thomson, of Green Mountain; Mr..
and Mrs. A. F. Hill, of Albion, and
Mr. Daniel Long, of Wayerly.
