FORGERY NOW CHARGED.

in Trouble.

Sioux City, Dec enlarged with
having secured money on two worth
less checks, John Cleghorn, until re-
Gently a prominent stockman of Chero-
kee, Iowa, was arrested yesterday on
the charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses. Last April Cleghorn
and Mrs. Irene Griggs, also of Chero-
kee, were arrested at 306 Perry street
and taken to Cherokee county, where
they were charged with adultery.
The checks alleged to have been
passed by Cleghorn were drawn for
s22 and IS on the First National bank
of Marshall, Mimi, and were cashed
by Ona Edwards, keeper Of resort at
301 Pearl street, and Mrs. F. Won
drak, proprietor of a restaurant at
3O8 Douglas street. At the police sta
ton Cleghorn said he had lately been
buying cattle at Marshall, and that he
carried an account in the First Ma
tional bank of that place. He said
that he was under the impression that
he had at least 5000 to his credit in
the institution when he issued the
checks. He sent shortly after his ar
rest for money with which to make
good the alleged defalcations.
Last spring he was arrested on
complaint Of John Griggs, husband
Of the woman who was living with
him. She was known during her few
weeks residence here as Miss Christy.
The pair at that time had furnished
quarters.

Des Moines, Dec. 9.--When the ag-
ricutural report for the state of Iowa
is given out for publicity next We'd
nesday. it will show the corn crop Tor
1907 to be about two-thirds of what
it was in 1906: the production for that
year being 3SS,S36,252 bushels. The oat
crop will also show corresponding
decrease. The yield of wheat, barley,
rye, hay, flax and other products, has
been about the same as last year
There is not only loss of one
third in the number of bushels of corn
raised. but the reports will show loss
Of S5S,000 acres. The total number
of acres cultivated for corn were
S,S5S,OO0.
The big decreases are the results
of poor termination during the spring
and summer and unfavorabe condi-
tions for the maturing Of the grain.

SUGAR BEET RETURNS POOR.
Business Not Success This Year, From
Financial Point Of View.

Special to Times-Republican.
II Hampton, Des. 9.-The returns from
the first experiment in growing sugar
beets in, Franklin county, are now
being figured up, and judging from
reports, the first year in the business
was not bowling success from a
financial point of view. Early last
spring the managers of the Waverly
sugar beet factory, the first one to
commence operations in Iowa, con-
tracted for ia acres of sugar beets
in that county and the crop therefrom
was 932 tons. While some excellent
beets were grown, and some of the
farmers realized we'll on the crop, the
wet weather of the spring and sum-
mer proved disastrous and resulted
in many failing to get back the money
paid out in cultivating and harvesting
the beets. Where the crop was not
hurt by wet weather, the quality of
the beets was equal to those of the
famous sugar beet belt of Michigan.

CHURCH TRIAL ON FOOT.
Plan Action Against Sioux City Ger
man Lutheran Pastor and Teacher.


| Sioux City, Dec. "a church trial
may now result in the case of the fog
ging Of children by Rev. Theopile
Stephan, pastor Of ST Pauls German
Lutheran church, and teacher of the
school. 1t is stated that charges will
be preferred against Mr.. Stephan
within short time. An effort was
made to see the minister at the school,
but he refused to talk or make any
statement whatever as to what his in
tentiOns were regarding the accusa-
tons made against him.
DIR. S. Staads. swhose children We're
whipped, also declined to become in
volved in any discussion whatever of
the case, simply reiterating that he had
nothing to say for publication at this
time. He admitted, however. that his
children were now attending the public
schools. Charles Lendowski, OF Morn
ingside. who has two children in the
school, is opposed to corporal punish
ment. When his children came home
and complained Of beating they had
received at the hands of the teacher,
he told them to report to him any more
beatings and he would take drastic
measures to see that 1t was not re-
peated.
An effort was started Saturday to-
ward the filing of legal action against
Rev. Mr.. Stephan. 1t was not given out
what specific case would be used, but
it was intimated that as soon as suf-
ficient evidence was at hand the mat
ter would be carried into court. The
members of the German Lutheran
church are backward about discussing
the affair.

Contested Basket Ball Game.

Contested Basket Ball Game.
Special to Times Republican.
| Union, Dec. 9.--In a holly contested
basket ball game at Alden, Saturday,
the Union high school pulled the last
spike" in Alden's claim to the high
school championship of Hardin county,
when they met the latter team and de-
! feated them II to IA.
TIE teams lined up for the game
as follows:
Union. Alden.

ii. Hansen. ........ c.. ............B Beer
Smith ...........r. g......... Mahood
Hansen .........l. g........s... Smith
Officials: Campbell and Tisdale
| Union is the only high school team
In the county that has beaten Alden
and the only team that has defeated
them on their home ground. When
| our boys defeated them Thanksgiving
at Mason's sale pavilion, the Alden
correspondent laid it to "the decidedly
sloping ground, the wire netting, and
the Union boys having been especially
drilled in the building for that par
tic,lar game The wire netting was
put on Thanksgiving morning and
the Alden team was on the ground to
practice within fifteen minutes after
the last staple had been driven The
Union boys did not get a practice in
the buildings' with the wire" on the
posts before the game.
Our boys feel highly elated over their
victory. They had not seen the
camel played until the latter part of
September and played their first pub
lie game October 10 with Hubbard
Union has played seven games, losing
only one, and that was to a college
team. This game would not have been
lost could they have selected their
players promiscuously, but no student
is allowed to play on the team who
does not have a passing grade in all
his studies.
Those who have taken part in the
different games this fall are John Han
son, Harold Marshall, Roy Lepley,
Henry Hanson, Roy Smith. Harold
Hanser Clair Mason, and George
Drake. Their success lies in their
having taken good care of themselves
and applying themselves diligently to
the tasks before them.

Indianola, Dec. 9.-The z. P. Wrigh,
& Co.'S large retail stocks of books
stationery, wall paper and Christmas
novelties was destroyed by fire Satur-
day. This was one Of the largest
stores in town. The fire was discover
ed by employees in nearby stores, who

in the walk in front OF the book store
and found the store filled with smoke,
altho no flame was visible. An alarm
was Immediately turned in and q
vigorous fight saved the building with
but slight damage.
The origin of the fire is not known,
but it is thought that it started In
the basement under the wall paper
room as the worst damage by fire is at
this end Of the store.
The stock of goods carried by Mr..

realized on the goods to make up the
difference.

very difficult. Suspended from his
neck he had a leather pocketbook con-
tanning $40 in gold. In his trousers
pocket was found a door key and a
small purse containing SO in paper and

could lead to the mans Identification.
