Body of Oscar Dahl, Of Fort Dodge,

Special TO Times Republican
Waterloo, Nov. 6.--It is believed that
Oscar Dahl, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. M. M.
Dahl, of Fort Dodge, whose body was
found lying in eighteen inches of water
near the east pier of the Chicago,
Great Western railroad bridge here,
had fallen from that structure, dis
lance of fifteen feet or more, and struck
on his head on the stones surrounding
the pier.
No one saw him fall and the coro-
ner has not been able to determine
whether it is case of accidental death
or suicide. A gunny sack containing
several empty beer bottles which lay
beside him was evidently being carried
at the time. There was a strong wind
blowing all day in Waterloo, and it is
possible that he may have lost his bal
ance in crossing the bridge.
There is also theory that he COM
mitted suicide, as it was known that
he was out of funds and had applied at
police headquarters for place to sleep
over night. Monday morning he pleaded
guilty to the charge of intoxication at
ter spending Sunday night in the jail,

Question Before the Delaware
County Supervisors Will Prob

The Question is Raised Over Whether
DeIaware, a Prohibition County, Can
Collect MuIot Tax Against Property
Where Liquors Are Being Sold In
Violation of the State Laws.
Special to Times-RepublIcan.

Special to Times-Republican
Manchester, Nov. Can a prohi-
bition county collect a mulct tax
against property, where liquors are
being sold in violation of the state
laws, is a question that has occupied
the attention of the board Of super
visors Of Delaware county for several
days past.
Some time ago William Conway, a
local liquor dispenser, rented a barn
owned by NJ. w. Sheldon, that had for
merly been occupied as livery and
boarding stable. Conway is said to
hold government permit for selling
liquors, but he has been fined in the
federal court several times for selling
liquors in violation Of the law, as
Delaware county has been prohibi-
ton county for the last twenty years.
However, City Assessor J. NJ. Pearse
was notified, and given conclusive
proof that Conway had been retailing
bottled beer from the barn owned by
Sheldon, therefore the assessment rolls
were returned with the state mulct tax
charged up against the property. Shell
don claims that he inserted a clause
in the lease which he secured from
Conway when the latter took possess

no intoxicating liquors should be sold

is liable for the assessment it looks

case, and the trouble will probably end
in the courts.
