IOWA ANIMAL PARTS FRIENDS
AND STARTS MANY LAWSUITS.
Originally Valued at sis, Sold for $13,
But Now Dead-Several Persons
Involved in Trouble and End
Not Yet in Sight.

Ottumwa, lathe golden calf of
biblical fame has never been honored
to any greater extent than the prided
calf of the Iowa farmer. nor has that
historical calf OF the golden days been
the cause of more broken friendships
and enmity among lifelong neighbors
than one particular black and white
spotted calf, originally valued at SIG.
actually sold at $l3. and now dead.
The history of the case dates back
to 1905, when this same black and
white spotted calf wandered into Wa
pello county from no one knows where
and was locked up in the pasture of
w. H Hillery. William Belgrade
claimed the animal and, failing to In
duce Hillery to give 1t up, filed suit
of replevin before Justice w. ]. Berry.
Belgrade gave the calf's value as SIG
and after three days of arguments by
the opposing attorneys and an examin-
alton of AZ witnesses the court gave
the ownership of the animal to Hill
lery. The suit cost SIS and was
charged against Belgrade. Shortly af
ter this Hillery sold the calf for $13
and 1t was not long until the calf died.
Belgrade failed to pay the costs in
the case and his bondsman, William
Miller. was called upon to liquidate
the debt. Feeling that Belgrade was
well able to pay the debt, Miller at
tached a red steer belonging to Bel
grade. The steer was placed in the
pasture of James Houdyshell pending
further action. Belgrade concluded
that Miller had no right to the steer
and went to the Houdyshell pasture,
and, procuring the steer. later sold it
to Hiram Box, a neighbor. for $40.
Upon learning of this Miller filed in
formation against Belgrade for lar.
ceny and upon technicality he was
found not guilty. The cost of this suit
was $17.75. During the progress OF
this trial Attorneys w. S. Coen and
w. W. Rankin. employed on opposite
sides, engaged in an argument IN
which some strong language was used.
Rankin swore out warrant against
his fellow attorney for using abusive
language The attorney was acquitted
and the costs of the suit. amounting 10

much of this loss may be made up by
placing licenses on pany branches of
industry which are thus taxed In all
the big cities but which we have never
assessed in Albuquerque. | would
suggest hat the proper committee get
together and look carefully into the
proposition. There are a number of
licenses which should In fairness be
raised and quite a number OF new ones
which should be charged"
