I~1HE success or this interview
provoked other attempts on the
part of the reporters who now
fiocked into the southwest. Ere
long particulars began to pour in OF
Mr. Fairbrothers painful journey
south after his illness set in. The
clerk OF the hotel in Ell Moro where the
great mine owners name was found
registered at the time of the murder
told a story which made very good
reading for those who were more in
terested in the sufferings and expert
ences of the millionaire husband or the
murdered lady than in those of the un
happy but comparatively insignihcant
man upon whom public opinion had
cast the odium of her death.
1t seemed that when the first news
came of the great crime which had
taken place in New York Mr.. FAIR
brother was absent from the hotel on
prospecting tour through the ada
cent mountains. Couriers had been
sent after him, and 1t was one of these
who finally brought him into town.
He had been found wandering alone
on horseback among the defles or an
untraveled region, sick and almost in
coherent from fever. Indeed his condi-
ton was such that neither the courier
nor such others as saw him had the
heart to tell him the dreadful news
from New York or even to show him
the DaDers. To their great relief he
betrayed no curiosity in them. All he
wanted was a berth in the first train
going south. and this was an easy way
for them out of a great responsibility
They listened to his wishes and saw
him safely aboard with such alacrlty
and with so many precautions against
, his being disturbed that they have new
err doubted that he left FL Moro in to
. tai ignorance not only of the circum
stances of his great bereavement, bu

At 4 o'clock Tuesday morning the
whistles at the sugar factory whistled
long and loud. The unusual music at
this unusual hour proclaimed the fact
that the factory had sliced all the, beets
in sight The management reports
that approximately they have made
1000 barrels of sugar. The campaign
has been satisfactory and compares
favorably with the work at other sugar
factories the first year. The only UNI
satisfactory feature is the fact that
the tonnage of beets received did not
come up to what was expected. The
unfavorable season is mostly to blame
for this. And the lack of experience
of our farmers with the sugar beet
crop also has something to do with
the small tonnage. The company Is
now doing good deal on the outside
for acreage. They are making some
head way in this line ut Forest City,
Stacyville, ST. Ansgar, West Liberty
and other parts of the state.

SHOOTING AT GRUMPY CENTER.
Row in Gambling Den stirs People and
Crusade May Follow.

Special to I1mes-Republican.
Grundy Center, Dec. IA shooting
scrape last night gives promise of
bringing to light the facts concerning
a gambling den that is said to exist
near our Main street. Early Wednes-
day evening, one of our former BUSH
ness men came running out OF the
! den" calling for help. A team was
hitched up and he was hauled to his
home where two doctors labored over
him to remove A bullet that had
been shot thru his knee. He says that
it was an accident, but the general be-
lief is that it was the result of a
poker game. 1t is also said that the
night previous the members Of the
gang got after each other with clubs
and only the Intervention. of outside
parties saved serious trouble. There
are places in our town where just
such things are said to be carried on
but those in authority never seem to
hear of them. Last SATURDAY. night two
Young men who are under sentence
to the inebriate asylum pummeled one
of their fellows until he was uncon-
scious, and certain parts Of our town
are hardly fit fot a woman to go by
after dark, and even the travelling
men are talking about the conditions.
The better class of our people are
calling for an investigation and In
sisting that things are running entirely
too loose around town, and the lid
needs to be put on. In most cases these
men are intoxicated, yet we are sup
posed to have "dry" town. 1t is like
ly that an investigation Of the liquor
dens will also be made. A group Of
our high school boys have recently
been discovered aping their elders and
trying their hand at poker, while their
parents were wondering where their
sons were spending their evenings.

IS Griswold, Dec. THE neighborhood
fonr miles southwest of here is much
excited over a sensational incident
occurring there Thursday evening. Con-
stable Cass Swart was called post
haste to the home of Cal Moore, and
when he arrived there everything was
An a commotion. A short time previous,
bullet from q 32-caliber had crashed
thru a window, and was buried IN the
casing Of the door few inches from
where Mrs Moore was sitting, and In
range with her head.
The source Of the bullet was great
mystery. 1t appears the Moores and
neighboring family had been having
some trouble, and suspicion fell upon
Miss Christian Thulin, who was
placed under arrest at the instance
of the Moores. The woman was TAX
en- to town by Constable Swart and
remained at the officers home over
night. The Moore's, however, were
unable to furnish any evidence in the
slightest, duplicating the accused. and
she was released.
It is claimed by the Thulins that at
the time 1t is said by the Moores that
the shooting occurred, Mr.. Thulin and
his two daughters, Mrs. Erickson and
Miss Christina, were all sitting to-
gether in the Thulin home, and that
the first knowledge they had of the
matter was when they had their at
tention attracted to the Moore home
by the commotion.
