| Special to Times-Republican.
Clear Lake, Jan. 3.-Fifty business
men of this place were hoodwinked in
to taking Golfers Weekly and paying
for it at regular rates, when they were
made to believe they were getting 1t
| for ten weeks for 81, by a young wo-
man Of beauty and taking ways, who
paid them a visit a few months ago.
This week a young man put in an ap-
pearance and quietly asked for the sub
scriptions for Golfers, presenting bill
for IS, which was paid, however with
out serious protest.
The young woman who solicited the
subscriptions agreed to furnish Col
lier's, with several other standard mag
azines, at a monthly pittance of so
cents. The contract looked innocent
and she sold to almost every one
she met. The contract as presented by
the young man looked different, and as
it contained the signatures of each Of
the fifty subscribers, there was little
use in denying it. Instead of valuable
magazines a few cheap pictures of the
Russo-Japanese war, couple of books
of the 35-cent kind and a memory Of
a fair-faced young woman who was
earning her way thru college were the
fruits Of the interview.

George Munson, Living Near osceoIa,
Had Fortune Hidden in House.
Special to Times Republican.
Osceola, Jan. 3.-Before the death
of George Munson, the aged recluse
found frozen just outside the barn on
his farm near here, by neighbor, he
gave directions for a search which re-
vealed a fortune in the house. He had
lived alone on his property for more
than a quarter of a century, and while
feeding his horses Christmas, fell be-
tween the animals, but managed with
feeble strength to drag himself OUT
side the door, where he fell exhausted.
He lay in the cold all night and was
found the following day and carried to
the home of Frank Howell in a dying
condition. He was able to tell those
about him to hunt for money left in
the house, and over $1,000 was discov-
cred. Ninety-five dollars in gold pieces
were found, musty with age, in an o!
tin baking powder can. Between the
leaves of an old code Of the state of
Iowa 500 was extracted, and small
wads and little rolls of bills, faded with
age, were tucked away in trunks and
boxes The money was taken to the
bank at Murray. Besides this treasure
he was the owner Of 200 acres of rich
farm land.
The aged recluse died shortly after
the wealth was found For years he had
lived in his home near Osceola, prefer
ring the life of the hermit to that of
any other kind No one suspected tina
he had his gold hidden on his farm.

Beef Packers Can Not Locate
in Sioux City Because of
Opposition
SHUT OUT FROM THE YARDS
Claim Is Made That Swift & Co. Are
Back of the Refusal to Give Them
Space for Packing Houses-opposi-

the Yards.
Special to Times-Republican

\ SSDeClal TO
Sioux City, Jan. 3.-Just when Sioux
City felt confident another beef pack
ing plant would be secured and the
stock shippers were figuring on better
prices because of competitive bidding,
not be established.
| John Oake of the firm of Roberts q
Oake, writes a Sioux City business
man it will be impossible for his firm
! to establish an independent packing
house here, because of the opposition
Of Swift & Co. owners Of the Sioux
City Stock Yards Company.
Those who talked with Roberts q
Oake. when they came to Sioux City
at the invitation of William Gordon to
meet the business men, are sure lnat
the decision which the firm has reach
ed is not the one they desired to make,
and hope that it will not be final.
Both members of the firm expressed
sincere desire to come to Sioux CITY
They declared it to be the ideal poln,
for a pork packing plant, and IN an
interview given to The Tribune, MT.
Oake said:
we would rather have a South Da-
kota hog than any hog on the market.
The hogs from the territory ABOUT
Sioux City are from to per cent
better than any other hogs received IN
Chicago. We want to get closer 70
the farms where such hogs are raised.
We are coming west some place, ana
we hope we can come to Sioux CITY.
Roberts & Oake were discouraged
when the stock yards company, con-
trolled oy Swift & Co, withdrew
proposition made the independent
packers by President F. l.. Eaton to
allow the new firm to use the six acres
Of land at the yards held for packing
house. and the cash offer, made as
bonus to secure new packers.
Members of the Live Stock Exchange
and Commercial Club believe Swift q
Company are opposing the admission
of Roberts & Oake, while they are IN
vestigating new conditions with view
of establishing third packing house IN
Sioux City themselves.
With the opening of the new beef
house of the Cudahy Packing Company
here Monday, that firm is in the mar
ket for 100 per cent more cattle than IN
the past. Indications are that 1T will
be some time, before the Cudahy Pack
ing Company can secure all the cattle
which the increased capacity of their
plant will demand.
The increased demand of the Cudahy
Packing Company for high grade cat
tie will make Sioux City better mar
ket for cattle than it has ever been.
With third packing house in Sioux
City the prices would be increased UNI
til the prices at the yards here would
be the best on the Missouri river, es-
pecially in the northern district, where
the product of the packing houses must
be transported by all rail routes.
Southern markets, even Kansas City,
have an advantage in being nearer the
