The back room of County Auditor
John w, Doak's quarters at the court
house resembled a hide house this
morning, more than a place for stor-
ing old records. The cause of the
quick change was the passage by the
legislature last winter of law pro-
viding for a bounty of ten cents for
pocket gopher claws. E. w. Mort
land, a farmer residing a few miles
from this city, holds the record thus
far as the champion gopher catcher
of Mahaska county. He brought to
the auditors Office Saturday 2S7 pairs
of gopher claws. The circus which
brought a large crowd to the city to-
day, also brought lot of claws. 1t
is estimated that the back room OF
the auditors office now contains near
ly one thousand claws.
