most heinOus crime OF numbering a
hog with malice prepeuse or some

was committed in defense Of his
chicken ro0st; that the blamed old
hog was eatin' Of his chickens, aud
he wanted them for himself: that
chickens are scarce and high and he
couldn't afford to feed EN- to his
neighbours hogs; that in order to
prevent further slaughter ot the
chickens he killed the hog.
The case was continued unit! Aug
ust 18th, and Mr.. Abshire gave bond
for his appearance in court that day.
Mr.. Abshire is an aged gentleman
and a peusioner Of the Federal army

Special to Times Republican.
Oelwein, Jan. 12.-The strike OF the
local lodge of boilermakers was de-
clared off and all the members OF the
organization have returned TO work In
the Great Western shops
Nothing definite could be learned as
to the settlement Of the difficulty but it
il understood that with the assistance
Of the head officer who was here We'd
nesday, satisfactory arrangement
was made with the company.
The terms Of the settlement could
NOT be learned and therefore it is not
known whether or not the men won
their point.

employed in drilling stay bolts, which
would, IL true, seem to indicate that
the company has not receded from its
first position regarding working help

The strike lasted about q week and
1t was so creditably conducted on the
part Of the members of the Boilermak-
ers' Union that people hardly knew
there was anything in the nature of a
strike going on in the city.
For being close mouthed, too. re-

Special to Times Republican.
Ames, Jan. 12.-The chicken show
now in progress at Anes will close
Saturday, and the chickens will be
shipped out Saturday night. The prizes
have all been awarded, but they have
not been made public in all cases. A
large number were won by chickens
exhibited by Ames breeders, and sew
eral Of the finer birds of the show have
changed hands at fancy prices. Secre-
tal.y Fowler and President Goble are
well pleased with the show and be-
lieve that they have had the best show
of the state this season in more ways
than in the number of birds entered,
Already there is talk of the next
show and it is certain that Ames will
have another and It seems safe to pre-
dict that the city will become the larg-
est poultry showing point in the state,
if not the greatest breeding locality.
The Ames Poultry Breeders1 Asso-
citation has already started a move
ment to ask the state legislature to
appropriate $1,000 for their show as an
annual occurrence. and the success Of
the present show should do much tow
ard helping on the passing of this bill.
If success succeeds, Ames will get an
appropriation without question.

City, County and Barber Com
pany All Make Claims on
Paving Assessments
SUIT ON TRIAL At FORT DODGE
The Point as to Who Owns the Penal
ties Paid by Property Owners on
Paving Assessments Has Never Be-
fore Been Raised in Iowa-Present
Suit Is Against County.
Special to Times-eepaolican.

Special to Times-f.epubiican.
Fort Dodge, Jan. 12.-At the trial of
the Barber Asphalt Paving Company's
case against Webster county, in the
district court, a point was brought up
never before raised in Iowa. Who
owns the penalties paid by property
owners on paving assessments" is the
puzzling question. The Barber AS
phalt Paving Company lays claim, the
county has always said it should have
it, and the city has now put in a claim
too.
The case dates back to the starting
of the putting in of asphalt paving
in Fort Dodge. AT that time the Bar
Der company agreed to take for its
pay the amount gained from assess
ments against property owners for
benefit. This is collected by the coun-
ty treasurer, and. as provided by stat
ute, a penalty of 6 per cent is levied
when the assessments are not paid
when due At present there is about
$500 in the county treasury in penal
ties and considerable amount more
is to be collected at present besides
what will accrue during the remainder
of the seven years allowed property
owners to settle their assessments.
The Barber company contends that
as the money is theirs, SO also should
be the penalty for not paying the
money The city concludes that the
whole transaction is the city's and
they should receive the penalties. The
county says "the county treasurer coll
lects the money, he is our officer and
he has the work. therefore the county
should get the penalty"
