And Robbed in His Store by a
Negro Thief.
WILL PROVE FATAL.

drawer Robbed by Robber, Who
Is Seen in the Store by a
Woman and Child, but He Makes
His Escape and is at Large.
The Spartanburg Herald of We'd
nesday tells of the murderous as
sault on Mr.. Henderson, merchant
Of that city, on Tuesday night of
last week The Herald says ne
gro robber at the money drawer
and the proprietor lying on the
floor of a back room in an uncon-
scious condition, with several
hatchet wounds in the head was
what Mrs. Cora Lawrence saw when
she entered the store of Mr.. B. F..
Henderson, on North Liberty street,
with her little son on the evening
above mentioned. She spread the
alarm, but the robber made his es-
cape.
All that is known of the robbery
and assault is the story told by Mrs.
Lawrence She went to the store
about o'clock to get Mr.. Hender-
son to read a letter for her. She
carried small boy along with her.
To her surprise she found negro
behind the counter. He had the
money drawer out and helping him
self to the loose silver.
She asked the negro where Mr..
Henderson was. He replied that
he had stepped out and left him in
charge till he came back. Mrs.
Lawrence then stated that she would
wait until he returned. The rob-
ber replied that it was no use to
do that. because it might be some
time before Mr. Henderson returned.
Mrs. Lawrence heard some one
struggling in the room to the rear
Of the store room. She looked
back and saw Mr.. Henderson lying
on the floor She said that she
would GO back to him, and that all
the powers of heaven and earth
could not keep her from doing SO.
AS she passed into the back reor1
the negro fastened out of the front
door. She found Mr.. Henderson
on the floor, writhing in his own
blood, with several wounds in his
head and the hatchet lying near
him. He was in an unconscious
condition. She set up an alarm
and it was not long before crowd
gathered.
Mrs. Lawrence says that she would
know the negro If she saw him
again. He was tall fellow with
long mustache. He carried q
heavy stick which was hanging on
his arm while he was taking the
money from the drawer. One hand
trembled as if he were afflicted with
rheumatism. He was stranger.
Mr.. Henderson keeps store on
North Liberty street, near the over
head bridge. He lives alone in the
rear Of the store. He is a man of
about fifty years Of age. 1t is not
known how much money was in the
drawer.
The policeman went to work on
the case at once. A negro by the
name of Wallace Williams, who fit
ted the description of the robber
given by Mrs. Lawrence, was ar
rested and taken before her, but
she said that he was not the one,
and he was then released. Will
liams is the negro who was tried for
the murder of Doc Westfield, color
ed, several years ago and came
clear.
Mr.. Henderson's skull is fractured
in three places as a result of the
blows inflicted by the robher. The
hatcheC with which til" Work was
done was found beside him.

Everything now points, in the minds of

full solution of the pure drinking water

Preparations for the corn contest to
be held in this city Jan. II to 16, in
elusive, are going on with an energy
that promises a greater success
than ever before. The farmers, tho
very busy with the gathering of the
golden corn just now. are responding
to the invitation to join witllxthe bus

that shall be large enough to take hold
OF more extensive schemes than have
heretofore been attempted and main
tain the reputation of Poweshiek coun-
ty as one OF the best agricultural
counties of the state.
Farmers in this vicinity are making
rapid progress in stripping the husks
from an excellent crop of corn, in spite
of all the unpromising things coming
,pnp them during tho plontiper and
growing season. One Chester farmer
reported last week that he had gath
cred over 1000 bushels. which was
yielding better than sixty bushels to
the acre. Others are reporting the
crop as better than the average in
yield, and also in quality. All agree
that, if the present dry and fine wealth
err continues, Thanksgiving will see
most OF the corn of this county in the
crib.

The foot ball games played in the
Missouri Valley section last Saturday
were signalized by the selection of a
champion of the section 1t would
seem that Nebraska has a strong claim.
an almost conclusive claim to, this
honor. Taking comparative scores into
consideration. Nebraska by its victories
over Iowa and Ames has made itself
the master of the west, on this side
of the Mississippi river. Kansas uni
versity is the only team to dispute the
title, and not many will take this claim
seriously Kansas has a cracking
good team, but not up to the wonder
full machine built up by Coach Cole at
Nebraska.
AS was the case last year. Nebraska
and Ames put up the game of the year
for this section Of the country. and as
was the case last year Nebraska won
out by the skin of its teeth. Consid-
ering the many changes that hava
been forced upon the Ames team in the
past month the showing of Coach Will
Jams warriors last Saturday was
something marvellous. Nebraska's line
was the factor that decided the game
in favor of the Cornhuskers.
In the middle west games the one OF
most interest to 1owans was the Iowa
Illinois contest Iowa suffered its third
successive defeat at the hand of q sis
ter state institution. 1t is evident, how
ever, that Coach Catlin's men put up
wonderfully pluciy fight against the
we'll conditioned Illinois team. Captain
Kirk showed his grit by getting back
into the game after a serious injury
the Saturday previous. The desperate
effort made by the Hawkeyes to score
in the first part OF the second half was
inspiring. The games played between
Illinois and Iowa are peculiar, in that
one team. generally, has u wide mar
gin of victory over the other. Some
times Iowa is In the lead by a good
sized score, as was the case last year,
and at other times Illinois gets large
margin. as was the case this year. The
difference in the scores of the two
teams often does not indicate, the true
difference in the teams.

Alden, Nov 9.-Alden won the high
school basket ball championship of
Hardin county and vicinity. by de-
feating Union 16 to 10, In a desperate
ly played game on the local field. Both
teams had been coached especially for
this game. as it became evident early
in the season that it would have all
important bearing on the county cham
pionship. The high schools of this
section have forsaken foot ball for bas-
ket ball as fall sport, as it is much
better adapted to high school boys and
given the smaller schools "look in"
on the honors. Interest in the game
and rivalry among the schools is at a
high pitch. Alden and Union have
ed turnout the season each being I'M
defeated by other high school teams.
BY this second victory over their able
rivals, the Alden boys gained clear
title to the county championship. The
game was close, spectacular and re-
lnarkably exciting from start to finish.
Alden led by a small margin, most of
the time, but Union closed up and tied
the score often enough to keep the
result in doubt. Toward the close of
the second half, the superior speed and
ability of Captain Hunt and his men
TO run the ball down the field, kept
it constantly far. over in Union terri
tory, and piled up lead of six points
for Alden. Captain Hunt. Mcbride,
Beer, Hill and Smith made up the
Alden five, and every. man played a
star game, each one making points
from the field.
In the evening q celebration in hon
or of Alden's champion team was held
