of Court.
Special to Times Republican.
Traer, April 9.-The suit of j. T.
Findley against Richard Ferreter has
once more been set for the April term

ley brought suit against Mr.. Ferreter.
who was then a tenant on the plain

to keep and perform certain covenants
provided in the lease, and had allowed
the buildings and Improvements to be-
come dilapitated, all to the damage of
the plaintiff, in the sum of $40. Mr..
F'erreter was about to move to Cana

of Tama county, garnisheeing the
First National Bank of Dysart in
which bank defendant had funds to the
amount of several thousand dollars.
After the filing of plaintiffs petition.
and prior to the issuance of the writ

and agreed ito pay all damages which
the said Richard Ferreter may sustain

RABIES MAY BE GENERAL.
Several Animals on Frank Pysney
Farm Near Otis Must Be Killed.

Several Animals on Frank Pysney
Farm Near Otis Must Be Killed.
Cedar Rapids, April 9.-Dr. ]. w.
Griffith, assistant state veterinary
surgeon, received word over the tele-
phone from the Frank Pysney farm
near Otis that horse on the place
was showing signs of rabies. DR..
Griffith at once took the matter up
with Mayor Carmody and the mem
bers of the commission, and as a re-
suit the entire body drove down to the
place.
They found that it was a hog, how
ever, instead of horse that had de-
veloped unmistakable signs of rabies,
and the animal was killed, making
two hogs and one COW that have now
been killed at the Pysney farm. 1t is
feared that a number of other ami
mails must be killed later. They will
be watched very closely.
Immediately upon their return to
the city, Mayor Carmody instructed
Marshal Grocer to carry out the order
of DR.. Griffith to the letter and see
that every dog in the city not muzzled
or tied up was exterminated. Mr.. Gro
yer got DuSy dt OIlCc, dllu WcuL Jul III
search of dog catchers. He announced
that there were jobs open at the po-
lice station for half dozen men.
Owing to the fact that the supply of
muzzles was early exhausted, nothing
was done in regard to the enforcement
of the order. Owing to the alarming
developments of the past few days,
however, it has been determined to
take no further chances, and the cru
sade against unmuzzled dogs running
at large will be on in earnest at once.
1t is the duty of every citizen to enter
into this work and assist the officers
in every way possible. A number Of
dogs may have been bitten in Cedar
Rapids, and the dreadful disease may
develop at any moment. The city Of
ficials are in earnest, for should any
one be bitten by dog suffering from
rabies the city would become liable for
damages.

Fort Dodge. April 9.-Considerable
surprise was manifest in the city yes
terday afternoon when it was an
nounced that Father l.. S. Coffin, the
late candidate for governor on the pro-
hibiton ticket had been married to
Mrs. Nellie Ingals, formerly connected
with the industrial school at Eldora,
but later of Detroit, Mich. The cere-
mony took place at the home of the
bride, at Detroit
Father Coffin left the city the lat
ter part of the past week, and before
departing, announced he was bound
for Detroit to spend few days with
old friends. However, he quietly made
arrangements for a celebration of his
S5th birthday and had invited a num-
Der of pioneer friends to become his
guests at dinner on Friday, at which
time he expected to introduce to them
his wife. But for the fact of his mar
riage leaking out his plans would have
been carried out to nicely, and as
it is. the announcement comes as
great surprise to the people of the
city.
Hon. L. S. Coffin is one of the old
est and best known settlers of Web
ster county. Iowa. and has been iden-
titled with greater part of the his
tory of this section of the state He
was born in Alton Stafford county, N.
H., April 10. 1928. and came to this
section of he state in the winter of
1S54-'55. Previous TO that time he had
attended Oberlin College and later
taught school in Gauga Seminary, the
late President Garfield and Coffin's
bride being among the pupils. Short
ly after coming here. Mr.. Coffin's first
wife died, and in 1857 he was married
to Mary Chase, of Orleans county,
New York.
In 1883. Mr.. Coffin was appointed by
Governor Sherman to fill the vacancy
on the railroad commission caused by
the resignation of Hon. James Wilson,
which position he filled until the ex-
piration of the term in 1885, when he
w as AC-SiSSlCu anu SCISSu uIlil 1899.
While serving in this capacity he be-
gan to investigate more fully the con-
ditions surrounding the railroad men
of the country, and to agitate the sub
ject of the automatic coupler and air
brake. He finally secured the enact
ment of the law requiring them to be
placed on all cars, which was passed
by the Iowa state legislature in 1883.
He also secured the enactment of the
national law which was passed by
congress March 2, 1893. In 1890 he
founded a home for infirm and dis
abled railroad men at Highland Park,
near Chicago, and during the past sew
eral years has conducted a home on
his magnificent farm near this city
for paroled convicts, patterning to
large extent after the work done by
Mrs. Booth. He has been a most sue
