burg, was the defendant.
\ 1t seems that Mr.. Hutchinson
daughter married Jesse Ford, of What
Cheer, when she was II years OF age
Two years Afterwards Mr.. Ford, In
company with two other men, were
on Skunk river in boat and We're
drowned. The daughter, with heI
babe FIVE months old, returned to hei
parental home, but did not stay there
long. She moved back to What Cheer
taking the child with her, but LEFT
there after a few months and went tc
Iowa City, leaving the child with Its
grandparents, where she has LIVED
ever since. The child is now aged II
years and is named Helen Ford.
Mrs. Ford afterward married maj
named Narmore, who has since died
She has now married Charles Won
lend. travelling man OF Sioux City

live with her. Her parents refused
to give the child, and she brough
habeas corpus proceedings. Her at
torneys were j. II. Hallan, of Siou.

| scented by Attorney John F. Lacey, o

Timely Action Prevents Fire At E,

A little spark on the end of dis
carded match was the cause Sunday
evening OF the interruption of the six
weeks interval between fire alarms
The alarm was sent in for the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Shaw

was under control before the arrival
of the department and the alarm was
all the fire lads had with which to
break the monotony Of their long
rest.
The damage was triyial,-a waste
paper basket, table cover and some
little things on the table. MIR. Shaw
in disposing of the blazing basket
however. was severely and painfully
burned about the hands.
A match was thrown into the paper
basket following the lighting of the
gas. The little spark of fire remain
ing on the match just happened t.
come in contact with the inflammablt
stuff and started business.
This alarm is the first call for the
department to be turned in within
the past six weeks, the last previou.
call being TO the Holloway property
on College avenue just six weeks age
this morning. This is the longest
interval between alarms of which the
department has record in many years

Workina All The Time.

Dame Nature has worked a won
derful change in the local landscape
within the past week. Moistened by
frequent showers and warmed by the
kildly rays OF the sun, the grass has
come forth as if by magic, and where
week ago fields and lawns were
brown and scar carpet of brilliant
green now appears. The greater por'
ton of this great change has been
brought about since last Friday. The
buds are swelling and all forms OF
spring life are just ready to burst
forth into activity.
The pretty appearance of the park
and lawns about town Sunday morn
ing caught the eye of almost every
one and there were few who failed to
note the changes with the feeling OF
pleasure.

WELL KNOWN AND RESPECTED
YOUNG MAN or KEoTA ENDS
HIS EXISTENCE WITH A
RIFLE, SUNDAY.

Keota, Iowa, March 30.-Special.--
Our community was terribly shocked
last evening about O'Clock. upon
the finding of Clarence Statler's body
cold in death, shot in the temple with
a 22-calibre rife. which lay across his
body. Mr.. Statler was 10 or 20 years
of age and had worked for T. Morris
in the hardware store for the past
year. Late yesterday afternoon Mr..
Morris was called upon to go to the
store on some business and going in
and walking towards the stove the
horrible deed was discovered. 1t will
never be known exactly just when
the deed was committed. He left the
store Saturday night about 10. HIS
body was taken TO the undertaller's
rooms. Mr.. Statler was a well re-
spected young man, with a bright fu-
ture before him, all that wealth and
position cou d desire. He leaves a
frail broken-hearted widowed mother
and younger brother and host OF
highly respected relatives. who mourn
his untimely departure.

first but great victory of the season
The final score of the game was 20 t.

fast, consistent game, while the Lux
