General futile, OF this city: Henry G.
Caldwell, who was afterwards on the
federal bench; Joseph G. Knapp, a
great lawyer and candidate for gov
ernor of the state, were among the
number. Knapp, Wright & Caldwell
was the title of law firm in those
trio of lawyers as the country has
known or will for some days.
W. w. Baldwin, Of Burlington, whose
mother was q sister of Judge Wright,
is among those we own Van Buren,
county as one time their home. A
brother of Judge Wright. who was at
one time governor of Indiana. lived
there for time with the rest Of the
Wright family, Delason Smith, who
was first senator from Oregon; Gen.
James B. Weaver, who has left the
stamp of his personality indelibly upon
the state Of Iowa, was married In Van
Buren, county. Captain Bonney, who
was the first secretary OF state came
from there and Edwin Manning, the
linancier, made that his home.
This doesn't begin to exhaust the list
and doubtless some Of the most famous
men of that county have been over
looked In this enumeration which Is
made from memory without consulting
the records. 1t can probably be said
without fear Of successful contradiction
that no county west OF the Mississippi
river has ever given to the country so
many really great men as has Van Blu
rem county. Should all the great men
now living who at one time claimed
Van Buren, county as their home at
tend the home coming there in the
of August it would be a gather
ing that would rival the famous

Fort Dodge. July 24.-Wilbur Carr,
who murdered Tom Nicholson, the
town marshal at Gowrie, who is in jail
here, is growing very Respondent and
it is feared he will go insane, as his
mother and sister have since his crime.
The mother is confined in the hospital
lent and will probably be sent to the
hospital, 'carr's father is in jail serv-
ing a sentence for intoxication, and
the family Of small children at home
are in pitiable condition.
The sixteen year old sister is now
violently insane as a result of the muir
der She grew verN bad Wednesday
night and her condition is said to be
exactly similar to her mothers, just
before it was necessary to take her to
Cherokee.
Turnout her entire sickness she has
threatened to kill herself at various In
tervals and it is said that she recently
bought a bottle of carbolic acid and
now asks for it-"Just to smell It,"
The little family of children, still at
home, is pitiable indeed. With their
mother In the insane asylum, their ia
Their in jail here, serving sentence for
drunkenness, their brother jailed on
charge Of murder, their sister in
serious condition at their little home,
they ars being cared for by friends
and an older brother who lives in
neighboring town.
Wilbur Carr has grown Respondent
over the fate that is in store for him.
He spends his wakeful hours brood
ing, and refuses to talk with other In
mates of the Jail, answering his Keep
ers briefly, when spoken to.
There is some fear that his depond-
ency will, lead to another phase, SO
considerable care Is being taken Of
him. He remains locked in his cell
both day and night, but is gentle and
penitent in both words and actions.

oUIcksAND SWALLOWS MULES.
Span Valued at $500 Sucked Down to
Death Before Missouri Farmer.

Columbia, Mo.-Completely swal
lowed in the NAV of quicksand bed
Is feet in diameter was the fate of a
$500 pair of mules belonging to NJ. c..
Angel, farmer of this county, near
Rocheport, Is miles west of here.
Only by the hardest work did James
Kite and other farmers, whom he
called to his aid, succeed in saving
another pair of mules equally as valu'
able from the oozy depths. The hind
legs of the two dead animals pro-
truding now give warning of the dan
ger that turks in the death pit.
Mr.. Kite is foreman of the farm on
which the accident happened. He
was plowing a field which the high
water had overhowed. 1t was dry and
hard, and four mules were required to
pull the plow. In the middle of the
field, without warning, the lead team
broke through the caking of mud, and
before Mr.. Kite realized it they were
slowly sinking in the sand and drag
ging the team behind with htem.
Kite cut the back mules loose and
succeeded in saving them. Only after
a hard struggle did they manage to
pull their front legs and shoulders out
of the mire.
