thought that Godfrey may not recover.
William Evans is a foreman plaster

years ago he discharged George God

time blows passed between the men.
Since then their encounters have al

be understood that they were mortal
enemies and both were said to go
armed.

Godfrey suddenly. and before he could

BODY. One took effect in the right
breast. another in the abdomen, a third
in the left hand and q fourth entered
the right arm, which the victim had

the floor. Evans and the other men in
the barroom fled az Policemen Smith,

 PERJURY ALLEGED Warrants to Be Asked Against Liquor Men in Bridge
 port. TESTIMONY WAS UNTRUE Allegation Made Against Those Who Sought Licenses in Fairfield
 County.

Bridgeport Aug 17-Trouble by the wholesale Is coming to some of the men in Bridgeport and throughout Fairfield county, who have been before the coun- tv commissioners and have taken oaths that they are the bona i1de owners or nlaces for which they sought licenses, when. as a matter of fact, they arc merely agents for the brewers in whose emnloy they are. The representatives of inc Law Enforcement league assert they have the goods on some of them, and warrants are to be asked for tho arrest of such men on the ground that they are Der1urors.
 The general statutes define perjury AS the taking of false oath to some material matter. The taking oath that person is the bona fide owner of Q saloon when such Is not the case, and when If is necessary to be the bona 1de owner of a saloon in order to secure n lIauor license, Is false swearing to a very material matter, and 1t is asserted there is documentary evidence in three different cases In the hands of the agents of the league.
 The statutes provide that any one guilty of perjury shall be confined in the county jail for not less than six months, or in the state prison for not more than five years, there beng no fine permissible.
 In the case of the saloon which was ralded for running without a license, at 1lG Hallett street, the liquors have been seized, and will be destroyed, and the saloon has gone out of business, and will stay out until there is license for it. Robert Weber to-day surrender ed the M, c. Smith license to the county commissioners, and applied for one In his own name,

Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1908-11-25

For some few years past it has been
the voiced comment upon hearing of
lard sales in Iowa first at 500 per acre,
then al $3.50, and finally even at the $500
per notch, that the investment never
could be made to pay at that figure, and
yet we know the price has beeIf steadily
and persistently advancing, says the Mt
Vernon HaaVkeye This OF itself ought
to be sufficient answer to those who are
incredulous and if such doubters desire
detailed information all they have to do
is to read the newspapers One hardly
picks up a paper nowadays without fnd-
ing articles, contributed i'll many in
stances by the farmers themselves,
telling the story of how the farms are
making good even at the highest most
fancy, figures in evidence. We have
seen it stated that corn this year has
brought returns of $34 per acre, making
rented land profitable undertaking.
In Winnebago county names and details
are furnished of an acreage profit yield
of SIS, the crop being sugar beets. 1t
takes a good deal of work to cultivate
an acre of the beets but even at that
there must be money in high priced land
used for such purpose. Small dairy
farms. poultry ranches, and intensified
farms generally show per acre returns
many fold in advance of the general
crop statistics. And then there is the
gradually accepted fact that these re-
suits have been attained with the most
crude efforts, that our land has not
been cultivated and nourished at any
thing like its capacity for responding.
Nowhere i'll the world to-day Is greater
progress being made or greater possi-
bilities presented than upon an Iowa
farm.
