Webster City. Oct 3.-According to
the Freeman Tribune of this city, the
report emanating from here that S
c. Butte, resident of this county
had secured judgment for many thou
sands of dollars against the estate of
Millionaire Wells. of Grundy county
is incorrect. The Freeman Tribune
says:
Our readers will remember that
some time ago S. c. Butte of Stan

had a claim for a large amount
against the estate of George Wells,
"a Grundy county millionaire who
died year or more ago. This claim
was alleged to be for money adj

Butte was a boy and worked for the
millionaire upon a farm in Grundy

the death of Wells and then rested his
case. A short time ago 1t was re-
ported to the Tribune that
the claim of Mr.. Butte had been all

dressed a letter of inquiry to the
clerk of courts of Grundy county, and
following Is the reply received:

claim was just what 1t had to be in

Iowa Falls, Oct. 3.-W. L. Rhodes is
now entitled to collect a judgment Of
several thousand dollars from the Des
Moines, Iowa Falls & Northern Rail
way company, after fighting a legal
battle of several years in the courts of
this state. Mr.. Rhodes, whose home
is in this city, was formerly in the
train service of the Short Line, and
while doing some switching on the
south end of the road, met with an
accident that cost him his right arm.
Being unable to settle satisfactorily
with the company, Mr.. Rhodes COM
menced action in the courts. The dis
trict court trial resulted in a verdict
for Rhodes, and the company appealed
the case to the supreme court, where
the verdict was affirmed The railroad
company then asked for rehearing
and this petition has just been de-
MED by the higher court, thus leav-
ing judgment against the company
which has, in the meantime, passed
out of existence, having been pur-
chased by the st. Paul & Des Moines

CLARION BARN BURNS.
Only Fortunate Direction Of the Wind

Special to Republican

Special to Times Republican.
Clarion, Oct. 3.-What came near
being a most disastrous fire. happened
when the large barn on the c. l.. Sum
mers place. In South Clarion, burned
yesterday afternoon. The wind had
been blowing almost a gale all day,
but it blew quartering from the dwell
ing. and in consequence the home was
saved. The fire company just had
hose enough to reach the barn, and do
good work, but the building was al
most destroyed before water could be
had, as it is at least a half mile from
the engine house. There We're three
horses in the barn, but they We're all
gotten out without injury except one,
which was severely burned about the
head. No one knows how the fire
started.
AT the last meeting of the Iowa coun-
ell it was arranged to continue the
water mains west to the right way
of the c. G. W. railway, so they could
put in pipes and connect the boiler
of the heating plant at the depot. and
also to erect a stand pipe for use in
furnishing water for their engines,
when their own supply gets low.

lumber, were unloaded at Gutenberg.
On that basis the raft contained over
IL 900, 900 feet and at the modest fig

W. f.. Thompson recently bought
forty acres of meadow land joining his
home place, from "A. w. NIitterer. Mr.
Thompson now owns 900 acres Of Har-

something. In his case it took a
lot of hard work and careful manage
ment. MIR. Thompson started out for
himself fifteen years ago with four
horses, a wagon and a few cows and
pigs. The first season he had no inn
plements, but borrowed his fathers.
His crops the first two years were al
most total failures, but he managed to
keep going until the fat years came,
and has prospered ever since. Nd

done as well, but it seems a remarkable
record to US.

NEW LIGHT ON
 AMENDMENT NO. 10.

The Fayetteville Daily throws some new light on proposed Amendment No. 10, as will be seen from the following taken from a recent issue of that pa per
 The republican state committee has taken stand agalnst the adoption of the proposed amend ment number 10 to the eonstitu- tion of the state. One ground is that being ln the minority. the republicans can have no voice in the expenditure of the money and therefore the party of great nor al ideas will oppose Improvements because 1t cannot get its hands into the cash drawer. Another position Is that doubt will be throw on the adoption of the amendment by the policy of the dominant party in refusing quail flied electors the right to vote on the question. We believe this position Is we'll taken. The fed- eral court has decided that the old poll tax amendment was not adopted and the supreme court of Arkansas has decided that an- other amendment that stands in precisely the same attitude was not adopted. The legislature ac- cepted this position as correct and resubmitted the amendment. In the face of all this, Attorney General Kirby has decided that the poll tax amendment IS in full force and effect. and unless something Is done to head off the movement. the ruling of the att torney general will be carried out in many places. In that event We regard 1t as certain that the federal court would decide that any amendment voted on was null and void, and there is scarcely less doubt that OUT own supreme court would hold tile sal He way If tie he-negroes are prohibited from voting because they have 10 p. t. receipt. theH the vote of every white man i'll the state could Hot put life into q constitutional amendment and foreign capital would refuse to come to ti1e state under such conditions. The first thing to be done by those who are most in- terested in the adoption of the amendments is to have the proper authorities notify whom 1t may concern that at the September election every male citizen who comes up to the qualifications prescribed by the original consti- tuition of 1874 shall have the right to vote. Until this is done 1t is wasting anunition to carry on a campaign i'll behalf of the adoption of amendment No. 10, or any other amendment.
