Decides Judge Towner.

BEDFORD, Iowa, Dec. 22.-Judge
Towner rendered decision in the dis.

of the result of the official canvas of
election returns showing the number
of votes cast for each candidate in
each precinct.
In Taylor county the board of super

that the canvassing board shall Make
abstracts stating the number OF
ballots cast in the county by each pc.
litical party, separately for each of
fice'' nearest the total number of bal
lots cast in the county and that the
publishing of the vote cast for each
candidate in each precinct was not nee.

The publishers of the Taylor coun-
~ official newspapers took the stand
that the number of ballots cast in each
precinct for each candidate must be
! published and demanded copy therefor
from the county auditor This was re-
fused and action was brought.
Judge Towner's decision is plain
and to the point and leaves no issue
unsettled. The board must publish
the full vote This means several hun.
dred dollars each year for he pub.

Some Changes Which VIII Take Place
Next Year Which Are of In
terest to Local En-
thusiasts.
THE BALL CAN BE TEED
After Driving Out Of Bounds
the State Tournament Which
viii be Held at ottum.
wa Next Year.

Although Keokuk golfers .,ave been
distracted from their favorite game by
the cold winds OF winter and the pet
clubs have long been .ulled to their
winters sleep, yet there is something
TO think of during these months.
The new rules under which the IAN.
Gent and honorable game will be
played next season are out and they
require some study TO be thoroughly
understood and lived up to.
The revised rules will, no doubt be
adopted by the United States Golf AS.
sociation at its annual meeting in jan
uary, especially as many of the sug-
gestions made by that body have been
adopted by the rules committee. The
principal change suggested was the
calling for loss of stroke as a dis.
lance If ball was driven out of
bounds from the tee. This would
practically have made the penalty for
driving out OF bounds the same as
for lost ball, for 1t would in most
cases have meant the certain loss OF
the hole. The general meeting thought
this too drastic and virtually retained
the old ruling.

Ball Must be Teed.


One change was made, however. I'm
der the new rules, player after driv-
ing ont of bounds will tee a ball in
stead of dropping it. The United States
Golf Association proposed rule to
the effect that the loss OF ball in
match play should not involve the loss
of the hole. But this was altogether
too radical. The suggested alteration
received very little support, aud so the
rule will remain at match play as it
was. namely, that the loss of ball
means the loss of hole. The stymie
has been retained, the proposal to abol-
ish it being voted down.
One of the important changes made
in the rules is that relating TO putting.
The amended rule says: The line of
put must not be touched except with
the club Immediately in front of the
bali in the act of addressing it." The
penalty for a breach of this rule is the
loss of the holes. The habit of brush
ing the line of the put was carried TO
an alarming extent.
Keokuk golfers expect bigger sea-
son than ever in 1909 and with the
improvements made during the past
summer the year should be the most
successful one in the history of the
organization.
The Iowa State tournament is TO be
held in Ottumwa and quite number
of Keoluk players will probably be
present to play during the tournament
week.

MAN ARRESTED
NOT BARNETT

Constable Frank Stewart returned
Saturday from New Orleans, where
he went for kid" Barnett, a young
white man who is wanted here on a
charge of robbery and who was sup
posed to be under arrest there. When
Constable Stewart arrived there he
learned that the man was not Barnett.
The police of New Orleans arrested
the man, whom they say has police
record. They were somewhat mixed
in the matter hoover, and believing
their prisoner to be Barnett, telegraph
ed Constable Stewart to come for
him. The constable secured requisi-
ton papers at Little Rock before he
went to the Crescent City. He was
greatly disappointed at the prisoner
being the wrong man.
w. D. Hearn, the popular pres
ident of the Bank of Pine Bluff,
who has been quite sick for several
days with la grippe, was much bet

hope for his speedy recovery.
