Boone, Jan. 1.-THE dead body Of
the late Frank Farrell was found I'M
der the ice of the Des Moines river,
Monday afternoon shortly before
O'Clock, where he had suicided early
in the morning. Farrell was a pronlill-
ent and wealthy Marcy township far
mer, and had often made threats to
commit suicide. He arose Monday mor-
ming and after bidding his wife fare
well. started off toward the river. She
asked him where he was going, and he
replied that he would return later She
started to follow him, but he, seeing
this, slipped away thru the woods and
made his getaway. Mrs. Farrell noti-
fed the neighbors and many Of the
tanners, Of the township, gathered to
search for the man.
No clue was secured until afternoon,
when near the Coal Valley crossing
evidences showed up that someone had
been there. Investigation proved this
to be true. Farrell had jumped into
an airhole, and his body went down
the river about thirty yards and was
lodged there. The ice had to be cut
away before the body could be re-
moved from the water.
He had often made threats OF sui
Gliding. but his family concluded that
1t was only idle talk Of an unbalanced
mind. and that he would eventually re-
cover from the illness. He was re-
spected among the farmers and in this
city, and his death has caused a sem
sation.

The case created. a sensation.
Muscatine went totally dry on New

weeks after the closing Of the saloons,
the liquor interests in that city will
begin the circulation of a petition Of

would fight this position and would be
busy opposing it for the next thirty
days. The court at Ottumwa, which
will hear the injunction cases against
the saloons there, refused to sign these
restraints earlier in the week, altho
the saloonkeepers signified their will

stated that he desired to hear the

I FRIENDS PLAY BANDITS.
Slrvsn Mcdonald, Of Fort Dodge, Re.
ceives Bad Fright.

Special TO Tlmes-RepuDucdn.
Boone, Jan. 14.-Irven Mcdonald, Of
Fort Dodge, recent visitor in this city,
knows what it is to get badly fright
ened. Irven was attacked by seven
teen masked bandits in this city Sat
urday evening and scared half to death
He would probably have been scared
the other half had it not been for the
laugh Of one Of the bandits.
A gang of the younger boys of the
city who knew Mcdonald well, hid
themselves in the alley near the Ger
man parochial school. Another friend
gdS Mcdonald out for walk and up
Story street the duet started. When
up several blocks this friend suggest
ed q walk east for short distance.
The friend led the unsuspecting youth
past the German school right into the
clutches of the masked bandits. With
q yell and howl which would bring an
ordinary cemetery to life, the masked
the friend had disappeared, frightened
and seventeen-inch horse pistols were
pointed at the Fort Dodge lad. The re-
volvers lacked cylinders and were as
harmless as could be, but Mcdonald
started down the street at forty-knot
clip But the joke was too much for
one OF the boys, and he emitted 8
hearty laugh. This voice sounded
familiar to Mcdonald, and he stopped
to investigate. He pulled the mask
from the face Of the follower and be-
held one of his best friends. The joke
was quickly explained and the lad
made to understand that nothing seri-
Gus was meant. He was not hard on
the bandits, and readily forgave them
for giving him the worst fright Of his
life.
