w. S. Dennis has returned from
Frentress lake, where he had been
spending few days as guest OF w.
G. Kelley at his cottage there. Thurs
day Mr. Dennis made one of the best
catches of black bass which has been

fished comparatively short time and
when he left the grounds for the cot

fine big black bass, nothing the like

Story City.
The committee from the Commercial
club, which is working to secure the
right-of- way for the proposed inter-
urban, has every reason to feel encour-
aged at the progress made. During the
past week the property owners to the
south of town have been interviewed
and as far as we can learn, all are
inclined to take a reasonable view Of
the railroad proposition. 1t is pre-
sumed that the committee will be
equally successful among those whose
farms the road crosses to the north of
town.
Carroll.
People at Carroll have been watch
ing quarrel that has been going on
for two years between the Northwest
ern and Great Western companies.
They have asked repeatedly for joint
service between the two companies,
but without avail. The result Is that
they have petitioned the railroad COM
mission for an order compelling the
lines to switch from one to another.
The trouble arose over the right OF
way in the city, which the Great West
ern secured over the protest and man
euvers of the Northwestern, securing
even closer depot facilities than the
older road.

The indications at this time are that
there will be a fine showing Of hogs

the breeders were detained from COM

year there is SO far no disease heard

thoroughly cleaned last year and dis
infected and will be disinfected this

from disease.

Waterloo.
October Is, 16 and II, Waterloo, will

which will be in session at that time.
Waterloo is fortunate in getting this
convention, 1t not only brings an
enormous amount of visitors to the
city, but it brings those who spend
their money. The dry goods stores
will in all probability do the largest
amount of business in their history
during these three days, while the

Along in the early afternoon, Steele
went home and taking knife he cut
two bad wounds in his side. The
knife was not keen enough Ito carry
out what he wanted so he stepped in
to the yard and got hold of a board
thru which several nails had been
driven. Returning to the house he
took hold of one end of the board and
drove the nails into his face and head
by beating the nails into his face. The
room where the attempt was made
was saturated with blood and the
blood had spurted as high as the cell
ing.
The man continued to beat himself
with the board until the loss of blood
weakened him to such an extent that
he was unable to do SO further The
neighbors were notified and they called
Chief Woofter who hurried to the home
and summoned DR.. Clutch
The man was in fearful shape and
is not yet past the danger point tho
it is thought that he will recover. One
of his little boys had taken some
money the old gentleman had hidden
away and this lead him to the act it is
thought. When the police asked him
why he had tried to do away with him.
self he remarked that he wanted to find
out If he was considered an outlaw.
Steele has been working at the pop
factory. where he was engaged in
washing bottles. He is cripple and
about so wears of age. The family have
lived in poor circumstances and the
loss of the money it is supposed
caused him to become temporarily in
sane.
