Boise IT.. 10000 81
The campaign of the "drys" In
Ada county has taken the form, in
part, OF a public announcement that
casts distinct reflection on Boise,
whether intentional or not. 1t was
pointed out that Boise had 27 sa-
looms as result of being in wet"
state and, therefore. in effect, that
it was not a desirable place in which
to live.
In order to ascertain just how lin
decent" Boise is because of its %
saloons. in comparison with other
leading cities. the Statesman wired
papers in cities of Iowa
prohibition state-asking for the
number of saloons in each.
The Statesman selected a prohibi-
tion state in order that the compar-
ison might be as strong as possible
against wet Boise" and wet" Ida
no, for If there is any state whose
towns should have the least number
of saloons It is certainly those hav-
ing prohibition laws.
Most of the towns from which the
Information was asked have about
the same population as Boise. The
result of the inquiry is given in the
foregoing tabuiated statement. The
figures showing the population are
taken from the latest reports.

Iowa has been under prohibition
since 1856 years. In that year
prohibitory law was passed that in
substance has been the law on the
subject in that state ever since. In
1927 years ago-prohibltion was
written into the Iowa constitution,
which was ratified by a popular ma
jority of more than 10000. The
blessings that had been expected TO
flow from prohibition has failed to
materiallEe, however. and Iowa was
finally compelled to admit that, at
least in the cities, It was a failure.
The admission took the form OF the
"mulct law" which has stood the
test OF the supreme court OF that
state. Under It anyone who has $500

church advised him to give the church
to be the thing to do, in the mind of
the harrassed old gentleman, SO In
1905 he made the first deed of a GER
tain number of acres to the church. a
matter Of about three hundred. Later
he made another deed for more land
to the church, and later he made the
third deed, correcting the others.
When this last was made the church
was to have the full possession of the
entire farm lands of the old man in
the event of his death, but while he
lived, he would still retain possession.
In round numbers the value of the
gift was about 100000 to $4,000.
Early in 1908 the relatives Of Nc
Culley and the guardian Of the old
gentleman filed petition to quiet the
title on the land. This action the
church people protested, on the
grounds that they held the deed refer
red to above. Petition and cross pc
tition was filed and finally the matter
was fixed for trial
The grounds on which the relatives
protested the action of tae old man
when he gave the deeds was that of
unsound mind, and the entire bulk OF
the testimony was to show whether OF
not the old man was in sufficient con
troll of his mind to realize his action

IMPORTANT CASE
WAS DECIDED.
Judge Bank Gives Decision in the

quest to Church by Hen
~ County Man.
THE RELATIVES WON
Estate Of About $4,000 Will Not 90
to the Church as the Owner
Was Declared to Have
Been Insane.
THE RELATIVES WON

A rather important and extensive
case was decided yesterday at Mt.
Pleasant by Judge Bank, involving the
sum of about $4,000 and mentioned as
follows in the News:
Today at two o'clock Judge Bank
handed down his decision in the case
of John McCulley VS.. the United Pres
byterian caurch of Winfield, in favor
OF the plaintiff.
This case is by far the most import
ant one that has come up in district
court here this term and there is more
money involved perhaps than in any
other case which has been settled in
the local court for many terms.
The history of the case is something
like this: In the year 1905 Mr.. John
McCulley at that time an old man, and
unmarried, lived with a tenant on a
farm of his near Winfield. The old
gentleman was the possessor of about
seven hundred acres of good Henry
county land. AS he grew older he Of
ten thought about this property and
what he should do with it when ,ae
died. During the time when the case
first began and prior to it, there had
come decided change in the nature
of Mr.. McCulley. During his early
and older life he had always been 8
kind-hearted man, with dumb brutes
especially did he take much pains to
see to their welfare. Later and in his
cid and that he had no family to which
about ten years ago, the old gentle
man showed the exactly opposite spir-
it. He was, according TO dozens Of
witnesses, extremely cruel and heart
less in everything, and especially with
animals.
About this time he was visited sew
eral times by field agents from an I'LL
nois college in the interests OF the fl
nancial end Of the school they repre-
scented. These men impressed upon
McCulley the fact that he was getting
old and hat he had no family to which
he could leave his money, and that he
should leave it to some Christian work
It seems that this was the first time
that the old gentleman had begun t.
think about this. He continued from
i this time on to ponder upon the sub
| ject until it became uppermost in hi:
mind, it seems.
Although he was member OF the
United Presbyterian church of Win
field, he had long since ceased to at
tend for some reason. Very probabl.
just because of one of his whims
which had become SO common with
him during the past few years. The
4 evidence showed that members of the

three boys and one girl.
Miss Maymie Hardy is suffering
with tonsil trouble.
Mrs. Noble Runner passed through
our village Wednesday.
News from Eugene City, Oregon,
announcing the marriage of Mr.. Luke
Scott, formerly of the powder works
settlement, came as great surprise,
as it makes his third marriage, his
late first wife being the mother OF
Mrs. Henry Phillips of this place,
his second wife having died two years
ago, she being sister to Miss
Mamyie Hardy of this village. Mr..
Scott is well known in Iowa, having
lived in Montrose and Mooar, for sew
eral years, going west nine years ago
on account of his wife's poor
health. She died with that dreaded
disease consumption, leaving two lit
tie baby girls. However, we wish
him good luck and happiness in the
far away west.
