NOT SHOT, BUT sLUeeEo.
Correspondent at Britt in Error Con
corning Fight at Wesley.

Special to Times Repubilc3n
Wesley, Feb. lin the Saturday
special from Britt to the Times-Repub-
lican under the caption shooting al
Wesley we wish to say that your cor
respondent from there has been wrong
fully informed There was no shoot
ing done at Wesley at all. The facts are
these:
A young man by the name of Cam
bel! who came here from Chicago about
year ago, was loading some of his
goods in a car Friday preparatory to
leaving and the Powlson brothers were
helping him. They all got drunk and
city marshal came along and put the
younger Powson under arrest when the
older brother interferred and tried to
take him away from the marshal who
gave him q rap over the head. The
yonger brother was safely placed in the
city Jail where he was kept until Sat
urday morning to sober up. The county
attorney, Mr. Dickinson, of Algona. was
sent for and came over in the morning
and had him brought up before the city
mayor in behalf of the state for being
drunk and disorderly and he was fined
$25 and costs which he promptly paid
and went home wiser if not better
man. There was no shooting and no at
tempt to shoot by any one and there
was no attachment placed on any ones
goods And the action taken by our
marshal has the hearty approval by all
the better class Of citizens in our town
and vicinity.
Our city mayor, Mr.. Giddings, and
his marshal, Mr.. Cosgrove, are deter
mined that they will not tolerat so much
drunkenness and disorderly conduct on
our streets in the future as has been
going on in the past and the best citi-
zens of Wesley and vicinity are ready
to stand by them in any attempt they
may make to bring it to pass.

General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known

In supplying that demand with its ex-

Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.

Just now woman has the casting vote in deciding

country's cause depended upon the organization of
a national bank that could furnish funds for the
