Picking Corn BY Machinery.

The days of picking corn by hand
will soon be a thing of the past, and
history in the grain harvest field be
repeated in the corn field. A prac-
teal machine for the purpose of
picking and husking corn has now
been perfected, as is shown by the
Illustration of scene photographed
Monday afternoon of this week at
the field of |. j. Ellison, an enter
prising young farmer residing just
north of town. 1t is the first har-
vester of the kind to be utilized in
the farming section of the immedi-
ate surrounding territory and has
attracted many interested farmers
and others TO Mr.. Ellison's field dur
ing the few days it has been in
operation. The machine gathers the
corn from the stalks, husks ii and
delivers it clean and bright to the
wagon, in a condition that is not
approached by the old hand method.
One man is all that is required on
the corn picker, which appears to
be easier to manage and operate
than the modern small grain har-
Vester and binder. At least two
wagons are required TO receive the
corn from the picker and to haul
1t to the cribs. From seven to nine
acres are worked or covered in a
day, and not any more if as much
corn is left in the field as by the
land process of gathering. The ma
chimes, which naturally have to be
built strong and heavy and require
live horses to pull, cost 1925. The
farmers who witnessed the working
or the machine on Monday consider
ed 1t a success in every way.
We notice by a newspaper report
that in the immediate vicinity of
Bows there are thirty of these ma
chimes in use. Undoubtedly by an
other season they will be familiar
sights in this vicinity and within a
very short time it will be the excep-
tlon where field of corn is picked
by hand.-Mt. Vernon Hawkeye.

A Terrible Accident.

Little William, the five year old
child of Mr. and Mrs. c. w. Sorte-
berg, met with an accident Saturday
afternoon which will leave him a
cripple for life, and the sympathy OF
all goes out to the lad who must
henceforth face the world with only
one hand, although yet too young to
fully comprehend the misfortune
which has overtaken him.
William and Olson's little boy ac-
companied Mr.. Ole Tollefson to the
creamery for some butter milk. On
the floor, within easy reach, stood
the power ice cream freezer, which
had just been started, the butter
maker standing not three feet away
and still nearer stood Mr.. Tollefson.
Inside the freezer is an auger shap-
ed shaft which forces the ice cream
through a tiny nickle plated spout
about three inches in diameter. 1t
was an inviting opening for an in
quisitive child to stick his hand in
to, especially as no dangerous ma
chinery was visible, and before the
tystanders could guess his intention,
the tiny left hand was thrust into
the opening and in an instant was
ground to pulp by the swiftly re-
volving blade. The machinery was
stopped at once, but it was too late.

A TERRIBLE SHOOTING.
A Boy of Twelve Shoots His Little
Brother OF Seven, Ac-
ciden!ally.

The people of this city were startl-
ed by the report that Willie Zu-
brod had shot his little brother,
Walter and that the little fellow was
dead. The report was soon confirm
ed and the Coroner, DR.. E. n. John
ston, was sent for and in due time
arrived and called a jury. The facts
attending the tragedy were placed
befre the jury and they found a ver-
dict of accidental shooting"
Just how it happened that a boy
of twelve was entrusted with load
ed shot gun, that these two little
fellows were alone at the time, what
there was that melted the act, if
anything, is not made clear. 1t is
distressing to feel that mere chill
dren are entrusted with loaded fire.

things may occur either as the re-
suit of carelesSness or lack of dis

MURDER TRIAL AT MASON CITY
Trial of j. S. Shearer for Murder
OF Henry Lucas Began
Last Monday.

One of the most important MUIR
der trials that has ever been fought
out in the courts of northern Iowa
is on trial. j. S. Shearer, man aged
81 years, is accused and under in
dictment for the murder of Henry
Lucas. On October goth, Shearer,
according to the grand Jurors re-
port, "feloniously did strike, beat
an: bruise the said Henry Lucas on
and about the head, with a certain
deadly weapon, the particular de-
scription of which is to the grand
jury unknown, which he, then and
there held in his hand, inflicted then
and there in the manner aforesaid,
several mortal wounds with the in
tent and in the manner aforesaid,
the said Henry Lucas then and
there died.
Possibly never has case been
tried where the conditions were like
this one. The only one who claims
to know all the circumstances con-
nected with the murder is Harry
Parsons. He is a cousin CT ]. S.
Shearer. He is far from being a
foolish young man but he does not
possess strong character.
He testified that he was with
Shearer when Lucas was killed, that
he was in the buggy when they
drove near where Lucas was walk
ing along, that Shearer got out and
walked up behind Lucas and struck
him down. After Lucas fell Shearer
told Parsons to drive up to where
TIE body lay and he did. The body
was then lifted into the buggy and
placed on the seat. Shearer then
got into the buggy and they drove
about half a mile east and a half
mile north through a pasture where
the body was dumped out of the
buggy and Shearer then dragged it
into the woods.
This is Parsons story in brief.
The legal fight will be as to the
amount of creditability that can be
given the story of boy of unsound
mind whom the defendants will en-
deavor to make out as an accom-
plice if crime was committed.
This phase of the question will be
the legal tangle that will be deter
mined by point of law that is sure
to be raised and Judge Kelley will
be asked to rule upon.
The fact of the finding of the
body and its identity is all admitted
An effort was made to secure a con-
fession from Shearer but he has al
ways claimed that he was innocent
1t will be remembered that it was
in connection with the Shearer af-
fair that the diamond robber fake"
was started. The sheriff put a da-
mond robber, or reported that lie
did, in the cell adjoining the Shear
er cell. The diamond robber, who
was none other than a Pinkerton
detective worked with Shearer
for two weeks trying to get him in
some kind of criminal compro-
mise, but it was of no avail 1t was
through Harry Parsons that Shearer
was arrested.

Some Fine Hens.

Glen Schmid has bunch of hens

cord they made in egg production
during the past ten months. Janu-

April, 267; May 156; June, III;
July, 1914; August, 1872; September
1872; October, III. This makes a
total of 1920 eggs or 125 dozen. He
states that these hens have produc-
ed these eggs with no extra care and
that they have been fed only on la
BILE scraps, etc. 1t makes no differ
ence as to what they have been fed
but it very apparent that, with eggs
at their present price, hens of this
kind are valuable property.-Elgin

Did Some Marvellous Shooting.

Capt. George E, Bartlett, the famous
shot and one of the greatest living ex-
perts with firearms, was in Montpelier
Wednesday, representing the Peters
Cartridge Co. During the afternoon he
gave an exhibition Of his skill as a
marksman at the old ball grounds. AS
strong wind was blowing and it was
threatening rain, the exhibition was not
as successful as it otherwise would have
been. However, MI. Bartlett demon
strared that he is an expert with fire
arms. Space prevents us from enumer-
aGing all the feats he did with rifle and
shot gun, but very interesting one was
the piercing of piece of boiler plate x
inch thick and ~ inches square, while
thrown into mid-air. The 5000 bullet
bored hole through the steel almost as
smooth as if it had been drilled.
During the exhibition he gave a very
instructive talk on the various kinds Of
powder and cartridges manufactured by
the Peters Co., and explained why they
are superior to the ammunition made
by some other companies.
The captain is a most genial fellow
and can certainly give interesting
dope" on firearms and powder.

John A. Topper, manager of the
Bear Lake Power company, received
notice from Washington few days
ago that patent had been granted
him for his new electric heater, for
which many advantages are claimed
over other heaters now in use. A
number of Mr.. Tupper's heaters were
used in Montpelier last winter and
they gave the best of satisfaction.
Mr.. Topper states that company
will be organized for the purpose OF
manufacturing his heaters and he
hopes to have some of them on the
market this winter. This heater il
constructed on q different principal
than any other electric heater now
manufactured and the efficiency is
claimed by Mr.. Topper to be from Al
to so per cent greater, for the
amount of electric current used, than
any other electric heater on the
market.
