Well Known Keokuk County Man
Leaves Home and Friends.

G. !. Farmer, a well known and re.
spected farmer OF Keokuk county,
living six miles south of Sigourney,
is missing and the whereabouts OF
the man is a puzzle to relatives and
friends. He was last seen at Sig.
Quincy on Tuesday and since then
nothing is known of him.
On last Tuesday morning Mr.. Far.
mer was brought to Sigourney by one
of his boys and 1t was then his in
tention to 60 to Des Moines, where
he had business to transact. He had
purchased threshing outfit and was
on his way TO Des Moines, so he
stated to his family to readjust some
difference between himself and the
company. This was the last time
that the family saw him.
On Wednesday a letter was re
ceived by his wife, stating that he
would be seen no more. as he was
going away from this land. Enclosed
were his bank and check books and
his money. He asked that his father
look after the disposing of the farm
and other things for his wife. This
was the first knowledge the family
or relatives had that Mr.. Farmer
had left the country, or had even
thought of leaving #.
Mr.. and Mrs, Farmer and younger
son had JUST returned from okla.
homa on Friday, Feb. A, where they
had been visiting at the home of the
lady's parents. Mr.. Farmer did not
act in any unusual way, and every
thing went Well. He was good
provider, owned his home, and be-
sides had threshipg outfit and saw
MILL He was known and well liked
by most everyone in that part OF
the county. No trouble had existed
in the family and where the man has
gone is not known.
After receiving the letter the fam.
lily and relatives at once commenced
search for the missing man. He
had been complaining little of late
of i'll health and it is thought by
some that he has possibly lost his
mind. Roscoe Farmer. son of the
missing man, and Mrs. s. c. Ulin, OF
Sigourney, were in Oskaloosa Friday
to find some trace of his where
abouts. Mr.. C. |. Farmer is about

PRESTON IS UPHELD
Oskaloosa Judge Sustained by Iowa
Supreme Court.

The decision of the Henderson case
from Marengo in the supreme court
was source of congratulation to
Judge Byron Preston, of Oskaloosa.
Mayor Henderson was tried by spe-
cial arrangement before Judge Pres
ton under a new statute in Iowa, and
without precedent Judge Preston put
his own Interpretation on the law
and rendered his decision in the dis
trict court at tMarengo. An appeal
was taken to the supreme court and
it has just handed down am opinion
sustaining Judge Preston on every
point. "
Mayor A. M. Henderson, of Maren-
go, was tried for intoxication in office,
and by Judge Prestonis ruling was re-
moved from Office under the Cosson
law.
In appealing to the supreme court
the validity and constittuionality of
the law were attacked but the SUI
preme justices held that the law was
sound and should stand. .,#
l1lS SNIuSHCe III IllS ease WdS Iudl
Mayor Henderson was a drinking
man. He admitted this, but denied
that he ever became intoxicated. Tes-
timony was introduced, however, which
convinced the trial court that he had
been intoxicated in Office, and he was
accordingly removed.
Over this phase of the case Mayor
Henderson's attorneys argued that the
court should distinguish between mis-
conduct in Office and in private. They
asserted that whatever the mayor did
while not on duty could not be charg-
ed up to him as an official.
Chief Justice Deemer in his opinion
dismissed this, however, by saying
that the court could not understand
how person could be privately in
toxicated and officially sober" The
duties of a mayor are continuous, it
was held, and he was responsible for
his acts as an official all of the time.
