Clergyman a Poor Miner.

Waterloo, Feb. 22.-Rev. Noah Gar.
wick, formerly pastor of the Christian
church in Waterloo and at one time
candidate for mayor on the socialist
ticket says he got gloriously stung on
a piece of mining stock that he took
hold of in 1908. In his answer in the
case entitled j. T. Meredith versus
Noah Garwick, in which the former
sues on q promissory note, Rev. Mr..
Garwick sets forth his side of the
case.
According to the petitioner he exc
cnted note for $1,000 on March 81,
1908, in favor of E. l.. Briggs, which
was in payment for 1000 shares of
stock then selling at 70 cents a share
The deal WAS made with the proviso,
he says, that the stock was to be de-
livered to him when it was selling at
S1.O0 share. He claims that the
stock was never delivered, therefore
his note should be considered null
and void.

TO HONOR REAL PIONEER.
Grave of Mrs. Lott, Near Stratford,
Will be Suitably Marked by
Old Settlers,

Webster City, Feb. "a movement
is on foot and gives promise of early
consummation for the erection of a
monument over the grave of Mrs.
Lott, the first white woman whose feet
ever trod this section Of Iowa This
grave is located east of Stradford, Just
a half mile over the line into Webster
county and near the mouth of the
Boone river. Funds for the erection of
this monument will be donated by the
Old Settlers association of Hamilton
county and by the boards of super
visors of Hamilton and Webster coun-
ties.
A large part of the credit for the
fulfllment of plans for the erection of
this monument will be due to Editor
T. c. Runkle Of the Stanhope Mail
who is secretary of the Old Settlers
association. Mr.. Runkle has spent some
time and much effort interesting the
boards of supervisors of Hamilton
and Webster counties in the matter.
The Hamilton county board has signi-
fed its willingness to bear it's share of
the expense, but has asked that the
Webster county board take the initia-
tive as the grave of Mrs. Lott lies in
Webster county.
The movement for the erection of
this monument was started two years
ago at the annual picnic of the Old
Settlers association at Bells mill.

CHILDREN'S HUSBANDS AND
WIVES HOLD MEETING.

twelve are not common in these days,
and it is still more notable when
twelve children in one family attain

twelve children, all of them Of mature
age. In connection with the admins
tration of Mr.. Loves estate there
were assembled in the office of c. F..
Kimball in this city few days ago
the widow, all of the twelve children
and the husbands and wives of all the
children, except the wives of three IF
the sons, two residents of Colorado
and the other in Harrison county. The
company included therefore twenty
two persons.
Mr.. Lowe left to his heirs farm of
about $50 acres, besides other proper
ty. Without single dissension an
agreement was reached, whereby the
estate was given to the widow during
the remainder of her life At her death
it is to be equally partitioned between
the twelve children. This agreement
was embodied in probate proceedings,
which have been instituted in the dis
trict court.

Mrs. Pettit's grandfather was native

appointed who converted the real es-
tate into money and deposited it in a

heirs, each of whom would inherit
equally. OF these Mrs. Petit and her
