are to the effect that Keokuk is ia
vored for the vacancy made by the
mastering out of the company at
Newton. Iowa, and enthusiasts here
Who have been corresponding with
proper authorities believe that sue
cess is soon to crown their efforts.
1t means that Keokuk may again
have company of National Guards,
something the city has not had since
the we'll remembered Company A
laid down its arms. Nothing definite
either way, however, has been re-
ceived, and the city's application is
now under consideration
The minimum required by law for a
company is fifty-eight enlisted men
and three officers. The company
would have to have a drill hall G6xS0
feet or more, the same heated by
other means than stoves, and the
company must control it. The state
allows $500 a year for any Armory
of this sort. If IS per cent of the
members are present for drill dur
ing the year the company is entitled
to $500 miscellaneous allowance The
company commander is entitled to
$100 a year for postage. etc and the
company is entitled to 500 per
/ year for range.

that they must appear in the superior

requires tat these notices must be

James BIdntOn and Others AC-
quilted of Noble Murder
At Jackson.

After being out twenty four
hours, the jury in the case of the
Commonwealth against James
Blanton and others, charged with
the murder of Moss Noble, at an
election last November, on Quick
sand creek, Breathitt county, re-
turned verdict of not guilty and
the four defendants were discharg-
ed from custody.
The defendants relied on their
plea of self-defense, which was
upheld by the jury. The trial
lasted nine days, and was one of
the most noted in the criminal
annals of Breathitt county. The
court room was crowded all
through the trial, and great ar
ray of legal talent was engaged in
the case. Three of the defendants
are sons of County Attorney Blan-
ton. Special Judge Kirk, of
Pikeville, presided at the trial in
the absence of Judge ID. b. Red
wine, who was prevented by
illness.
The elimination of the Blahton
trial and the allowing of bond to
John Davidson and three others
accused of the assassination of
John Abner have served as a
quietus to strained conditions, and
matters have settled down to a
normal basis.

GEM FIELDS PROVE WEALTHY
Germans Discover They Have Bonanza
In Southwest Africa-Govern-
ment Gets Hall.

Berlin.-Since the resignation of
Colonial Secretary Dernburg, one line
of his policy has been justified by re-
markable statistics published concern
ing the diamond fields of Luderitz Bay
in German Southwest Africa. In the
current year diamonds worth $5,0OO,-
900 have been turned out, and half
of that, according to the contract
framed by Herr Dernburg, goes to the
government of the colony.
All told. these German diamond
fields are proving far more valuable
than was expected. At first the entire
value of the fields was set down at
$50. 100000. but now one claim alone
has been proved to be worth more
than that.
