PAYS $1,000 TO KEEP FARM.
Iowa Man Changes His Mind After
Deal is Made.

Burlington. July 9.-An evidence OF
the rapid increase in the value OF farm
lands in this part of Iowa was tran
saction which took place near Mount
Union, Iowa, the other day. Mr.. John
Dohrman, who owns large acreage
in that vicinity was asked to give a
price on his property. He did not wish
to sell, and feeling that he could name
a agure that would scare the custom
er away said $3.50 per acre. The would
be purchaser snapped him up at once
and paid him $4,000 down to bind the
bargain. Dohrman was taken back by
the quickness of the deal and after
thinking the matter over decided he
could not afford to let his land go at
that price, so he refunded the $4,000
and paid the would be purchaser
bonus Of $3.50 to let him out OF the
deal. The transaction would have
brought Mr.. Dohrman $4,000, but he
felt that he had gotten out Of a bad
deal by paying the man the $1,25O pen
atty. Land in the vicinity Of Burling-
ton is selling at from $3.50 to 5000 an
acre, and the price at first accepted by
Mr.. Dohrman probably tops the market
hereabouts for farming land.

BOOSTS CORN BY FRAUD.
Man Near Red Oak Buncoes Iowa Ag
ricuIturaIists With Cribbed Grain
as Tested Seed.
as Tested Seed

Vinton, July &c. D. Roberts, a
farmer residing near Red Oak, became
dissatisfied with the present market
price of corn, and decided to boost the
price of that very necessary farm pro-
duct After a close study of the various
farm jurnals he became convinced that
he could realize more real money from
his corn by selling it to the Iowa farm
ers as seed corn, than by selling 1T to
the local elevators. He at once order
ed circulars from the local printer ad-
vertising the merits of Roberts Yellow
Dent Seed Corn, and mailed them to
farmers all over the state. In a short
time orders began to roll in. He then
employed two or three boys to extract
two or three kernals from each ear IN
order to give it the appearance Of hav-
ing been tested. This corn he sold to
the unsuspecting farmers at $3.50 per
bushel, assuring them that 1t was test
ed seed corn, when in reality 1t was
taken from his own cribs, and pur-
cha sed from his neighbors at sixty
cents a bushel.
Several Benton county farmers pur-
stased this alleged seed corn and soon
discovered that they had been stung.
They took the matter up with County
Attorney Brown. Mr.. Brown placed it
in the hands of the state pure food
commissioner who soon ordered Rob
erts' arrest.
Sheriff Blair went to Red Oak and
found Roberts at his farm about
eleven miles from that city. Roberts
and two clerks were busily engaged
acknowledging the receipt of seed corn
orders. Mr. Blair experienced consider
able difficulty in bringing Roberts to
Vinton, as his attorneys Instituted ha-
beas corpus proceedings against him
A ftar a ohtinp the matter all day, the
sheriff finally succeeded in getting his
prisoner.
When Roberts found that his at
torneys could do nothing for him, he
pretended to become very Ill, but the
hard hearted sheriff made him travel
anyway.
, Roberts Is said to have sold between
nine and ten thousand bushels of corn
at $3.50 a bushel. Under the pure food
and drug act seed corn must test 80
per cent pure, but as Roberts corn re-
fused to grow the farmers do not know
what it tested, as they took his word
for its purity.

FAMOUS RACE
HORSE is DEAD
ONE OF THREE GREATEST STAND
ARD BRED SlREs THE WORLD
HAS KNOWN.

Indianola, July 9.-Allerton in his
day the greatest of trotters, is dead al
the farm of his owner, H. E. Hopper
He was "a years old. Veterinary sur
geons say he had no particular ailment
and attribute his death entirely to ole
age. Since retiring from the track
nearly eighteen years ago, he had been
kept at the Hopper farm here. His
record Of 2:09h was never beaten
with the old high wheeled sulky In
which he performed.
Allerton was one of the three great
est standard bred sires that the world
has ever known. He shared honors
with the famous Gambrino Wilkes and
Onward. All three of them sired more
than 200 colts with records of 2:30 OF
better. Before the present year ends
Allerton will have more of this class
of get than either of the other two.
Allerton came out Of obscurity into
fame He was the son of practically
unknown mare once owned by the ia
nous Nutwood stock farm at Dubu
qune and sold to G. w. Williams
twenty-four years ago for something
like SIS or 500. He soon showed his
class as a colt and with Axtell he
made reputation for Williams and
brought fame to his town of Indepen.
dence
Allerton had sensational career as
long as he was on the turf; he won
race after race and in his time was the
undisputed champion stallion trotter.
This horse was sold by Williams
several years ago to Harry E. Hopper
of Indianola for consideration said to
be $4,000. Williams was in financial
traits at the time because OF heavy
land investments. He put the pur,
chase of his stock farm at Galesburg,
ILL.,, up to Mr. Hopper, 81 want you to
have Allerton, any way. II want
Allerton to have good home for
the rest of his days and know you'll
give it to him." Mr.. Hopper bought
the famous old horse and with him
bought other horses worth 100000 or
more. The whole string was moved
to Indinola, where Allerton has been
at home ever since.
Allerton was beautiful animal and
one Of the greatest show horses that
ever lived. A few weeks ago he
seemed in perfect health. He had a
fine carriage, his body was perfect, his
legs were without blemish and he was
as regal as ever. He was not quite
"a years old then, and his handlers
considered him good for several years
more.
Allehton leaves a worthy son in
Redlac, who has all of Allerton's
beauty and grace and kingliness.

CONVENTION TO
Be HELD TUESDAY
REPUBLICANS TO SELECT FOUR
CANDIDATES FOR JUDGE OF
DISTRICT COURT.

Tuesday in Ottumwa promises to
be a busy day and especially so for
the men who live by the law, for the
Republican judicial convention is to
be held here, either in the court house
or the Garrick theater. The latter will
be used in the event that the court
room is in use by the hearing of the
Phillips proceedings. The outlook Is
good for full delegation. Ninety five
are accredited with credentials as dele
gates and therefore no small affair
will be held. The three judges, F. w.
Eichelberger, G. W. Vermilion and d.
NJ Anderson, who are candidates TO
succeed themselves, have secured
rooms in the Ballingall hotel for their
headquarters. Judge Eichelberger ar
rived today and the other two judges
Monday. The center of interest re-
wolves around the successor of Judge
Roberts, who is not candidate for
another term. Although there are four
candidates to be nominated, three OF
the incumbents wish to succeed them
selves and several attorneys are out
for places in the race. The convention
promises interest to the legal frater-
nifty and the public will watch the
outcome with interest as well.

BOYS PLAY DISASTROUS

Muscatine, July 1.-TWO atrocious
premeditated Fourth Of July accidents
were brought to the attention of the
police. A little boy named Ariel Light
aged4, and Sammy Klebe, aged 8,
were the victims. A crowd Of older
boys caught the little fellows, checked
them until they opened their mouths
and then stuck lighted fire cracker
in their mouths. The little fellows
were terribly burned when the crack
ers exploded. The checkers were
cannon crackers and the attending
physician states that 1t Is wonder
that they were not killed. AS 1t Is
their mouths are burned to blister
and one little fellow had all of his
teeth blown out. Prosecution will
follow.
