Grew Out Of Incident at Mess Table
State Board Orders Saunders to
Discharge Mekaig.

Fort Madison, Aug. 30.-Deputy ]. F..
ed with the state penitentiary. has been
discharged by Warden Saunders for
cruelty to the prisoners. The warden
took the action after receiving impera-
control to do so. The case is an inter-
esting one.
Last Saturday while at dinner,
colored convict, just admitted to the
prison and unacquainted with the rules,
passed bowl to another convict with
his forefnger placed inside the rim OF
the vessel. This is against the prison
rules and is not tolerated by the pris-
oners themselves. All old convicts
know the rule and respect it.
Charged With Assault.
A white prisoner sitting next to the
negro, observing the infraction, drew
back and hit the darkey a singing
blow in the face. Instantly deputies
had both men in charge leading them
away. Deputy McKaig escorted the
white prisoner, and in doing so he
gave him slight tap on the shoulder
with his loaded cane to make him
move faster. The convict angrily said
to tho deputy over his shoulder:
What are you hitting me for?
have done nothing to you" The re-
port to the board Of control states
that McKaig then knocked the pris-
oner senseless with his loaded cane.
1t is alleged that this is the third
time McKaig has assaulted a prisoner
with a weapon. McKaig claims he
acted in self defense.

but seemed to have no effect in deter
ing people from coming to the
grounds.
1t was Des lMoines day at the fair
and thousands of city people braved
the rain to view tho fair. For many
this was their only opportunity, as
many of the business men granted half
or whole days to their employees for
that day only.
For a while after the gates were
opened things looked discourasing TO
the fair officials. The crowds were
coming slowly. the rain came harder
and it looked as If it was to be an all
day downpour.
Then the clouds broke and the show
ers were but occasional, bringing the
people out by the thousands. The fair
officials predicted much larger crowd
than attended on Des Mones day last
year There was no IL o'clock check
on the gates as usual, but officials esti-
mated at noon ~that the attendance to

Dougherty, Aug. 30.-Eleven years
ago this summer Mr.. j. j. Beecher laid
300 rods of tile on his farm near mere,
and on what is known as the Colby
farm lying between this town ana
Rockwell, comprising three quarter
sections, there have been tile surveys
made this season totalinS twenty-nine
miles much of the thing being already
finished. This tells the story OF the de-
yelopment of land drainage in south
east Cerro Gordo. Beecher having led
off in the idea OF tile drainage in this
part of the country.
Not so much of this kind of work has
of northern Iowa until within the past
few months but the recent activity In
this line if persisted in little While
will put the farms here in as goou

thing is noticeable in all these land
sales, nobody ever sell farm but that
he learns a few days after the deal is
made that another buyer was about to
take the farm at a figure five or ten
dollar per acre higher than that for

may be.
