Pig SNOUY AFFAIR
BEFORE OFFICIALS
Burlington Man Indignant Because he
Bit on an Iron Ring in Pig snout
in Burlington "Gros
Shop"
LOSES HALF A TOOTH
State House People Deny Authority
in Settling Complaint of Man
With Penchant for Beer
and Pork.

A citizen of Burlington with a pen
chant for beer and picked pigs shouts
hied himself to Burlington "grog
shop" one day last week, picked a
picked pigs snout off the free lunch
counter and purchased pint of beer
And as result thereof the citizen
lost half tooth, and the state health
board and the state food and dairy de-
partment are at "outs. to decide
whose job it is to right the citizen s
wrongs.
And the cause of all is that the
butcher in slaughtering the poor pork
er whose picked snout the Burlington
citizen picked from the free lunch
counter, forgot to remove all of the
iron ring which had been placed in
the pigs nose, but left piece hidden
In the flesh.
Hence, the hungry citizen, while
munching away on the picked snout
between quaffs of beer, bit on the
hidden section of the iron ring-bit
on it so hard. in fact, that he broke
off the end Of one tooth, and Jared
several others from their moorings.

Count Ten on Every One he
Drops Next Week During
Campaign.
W. K. RAY, REFEREE
Not Since the Time of Billy Sundays
Visit Here, Has Y. M. C, A.
Secured Such Strong
Speaker.

Announcement was made at last
Sundays mems meeting at the Y. M.
z. A. OF special evangelistic meet
ings during the week of October 9,
and ending October 16. This month
is known as miracle month because
OF the character of the meetings and
more particularly the speakers. Won
derful transformations are often seen
In the lives of men, and especially is
this true of Mr. ALI Allen and Mr. w.
K. Ray, both converted from the
ranks of not only ordinary sinners but
from that class who find themselves
victims of appetites over which they
have no control.
Not since Billy Sunday was in Keo-
kuk has the Y. NJ c. A been so for
tunate as to secure such characters
tic speakers as are promised for next
weeks meetings. Mr. Allen has won
both the weller and middle-weight
championship of Canada and held such
honors until he retired from the prize
ring. In telling the story Of his life
he says he was defeated, however by
Booze and took the Kelley cure
and did everything to break away
from the habit but nothing helped
him until he staggered into the Tor
rey-Alexander meetings at ottawa, at
which time he was converted
Mr.. Ray who comes as assistant to
Mr. Allen, was also converted from
drunkard's life and will give personal
attention to the shop meetings to be
held during the week at the Hawk
eye Pearl Button Co., Ellsworth
Bending Works, Carriers Lumber
Mills, Keokuk Box Company and other
places where large numbers of men
are employed.
Both OF these gentlemen will have
charge of the meetings on October 9
and October 1G, and will also be en-
gagged to address the congregations of
four Of the churches in the city during
their stay here All of these meet
ings should be full Of interest to the
men of Keokuk and no doubt there
will be a large attendance wherever
these men speak. especially a, the Y.
NJ. C. A. auditorium.

Too Much Booze Under His Skin,
Causes w. E. koontz From H.
inois Town to Drive on Car
Tracks.
TROLLEY STRUCK WAGON
koontz Goes Out on His Right Leg,
Holds to the Nag but the Beast
Gets Away and Causes
Excitement.

Onlookers to the runaway thought
w. e. koontz, a man living near Car
thage, was seriously hurt, probably
killed last evening at five minutes of
eight, when he was thrown from his
light phaeton between Eighth and
Ninth on Main street. Koontz who
was Intoxicated, was driving along
the car tracks. Motorman Lang rang
the bell as he approached the vehicle
from the rear and thought TN
Koontz would know enough to turn
out of the way and let the trolley
past, not knowing that the Illinois man
was drunk.
The car struck the side Of the rig
knocking 1t over and spilling Koontz
out into the roadway, but the Car
TRACE man held onto the reins until
the frightened horse dashed off down
the street and was stopped between
Fourth and Fifth.
Koontz' right leg was quite badly
skinned up and this morning was in
bad shape and stiff from not being at
tended to. He was carried into bak-
cry between Eighth and Ninth street
last night and several thought that
the man had been seriously MANNED
when the car hit the buggy and he was
thrown out.
The police patrol was called and
Koontz taken to the police station
and locked up for the night.

From the Butte (Montana) Miner"
the following obituary OF Col. Jas. A.
Wall, former Keokukian is taken
and will be of interest to many older
friends of the late military gentle
man and one-time citizen:
Following an attack upon the heart
while on a Centerville car early last

time superintendent OF Indian affairs
for Montana and Idaho, died before
medical assistance could be secured
Passengers on the car did everything
possible but were unable to revive
him. The body was removed to Sher-

craved Revenge.

Peeved at this unhappy ending of
his planned joyous party, the citizen
craving revenge and seeking balm for
his aching molars, hurried to the Of
fee OF DR.. Moerke, president of the
state health board. The citizen
thought the president of the state
health board would be the proper man
to see Putting pieces of iron in pick
led pigs shouts, he believed, was an
act endangering public health, hence
it was job for the health board.
But DR.. Moerke couldn't discover
how he had any authority In the affair,
so he sent the injured citizen to the
Office of NJ E. Flynn, the inspector
for the state food and dairy depart
ment, also resident Of Burlington.
He opined that the case was strictly
one of impure and adulterated food.
Inspector Flynn thought 1t might be
but he was doubtful So he told the
citizen to preserve the picked pigs
snout and the pigment Of iron, while
he wrote to Commissioner Barney in
Des Moines for Instructions

A number who might have, have not

present each evening to take in the
carnival and enjoy the program in

give an exhibition in the pool, COM

appearing on the surface and other
interesting nautical stunts.
