S43 a Week for Eggs.

How would you like to pocket the

sents the size of purse with which
J. F. Fellows is presented by his

have brought nearer $54 per week

Establishing Ownership.

The trial of the c. A. Sylvester
liquor question at Charles City, took
place Saturday afternoon before JUS
tice Bradley.
The issue was whether certain liq-
uor found on the premises of c. A.
Sylvester was properly subject to
condemnation. The justice decided
after hearing the evidence that such
liquor should not be condemned and
destroyed, but should be returned to
the parties claiming the same.
The said liquor was shipped from
Minnesota. c. A. Sylvester had some
whiskey at his home and a case OF
beer at his shop. These were seized
besides some beer which belonged tC
Gus. Sylvester and to two farmers
The evidence brought out showed
that all was sent to the Sylvester
shop, where the men who had order
ed it could get it and they had wa
CONS there waiting to load it int
for the journey to their respective
homes. Attorney Lingenfelder ap
peared to represent the defense anC
County Attorney Lockwood handled
the state side.

attention Justice Bradley returned
the liquor to the four men VIII,

MAYOR SOAKS THE SOAKS.
Three Booze DestrOyers Taken Into
Custody Yesterday. Up For
Trial Today.

The mayors court was busy
place at o'clock this morning dur
ing the reception of three offenders
who pleaded guilty to the charge of
intoXication. There should have
been a quartet of booze fighters be-
fore His Honor" this morning, but
Billy BClander," remembering his
suspended Knoxville sentence, made
his get away.
John McElroy, Charles Hoeft and
Billy Bolander left the city yes-er-
day afternoon aboard a Milwaukee
train. The officers mistrusted that
Ionia was destined to be the end of
the trip and that the west bound
evening train would bring them back
again. 1t did. And it also brought
along several packages that were
carried in such comfortable manner
by the trio, that their actions spoke
louder than words. The officers form
ed a reception committee and took
McElroy and Hoeft into custody. b.
lander could not stand so much style
and decided to keep an engagement
out of town. McElroy and Hoeft each
took a Jail sentence. The former got
ten days and the latter fifteen days,
with a chance to break rock if a
suitable place is provided for it in
time. Hoeft has been before Mayor
Fitzgerald three times in ten days,
which is maintaining a good aver
age for a person who has a suspend
ed Knoxville sentence hanging over
him.
Phil Meighan was the third to take
off his hat and face the music. He
drew a fine of $500 and costs for
being found in a restaurant over
come with desire to sleep. His
fine was RENTED and he was allow
ed to go his way, after having fur
nished an affidavit setting forth
where he had purchased the liquor
that worked with such a soothing
effect. Meighan is the third offend
er, under the Fitzgerald administra-
ton, who has 'coughed up" the
necessary information, anent the
source of his liquor supply.-Charles

BOY IDENTIFIED.
Started for Pacific Coast Some Time
Ago but Came East Again.

The youth, who was killed by be-
ing run over by a Great Western
train at Waverly last week, and
who the authorities thought may be
from Dyersville, the name of this
city being found on articles on his
person, has been identified as Willie
Fries of Omaha. His fathers name
is Henry Fries, who is watch
man for the Union Pacific r. R. al
the bridge in that city. The picture
of the little girl found on his body,
was produced in the newspapers,
and proved to be that of a girl friend
at Oakland, Iowa, where the family
formerly resided, which led to estab-
fishing the identity of the unfortu-
nate youth. The tragic end of
young Fries is the old story of a
wandering boy. OF tender age, he
was inspired with thoughts of the
western plains and on April Is, he
left his home intending to go to the
western coast to work. For some
reason he did not make the trip
west, but coming east went as far as
Dubuque and it is presumed he was
working westward intending to re-
turn home when he met with his
fatal accident.

SHERIFF GOT LOAD OF BEER.
Barrels Kegs and Case Are All
Taken to County Jail to Await
Official Distribution.

The officers of the city and the
county did a rushing business about
noon today. AS a consequence a
load of beer was brought down the
street and lodged at the county
court house to await the decree of
some tribunal having jurisdiction
over such matters.
The beer taken consisted of two
barrels of bottled beer, two kegs and
one case, and was found in the home
of Stanko Janovich, who resides in
the house next to the gas plant.
These people are Montegarians
and have been living in the city for
some time. They have always had
drinkables at the house, and some
months ago when a wedding occur
ed there, a general Notification took
place lasting for two days. All the
officers knowing the inclination of
these people to drink have been len
lent with them.
During the last day or two little
too much of the elixir has been seen
going into the house and it was then
thought that they must be getting
it in to sell as so much could hardly
be consumed in a single household.
A search was accordingly made
with the above result.
Chief of police, T. D. Fluent also
arrested George Dunn today about
noon for drunkenness and lodged
him in the county bastile.-Charles

Buggy i'm a Blaze.

Waverly Republican,: A curious
accident happened to couple of
cur townsmen while driving out east
of town with a horse and top buggy.
When they were about half mile
out Will Dempsey's little girl called
to them saying, your buggy is on
fire. They were driving against a
strong east wind that prevented
them from smelling or hearing the
fire, which was in the back of the
buggy. When they stopped, the fire
was under good Roadway, having
burned the end out of the buggy
and most of the top which was let
down. The fire is supposed to have
started from pipe which one of the
men was smoking.

n Tragic Death.

Herman Klingfuss of Fayette
county, near the Bremen line, met a
tragic death last Friday while plow-
ing. The father, who was working a
quarter of a mile away, saw the
team stopping longer than he
thought was natural, and investigat-
ed. He was Mortified to find his son
dead and his neck beneath one or
the wheels of the sulky pillow. 1t is
supposed that the lad, who was
twelve years old, was thrown off the
seat in front of the wheel when the
pillow struck a stone; that he was
rendered unconscious and the wheel
pressed against his throat, causing
strangulation.-Waverly Independ-
