Shipped Immature Calves.

Because they shipped calves from
Tripoli over the railroads while the
animals were immature, A. H.
Panzer and D. E. Norman, residents
of Bremen county, were arraigned
and pleaded guilty to the charge be-
fore Judge Henry Reed, in federal
court here yesterday. A. H. Panzer
was fined S190 and d. e. Norman
was ordered to pay a $500 fiue and
costs of the case after pleading gull
ty to two different counts. Accord
ing to provision of the state law of
Iowa, no shippers are allowed to send
calves under three weeks of age in
railroad cars. It was alleged that
the two defendants shipped animals
when they were only a week old.
The two indictments against Norman
were consolidated for trial and the
judgment of the court rendered as
mentioned above. Farmers and buy
ers in Bremen county have shipped
many carloads of stock to Chicago
this year and Tripoli has become the
center of large stock raising COM

of the shipping laws during the past

STEP MOTHER ABUSES CHILD.
Little S-Year-Old Girl Applies for
Protection at a Home in
Charles City.

Yesterday noon little eight year
cid girl, face tear stained but with
her mind firmly resolved, knocked
timidly at the door of the residence
OF one of the city's prominent homes
and told story of abuse and neglect
that should cause the just wrath of
every man and woman in the city to
rise up in definite action which will
wipe out such occurrences and condi-
lions. She wanted home. What a
pitiable cry that was; little eight
year old tot calling for home in
Charles City, noted for its reputation
of "A City of Homes" She was a
bright little miss, intelligent and
sweet looking and the people at the
door she came for help and sympathy
We're at first unable to see how any
one could mistreat her. MY moth
er was mean to me" said the little
NIT of humanity. 1t was evident that
no real mother could be mean to the
child and the facts developed when
it was learned that the old story of
a mama gone to heaven and another
taking her place had reenacted it's
tragedy again.
The father was called in commune
cation and told the same tale as the
little one. He was hard working
and worthy man, heartsick at the
abuse of his baby daughter and he
asked that they aid him in finding
place where she could live with
aut the abuse of foster parent, whose
humanity had so dried up that she
would stop to make life burden for
the child.
There is no probation officer in
Charles City since the departure of
Rev. Hess, former pastor of the
Christian church and the need of one
and the fact that We should have one
at once was never more apparent.
Another lady volunteered to take
care of the child until a suitable
home was discovered and the father
had expressed willingness to a sepa-
ration for the sake of his little
daughter and sign her away to par
ents for adoption.
Here again the bitter gaul poses
sing the woman's heart comes to
light. She peremtorily orders her
husband to go after the child and
not to return without it. 1t was a
case OF either enduring a miniature
hell az home or repossess the little
one and return it to the venom and
wrath of the woman who plainly
showed that she wished the girl un.
der her control simply to exploit
her ungovernable temper. The chile
was torn from her bed under the
roof of kind people and taken back
The county attorney was notified
but nothing was done to alleviate the
case. 1t seems that this matte
should receive instant attention.
