APPEARS ON SCENE

A dark horse has suddenly doomed up
in the race for the high school basket
ball championship of Iowa. The quin-
tet Of Wilton. Ia, almost unheard OF IN
the basket shooting. world, walloped
Muscatine Friday night by the score
of Is to Is. That the game was ex-
ceedingly fast is evidenced by the
close and small tally. Unless this game
was a freak bit Of pastiming this dark
one is going to cut a big figure in the
championship muddle. Principal F. M.
Hammitt Immediately wired the Wiz,
ton men for a game when the result OF
the battle last night was made known
and present indications point to the
fact that Ottumwa and Wilton will
mix about March l. - r,.,e
Ottumwa lost to :Muscatine in a
great game here two weeks ago and it
was thought that the Pearl City men
were the champs Of Iowa. But later
developments show that Ottumwa has
a great chance of defeating Muscatine
at Muscatine next Thursday. Now that
Wilton has popped up and, spanked
one Of the two claimants for the title,
it is up to the third contender to try
her luck with Ottunwa. pending the
result of the game at Muscatine on
Thursday. - -

CONSERVATION were created on the
streets here yesterday by the appear

normal attack of hypdrophobia. The
rabid creature arrived here at
O'Clock in the morning, having travel
ed overland from Readlyn, IA miles
distant. William Kauten 20 years
old, and j. Brakeman, 20 years OF
age, were bitten by the canine before
it could be captured.
The dog belongs to ]. Buhr OF
Readlyn and left the home of its own
ner during Wednesday night, travelling
across fields and through farm yards
for fourteen miles, to Fairbank. Cat
tie, dogs, chickens, hogs and other ami.
mails that crossed the path Of the mad
dog were bitten, and it is feared that
a great deal Of live stock was inocu-
lated by the rabid canine.
Several citizens formed posse and
captured the dog, which was later
shot. The body of the animal Will be
sent to Iowa City for examination by
experts at the university Of Iowa, so
as to ascertain the seriousness of the
cases where the germs were inoculat-
ed into the victims who were bitten.

DOG CATCHER ROBINSON HAS A
BARN FULL OF DEPARTED
CANNES.

George Robinson, official dog catch
ed of the city of Ottumwa, has under
taken sideline together with his
canine duties; he has started q cold
storage plant for the benefit Of sum-
mer sausage makers. George at pres
ent has forty-eight dogs, some prime
stock for sausage and others of com
mon grade He has converted his
barn into a cold storage plant, using
the present winter weather as his
freezer" Some Of the departed can.
ines have been in this picked condi-
ton for several months and George
says they are just as nice as the first
day he stored them. He will oher
them to the highest bidder when sum-
mer sausage times comes, will guar
antee them under the pure food and
drug acts and in addition refund your
money if not satisfied. He has large
assortment too, all the way from q
French poodle to Newfoundland.
Those who desire to secure pretty
little skin for decorating the mantle or
the parlor, may have the same by
calling on Mr.. Robinson during ONCE
hours.
Georges trouble lies in the fact that
the ground is frozen to depth Of four
feet and to bury the carload or brutes
would require few hundred sticks
of dynamite to dig the graves. George
started saving dogs when the city was
without burying ground for short
time. He is still saving them. .

Washington, Feb. 1O.-Public hear
ings in the second senatorial investi-
alton into the election of Senator Lori
men were declared closed yesterday by
Chairman Dillingham; of the senate
Lorimer committee. -,. @ts.--- .-
Attorney Hanecy, representing Sen
ator Lorimer, was given permission to
file brief to the effect that the SEN
ator's election had been adjudicated
before the present investigation began
and therefore it could not be the sub
ject of second investigation.
The inquiry has proved to be one Of
the most exhaustive ever made by a
congressional committee. In the eight
months hearing about 10000 pages Of
printed testimony were taken, consist
ing Of about five million words. It is
estimated that the photographers fees
alone reached $4,000.
Senators Dillingham;, Gamble, John.
ston and Fletcher are believed to be
inclined to report favoring Mr.. Lori
mer. Senators Lea, Kenyon and Kern
are counted for report declaring his
seat vacant.
Hines Makes Statement.
Late last night Hines gave out a
statement in which he rehearsed the
testimony taken in the lengthy hear.
ing, and declared that he and Senator
Lorimer were victims of a conspiracy.

the statement declared has
been given to prove that I committed
a dishonest or unfair act with intent to
secure the election of Senator Lori
mer."
Members of the committee last night
declined to predict when they would
be prepared to submit a report to the
senate.
The closing hour Of the hearing was
a veritable love feast. The attorneys
explained that they had never intended
orally to display temper and the COM
mittee added that it had not entertain
ed like intentions. w. M. Blumenberg,
