in the court of ID. l.. Thomas, }. p. +,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last
week, what has the earmarks of another
celebrated Jones county calf affair, in
the case of August Jensen VS. Frank Du.
vail. it seems that both parties to this
lawsuit were claiming the same hefier
Both parties said that they had been the
owner of and had raised the heifer from
birth. And it seems that neither
party or their witnesses could be mis-
taken about the matter Duvall claim
ed that his heifer had not been dehorn-
ed, but was natural muley, while Jen-
sen claimed that his heifer had, and of
fered proof of that fact.
Expert witnesses were called in the
persons of DIR. Weighton and DR.. Elery
to testify as to the breeding of the ami
NAL and the fact as to whether or not
said heifer had been dehorned. 1t is
said that on this question of dehorning
is the part of the defendants side of the
case that appeared weak. the experts
leaning strongly toward the fact that
the heifer which both were claiming.
had bsen dehorned, and if it had been
dehorned then Duvall could not lay
claim to it. The jury retired to DELHI
crate on verdict about four O'Clock,
Saturday evening and about 1870 on the
same evening returned verdict for the
plaintiff. Aug. Jensen, Mantz & White

In Badly Demented Condition

Miss Margaret Andersen, aged 30 years
came to Audubon from Omaha last Sat
urday afternoon. She wandered aim.
lessly about town until supper time,
when she was invited into the Farmers
Home where it was soon discovered that
she was mentally deficient. Latter in
the evening she became violent and
threatened to take her own life. Sheriff
Sunberg was called and he arranged
for parties to watch her until Mon
day when she was taken before the
insane commission and adjudged insane
Monday she was taken back to Omaha
where Douglas county will have 30 look
after her. That county will also reim-
burse Audubon county for all expenses
incurred. The woman had been EN-
ployed as a domestic with family in
Omaha who had gone to Florida to
spend the winter and she concluded to
come to Audubon for a couple of weeks.
She has two brothers living below
Extra. While rational part of the time,
she frequently exhibited spells when
she became violently insane and at such
times sought to do injury to herself.
She imagined someone was trying to
burn her and TO evade her prosecutors
she wanted to put an end to her own
life.

Many Changes Are Being Made

All kinds of real estate changes have
recently been made in the city of Aud
ubon. Last week the Republican re-
ported over twelve changes and this
week we have almost as many more.
Owen Davis who last week sold his ten
acre tract purchased the Reinemund
property and two lots ON the hill near
the Catholic church The other lot was
sold to Il. "A. Bates who has sold his
residence property TO A Andersen who
will move to town March first. Mr..
Bates will beginsat once the erection of
new modern home. II. G.. Weiland
has purchased the vacant lot east of
Geo Prestons and will also build a new
house, having sold his residence pro-
perty at his old home in Walnut, III.
Several other deals are still hanging
fire and in all probab lity will be com
pleted. From all appearance Audubon
will experience the greatest building
boom next spring that she has enjoyed
in many years. All these facts are
sufficient proof of the statement so
often made by the Republican that
Audubon was the best town on earth of
her inches. Let the good work continue
and may it be heralded abroad that
Audubon is a healthy growing youngster
at 30 years of age.

matter. His lectures were greatly APP
preciated and proved both instructive
and entertaining He carries with him
some fine recommendations aud a great
many of them are given by Womens
Clubs of the various towns where he
has lectured.
Last night Represented THE Prisoner
of Zenda, drama of romance and adj
venture in four reels. Two shows were
given and each time the house was
crowded to its limit. Audubon people
are beginning torealize that Mr., Hoover
is absolutely giving them the best that
can be purchased and in turn they are
giving him patronage such as he just
ly deserves. Mr.. Hoover will have some
thing special In the near future, notice
of which will be made in the Republic

Mystery Surrounds Death

NJ b. Wheelock, the cashier of the
Citizens State Bank at Colfax who
mysteriously disappeared last week,
has been found, he having taken his
own life by drowning in the Des Moines
river. After thorough examination
of the bank affairs it was found that
no irregularities had taken place and
all who knew the dead banker are at
loss to know what caused him to take
his own life. The writer was person
ally acquainted with Mr.. Wheelock and
when he heard of his death he was as
greatly surprised as any citizen of Col
fax. He was widely known as a sue
cessful banker. He was indeed friend
to the young men who were anxious to
do for themselves and when they went
to him for any, assistance they always
found willing listener and willing
helper. Colfax will miss him. The
bank will be reopened and it is not ex-
pected that anyone will loose a penny.

Lets All Boost For Audubon

A splendid and effective way to boost
for Audubon, in which everyone can
take part, and which will not cost any
body anything extra, is the purchasing
OF railway tickets from the stations here
to the desired destination. A great
many people here who leave for other
points will either buy their tickets to
Atlantic or Carroll and from there pur-
chase tickets to cities in other states
Why not always puchase your through
tickets from the agents at Audubong
They sell tickets just as cheap as any
other agent and if purchased here the
records will show that the Audubon
stations are doing the business that
rightfully belongs to them.
The railroad auditors come yearly to
check up the stations and find the re-
ceipts do not show the amount of bust
ness reasonably expected. Why not
leave all the money here2 There may
come time when our people will want
to ask special favor from the railroads
and il the cash receipts make q good
showing the officials will be quite likely
to grant the request. III you are going
TO Des Moines or Chicago buy through
ticket instead of just to Atlantic or
OtrrOh ne Iuoucy Ttdiiy DciOuBs
here and by so doing the Audubon
agents can make better showing Its
only a small matter, but a lot of small
matters often means something bigger.
Lets make good showing for Audu-
bon and some of these days when we
want a new depot we can go TO the
officials and demand better service from
this station Not only is the above true,
but you will have no trouble with your
baggage which oftentimes becomes de-
layed or even lost at points of transfer,
besides causing time and trouble in re-
checking Another advantage that pas.
sengers buying through tickets either
going or coming will have, is, that the
main line and branch trains will wait a
reasonable time even half hour ut di-
vision points for them to make CON
nections, while those buying tickets to
division points may see their train pull
ont just as they are making for it. In
this matter, as before stated, we can
all be boosters

now, the second one for the year
having been added this week. The
necessary thirty-six states have rat
flied the amendment to elect U. s.
senators by direct vote of the peo-
pie and it will have to be done that
way in the future. 1t will not be
much of a change for number of
the states like Colorado as they
already had practically arrived at
that result through primary election
laws. Between the law makers try
ing to wipe out every vestige of
our original form of government.
and President Wilson trying to re-
vive the forgotten customs of the
eighteenth century the people will
soon be waking up to wonder where
