Get into the Sunshine.

I wish to thank Brother Hull Of
The Reporter for his public express
sion of confidence in the integrity
of John Fulton and wife, Maude
Fulton, who with myself have been
charged with violating the liquor
laws of Iowa and of the United
States by the sale at their place of
business in the building owned by
me of an article called Malto-Dex-
trine, which is vouched for by the
government chemists as well as the
producers chemists as not contain
ing alcohol and it's sale is permitted
by the Pure Food Law. These
guarantees are at the Fulton Cafe
and have been open to the inspection
of anyone interested in this case.
Now in the papers on file against
us is the clerks Office at the court
house, signed and sworn to by one
j. w. Scott is the charge, that the
building had been arranged and fur
niture and fixtures purchased for
the avowed purpose of handling and
selling all malt and spirituous Ii
quors, that we had been doing so in
the past and would continue to do so
in the future and in view ofsthis h0r-
rible menace to the morals of the
community he found it necessary to
pray for temporary injunction,
etc. Now in language more forcible
than polite-wouldn' that cork you.
Mr.. J. w. Scott, can you step to the
front like man and gaze for one
moment into the eyes of this inno-
cent little lady, who is working faith
fully at her husbands side in a le-
gitimate business trying to earn a
competency and home and say to
her face, "You are a bootlegger."
No, you haven't the nerve to express
yourself in this open manner and re-
ceive from them the proof that your
charge is false, but you are brave
enough by few strokes of the pen.
to start that wonderful machinery,
the law, which knows neither sex nor
station and which sometimes in its
intricate working engulfs the starter
If he is not sure of his footing. Are
you so sure of yours, that you so
willingly become the cats paw in the
hands of supposed honorable So
ciety which in it's overzealousness is
seeking to fasten a crime upon an
innocent young woman along with,
others?

TO RUSH APPEAL.
Generals Office Already Pre-
pairing Appeal for Court.

The attorney generals Office will
not waste minute In appealing the
case which. Judge Francis M. Hunter
of Ottumwa,f. yesterday decided
against the state.
Henry E. Sampson, special counsel,
already has begun work preparing a
brief for the appeal. Whether the
capitol extensions law was decided for
or against the, state it was known
that an, appeal would be taken.
Attorney General George Cosson,
who directed the states fight for the
constitutionalityi Of the law, now Is at
Spirit Lake. He will return the first
of the week.
1T was a disappointment to our Of
flee to have the case decided against
u.s." Mr.. Sampson said. Il do not
believe the supreme court will uphold
the lower court"

More Trouble at the Deep Well.

Everybody in Leon is hoping that
the big pump at the deep we'll which
has been out of commission for the
/, past two weeks will soon be at work
again. First the plunger located at
the bottom of the we'll broke off, and
all the casing had to be pulled out
in order to replace the plunger with
| new one. There was a delay in
shipping the new plunger but it was
finally received and the casing re-
| placed and the pump started up last
| Friday evening. But the pump only
| worked a short time until one Of the
pump rods broke. 1t was an extra
big one, and the tool usually used for
fishing out the broken rod would
not go over the top of it, so the cas-
ing had to be drawn out again. This
| unforeseen accident occurred for just
as the first piece of the casing was
being raised, the cable attached to it
slipped and all the casing which
weighs several tons, dropped through
the blocks, going down about ten or
twelve feet, and there it stuck, and
there was no way to get it started
again until piece of casing could be
secured from Des Moines. 1t came
Tuesday at noon and with the aid of
jacks and the hosting apparatus the
casing was started out again and the
work is progressing nicely at noon
on Wednesday. If the cylinder at
the bottom of the casing was not
broken when the casing dropped it
is thought that the casing can be
taken out and replaced and the pump
started in about three days.
The city council has placed the
order for the new air pressure pump
and it will be installed in anywhere
from five weeks to two months and
then everyone will heave a sigh Of
relief; for you know 1--WE never miss
the water till the we'll runs dry"
but in this case the we'll has not run
dry, but that darned old pump which
has caused so much grief is still
making trouble. But be patient,
when the new pump is installed there
will be no scarcity of water.
/ The Leon Electric Co., are right
UP against it to secure water for
their boilers, and commencing Mon
day night have had to shut down the
plant at midnight They are doing
everything in their power to secure
water to keep the plant running un-
til the pump is again in operation.
Swift & Co.'s big plant had to shut
down yesterday morning until pipe
line could be laid to connect with
the stock yards we'll near the depot.
There has been some talk that
there is a scarcity of water in the
deep we'll, but there is no foundation
for the report. Measurements were
taken and the water is standing ex-
sSsss1y where it has stood all the time
and the only problem which con-
fronts. us is to get it pumped up in
the stand pipe.

Did Not Murder His Wife.

There was nothing to the rumor
which was in circulation here last
week that Claude Clark, formerly
of this city, had murdered his wife
by cutting her throat in Denver. Her
brother, Ed Pierce, of Michigan came
to Leon to investigate the rumor, but
could find nothing here, so went to
Denver, and a letter from. him.; to
John Cox, of north of Leon, says he
found there was no foundation for
the rumor and that Mrs. Clark was
alive and well.

Leon ia to continue to have a Chau-
tauQua our people must wake up.
They cannot expect any Chautauqua
System to continue to give US a
good program and lose money in do
ing so. We are not complaining, but
are simply stating cold facts. We
don't believe Leon can afford to not
have a Chautauqua, but if we con-
tinue to have one, we will either have
to put up with cheaper attractions
or there will have to be marked in
crease in the sale Of tickets.

During the storm last Sunday night

ground. The barn contained about
35 tons of good hay, four sets of har-
ness, saddles and many other ar
ticles of value together with, a good

The loss falls quite heavily on Mr..

Bridge Burned.

A long wooden bridge between
Derby and Charlton was burned last
Friday evening, having been set on
fire by a freight engine and is was
entirely consumed. The trains for a
couple of days had to run from
Humeston to Van Vert and Osceola
in order to reach Charlton, and were
about two hours late in reaching
this city from the north. The bridge
was replaced SO that trains were rum
ming on schedule time Saturday.

pitched no-hit game and during
the entire nine innings the Osakites
were unable to fathom his slants, six
going via the Whit route. The latter
allowed five hits but sent II of the
locals to the bench with strikeOut
to their credit.
The second ball pitched by Murphy
to Knudsen was hit TO Wills at third
who threw high to S. p. Hansen at
first and while the latter was
stretched out to catch the ball, Knud-
sen slid into him, striking him in the
left leg in such manner with his
head and shoulder that the impact
caused the bones to snap just above
the ankle. Schwartz took his place
at first but Hansens accident took a
good deal of the life out of the team
and his absence weakened the infield

Osakis has had this season, held the

sixth frame, but here Arnestad

secretly in the forest. He gets her a

studies sincerely to meet the favor
of the handsome soldier. The ro-
nance is interrupted by the arrival
from the East of Miss Harvey, niece
of the Colonies wife, and Lieutenant
Hart dances attendance upon her.
The Indians are invited to the fort
by the Colonel, and Bright Star ac-
companies them. AS they are walk

Harris hopes of winning Miss Harvey
