rs my name written there?" Is the
old, yet new song that many DoWsites
are chanting over to themselves this
week, as q result Of the action taken
by Mayor Huntington and Marshal
Little in ordering Agent McElhinney
to return to the consignor shipments
Of liquor sent to local persons who are
habitual drunkards. This course was
decided upon by the city authorities
when q large shipment of booze came
to Bows consigned to character who
had spent the pFevious Saturday night
in the city JAIL Agent Mckinney was
ordered to return the liquor and list
Of twenty-five or thirty names OF
habitual drunkards of Bows and vicin-
ity was furnished him and he was or
dered to return any shipments of
liquor which he may receive for any OF
the persons whose names were sub"
mitted. The city authorities have also
perfected a plan for experimenting
"booze agents" and bootleggers. which
they feel will put a stop to great deal
of the drunkenness around town.
Webster City.
Rather an unusual case was brought
before the mayor when George Brown.
of this city. was hailed in police court.
It seems that last Wednesday evening
Mr.. Brown, who for some time has
been keeping company with Miss
Sweazey, a telephone operator in thi:
city, went to the Office where the
young lady works nights and stated
that if she did not marry him he would
kill her and himself also. One word
brought OIL another until he laid vio-
lent hands on her and started to choke
her Realizing what he was doing he
desisted, whereupon the girl called her
mother and the night policeman. The
girl did not wish him any harm and
refused to sign any information against
him, so he was allowed to go his way.
A few nights later Brown again called
at the telephone office and again told
her that she had to marry him and If
she did not he would shoot her and
himself The night policeman was
called and the girl asked that he be
locked up, as she was afraid he might
injure her. When Brown was searched
a 20 caliber target pistol was found,
but no shells.
Lake Park.
Ferdinand Pabst. who lives on the
Jurgen Schwager farm in Sioux VAL
ley, had lost about forty head Of hogs
with the cholera and had between thir-
ty and forty head afflicted with the
disease and seemed to stand a good
chance Of losing his entire herd when
his aged mother, who lives with him,
and who had passed thru a cholera
epidemic among human beings in the
old country years ago, called his atten-
ton &c the beneficial effect whisky had
upon those who worked among the
dead and dying, and suggested to him
that he try it on his hogs. He had no
faith at all in the proposed remedy
but, in his dilemma. decided to give it
a trial, as the hogs could not well be
any worse than they were. He pros
cured a quantity Of whisky and a long
necked bottle and proceeded to give all
OF the sick hogs a dose, using about a
small whisky glass full to each hog
Some Of them were 80 far gone at the
time that he began using 1t that they
were no longer able to stand up, and
yet in every instance. the liquor.
seemed to have q beneficial effect at
once. and the result was that he did
not lose another animal and q few
doses seemed to have completely cured
even the worst OF them and his entire
herd is now in the best Of health.
