the indiscriminate shooting OF or at
individuals. which has become too
common in Waterloo, especially by
members OF the tough element Of the
colored population. must stop. Judge
{. W. Mullan in district court em-
phasized that fact in no uncertain
language when he sentenced Samuel
Mitchell, the colored nan who took a
shot III another eoiored nan Wsdnss-
day afternoon. Mitchell, thru his at.
torney, pleaded guilty to the charge OF
carrying concealed weapons and the
defendants attorney made a plea for
leniency, asking that the man be not
given a ~penitentiary sentence. Leni-
ency was refused, and Mitchell was
sentenced to not over two years at
Fort Madison.
There has been a great deal OF
trouble during h past year or two
by men carrying guns and shooting
at others upon slight provocation or
no p~rovoca,ion at ALL" said the court
in passing sentence. $50 far as / am
able to do I intend to break up that
habit. 1t is a serious matter to send
a man to the p~enitentiary. blu ! am
certain nothing else will do in this
case.
You had but slight p~ro-ocat!on.

UNNECESSARY
EXCITEMENT.

=
Early last Saturday night the po-
lice were notified that drunken and
t6isorderly negro was causing annoy
ance to people in the neighborhood Of
Duke and Henry streets. Officer Mil
Ter went to the scene and the negro,
upon seeing the policeman, ran. The
latter followed the tfarkey closely
from place to place, through a nearby
cemetery and into house. The OFF,
Ger located the fugitive, when the ne
gro jumped from window. Officer
Miller discharged his pistol at him
and later he was captured.
Many persons, mostly boys, had
Joined in the chase, and the report
spread that The negro had embraced a
young women and was the sane man
who intercepted three young women
on south Alfred street several weeks
ago. Before long the report had
grown somewhat, when it was noised
around that the negro had attacked
young white woman in the First
Ward, and that his victim was in a
critical condition and had been taken
to the Alexandria Hospital. TIE
rumor continued to grow until it was
alleged that the man captured by the
police was a well known white resi-
dent in the First Ward, who had
blackened his face, and, while mas
ouerading, had made the assault.
By this time considerable excite
ment prevailed, and some of the more
explosive limited of saving the court
any trouble in the case.
Mayor Fisher, upon learning of the
matter, repaired to the station house
and made thorough investigation
and also perfected arrangements to
preserve the peace should any overt
action be taken upon the part of any
persons.
The above is given to show the
great responsibility resting upon peo-
pie who exaggerate anything they
hear AMI aid in tanning flames to law
lessness. The white man whose name
was mentioned in the case, was OF
course, ignorant of the entire affair.
Two acts of violence occurred in Alex
andria in comparatively recent years,
and another was narrowly averted by
the removal from the city of white
man, who, it was later shown, was
not guilty of capital crime.

IOWA MEN INVOLVED IN SUIT
OVER RIVER FARM
SALE.
COURT RULES THAT OWNER
CAN NOT FULFILL CONTRACT
Traded For Border Farm Which
Partially Disappears in Flood After
Inspection Of Purchaser But Before
Deal is Closed.

Waterloo May 29.-According to the
decision of Judge F. c. Plat an order
Will be made for the RECESSION Of a
contract entered into May 2. 1912, be-
tween w F. Noble and w. c. Renner.
OF Cedar Falls. in which the former
traded stock OF furniture to the lat
county, Iowa.
Last week trial of the suit to set
aside the contract was started in the
equity branch of the district court be-
fore Judge F. c. Plat. Examination
Of witnesses and the principals in the
case consumed four days.
AS a result Of the floods on the Mis-
souri, river while on one of its ram
pages, forty-four acres of the farm:
We're cut away in the spring Of 1911,
during the interval between April 8,
when the plaintiff inspected the prop
erty and May 2, the date on which the
contract was signed at Cedar Falls.
Later twenty acres Were added to the
loss.
Fraud Was Charged.
FRAUD ana misrepresentation VERY
alleged in the deal. BY the introduc-
ton of evidence it was shown that
Mr.. Noble had inspected the farm
when it was high and dry and had no
knowledge Of the destruction wrought
by the flooded waters at the time the
deal was closed. 1t was similarly
shown by testimony brought out dur
ing the DISCRIMINATION of Mr.. Rem
ner that the defendant had received a
telephone message from Mr.. Kelley. a
neighboring farmer, on May l, 1912.
notifying him that conditions were
bad and the farm buildings were in
danger of being washed away. as the
floods had cut away a portion of the
farm land"
Originally Had 100 Acres.
II was also shown that Renner had
brought action in the district court
of Blackhawk county against the for
mer owner OF the land. for damages
on account Of portions Of the land
being cut away. According to the abb
stract the farm which is now esti-
mated TO contain less than fifty acres.
originally had $50 acres. Thru changes
in the channel of the stream, the losses
have resulted. Mr.. Renner Will be
COMPELLED to make an accounting OF
the furniture secured in the trade and
rake back what is left of the disap-
pearing farm, as provided In the
courts order for the RECESSION OF the
contract.
