TRANSFERS RUN
INTO MILLIONS

g Webster City, March 22.-Few coun-
ties in all Iowa can show larger real
estate transfer values for March than
Hamilton county. Recorder Hunt re-
ports that during the first seventeen
days Of the month real estate transfers
here totalled $2,157,008. Using an or
binary basis of figuring, it is predicted
that the transfers of property in Ham
ilton county for all the month Of
March will run up to $3,000,000. The
vastness of this sum may be realized
by figuring 1t in acres. Figuring land
at s125 per acre, this sum would buy
$4,000 acres or more than an entire
township.

SCHOOL CENSUS LESS
INSTEAD OF GREATER

That an actual loss occurred in the
school population of Salt Lake City
during the last year was discovered by
the board OF education last night when
the reports On the annual census re.
Gently completed were presented.
The reports show net increase in
the city OF 3s6 children, an unusually
light increase as compared to that OF
other years, but when it is figured thai
the addition of Forest Dale to the citv
proper this year added more than 800
children to the school population IL is
apparent that instead OF gain there
was an actual loss of nearly $50 in the
suburb. ne"
In view of the fact that the censns
for 1912 showed a net gain of moTe
th than 1900 children over that Of 1911.

To this Assemblyman Gibbs retorted;
Let not those mon who have prepared

Fight Starts; Shots Fired.

The fglrt had started. The crowd
surged and Axel Steele's men battled as
comrades OF old. Scarcely ten seconds
had elapsed until tho shooting began.
Then the crowd made a rush for places
OF safety. Among the few left were seen
the injured. The wielder OF the revolver
fired five shots Every shot took effect
and one shot must have hit two men.
AXel Steele was q conspicuous figure.
After uhe trouble he walked up and down
through the crowd, aslcing il there was
anyone else who wanted TO shoot citi-
zen or say anything against the Ameri-
can flag. Nobody interrupted him and
he made no effort to excite trouble.
The gun that Murphy dropped in try
Ing TO escape was picked UP by Bernard
Rich, "a East Second South street. He
lodged into his place OF business. al
though several tried TO get the gun from
him. and locked the door. Later he de-
livered the gun TO Motorcycle Patrolman
w. II Hendricl1son, who took IL TO po-
lice headquarters. The gun evidently had
just been fired five times.
