A third man, Fred Sulla, who was a
companion of Soda at he time of the
killing, was stabbed. His wounds are
severe. The murders followed separ-
ate, auarrels. Henderson's death is
said by the police to be a direct re-
suit of a dispute with Jean Garnet,
colored, over base ball ability. Gar
net, according to stories told to the
police, became angry and threatened
to kill Henderson. Later on he is
said to have procured a shotgun and
made good his therat Soda and Sulla
were in saloon at Sixth and Elm
streets early last evening with Joe
and Tony Turra, police reports say.
An argument started and they were
elected. After reaching the sidewalk
the dispute was renewed, when 1t is
said Joe Turra drew knife and at
tackled Sulla. The two Turras then
turned and ran, pursued by Soda.
Soda caught up with them at the plat
form south of the C. B. e Q. freight
depot, when it is said Tony Turra
turned and stabbed him to death. The
knife entered just under the collar
bone, severing the juggular vein.
Sulla was badly cut about the face
and hands but is not in a critical con-
dition.
Jean Garrett, the alleged slayer of
Bob Henderson, is said to be located
at Carney, a mining camp near Des

officials is on the way to the camp.
A fight is expected, as Garrett is said
to be heavily armed.

Muscatine Potatoes Short.

For the first time for several years
the potato market is very light in the
vicinity of Muscatine. No home
grown potatoes are to be seen on the
market, all being shipped in and the
price remains firm from $1.00 to $1.25.
The general crop has fallen far below
the average this year and this is given
as the reason for the local scarcity.
According to authentic reports the
Iowa crop, which can generally be de-
pended upon to keep the wolf from
the door, is an entire failure this year.

Ten years ago, Frank FELTON, pur-
chased 120-acre tract of land, some
distance southeast from Eldora. He
paid $40 per acre for the land which
was considered a pretty stiff price. A
few days ago he sold the place at $3.50
per acre, and nobody considered that
an unusual price. 1t is to be doubted
that he could have invested his money
to better advantage ten years ago, or
that he could have gone to any other
state and have done better than he

Mahaska,s First Frost.

Jack Frost entered appearance To-
cally on the mornings of September 81
and %, the earliest date since 1907,
when the first freeze OF the season oc-
Cured September 10. Small prepar-
alton had been made for the entertain.
ment of the visitor and he was I'M
welcome. Held back by the dryness
of July and August much growing
stuff was yet in an immature state.
The tomato crop was not nearly har-
vested and since the; recent rains the
prospects were splendid and countless
bushels developing. Many plants
were caught without cover and the
freeze made the .posy beds look sick.
September is generally the month
for the appearance OF frost, although
we have frequently escaped a freeze
until October. The earliest frost in a
period of twenty-eight years was that
of September 10, 1894. The latest
frost in the same period came on DC.
tober %, 1910. Since, 1886 the first
fall frost has appeared on twenty
September dates and only eight DC
tober dates in the same period. The
average date of the September frost
is on the Goth. . sN-..r .... gs.
Some, weather-wise sage has said
that hot summer is always followed
by an early frost. The torrid summer
of 1901 drew a freeze on September
10, and 1906 and 1907, both hot sea-
sons, had first frost dates on Septem-
Der II and 10.
From 1893 to 1902, inclusive, ten
years, the first frost date was in Sep
TENDER without interruption. Last
years frost was only four days later
than that of this season. al.
From 1886 the record of the first
fall frost in Oskaloosa is here given.
