REV. THORPE DIES:
FORMER IOWAN

Marshalltown, Nov. 27.-Old time
members of the Presbyterian church Of
this city will regret to learn Of the
death at Binghamton, N. Y, Of Rev. w.
w. Thorpe, who, forty years ago, was
called as pastor Of the church here.
Rev. Mr.. Thorpe became pastor Of
the church IN this city May 1S, 1873,
and served until October Is, 1875. He
followed Rev. A. B. Goodale, who was
succeeded by Rev. J. M. Carmichael.
Mr. Thorpe was brilliant man, and a
fine preacher, according to old members
Of the local church who remember him
well. A press dispatch from Bing-
hamton tells Of Mr.. Thorpe's death as
follows:
The Rev. w. w. Thorpe, known
throughout this section as the fighting
parson. is dead at his home here. He
was highly respected throughout the
southern tier of counties, having serv-
ed through the civil war as chaplain Of
the Third infantry, New York, where
he won his title. In 1870 he was made
pastor of Presbyterian church in Wa
terloo, Iowa, going to Marshalltown in
1872. The Rev. Mr.. Thorpe was later
made chaplain Of the Iowa house Of

LEE co. FARMERS
LEND HELPING HAND

Fl Madison, Nov. 27-The absolute
test Of sincerity Of friendship, climax
ing all other human characteristics
was put to a group Of SOME forty resi-
dents Of Lee county and to the last
man they responded to the test.
The home was that Of Mrs. Geo. w.
Tucker, of near Viewer. The husbands
sad and sudden death occurred a few
days ago. The day following his funeral
was marked by the birth Of a. son. 1t
was just chance remark Of some
one in Viewer that Mrs. Tucker had a
fifteen acre patch Of unshucked corn, )"
that started the test Some one else
suggested that the neighbors get to-
gether and gather the crop Monday
morning. The suggestion was passed
along, not with the thought Of persuad-
ing assistance but to show the purpose
Of the thought.
The outcome was a surprise. Morn
ing" to some Of the farmers meant
farmer morning." which is the COM
mencement of chore time, and wagons
were in the field then. 1t was not long
before 40 men were in the field. At
8: IS the last ear hit the high-board Of
the last wagon. Photographer Hartman
Of TT. Madison happened along at the
time and took a picture or two of the

ESTHERVILLE MEN
PREPARE FOR SPRING

Estherville, Nov. 27.-An unusual
situation prevailed on the farms Of this
section recently. Acres and acres Of
meadow land, pasture, stubble and
even cornstalk land ground were turn
ed over, subtracting that much from
the field work Of next spring. Some
few finished husking corn and started
again to plow simply because there was
no other field work to do. Some quit
husking preferring the risk of rough
weather for corn picking to that Of a
wet spring for blowing up low ground.
Very little Of the corn is on the ground
here this fall and there Is little fear
that there will not be plenty Of oppor-
tunity to get the crop into the crib.
One man said. II have just been to
town with a load Of corn and I hauled
home a load of hard coal.' In reply to
the question. Did the corn pay for the
coal?" he answered, yes. and then

MEN FINED FOR
SOLICITING ORDERS

Mason City, Nov 27.-From all indi
cations r. A. Kruger, A. r. Moonoh,
James Stevenson and ]. c. barrow, all
alleged representatives Of liquor houses
are not going to escape as fortunately
as they had hoped. They were all ar
rested for soliciting, under violation Of
the city ordinance and had hearing
before Mayor Stanton. The evidence
was to the effect that they had taken
orders for beer. Two of them were fined
SIS. Stevenson was fined $50 and OAR
row dismissed. 1t is now known that
the grand jury has taken up this case.
Much Of the evidence before the mayor
was from foreigners who refused to
commit themselves, fearing that there
would be no further opportunities for
them to get beer, but much more evil
dence is being sought by the grand
jury and it is reported that it is COM
ing now largely from Americans. All
the men who were fined by the mayor
refused to pay their fines and the case
was appealed to the district court. None
Of them went on the stand to deny that
they were guilty Of the crime charged.

METZ Bros, WANT
A NEW TRIAL

Keokuk, Nov. 27.-A motion for a
new trial and arrest Of judgment have
been filed in the federal court in the
case Of Jacob Metz, Emmanuel Metz
and John Metz of Chicago and Niles,
Mich, who were convicted recently Of
the charge Of conspiracy to use the
government mails to defraud John
Saar Jr., of Contrib. Iowa.
In the motion filed for a new trial 1t
is alleged that the verdict Is not sus-
tanned by the evidence and is contrary
to law and that the court erred in ad-
hitting certain letters as there was no
evidence tending to show that they
were deposited by any one of the de-
PENDANTS by reason of a conspiracy.
Further claims in this motion are:
That the court erred in refusing GER
tain Instructions. admitting certain
evidence and in overruling the defend
ants motion to direct verdict in their
favor, made at the close Of the govern
ment testimony; that the court erred
in admitting the testimony Of John
Saar as to conversations with the de-
PENDANTS after the arrest Of Jacob Metz
and the object of the alleged conspir-
acy had been accomplished; that the
government failed to prove the venue
was formed within the jurisdiction Of
the federal court for the southern dis
trict Of Iowa.
The principal ground in the motion
for arrest of judgment Is that the in
dictment does not charge an offense
triable within this district for the rea-
son that under the averments of the
indictment the conspiracy was not
found and nothing was deposited in
the mail In this district
The defendants at the time of con-
viction were given twenty days in
which to file these motions. That per-
iod expires December 5.
