trail Association returned last night
from Columbus, Ohio, where he at
tended the annual meeting Of the Ma
tional Association Of Professional
Baseball Leagues, in the interest of
the interest Of the G. A. Mr.. Justice
stated this morning that there were a
number of measures passed that are
Of Importance to the G. A.
Mr.. Justice was named one of COM
mittee of Ave to go before the Ma
tional commission when that body
meets at Cincinnati in January to
present several matters of Importance
to the minor leagues. One OF these
Is the adoption Of a rule providing
that players may be sold by one minor
league club to another and the SER
vices Of the player retained until the
end Of the season without the play
er's being subject to draft. The rules
governing these cases at present pro-
vide that IL player is sold by one
minor league club to another the
player must be delivered at once or
he is subject to draft.
This rule works serious hardship
on minor league clubs who must de-
pend partly upon the sale Of players
to finance the club, and yet who try
to keep a winning team In the field.
If the rule is approved by the com
mission 1t will mean that much bet
ter article of ball will be played in
the bushes hereafter.

To Protect Prairie Chickens.

Hon. L. NJ. Enger was up from Des
Moines over Sunday, coming from
Vinton where he inspected the school
for the blind, together with legis-
lative committee. He says that the
session is an exceptionally busy and
important tone and that there are SO
many meas ures of great importance
before it that it will probably be a
lengthy session. He has introduced
among other bills, measure for the
DEBORAH Rod and Gun Club, making
it unlawful to shoot grouse or prair-
lie chickens in Iowa for five years. II
properly protected, prairie chickens
ought to become plentiful in Iowa
again, and they are very valuable as
destroyers of insects, besides their
edible qualities. United action at this
time will save them for Iowa.

Martin Woldum CT the Woldum
Produce Co., DEBORAH, Iowa. was in
town yesterday and made preliminary
arrangements towards opening an
Egg and Poultry House here. He
leased the broom factory which will
be occupied until lots can be purchas-
ed and buildings of their own erected
thereon. The Woldums come well
recommended and are said to have
made a great success of the business
in DEBORAH, where they started in a
few years ago with record of three
cases the first week and last year
shipping seventy carloads of eggs
alone. We understand one member
of the firm will locate in Preston and
give the business his personal super
vision. Times.

MOVING PICTURES AT GRAND.
Roy II. Stewart to Open "Star The
aue" in Grand Opera House
Next Week.

Mr.. Roy H. Stewart, for a good
many years resident Of this city
but more recently in the motion pic.
ture theatre business in Minnesota
has been in DEBORAH for some little
time, making arrangements to open
theatre here. He has finally leased
the Grand opera house. The man
ayers of our beautiful play house
have very carefully considered the
plan of using the theatre for NOV
ing pictures for some time, and fin
ally placed it before the directors,
who decided favorably. This will
not in any way interfere, however,
with the regular theatrical and other
business of the opera house.
Mr.. Stewart will conduct his NOV
ing picture business under the name
of the Star Theatre. He states that
he will have first class films, up-to-
date in every way, and will also put
on the best vaudeville attractions he
can secure. Films will be changed
daily and vaudeville attractions will
change Mondays and Thursdays.

Fish for Our Streams.

Through the diligence of local fish
ermen, three shipments of fish were
deposited in the streams of the coun-
ty the past season, and the DEBORAH
Rod and Gun Club have now taken
the matter in charge for the coming
season. OLAF Kallevang, as chairman
of the committee, has the matter in
charge, and has already secured the
promise of three shipments, trout
from the Iowa hatchery at Manches-
ter, small mouth black bass from the
Illinois hatchery, and large mouth
black bass from the Michigan hatch
cry. These will all come from the U,
S. government, and in the fall, when
the state game warden begins sein-
ing, an effort will be made to get an
other car of fish from him, seined
from the Mississippi bayous, like
those we received last fall. With fire,
quent stocking and with obedience
to law, Winneshiek county streams
can be made the best fish producers
in this part of the country, and are
already rapidly approaching thai
condition.

An Interesting Incident.

A somewhat unusual incident oc-
cupied the attention of the Court
last week, in which plea of gull
ty" was changed to mot guilty." the
case tried, and won by the defend
ant. 1t was in the case of the state
of Iowa VS.. William Holverson, who
made the assault on Mrs. Wangsness.
At the September term he was indict-
ed for assault with intent to inflict
great bodily injury, a penitentiary
offense. That charge necessarily in
cluded two lesser offenses, assault
and battery and simple assault. The
latter two are punishable by a jail
sentence of thirty days at most. When
County Attorney Willett had him
brought into court to plead, Judge
Hobson asked Holverson if he wanted
an attorney. He replied, mo, want
to plead guilty" and on being asked
by the Judge if he knew the conse-
quences of his plea, he said Eyes
The court then fixed the last day of
the term for sentence. Attorney
Acres, who happened to be in court
arose and told Judge Hobson that
the boy was not guilty of the higher
crime charged, and that the Court
in justice ought to refuse the plea
Laterin the day Holverson wasgagain
brought into court and Mr.. Acres ap-
peared for him, withdrew the plea OF
guilty and substituted a plea of not
guilty. A plea of guilty of either OF
the lesser offenses was then offered
to the state, but refused Last week
the case came on for trial, and the
jury, after being out only a short
time, returned a verdict watch acquit-
ted the defendant of the crime of as
sault with intent to infiict great bod
| lily injury, but found him guilty of
assault and battery, and Judge Hob
son sent him to Jail for thirty days.
Mr. Acres said he did not receive pay
for his work and never expected to,
but he is an officer of the Court, and
he believed that the result justified
his defense of young man who
would otherwise have gone to the
penitentiary for term of years.

There Were Two "Irishers.' y

The fact that several of Illinois
new officials are of Irish descent sug-
gests a story told by Congressman-at-
Large Kelly of Michigan at a dinner
in Chicago recently. Joked by several
speakers upon the pre-eminence OF
Irishmen in public life, when Mr..
Kelly's turn came to speak, he said:
That's perfectly true we always go
to the top. / remember an example
of this that came to my attention a

A SEVERE ACCIDENT.
Circular Saw Nearly Severed Wrist
OF Charles Palmer When He
Fell Against 1t.

Just after Public Opinion had been
placed in the mails last Wednesday
afternoon, Charles Palmer, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. ID. Palmer, who was
helping with the Mali power saw out
fit at the west side of the grand OPP
era house, sustained a very unfortu-
nate and serious accident. He was
feeding wood to the machine, and in
putting a stick onto the frame his
foot slipped on some ice beneath him
and he was thrown onto the swiftly
revolving saw with much force. The
flesh was literally torn from the ell
bow to the wrist, both tendons and
the main artery being severed, while
a piece of bone was torn from one
eide, and the other bone broken. He
was quickly taken to the Office of Dr..
NJ. d. Jewell, and Drs. Swezey and
Thomas called to assist. 1t was de-
termined to make an effort to save
the hand and arm, and the wounds
were carefully dressed and the frac-
ture reduced. 1t is now believed that
the arm can be saved and everyone
sincerely hopes so, although it will be
a few days yet before this can he de-
termined for certainty.
