OBJECT TO PROBATING
OF FATHERS WILL

Mt Pleasant, March IA suit was
filed in this district court late Friday
wherein Frances Bixler Powers Of Pu-
laski, Iowa, filed an objection to the
protating of the will of her step father
the late John Bixler of Salem, Iowa.,
and demanded the appointment of a
special administrator of the estate
which is estimated to be worth we'll
over $125,OO0 The petitioner claims
that the will of her father, which al
lowed her only $1,000 in cash, and that
that not to be paid until she reached
her thirtieth birthday, was written
while the deceased was under the I'M
due, influence of his second wife, j.
Belle Bixler. The two natural children
of Mr.. Bixler will probably join suit
with the adopted daughter, Frances
Bixler Powers, the petitioner, as both
received from the estate but life in
terest in certain real estate. In Mr..
Bixler's will which was written and

FARM HAND NOW
\ OWNS 300 ACRES

Knoxville, March 14.-C. Watertor
and wife of the vicinity of Des
Moines, were in town closing a deal
whereby Mr.. and Mrs. Watertor be-
come the owners Of the Umben-
hover farm near Everist. The deal
involved the transfer of 305 acres of
Liberty township land, of which some
parts have been owned by Mr.. UNI
benhower since the pioneer days,
when he got possession of ten and
twenty-five acre tracts Of the estate
for such "trinkets" as shotguns, sets
of harness, a span of mules, COW,
etc. Every acre of the tract is prob
ably now worth in the neighborhood
of 500 per acre; however, Mr.. Wa
tertor paid but $780, And there is still
another side to this interesting little
item. Only Ten or fifteen years ago
Mr.. Watertor was farm hand work
ing by the month for Martin Wiser
over on the river north of Flagler.
Later he was employed in the same
capacity by Asa Johnson in Liberty
township. On Mr.. Johnson's advice
the young man bought Colorado land
and held it until his advisor told him
it was time to cut loose" Later the
money from the Colorado venture was
invested in Nebraska soil near Big
Springs. Two or three big and fairly
good Drops followed and then drought
and nkrtial failure. Again Johnson
told Natertor to "cut loose" at some
thing hear s25 per acre. He "cut."
That was four years ago, and the
soil has not produced since that time
and is probably worth a dollar an
acre today. But Mr.. Watertor is
worth" go odcool $4,000 and now
in position to soon become absolutely
Independent on his 3O0-acre tract of
Marion county soil, which ranks as
being among the best on the globe.

GROOM FEATURE
OF COURT AGAIN
elGoURNEY BARBER BACK IN
TOLLS AGAIN AND THROWS
FIT AT POLICE STATION.

q. H. Boyd, the Sigourney tonsorial
artist who enacted the role of "sor'
rowSul groom" at the police station
Friday morning, may yet realize the
happiness he anticipated early Friday
when 'twixt Joy q. his impending
second marriage and sorrow at the
loss of his first wife he was led to par
take too freely of hair tonic or some
other beverage that caused him tenn,
porary paralysis. 1t also prevented
the second step within the realms OF
hymen for a time at least.
Compassion for the unfortunate
swain whose heart was torn by such
varied emotions led Police Judge hen
dershott to give Boyd his release
about the noon hour" Friday. Before
liberating the marrying barber, how
evsr, he extracted So from Boyds roll
Of $4.36 as a part payment on %
fine. He also gave Boyd lecture on
the follies of frail folks fool1ng with
tbs wine cup whether to find solace
fo1; grief or to celebrate occasions OF
Joy.
Full Of gratitude for his liberty and
profuse in his declarations to Walk
the straight and narrow path IN the tu-
ture, Boyd left the police station ap-
parently to arrange for his trip to Ke-
okuk county. He did not go, how
ever.
Boyd came back. The first time it
was to cash a check for $3.50, which
he did not cash. Judge Hendershott
seemed satisfied to have the city re-
tain the So secured in the morning
and was loath to part with it even for
a check. The check was not secured
for Boyd admitted that he had no mon
ey in the Sigourney bank to make
good the amount, but Of course he
would deposit the sum upon reaching
home. The court did not have the
money to spare and declined to be
banker.
Boyd again came back. This time
he had more money than when he
left; he also had jag or some other
indisposition. Then he had fit and
during the early morning hours at the
police station Saturday 1t was neces-
sary to call doctor. Boyd called the
name Sam repeatedly and Officer
Ryttenberg was curious to know II
the fancee of Friday was the person
called during Boyd's Authorizations.
The physician diagnosed the case as
one of Mysteries and the officers were
alarmed for time, but by $3.50 Boyd
was sobered up and being bereft OF
the hat he wore Friday, was supplied
with an old policeman's cap and per-
sonally conducted by Judge Hender-
shott to the Milwaukee train where he
was placed aboard and told to go
home and stay away from Ottumwa.
No allusion to the wedding bells that
formed an important part Of his tale
Friday was made by Boyd today. ne
was glad to 30.

FINDS PEARL WORTH
$50; PERFECT ONE

Ft.s Madison, March 14.-Herbert
Ritchey, working at the button fac
tory above town this week found d
large pearl in the meat of one of the
clans which has been estimated to be
valued at $50.
The pearl, which is a milky white
color, is perfect in shape, measuring
three-sixteenths of an inch in di,a-
meter 1t is known as meat pearl
because of the fact that they are
found lying loose in the meat of the
clam, rather than fastened to the
shell.
The pearl found is one of the most
perfect and largest ever found at the
