bowels. MT. Thomson has been in
pour health for several months and
it WIS thought his trouble might be
reiuedied at Rochester. The operation
was successful, but it was found that
the Malignant growth had assumed
sucti proportions that nothing could
be tfone to save him, and his condition
was such that he could not withstand
the liter effects of the operation.
The deceased was born in Schles

past year and had consulted physic-

be left to the dictation of two or three
self appointed bosses to determine
what officers should manage the af-
| fairs of the city. 1t is whispered
about that Mr.. Caswell and his assist
ants are to hold what is denominated
citizens caucus on next Tuesday
night, when they are expected to put
| through their program which will be
presented to the caucus at the proper
, time We do not know what the re-
publicans intend to do, but as long as
they are in the majority in the city
they should have something to say
about who shall represent the city af-
ter the election. AS a republican liv
ing city with a large republican ma
jority we think it advisable that the
republicans should hold caucus and
nominate representative men for the
various positions.
There are great many people in
the city who are inclined to perpetuate
the present council in Office in order
that they may assume responsibility
of the management of the electric
light plant when it shall be taken over
by the city, They are suspicious that
those responsible for acquiring and
operating the plant after it is taken
over will not be able to demonstrate
that it was best for the city to take it
over and as long as the present cOun-
Gil is responsible for what is done
they say it should be left with them to
make good their predictions. If the
plant when taken over should prove a
failure and those who We're response
Bile for taking it over are not in office,
it would really be charged up to
the fact that change had been made
in the council. A large amount of
money has been spent by the council
in travelling over the state hiring eX-
perts and paying their expenses and
salaries and it is asserted that those
who favor keeping the present council
in Office that when the day of reckon
ing comes the present council should
be on hand to receive their reward
in prizes if they win out and make the
plant success for the city.

Land CONTEST
DECISION IN A HOTLY CONTEST.
ED CASE IN TRIP
COUNTY.

Gregory, May 21.-A contest for a
valuable Trip county farm which
has been prosecuted steadily ever
since the coded lands of the Rosebud
Indian reservation in that county was
opened for white settlement has just
been decided by the secretary of the
interior in favor of Harrison Lair,
one of the contestants. In October,
1909, Lair and Ii. G. Wyatt pur-

still later for a consideration turning
over to Wyatt the same rights, with
the difference that with his sale to
Wyatt he turned over his filing pa
pers, giving Wyatt something to show
for his purchase, whereas Lahr had
nothing to show for his money.
Later the land was thrown open to
squatter settlement and both Lahf
and Wyatt attempted to secure title
under squatter's rights. The first
decision after the contest had been
instituted by Lahr against Wyatt was
In favor of the latter, and following
this Wyatt built a two-story resi-
dence on the disputed homestead and
prepared to make it his permanent

RAISING WHEAT
Costs 80 Cents a Bushel In the Sas-
katChewan Country.

Washington, May 21.-American
wheat growers and farmers will be
interested in a report of a commits
sion appointed by the government of
Saskatchewan ito examine into the
ways and means for lettering the po-
sition of Saskatchewan grain in the
European markets." Incident to this
investigation the commission looked
into the cost of producing wheat un-
der present conditions in that prov
ince of Canada. The wheat produc-
ers of various sections of the United
| States will be interested to know that
under present conditions the cost of
producing wheat as determined by
| the commission is reported to be So
| cents per bushel on the farm and GO
cents per bushel f. o. b. car at oun
try points. According to the report,
the cost of production has increased
1915 per cent since 1909, while, on
the other hand, the price of wheat to
the Saskatchewan farmer has de-
creased from 81 Is cents per bushel
in 1909 to sc q cents per bushel in
1913, leaving a net return on this
basis of rs cents per bushel to the
farmer.
1t is possible that the interesting
figures which have been developed by
the grain commission will account for
the fact that a large number of
American farmers who have in re
cent years left the state to engage in
farming in this territory are now ask
ing for a certificate which permits
the return of household effects to the
UNITED States. If the economic situ-
alton suggested in the above state
ment is not the cause, perhaps it may
be found in the long and rigorous
winters characteristic of this section
as compared with those in the lead
ing farming districts of the states.

DEFAULTING BANKER
RETURNS AFTER SEVEN YEARS
AND Is SENTENCED.

Garner, Ia, May 21.-After seven
years hiding in Texas, John Sand
ring, defaulting cashier of the First
State bank, of Corwith, Ia, walked
into the court room at Garner, plead
ed guilty to fifteen indictments of
forgery which the grand jury of Han
cock county returned against him in
the fall of 1907, and threw himself
upon the mercy of the court. He was
accompanied by his brother and his
attorney, John Senneff, of Mason
City. His unexpected appearance,
his voluntary return and plea OF
guilty created a tremendous sensa
ton here.
Sandring was taken to Fort Madi-
son prison by Sheriff Baumgardner
to begin serving a ffteen-year term
imposed by Judge j. j. Clark. For
mer prosecuting attorneys for the
men who lost $4,000 by Sandring's
populations and others suggested o
t~en-year term, but the court thought
fifteen years was demanded.
/, On November 10, 1907, John Sand
ring disappeared, and the bank went
into liquidation. 1t was found that
Sandring had forged paper to the
amount of nearly $4,000 and the
condition of the bank was deplor-
able. The depositors' secured the
services of Senneff & Bliss, and they
succeeded in getting out of the wreck
81 cents on the dollar for the de-
positors. The stockholders of the
bank and other banks which had
taken the forged notes, however, lost
about $4,000 in the transaction.
The largest loser was a relative OF
Sandring, losing more than one-third
of the entire amount. He vas a cap
italist living in the east and, fortu'
nately, had ample mea for his
needs after sustaining the loss. The
rest of the losses were divided among
six or eight Iowa banks, whose loss
was from $4,000 to $4,000 each,
Sandring took $500 with him and left
$500 in hiding for his wife and fam
lily to give them support till he could
find some means of earning a liveli-
hood. He went to Minneapolis, blu
before officers could locate him he
was in Texas, where, apparently, he
disappeared out of sight. The $500
he left for his wife he placed in hid.
ing and wrote her where she would
find it. In the same letter he sen
back the deeds of everything he pos.
sessed, amounting to 500 acres oil
good Iowa land and which sold al
$50 and SIS per acre for the salts
faction of the creditors. If Sandrine
had been able to have tided owe the
financial reverses IF the panic veal
and held on to his Iowa land till now
the rise in value would have dis
charged every obligation, and hi
would have been a free man instead
of a hunted law breaker. Anothel
incident in connection with his career
is that he was when a young ma,
the victim of a forger himself ant
paid $4,000 for a farm, to find short
ly after that the owners name hat
been forged to the deed and he los
