the murder Of his father. Williams
Immediately came here and after waiv-
ing examination gave bond in the sum
of $4,000 for his appearance In court
Nov. II, for trial.
John Il. Williams mysteriously dis
appeared from his home in March,
1913, and about two weeks later his
body was found in the pasture on his
farm near Redding. Mr.. Williams
neighbors secuted the theory of suicide
and after the body had been buried it
was taken up and an inquest held.
A transcript Of the evidence was
taken and presented to the grand jury
resulting in an indictment charging
first degree murder against Elmer Will
liams. There was a belief, from the
evidence. that the crime might have
been committed near Blockton and the
body carried to the pasture where 1t
was found. and it was thought advis-
able, in such event, that the Taylor
county grand jury should be called up
on to act and for this reason the in
dictment against Williams was dis
missed without prejudice. The more
recent indictment followed in this
county. The accused has secured the
services of several attorneys to fight
the case 5es

GREENE scoLDs APPLE GROWERS
/ Bad Business Judgment in Permitting
| Fruit to Go TO Waste.

| Des MoinpS, Oct 9.--Wesley Greene,
| state horticulturist, is scolding the
Iowa farmer for letting apples rot on
{! poor business judgment. There is a.
market for every apple grown in the
+. state in his opinion.
{! The appt, crop of Iowa this year is
between 1000 600 and 100000 bushels,
| the reports show. OF this amount only
(, about half will get into the CONNER
+, cial trade. Mr. Greene says. The re
/. mainder will be used on the farms
!, and big share will be wasted, he
| added.
! 1T does not show good business
| Judgment to let crop nature and not
know where to sell it." said Mr.
Greene "'rne farmer should take care
T, of his fruit. pick it at the proper time
| and prepare it for market. There Will
1 be demand for all the fruit Iowa
! can grow, at good prices. What the
grower needs to learn is how to pre-
pare the fruit for the market and how
to sell it.
Where there is a surplus of APP
pies in some sections there is lack
of the fruit in others The grocers
should learn of these markets before
the crop natures so as TO be prepared
to handle the situation.
The market may be glutted at
times. When this happens the grower
should place the fruit in a cool place or
in cold storage to be held until prices

BILE For German College Victory.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, Oct. 9.-Mister Butler,
the colored quarterback of the Du-
buque German College, defeated the
Ellsworth College team here yester-
day. OF course. there were ten other
players on the Dubuque end of the
game but they were merely accessories
to the fact. If the Dubuque college
team wins the Hawkeye championship
this season, as the dope now indicates,
the major portion of the credit for
the honor will go to Butler who is
sure some football player.
The score indicates the relative
strength of the teams and with Butler
eliminated, the teams would have been
evenly matched. AS it was. when Du-
budue wanted touchdown or was
hard put for a gain. Butler was called
and never failed to respond.
Early in the game. Virgins, one Of
the best players of the Ellsworth team.
who was injured in the Ellsworth
Ames game, two weeks ago, was hurt
by hard fall when tackled. This
crippled the local team and later on in
the game other players were put out
of commission.
One of the prettiest plays of the game
was a drop kick from the thirty-yard
line by Parker. of the Dubuque team.
Unlike the game last week with
Buena Vista. the Dubuque contest was
a clean one and the visitors played
the game in line with true football
