feet the slight change necessary to
cut this out will be prepared.
Mr.. Caswell, editor. wants the wolf
bounty reduced from $40 to $40, so
that 1t will not be quite so profitable to
rear wolf cubs to an age when the full
bounty is obtainable. Then he would
also have the matter OF giving 10
cent bounty for pocket gophers left
optional with the boarG xGs shnervis-
ors, for in some counted they do not
want to offir this bounty. ~
Should the two bills, already drafted
and soon to. be introduced sby Rep
resentative Eggleston of Clarke coun-
ty be made into law, the farmers of
Iowa will have removed, according to
Mr.. Eggleston. their chief causes for
complaint against taxation conditions.
One bill would REPEAL the capitol eS-
tension measure and provide for the
appointment of a commission to resell
the acreage included in the extern
sion project.
The other bill would make farm
property taxable only as money and
credits are taxable: the assessable
valuation would be based only upon the
property's1 cash valuation.
Mr.. Eggleston claims to have infor-
nation indicating that he would by
no means have to depend upon the
democratic side of the house for sup
port of these measures.

FIND LITTLE EVIDENCE
Murder Trial Of Mrs. Charlotte Van
Horn Not to Be Reached at Present
Term Of Court Unless Defendant Do

nands Immediate Hearing.
Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Jan. 22.-Unless the de-
PENDANT demands an immediate trial ~
Is not probable that the case OF the
state of Iowa VS.. Mrs. Charlotte Van
Horn will be reached at this term of
the court. From what can be learned
the evidence as yet is insufficient for
u conviction, and it has been thought
right along that there would be devel-
opments along q certain line that would
quickly solve the murder mystery. Mrs.
Van Horn is at a private sanatorium in
Des Moines and from reports Is not
worrying much over the outcome. Clear
Lake people, the home of the defendant
are very confident that If Mrs. Van
Horn murdered her husband she was
not alone in the crime. and there is
hardly a man in the community who
does not believe that murder was
committed.
Detective Charles Hedin is devotng
a good deal of time in ferreting out the
case and 1t is believed that when the
evidence is submitted to the grand jury
it will be much stronger than that pre-
scented to Justice Stanbery when he
bound the defendant to the grand jury
in the sum of $1,000. In most every
respect the case Is similar to that of
Mrs. Brazell, who was convicted in the
Dubuque courts and sentenced to
twenty years in the penitentiary. but
who was recently granted new trial.
