EXPENSIVE GOPHER FEET.

Senator caswsIl Finds Thousands
Wasted on Gopher 6ounties.
Boone, Dec, 6.-Senator Caswell. or
Denison, addressed the farmers Of the
Taxpayers Alliance here recently at
which time he took advantage Of the
occasion to discuss one of his pet
measures" which he introduced In the
last session OF the general assembly:
that OF the bounty on gopher feet. He
gave comparative figures on the
amount expended by his home (Craw-
ford) county. That county paid out
the past year 1900 bounty on the feet
of this pest. while the operation OF the
district cost but $500. He presented
figures to demonstrate that most OF the
county offices of Crawford county were
operated for less money per year than
the amount paid out as a bounty on
gopher feet To add strength to his
argument that it was a useless ex-
pense, he had made systematic can
vass among the farmers in that county
to ascertain their opinion as TO the re-
suits. According to the information
given by the senator the unanimous
opinion OF the farmers were that II
was money wasted.

FIRE and Water Do Great Damage 10
Residence of Or. Stooksberry.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, Dec 6.--Fire ruined the
interior of the home Of DR. ]. H.
Stooksberry, Sunday forenoon. The
fire was discovered by Mrs. Stocks
berry, who saw smoke issuing from
the roof near the chimney. A fire alarm
was turned In and when the depart
ment arrived it was discovered that the
attic was on fire. Before 1t could be
extinguished, the two floors were wa
ter-soaked, the water doing more dam
age than the fire, which was confined
about the second story. The origin OF
the fire is unknown but is supposed to
have originated from defective wiring
or a defective chimney. The loss is
considerable but Is covered by a $4,000
policy in the Foster agency, the In
surance Company Of North Amerlca
carrying the risk. The location Of the
fire enabled neighbors to carry prac-
tically all the household goods to
place of safety and there will be small
loss on that item. The house was
built by H. B. Marks, who sold it to
DR.. Stooksberry eight years ago. Mr..
Marks now lives in Des Moines.

Jury Finds Trapper Not Guilty For
Killing Animals Out of Season.
Special to Times Republican.
Mason City. Dec. 6.-Trapping musk
rats out of season is no violation of
law if it can be proven that these ami
mails are committing depredations. That
was the holding Of a jury here which
heard the case against August Yost.
accused of having muskrat hides in his
possession out of season. And another
thing was learned. There is so little
corn and vegetation near Plymouth
that muskrats were driven to the place
that they became carniverous animals.
Evidence was offered that muskrats
destroyed chickens and ducks and
therefore committed depredations SUI
ficient to warrant a man in catching
them, whether the season was off or on.
August Yost had about a dozen OF
muskrat and mink skins in his pos
session when he was arrested by Game
Warden Mon Plasure.
