ASKED To EXPLAIN
PENSION OF BLIND.
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE
ISSUES STATEMENT REGARD
ING NEW LAW.

Des Moines, Aug. 1.-THE attorney
generals Office has been asked TO ex-
plain the law passed by the last gen.
eral assembly with reference to
counties paying an annuity Of $3.50
per year to blind persons. The law
reads county clerk" when as mat
ter Of fact this state does not have
county clerks although the clerk of the
district court Is commonly SO called.
This Is an error and came about from
the fact that the law was copied from
that of another state where they do
have county clerks. The law provides
that blind persons over 81 in the case
of men and over IS in the case Of
women, who have an income less than
$500 year and are not county charges
or inmates Of any state home, can re-
ceive an annuity from the county of
not to exceed $3.50 per year. The
law provides that the application must
be filed with the county clerk" At
torney General Cosson has ruled that
this law makes it amendatory on the
clerk to register the names Of the
blind in his county and that tran
script of the same should be furnished
the county auditor and that he on his
own motion should make duplicate
record for the benefit Of the super
visors.

GROCERY At HIGHLAND CENTER
ENTERED AND GASOLINE
TAKEN SUNDAY NIGHT.


The thief who stole the automobile
owned by Otis Shadford of Agency
while it stood in front OF the M. Ram
erick residence 445 East Fourth street
Sunday night, is thought to have taken
on more gas at Highland Center. The
car was taken while Messrs. Rodioaush
and Shadford Of Agency with the
bloodhounds were trailing the thief who
entered the Kamerick house earlier In
the night Fred Reiselt, the correspond
ent for The Courier at Highland Center
states that some one broke into the
gasoline house Of L.. Drummond,
grocer there, Sunday night and took
quantity Of gasoline, later leaving In
the direction Of Hedrick. Neighbors
saw the light at the store but the
cause was not known until the morning
after when Mr.. Drummond found the
broken into and gasoline spill
ed about the place 1t is believed that
the auto thief from Ottumwa also took
the gasoline as there was but a gallon
and half of gas in the car when
stolen.

ASK STATE TO RULE
UPON AUTO ACTION

Dubuque, Aug. 11.-Attorney Gener-
al Cosson has been asked by County
Attorney Henry H. Jebens for an opin-
ion as to the extent of the liability of
w. E. Snider, the local real estate man
arrested on charge of violating the
automobile registration laws.
Snider's case was set for today in
police court but at the request Of the
county attorney continuance was
granted until Saturday or until re-
ply from the attorney general is re-
ceived. The defendant has retained
Attorney A. G. Bush to represent him.
Under the present charge the max
imum fine against Snider will be $50.
1t is the belief of County Attorney
Jebens, however, that Snider may be
held on more serious charge in con-
nection with the claim of the prosecu-
ton that he had tempered with his
license number. 1t is be-
cause of this contention that the coun-
ty attorney has communicated with
the attorney general and Is now
awaiting reply.
