In the winter of 1915 he was TAX

Grusome Find i'm Attic.

The sheriff and county attorney
were called to the Krans farm, one
half mile southeast of Wesley, Iowa,
by Frank Johnson, the renter of the
farm. 1t seems that Johnson leased
this farm, which is known as the
Krans farm and took possession
March l, 1916. Johnson's family
consists of only himself and wife,
so he has little occasion to use the
upstairs of the house. However, he
had noticed an unpleasant odor on
the second floor, and suspected that
there was dead rat somewhere
about. Accordingly he decided to
investigate and opened a door in the
hall ceiling which opened into the
attic of the house. About a foot
from the door he discovered a bum
die of rags and removed them to the
outdoors, where he investigated and
found the decomposed body of an
infant wrapped up in the bundle.

THE SAME OLD STORY,
This Time A Live" Doctor Hides
His Money.

Caledonia, Ia, Sept. 4.-Detec-
tives employed to locate the persons
who stole $2,450 which had been
buried by DR.. A. w. Reynolds in his
garden at this place, so far have not
been successful. Apparently there
are no clues to follow. DR.. Reynolds
has been practicing at Caledonia, an
inland town ten miles southeast OF
Mount Ayr, for the past fifteen years
He has refused to deposit his money
in banks and what actual cash he
has on hand he has been in the habit
of burying in the ground around his
home.
According to DR.. Reynolds story
he received $4,000 payment from a
farmer to cancel loan. The money
came in Friday night. Reynolds lad
arranged to take a patient to Kan
sas City on Saturday. He says that
Saturday morning at 800 o'clock he
buried the $4,000 in his garden. he
went to Kansas City and retGrne 1
Saturday afternoon. When a prospec-
tive borrower appeared, Reynolds
went to look for the roll of bills re
had buried. The money had disap-
peared.
In addition to the $4,000 which
he had just received, Reynolds said
he had buried $3.50 which he had on
hand-the total amount being ST.
$50. The money had been placed in
fruit jar. Many persons in the vi
entity of Caledonia were aware that
DR.. Reynolds would not deposit in
banks. He was not afraid the insti-
tutions were not sound, but he liked
to have his money around so he could
make loan without loss of sine.
The doctor will probably decide he
is not so busy after all, in the future
and take time to put his money in the
bank.

Scentless Skunks Received.

The Waukon express Office receiv-
ed about the queerest shipment Sat
urday morning the employees have
ever been called upon to handle. 1t
consisted of two small crates, one
containing two and the other four,
live skunks. They were sent by W..
C. Hawkins, Hallack, Mimi, and
were consigned to John Haugsted,
who lives in northwest Union Prairie
township. The crates were labeled
"Fine Scentless Black Skunks, value
$50" We noticed that regardless
of the word ''scentless" the express
boys, and others who discovered
what was in the boxes, were pretty
careful about stirring up the "ani-
miles" Haugsted must be starting a
skunk factocy.-Allamakee Journal

Auto Accident at Mabel.

A buggy was demolished and two
young ladies bruised last Sunday af-
ternoon in a collision that happened
on the street in front of the O..
Christopherson residence. A Ford
runabout driven by Maurice Wal
hus was the cause of the smash-up
The young ladies daughters of Mr.
and Mrs. Wells Emery, who live five
miles south of Burr Oak, were driv-
ing into town from the west and
Maurice Walhus was going East,
and in trying to pass another auto
going in the same direction ran into
the buggy, throwing the girls out
and badly wrecking their convey
ance. The youngest of the two was
thrown in such a manner as to light
on her side, injuring her arm and
bruising her entire side, while the
Oldest escaped with only the effects
of the jolting. After being fitted out
with another buggy they left on
their return trip home.-Mabel Rec
