Last Friday night J. A. Keeran,
who lives on Route No. 2, had an
unusual experience with a hungry
wolf. Mr.. Keeran recently butcher
ed a big hog and was keeping the
meat in a barrel outside the house
over which was placed galvanized
tub as cover. About 1880 o'clock
Mrs. Keeran heard noise outside
the house and awakened her hus-
band and told him someone was after
their meat. He started to dress, but
Mrs. Keeran secured light and went
outside first. The barrel was over
turned and big ham was missing.
Mr.. Keeran followed the tracks of a
wolf out from the house a short dis
lance and found the ham partly eat
en-. He picked it up and took it
into the house, and few minutes
later went out to fix up the meat bar
rel when he discovered that the wolf
had returned the second time and
carried away a whole side of the
meat. He certainly was pretty
nervy fellow to make the second at
tack

New Law for Transforming Blind Per-
~ sons.

The new law providing for the
pensioning OF blind went into effect
on January 1, 1916. Is
The law provides that any man, 70
years old or over, or woman eighteen
years or over, who is blind and is not
an inmate of charitable institution,
or who has an income of less than
$500 a year, is eligible to a pension
to be paid by the county. The amount
of the pension is $3.50. The appli-
cant must have lived in the state five
years and in the county one year. -
Under the phrasing of the law, the
examining physician will make ex-
aminations the first week in January

taking advantage of the pension act
must file their application and be ex-
amined during that week.
Under the terms of the law an ap-
p.iIant for pension must first go to
the district court clerks office in the
presence of two witnesses who will
swear that the applicant is eligible.
On or before January Is, these affl-
davits are certified to the board OF
supervisors.

Farm

T. U. McCrystal, of Des Moines,
who formerly resided near Decatur
City. has purchased the 2S5 acre
farm northwest of Leon known as
the George T. Ogilvie farm from
Charles H. Richardson, of Brush,
Colorado, at 500 per acre. The sale
was made by Keller & Robertson, of
Leon, and Robert Bonnie, of Creston.
Mr.. McCrystal is well posted on farm
values in this county, and thinks he
secured a bargain in this farm at the
price. And just as an illustration as
to how Decatur county farm lands
are advancing in price, we will state
that when Mr.. Ogilvie came here
flom Illinois and purchased this farm
in 1 900, he bought it for $50 an acre.

where they were. They stopped at a
farm house and inquired the way,
and after being informed, started on,
but after driving for an hour or so
found themselves back at the same
