KNOT TIED TWICE INSANE BOY KILLS
RUNS AMucK WITH SHOT GUN
NEAR BARNES CITY

Will Oliver, young man farmer
about thirty-five years of age, was shot
and instantly killed, at his home about
five miles northeast of Barnes City,
in Poweshiek County early Thursday
morning by ABBEY OF AS or 16 years of
age, a son of Albert Quaintance.
Oliver was sh6SAt his barn when he
went to do the morning milking.
Quaintance, ii seems was at the barn
waiting for him. He had shot gun.
So far as known no enmity existed be-
tween the two and Oliver paid no at
tention to the lad supposing possibly
he was going hunting, Quaintance
made no move until Oliver was within
thirty to forty feet of him when he
raised his gun quickly and fired. The
charge caught Oliver full in the face
and carried away part of his head,
the victim dying instantly.
After the shooting Quaintance is
said to have surveyed his work with a
show of supreme satisfaction, then
deliberately turned and walked slow
where he put up his gun, and attended
to his own chores. He was engaged in
milking as if nothing had happened
when placed under arrest.
The lad will give no explanation OF
the affair and appears to be uncon.
scious of the fact that he had killed
a man.
Young quaintance, it is said has
been regarded as queer or mentally
unbalanced for some time. He was
however a steady worker under direc'
ton and was Eighty" only by spells
Cause for the temporary grudgC
against Oliver cannot be assigned il
indeed any exists. They have previous
ly been upon the best of terms in a
Ineighborly sense and were frequently
going back and forth between farms
So far as known no words took place
between the men. AT least no CONVEX
sation was heard by others at the time
of the shooting.
Officers We're summoned as soon af
ter the shooting as possible and young
Quaintance was placed under arrest
He is now confined in the Jail at Mon
tezuma. That the boy is insane is gen
orally believed.
oliver was a popular young farmer
of the community and was well liked
by every one who knew him. He is
survived by a widow but has no child

WELL ENTERTAINED
EGG AND POULTRY MEN GUESTS
z.G AT CHICKEN SUPPER.

H. s. Rhynsburger, who had gath
cred company of his egg and poultry
customers in town Thursday to hear
the plea for conservation of the hen
y product of the land, did a most gra-
cious act in the evening by. escorting
Tic guests to the Lacey Hotel where
lie served a rather elaborate ban
quet or fried chicken supper" along
with innumerable side dishes and ac-
compartments. About thirty guests
were seated at the tables.
And then when every one felt well
satisfied with himself and the world
IL general, Mr.. Rhynsburger turned
the meeting over to Chas. Bogel, State
Dairy and Food Inspector Assistant.
4 little earlier in the session Mr..
J.app of Ames college, who was on
the program for the evening demon
stration at the city hall, told the mer-
chants and dealers something about
the handling of poultry, the import
ance and the worth of the game and
bcspeaking cooperation and better ef-
fort between merchant and handler
Nh Monahan, a government demon
strator and an expert on eggs, made
talk about "hen fruit" that was of
great interest for every heare-. The
speaker asserted that onefourth of
the eggs laid by the hen are lost, new
er used for food. Another fifteen per
cent are so deteriorated in handling
or between time of production and
reaching the consumer that they are
unfit, for food. Almost half of the
work of the hens set at naught, or
half of the hens of the land working
with no result.
This awful waste of eggs muNt stop.
Cooperation and better methoGs must
bring about conservation or saving
of the eggs.
All phases of the egg question were
handled. From the farmer to the
grocer and then to the market
Necessity for Gambling" eggs at all
seasons was emphasized and the
value of Gambling and its uses fully
set forth and exhibited.
Following the talks by Messrs.
at the table had questions to ask or
experience to relate and the hour was
well after ten o'clock before the COM
pany went to the city hall to view
the exhibits of eggs and poultry pre-
pared for the instruction of any who
cared to investigate. And here the
company spent the time until almost
midnight before leaving for their
homes.

Rhynsburger was made up of the fol-

The British after their victorious
drive through the Hindenburg defen.
sive are knocking at the gate OF Cam
brai but apparently are momentarily
pausing before attempting to force an
entrance.
Southeast Of Moeuvers several
thousand yards of the old Hindenburg
front line have been cleared up and
now are in possession of the British.
Prisoners to the number of more
than 10000 and guns exceeding 100 In
number have been taken by them In
this advance.
Meanwhile the center of greatest
activity has shifted to the Franco
American front where the Germans
are In full retreat on wide front
north Of the Vesle, with the French
ard Americans in pursuit and report
cd as having reached. the Aisne In
their chase.
Retire Over Wide Front
Between these two sectors another
notable German retrograde movement
is in progress. The French pressure
in the regions north and east of Noyon
has forced a German retirement on a
wide front in this sector and advances
Of 5 to 7 miles have been scored by
sthe French forces within the past 48
hours.
The town Of Guiscard has been cap
tured and the French have pressed
beyond until they are now but little
more than miles from the important
road center of Ham. The Germans
here are apparently heading back for
the ST. Quentin-Lafere line.
Between the Ailette and the Aisne
the French also are gaining ground.
They have crossed the Aisne at sew
eral points northeast of scissors and
have taken the town of Missy-sur-
Aisne on the north bank.
Retire to North.
Further north on this front they
have taken the towns OF Braye and
Clamecy.
The Franco-American operations on
the Vesle front has been extended fur
ther eastward towards Rheims and
new crossings have been effected on
the 21a mile front between VentrauA
and Jonchery. miles west of Rheims.
In the north the Germans are con-
tinuing to move backward along the
Flanders front. The British are ac-
celebrating the retirement by sharp at
tacks in one of which they captured
the village Of Ploegsteert. They have
regained their April line on the south

stores and supplies and additional ter

taken with little more than rear

resistance, General Humbert's army
broke the line and advanced in this
section from four to seven miles on

The concentration of German troops
in the wide front before Cambria has
served to slow down the British adj

though some progress is being made.
Increased German artillery fire is re-

the Germans had the advantage Of the

British to halt temporarily to give the
men much needed rest.
