JOHN CATER PAROLED
Was Sentenced to Life Imprisonment
From Winneshiek County Nearly
Quarter Century Ago.
He is Now go Years Old, Broken i'm
Health and Paralytic and i'm
Critical Condition.

Another life prisoner at Ana,
mosa is going home to die-or al
least to the only place which he
might be permitted to call home
John Fl. Cater, convicted a quarter
of century ago for the murder OF
George Wemett, in Winneshiek
county, and sentenced to life i'm
prisonment, was last week notified
that hi; sentence had not only been
committed to forty-five years, but
that upon recommendation of the
state board of parole he would be
permitted to go home to his sister az
Harmony, Mimi, just a few miles
north of Burr Oak, in which the al
legged crime was committed.
The recommendation in Caters
behalf is based upon the fact that
he is SO years old, is broken in
health, is paralytic, and the prison
physician declares him to be in
critical condition.
The Cater case recalls another
of those sensational crimes which
occurred in Iowa a generation ago.
Cater and Wemett were both resi-
dents of Burr Oak. Cater was mar

time for a general meeting of men
interested in Pure Bred livestock.
Under the auspices of this newly
formed association, was held a two
dap sale of Pure Bred cattle and
hogs, on November 10 and IA. The
combined receipts of this two-day
sale were $S50O.0o. The general re-
suit of this sale was quite salts
factory, considering the amount of
stock which was available for sale
of this character, and the time in
which the stock was prepared, and
the sale put up.
On Saturday, December Z, this AS
ISOLATION will hold it's first annual
meeting in DEBORAH. Outside speakers
have been procured to talk to us on
the value of better livestock, as well
as to make suggestions for livestock
improvement. Mr.. Roy O'Donnell of
Mason City, has promised to be with
us. Others will be procured from
nearby. If nothing prevents, this
session will be held in the large court
rooms. Otherwise, provisions will be
made in quarters nearby.
We have arranged for an aIl-day
session so that we may offer oppor-
tunities for the breeders of the
various classes OF livestock, to hold
sectional meetings during the earlier
part of the afternoon A general ses-
sion will be held during the forenoon
from 1890 to IL O'Clock and in the
afternoon from $3.50 to 1880. At the

ton will also be made, showing the
financial statement of the sale above
mentioned.
Anyone interested in better live
stock, is urged to be present at this
convention. We welcome your sug-
gestions and hope it will be of inter-
est and value to you. Pass the word
on to your neighbor.

16 and IL years. Wemett, single
man, worked some for Cater and at
times boarded with the family
There had been some trouble be-
tween Cater and his wife over the
sale of lot 1t was also claimed
that Wemett was anxious to marry
the oldest Cater girl, that the moth
er favored the match and the father
opposed it.
One night the mother disappeared
and the daughter, going to the barn
discovered the feet of her mother
Iprotruding from under pile of hay.
She had been killed by the infection
of heavy blows on the head. Soon
after this the body of George Wemett
was found in the school house yarG
forty rods distant. He had been shot
and a gun was discovered near his
body.
Feeling ran high against Cater
and a change of venue for trial was
granted to Fayette county. The &C.
Tense made the claim that Wemett
had killed Mrs. Cater and then him
self.
Following conviction an appeal
was taken to the supreme court re-
versed the case on question of trial

secured from which no appeal was
taken.

Editorial for Bows

On March Is a trumpet call will sound thruout
the United States for every boy of good health and
good muscle, between the ages of 16 and o. to
come and help Uncle Sam win the war.
The call will affect hundreds of boys here in Ia
coma.
Seems to us we'd like to be boy again, to come
a-running in response to that call.
Here's the idea: The war has taken thousands
of young chaps ABOVE the age of 81 from the
farms, leaving big labor shortage
Now, the younger boys are to be asked to voIn-
teer their services for farm work to fill the breach
Here's what George AIDE says about it:
"Not all of the heroes are in the trenches
'You are not asked to work because you need the
money. You are asked to work because your coun-
try needs your help and relies upon you to chuck
false pride and join in the team work
'sIf your big brother dig trenches, surely you
can pillow corn"
There you are, boys! You see your country real
ly is depending on YOU! The food situation is the
critical one of the war. Food comes from FARMS
Farms must be worked, and it's up to you to work
sem
Sort Of fine big responsibility you've been
privileged to assume, don't you thinkf Besides,
strikes lis twill be lot of fun-a summer in camp,
outdoor work and play, and farm things to eatl

For the most part Tacoma was with us, but there
was no feasible way of bringing the change in

S Some of our good friends the labor leaders, made
rather mean remarks about proposal. They
said it was "capitalistic" and that we were in a
hideous plot to rob the workingman of decent
working day, or something like that. few other
persons raised other objections. One Of the Tacoma
papers completely rewrote geography and meteor
Ology to prove that we were all wrong.
But in the meantime has come our entry in the
