CRAFTS BONES FROM SHEEP IN
MANS LEG.

George Hoy, of Lagrange, had a
piece of bone from the leg OF a
sheep grated into his leg on Easter
Sunday, to bring about the repair OF
an ununited fracture.
Seven weeks ago buck sheep broke
both bones below the knee IN MT.
Hoy's leg. A son of this same PUCK
born on Christmas day, was brought
with Mr.. Hoy to the American School
of Oesteopathy hospital. On Easter
Sunday he was killed to furnish bone
to repair the break and the next day
Mr.. Hoy helped eat his flesh.
The operation was performed by
DR.. George Still and gives every sign
of proving successful.
Mrs. Homer Phenicie of this city is
now student in the American
School of Oesteopathy at kirksville,
Missouri.

MAN DIES
FROM GUN WOUNDS
GEO. BRIGGS IS HELD FOR SHOOT.
ING, PRELIMINARY HEARING
TO BE HELD SOON.
YOUNG MAN MEETS TRAGIC DEATH
Leon Wallace OF WOrthingtOn, Drawn
In Drilling Machine and Instant
ly Killed.

The Democrat of last week contain
ed a brief notice of the shooting of
James Waite of Edgewpod which oc-
Cured on the morning Of April 9th.
Death did not result Immediately, and
hopes were entertained by the friends
Of Mr.. Waite for his recovery. But he
died on Sunday evening last, and the
man who fired the shot will therefore
face charge of murder in all prob
ability. George Briggs Of Greeley was
arrested last week on suspicion Of be-
ing the guilty man and is held for a
preliminary hearing. ! Probably the
hearing was postponed until the fate
OF the victim could be definitely de-
termined. Since the death of Mr..
Waite rumor has been in circulation
that Briggs had confessed to the
shooting, but this we have been unable
to verify. At the time of going to
press, the time for the preliminary
hearing had not been set.

RILEY w. HAYNES.

Full of years and honors, loved by
his family and friends, respected by
his neighbors, Riley w. Haynes pass
ed away on Monday morning, April 21
1919, at the home of his son, Charles
in Milo township. He was born in Al
bany county, New York, July Z, 1887
After living for some years with his
parents at Clarksville, Ohio, he came
to Iowa at the age Of nineteen, to have
a look at this new country, which was
then attracting the attention of pros
pective settlers in the east. After
spending some time in the neighbor-
borhood of Anamosa. he returned to his
home in Ohio in 1859, married Miss
Lucy Utley, and soon after brought
his<wife to Milo township, where they
settled on farm short distance
south of Manchester. Both spent the
remainder Of their lives in this town
ship. They were frugal and indus
trious people, and they prospered as
the years passed. Mrs. Haynes died
in January, 1910, and Mr.. Haynes from
with one or the other of his sons. In
August. 1917 he suffered stroke of
paralysis from the effects of which he
never fully recovered. He is surviv-
ed by his two sons, Guy and Charles
Haynes Of Milo township, daughter,
Mrs. Sarah e. Fisher Of Manchester,
three brothers, Al. Haynes, OF Kan-
sas, John Haynes of Cedar Falls, and
Cal Haynes Of Arkansas, and step
sister. Mrs. Tina Squires Of Suther-
land, Iowa. A younger daughter died at
the age of 81.
Mr.. Haynes was exceedingly for
tunate in enjoying the filial care and
devotion Of his sons during his declin-
ing years. They and the members Of
their families did all they could to
smooth the pathway for his feet, as
with much pain and feebleness he pass
ed slowly down into the valley Of
beyond whose mountain rims
dawns the light of the eternal day.
They in turn will carry with them the
memory OF father who in all the DIFF
ferent relations of life ever held before
them the example of an honest and up
right man. Funeral services were con-
Quoted in the home by the Rev. w. ].
Suckow on Wednesday morning, as
sisted by quartette composed Of Mr..
and Mrs. NJ. J. Yoran, Mrs. Edwin Da-
Wis and Mr.. A. D. Brown. The remains
were inferred in the family cemetery
q mile and half from the home.

KITCHEN SHOWER.

On Friday evening of last week the
ladies of the Congregational church
gave shower for their new kitchen
which was largely attended and was
a most successful affair, both in the
matter Of articles and money con-
tributed and from social point OF
view. The long and tastefully decor
ated tables were spread with a boun-
tiful picnic supper, to which company
Of about eighty people sat down. The
ladies' have a nicely arranged kitch-
en- in the basement of the new church,

WE'LL DRuLER is KILLED.

At 1880 on Tuesday forenoon Of this
week Sheriff Pride was notified by
telephone that farmer in North Fork
township, Herbert Benn by name. had
Just found Mr.. Leon Wallace, hang
ing dead on a we'll drilling outfit. A
physician from Worthington was
hastily summoned, and the results Of
his investigations, as communicated
to the coroner. plainly indicate that
it was not case OF suicide, as was at
first supposed, but Of accident. al
though of a peculiar kind. 1t seems
that Wallace had been working about
we'll drilling outfit and had used a
rope in his operations A pulley broke
and the rope became fastened under
the young mans chin, drawing him in
to the machinery.

GET.TOGETHER MEETING.

Farmers in the Robinson District
of Adams Township had a get-togeth-
er meeting on Thursday evening. There
was a good attendance, the County
Agent maving been invited to address
the meeting.
Club Work and what it means to a
community was discussed and also the
value Of the partnership idea on the
farm. The speaker endeavored to show
the need of closer cooperation in the
home life and on the farm especially
in relationship to children if boys and
girls are to be kept on the farm, they
have to be given an interest in the
operations of the farm. If boys and
girls. can see that they are receiving
some of the benefits of their own Ia
Dor and that they have voice in the
operation of the farm business they
are going to be interested to the ex-
tent that they do not care to leave
the farm unless it would be to start
for themselves. The speaker empha-
sized the fact Of giving boys and girls
something to raise and teach them
not only the need of being responsible
for certain duties but to give them
a business training. That is one OF
the things which the club work has
for its purpose in developing boys and
girls on various lines. 1t is through
competition and the use of ones facu-
lities that we become experienced and
efficient.
The purpose of the future Farm
Bureau work was also touched upon
by the speaker in hopes that more
farmers in Adams Township would al,
lign with this great movement.
Mr.. Charles Swindell, chairman Of
the meeting, was desirous that these
getItogether meetings be continued
and eventually a community club b
established in that part of the county

The total issue for the United States
is $4,000, 100000. The bonds OF this
fifth series are the most desirable OF
any yet offered, both as respects in
terest rates and conversion privileges,
as we'll as time of maturity. The
bonds bear interest at the rate OF four
and three fourth per cent. per annum,
with semi annual interest payments.
They bear interest from May goth,
1919, and mature May Goth 1928. They
are convertible at any time into 3-4
gold notes, which are in turn convert
ible into 3 3-4 gold notes, these notes
being exempt from certain kinds OF
taxation, according to their rate OF in
terest The gold notes are of advan-
tage mainly to large subscribers for
bonds.
The purchase of these bonds Is In
every way desirable investment, and
will appeal to both rich and poor on
financial as we'll as patriotic grounds.
All signs indicate that Delaware coun-
ty will go cover the top" within very
few days.
Mr.. Matthews will be assisted in his
work by competent executive COM
mittee, composed of F. Fl. Munson, c.
G. Yoran and H. w. Phenicie. Every
citizen is being notified before May
1st as to where and before what COM
mittee he may subscribe for the
amount allotted to him or her, which
will in general represent about 80 per
cent. of his subscription to the fourth
liberty loan. The banks are not per-
mitted to accept subscriptions for less
than the individuals quota In order
to simplify the keeping of accounts,
all citizens are requested to subscribe
for their allotments before their prop
er committees.

VICTORY LOAN PLAY.

Miss Vina Brazelton, chairman OF
the local Victory Loan Publicity Com
mittee, has kindly furnished US with a
cast of the play to be given on Wednes-
day evening. May 7th, at the High
school auditorium, in the interest OF
the Victory Loan drive. The material
of the play has been sent out by the
publicity bureau at Washington. and
the purpose, besides stimulating inter
est in the drive, is to provide funds for
purchasing Victory bonds for the con-
valescent soldiers of Fort Des Moines
hospital. The plan is to give the play
in three or four towns of each county.
II any one town succeeds in raising
enough money for fifty or hundred
dollar bond, the bond will be presented
to some soldier boy among the con-
yalescents from or near that town. II
sufficient amount is not realized in
this way, the proceeds from several
towns will be combined. In this way
not only more bonds will be sold, but
recognition will be given to some wor-
thv soldier who has sacrificed his
health in the service of his country.
The plan carries its own appeal. The
following is the cast Of the play:

stacle re struck it full tilt The
crossing rever flinched, but every
body else did. One of the lady passen
gers SIMPLY went up into the air, lit
orally as well as figuratively, until she
reached the limits of her flight by
striking one of the bows of the top
whereupon she descended with the
same speed to the bottom OF the car
The great machine came to an igno-
minious standstill, and as it stood
shivering and detected by the roadside,
rapid inventory of damages was TAX
en-. Then the patient was gently con-
veyed to her home, and with competent
medical aid and few days rest she
was enabled to be about again.
But, alas! Mr.. Ram as en- auto ex-
pert was forever discredited and his
reputation as a model driver of cars
hopelessly shattered. The Engineer
ing institute hung its doors with crepe
for week, the classes were discon-
tinued, and the faculty disbanded. Be-
fore they did so, however, they confer
red upon Mr.. Ram the honorary title
of Professor Emeritus, in recognition
of his long and distinguished services.
The question before the citizens of
Manchester now is, shall this splendid
institution be allowed to remain for
ever in what Grover Cleveland would
call "a state of inocuous desuetude?
Or shall 1t be resurrected from its un-
timely grave and restored to its pris-
tine vigor? It is certainly needed.
Since it has suspended its beneficent
activities, all sorts of mishaps and ac-
cidents have occurred, due to the ig-
norance and inexperience Of drivers.
We suggest that the Institute be re-
vived at once and competent man
placed at its head.
Possibly some Of our readers might
be puzzled to know where the compe-
tent man is to be found. The Demo-
crat would here venture to propose the
name of a man who has recently
demonstrated his fitness for the posi-
ton beyond all question. 1t Is Mr..
Chas. B. Baumgartner, one of the man-
ufacturing magnates Of our city, and
long known among the auto fraternity
as driver of unfailing nerve and
skill The special demonstration of
these qualities to which We refer oc-
CURED few days ago when Mr.. Baum
gartner undertook to convey Supt. J.
S. Hilliard to school meeting Of some
sort at Waterloo. Six hours were
consumed on the trip, five blowouts
occurred, two castings and three inner
tubes were chewed up. The available
funds of both the driver and his pas
senger were exhausted long before all
the needed repairs could be made, and
they were obliged to give their notes
in order to obtain the necessary ac-
cessories. But they got there just the
same. Now we contend that a man
who can triumph in the face OF such
diabOlical array of obstacles, and
snatch victory from such formidable
jaws Of defeat. has demonstrated his
fitness to become head of the Manches-
ter School Of Auto Engineering in a
manner beyond all controversy We
nominate Mr.. Baumgartner for the va
cancy.
