LITIGATION
INCREASING
Ten Times as Many Suits Filed Here
in July as In the Same Month
Year Ago, Records
Show.

That people here were ten times
as belligerent this year as last year
in July, and that marriages became
five times as onerous to the united
couples, is shown by the record of
suits filed at Keokuk.
July, 1919, Witnessed the filing Of
ten new suits in the clerks office.
One lonely suit was filed in July,
1918.
Five of the ten suits filed in the
clerks office this July were divorces,
The one suit filed last July was a d.
vorce suit also. This large increase
in the number of divorces is con-
dition which exists all over the
country. Many OF the hasty mar
riages in the last two years in which
soldiers were the principals have
proved unsatisfactory and they are
experimenting with divorces now.
Aside from divorces, the other half
of the suits filed were chiefly for
money alleged to be due, with one
big damage suit for the killing OF a
Iaborer by the Rock Island railroad.

Burned While in Operation
on His Farm Near
Colusa

The threshing machine Of Carl
Griffith, a farmer west of Colusa,

operated on his farm. The only
cause of the fire advanced is that a
match was in a sheaf Of wheat which
went through the separator.
The other day in another thresh-
ing machine in Hancock county, a
fire started in the cylinder, but was
extinguished with the force pump on
the water tank and the machine was
saved.

CIRCULATING PETITIONS
Neither Cheap Nor Extravasan~.


There was no discussion at the
commission meeting about the site
of the building, its cost, nor any
other detail, nor has there been any
except in general terms.
I'VE do not expect to seriously
discuss the cost Of the building very
soon," said a member Of the COM
mission today. for It is utterly USE
less now to talk any definite figures,
I'VE are naturally of one mind In
believing that the building should be
neither a cheap thing, nor on the
other hand exorbitant IN cost. We
want building that will be credit
to the town and one that will satisfy
the people Of Keokuk.
but to attempt to say off-hand
this early how much that sort OF
building will cost is to simply guess
at it, especially as we have not
talked a word to any architest."

THEY CONTINUE TODAY

f. A. Garfield, president of the Iowa
Federation of Labor, is holding a
series of conferences with President
Gabeline, of the Standard Four Tire
company, seeking to settle the strike
which has been on at the tire plant
for several weeks.
The strike was precipitated by the
anger of the men at the talk and &C
lions Of superintendent Brown, and
the organized labor leaders of Keokuk
tried hard to keep the men from
going out until President Gabeline
could be consulted, as the latter got
his first information about the trouble
after the men quit work.
Under these conditions, President
Garfield thought that perhaps he and
President Gabeline might each take a
somewhat detached view of the mat
ter, since both are in the same boat,
and settle the trouble between the fac
tory superintendent and the tire
makers.

An Invisible Strike.


They held one conference here yes
terday afternoon and another in Bur-
lington this afternoon.
Nothing was given out here about
the talks between the two men, and
nothing indicating any quick ending
Of the strike developed. President
Garfield met with mass meeting of
the strikers last night in their hall.
It would require search warrant
to find any evidence in town that
there is a strike on of over a hundred
factory workmen. The men have
either gone to other jobs or are stay
ing at home, and there Is not the least
sign of anything unusual in Keokuk.
Even at the strikers headquarters.
nobody fingers, and 1t is hard task
to find even a member of the execu-
tive committee of the men. At the
plant things are equally peaceful, and
about ten of the strikers have returned
to work, four of whom are tire
builders.

so, we have not even discussed a
site yet, and all rumors about where
the building is to be have no basis
in anything that has been done so
far. OF course it is not going to be
out in the edge of town, or down on
the levee, and l think the commits
sion, the council and the advice of
Keokuk citizens will finally choose
the proper site.
But this is not the time to pick
one-it is entirely too early in the
proceedings, and we have not dis
cussed It,"

COLD STORAGE SOLD OUT.

SOLD olONAUC zulu OOl L.
The Missouri Valley Ice and Cold
Storage Co. changed hands today, be-
ing purchased by the Higgins Pack
ing Co. of Omaha. They took charge
this morning.
The local plant has been in sue
cessful operation for the past several
years, not only doing general cold
storage business, but also making ar
tificial ice and soft drinks. Local
concerns of this kind are gradually
being absorbed by the larger inter-
ests, however, on account of their SUI
perior marketing facilities and larger
markets.
The Higgins Packing Co. is sue
cessful company of Omaha, doing a
general packing business there. They
propose making this subsidiary sta
ton, shipping their meat in here, in
carload lots, and reshipping from
here in smaller quantities to the mar
kets in this part of the state. This
will give Missouri Valley and West
ern Iowa a decided advantage, as
they will be able to secure fresh
meats at all>times, as it can be truck
ed from here as soon as the various
truck lines, now contemplated, are in
operation.
The present force at the plant will
continue in charge.

JOHN CHRISTIAN COMMITS
SUICIDE.

: At 1:15 p. M, today, shot startled
!. residents of East Michigan street,
! and an immediate investigation fol-
lowed.
, j. j. Owen, who resides at 819 East
Michigan, went one block east of his
. home and just over the knoll at the
end of the street, found the lifeless
body of John Christman. Death must
! have been instantaneous.
Christman was lying on his right
side and a 3S-calibre revolver was
near the body. The bullet entered the
right temple and came out the top of
his head.
Just after o'clock, Christman, who
resides with his family at 814 East
Michigan, went across the street to
neighbor, F. w. Bentley, and bor-
rowed the revolver. He did not state
the purpose for which he wanted it,
but nothing strange was thought of
this, as he had often borrowed it be-
fore. A few moments later the shot
was heard. His wife states that he
was seemingly cheerful at dinner
time, and on leaving the house he bid
her goodbye in the usual manner. He
is survived by the wife and three chill
dren.
No cause is assigned for the deed.
An inquest will be held at 9 a. m.
Tuesday morning, at the Hennessey
parlors.
