died at his home near Casey, Iowa,
October %, 1920, at the age of 70
years, 6 months and Is days. While
not being so very we'll yet he had
been in apparently good health and
had driven the car to Casey and

to do some chores and was found

came to Pottawattamie county and
was married there. He moved
from there to Extra where he re-
manned for 81 years, coming from
there to his present home near
Casey where he lived over 20 years.
He has always lived on the same
place making the home as it is and
himself making all the improve
ments. His expectations to live and
die there have been fulfilled. His
life has extended over many event.
full years. AS one of the early set
tiers of this state he has seen won
derful developments and changes.
He first joined the Methodist church
at Extra and later united with the
Methodist church here. He was a
worthy member Of the church and
sought to keep his hands his life
pure. He was as good a friend and
neighbor as could be wished for
always friendly and helpful 1t is
such lives as his that are builders
IN the real sense and have helped
to make our state and country
what they are both materially anc
spiritually.

SvmDfOmS
Symptoms

Birds affected with the most
common form of roup usually show
at first the symptoms of cold. A
very offensive odor is present and
there is a watery discharge FROM
the nostril aud eye. Later this
may be foamy white and then
yellowish. AS the disease progress
es, whitish patches may appear i.
the throat or mouth and the eve
may swell. In case the eyelid be-
comes stuck together the eye may
be enormously distended by the
accumulation of pus in the eyesock-
ct or the face may be swollen below
the eye. In one form sores appear
on the face and comb and mag
spread to other regions and in an
other there is a rafting in the
throat due to pus forming in the
CLOTHS. All these symptoms may
present, or the disease may be
localized and only one appear. :.

Method of Spread

Infected birds carry the disease
from place to place and infect others
by contact. 1t is also spread
through the drinking water and
feed. 1t may spread rapidly through
out an entire flock or attack only q
few birds, depending upon the viru-
lence of the organism and the resis-
lance Of the birds. In some ceses
it is highly fatal and in others the
birds suffer little Inconvenience,
sometimes laying throughout the
course Of the diseases.

RENO DIVORCE CASE
RESULTS IN ARREST
INSIDE WORKINGS OF SHORT
TERN" DIVORCE EXPLAINED;
ARREST Is RESULT OF BAR
ASSOCIATION PROTESTATIONS

Charged with s%ubornation of per-
jury, alleged to have been committed
in March 1919, in the case in which he
was attorney for the plaintiff in a
divorce case. william III. Sheldon,
formerly Schnitzer, was arrested by
Chief Kirkley, says the Reno Gazette.
The complaint against Sheldon was
issued by District Attorney Summer
field and the warrant by Francis Cum
bingham, justice Of the peace of
Sparks. Sheldon was released on
$4,000 bail.
The complaint is based on the af-
fidavit of Mrs. v. r. Weaver. now a
resident Of Oakland, Cal, secured by
District Attorney Summerfield on a
recent trip to the Coast city. The
proceedings developed as a result of
a letter written voluntarily tt the dis
trict attorney in which she set forth
facts, which led her to believe that
her divorce had not been secured in
a regular manner. Acting on this in
formation the district attorney visited
Mrs. Weaver and she gave him what
she said were the facts in connection
with her suit for divorce.
According to Mrs. Weaver's afida-
Wit she came to Reno three weeks be-
fore her suit was filed and consulted
Sheldon, intending to stay six months
and get a divorce. She says he in
formed her that for an increased fee
he could get a divorce for her In
less than the usual six months.
Her husband, Floyd Weaver. was in
Los Angeles, and Mrs. Weaver says
negotiations were opened with him
looking toward his coming to Reno
to accept service. She. said she ad-
vised her husband not to come be-
cause of the increased fee Sheldon
wished to exact. However. according
TO the affidavit, Weaver came to Reno
and was met at the train by his wife
she having been advised when he
would arrive. The next day, Mrs
Weaver says, she saw her husband in
Sheldon's Office. She says Sheldon
advised her to take her husband to a
certain hotel because 1t would be
more convenient to take his deposition
there.
A few days later, according to Mrs
Weaver's affidavit, she ven to Shell
don's Office and was coached by hin
relative to the testimony she was tt
give when her case was heard. Shell
don advised her to testify. Mrs. Wea.
yer says, hat she did not know hel
! husband was coming to Reno and die
