Caught Stealing Auto.

When Arthur Montgomery, of
Council Bluffs, heard auto thieves
attempting to drive his car from the
driveway where he is staying, early
Saturday morning, he jumped out of
bed and took several shots at two
dim forms which were standing by
the machine, according to police re-
ports. .......
One Of the shots undoubtedly took
effect, Montgomery says. as he saw
a man holding his shoulder and
rush madly down the street after the
revolver cracked the first time.
Montgomery is staying with J. w.
Kelley for a few days and there not

Restaurant Man Fatally Injured.

John Lohner, restaurant propri-
etor, of Kimballton, was probably
fatally injured when the automobile
in which he was riding with HIS son,
John, at the wheel, collided with a
moving train at the railroad cross
ing on Main street Saturday morn
ing.
The injured man was rushed to
Omaha on the train into which his
car had smashed. He was in an un-
conscious condition, having been Sc
verely cut about the head and shout
ders. First aid was rendered by the
crew of the train which stopped i'm
mediately the accident occurred.
The younger Lohner miraculously
escaped without injuries. although
the car was totally wrecked.
The two men were returning to
their place of business after milking
their cows on the outskirts of town,
and apparently did not see the train
as they approached the crossing.
They were travelling at an average
rate of speed, according to onlook-
ers.
Young Lohner was seen to jam
on the brakes as the engine steamed
across the road ahead of him, but
his action was too late to avoid a
collision.
The radiator of the automobile
struck the rear of the engine with
terrific force, throwing the senior
Lohner out over the windshield.
Although persons rushing to the
scene were unable to ascertain def
initely, it is thought that the injured
man was thrown head first against
the side Of the engine tender.
The son was extricated from the
wreckage and examination showed
him to have suffered nothing but a
few bruises. He was able only to
give a very disjointed account of the

affair, as he was grief-stricken over
the state of his father.
Iowa to Have Big Corn Crop.

In the month of July the state Of
Iowa led all others in the condition
Of corn, and in most other crops she
stood we'll up in the list, according
to monthly report issued by au-
thority of the United States secre-
tary of agriculture, and made pub
lie here today.
The condition of Iowa corn in
July was 102 per cent of normal, al
though the acreage was but 80 per
cent of that of last year, or total of
0,197 acres. This condition of 102
per cent was SO per cent of the ten
year average. The estimated yield
of 442,039,000 bushels was 31,761
bushels under the December esti-
mate of 1920.
Iowa stood tenth in condition Of
winter wheat, twenty-third in oats,
tenth in barley, fifth in flax seed,
twelfth in potatoes, eighth in rye,
fifteenth In all hay, fourteenth in
clover, sixteenth in alralfa and fifth
in wool.
Besides the decrease in corn acre
age there was also decrease in the
acreage planted to potatoes, sweet
potatoes, rye and timothy. The po-
tato acreage in 1920 was only slight
ly more than $4,000, the figure for
1921. Only SO per cent of the 1920
acreage was planted to sweet pota-
toes this year. Rye acreage this
year was SO per cent of the 1920 fig
ure. Timothy hay covered SO per
cent of the 1920 acreage.
Tomatoes showed a condition of
80 per cent in July as compared
with IS per cent in July of last year.
Sweet corn showed a condition of
80 per cent as compared with 81 per
cent in 1920.

MATTERS OF GENERAL m
TEREsF FROM ALL OVER
THE STATE.

Adair Has More Oil.

The Adair oil fields, after furnish
ing thrills of kind for time,
brought forth surprises again the
other day, creating sensations anew
when stranger, travelling incognito
and said to be representing "mys-
FERROUS syndicate" arrived and an
nounced that he had come to obtain
any available leases in this terri
tory.
Last spring a syndicate of Walnut
men, through their agent, secured
leases for Oil and gas on approx
mately 10000 acres of land lying
within a radius of five miles Of the
town, preparatory to carrying on an
active drilling campaign.
To make sure, biologists were
consulted and made answer that
there was no reason why oil should
not be found there. A company
was organized, articles of incorpora-
tion were filed and approved, and
stock subscribed, but unavoidable
delay has been occasioned by unus-
ual precautions being taken to as
sure the success of the first well, to
be located one-half mile north Of
the town.
The leasing of the land at that
time caused bit of furry in other
wild cat" fields, as well as in prov
en- territory. Even the Standard Oil
company slipped in and secured
few leases, and is now waiting ana
hoping, like many others, for future
developments.

there was no response. Shortly aft
erward another call from the same
source reached the telephone office
but although 1t was promptly an
swered there was no response from
the source of the call, and it is pre-
sumed the rings were given by Mrs.
King, but that she was unable to
make known her need of help.
She was found by her step-daugh-
ter, Mrs. Dan Strain, of Nodaway,
who went to Mrs. Kings home and
finding the doors locked, looked in
through the window and saw Mrs.
King sitting in her chair. The de-
ceased was living alone.

being room in the family garage he
had parked his car in the driveway.
About o'clock in the morning he
says he heard sounds outside, and
going to the window saw two men
about to start his car.
He asked them what they were
doing and they told him to go to the
hottest known climate, and proceed
ed to work faster to overcome a pat
emit locking device on the car wheel.
One second after the brief ex-
change OF words, the neighborhood
rang with a half dozen rapid shots
from an automatic revolver which
Montgomery had in his hand. and
one thief at least wished he had
spoked more politely to the man
whose car he was trying to steal.

Farmer Lost Many Sheen.

Mystery surrounds the disappear
ance of fifty head of sheep from the
pasture of James Watson, a farmer
living midway between AdaIr ana
Fontanelle.-
Mr.. Watson has been away thresh-
ing for the past few weeks, return
ing home only at dusk. While Choir
ing around he casually cast his eyes
in the direction of the pasture each
evening. Apparently his flock Of
230 sheep was intact.
Monday he finished threshing. A
neighbor called relative to purchas-
ing sheep of certain age. Watson
began his sorting and found this par
ticular size short-so short, in fact,
that he made a count of the entire
number, which result showed fifty
head missing.
He is at a loss to know what be-
came of the sheep, as careful can
vass of the neighborhood failed to
reveal any strayed animals. He has
enlisted the aid of the authorities in
the search for the missing ones.
