Farmers Are Busy.
The farmers of this section have
been rapidly husking their corn dur
ing the recent spell of wet weather.
Corn in this section produced fair to
good yields on the whole, while Geo.

duction of eighty-five and eighty-sev-
en- bushels per acre respectively. They
planted certified seed of the Silver
King variety. This corn seems to be
highly satisfactory for this section of

large yield Of shelled corn, Silver
King produced d great deal more fod-

this section.

DUBUQUE MAN
HELD HERE FOR
DEATH
Friday Fight Ends
In Homicide

John Jenni, aged As, Dubuque is in
the county Jail here to await hearing
in connection with the death Of Owen
Feeny, co. who died as the result OF
fracas at the Feeny cottage late Fri
day afternoon.
A coroner's inquest held Friday eve
determined that Feeny met death as
the result of a blow delivered by an
unknown assailant. An autopsy in
dictated that Feeny had been struck
three times. One blow at the top OF
his head caused a hemorrhage at the
base of the brain.
Jenni refuses to talk. He is an ex-
railroad shop worker for the Milwau-
attache of the various roadhouses in
''the loop" as the winding road over
the Grant county hills east of Du-
buque, is known by pleasure seekers.
Jenni was arrested at Dubuque and
held for the arrival Of Sheriff Holmes
who went down Saturday for the man.
A warrant was issued by Dist. Atty.
Clementson, through r. M. Orchard,
court commissioner, charges Jenn1
with the murder. Feeny's funeral
was held Monday.
Stories that the men had quarreled
before and that Feeny caught Jenni
breaking into his cottage and was
killed by a blow from Jenni's fist in
the fight that followed, are mere hear
say and have not been substantiated.
The true facts in the case will doubt
less develop as the trial progresses.

PET COLLIE DOG SAVES
LIFE OF BEETOWN WOMAN

A collie dog, with the quick wit and
herOism known to the breed, probably
saved the life of Mrs. Spiegelberg,
Beetown, residing at Five Points on
the Cassville road, Wednesday even
ing.
Mrs Spiegelberg, residing with her
sons, Otto and John, went out about
$50 to bring in the COWS for milking.
Otto had requested his mother not to
do this saying that one COW which re-
Gently had a calf was dangerous.
Mrs SpieSelberg had often brought
the cows in and disregarded her sons
repeated warning.
Otto and the collie dog were in the
feed lot when they heard Mrs.
Spiegelberg cry out. Otto ran fast
but the dog ran faster, reaching the
COW and engaging its attention while
the bruised woman was able to get
out of harms way The son came
and drove the enraged COW away with
a pitchfork
Mrs. Spiegelberg was knocked
down several times, rolled under a
fence and severely bruised although
no bones were broken. She is making
a prompt recovery.

SHERIFF AND
FEDERAL men
RAID DISTILLS
Burning of Shack
and War Dance

Sheriff Dick Holmes, plotting o
squad Of federal and state enforce
ment officers, made several raids upon
stills in this county last week, throw
ing the fear of the government into
the hearts of moOnshining crews who
were caught redhanded in their
Illicit occupation.
The first raid was made Friday
morning at Mt. Ida. The farm of
Leo Roseman was invaded by the
sheriff State Prohibition Agent b. C.
Parkinson, and federal officers, Fred
Schultz and Dave Quick. A copper
still and ten gallons of apricot and
berry mash were found in the house
In the cornfield the sheriff's unerring
scent took him to two barrels of
mash.
The next raid was made at the
White City on the Illinois line. Friday
night the booze squadron went south
landing at the saloon of Mike Kurt.
Three jugs of moonshine were found
in woodpile. The sheriff then led
the party down the hollow and in a
basin was found shack. In the
shack was a gasoline range with jugs.
bottles, pans, ETC., and 400 gallons of
mash. Up the bluff the sheriff went,
locating two stills hidden among the
trees.
The raiding party took what they
needed for evidence and then piled
the balance in the shack. Kerosene
was poured on the building and as
the flames consumed the outfit the
party danced q war dance around the
burning building. Mr.. Kurt professed
no interest in the raid or. burning
party.
Saturday the squad searched
Stumpf Island, above Kimball Park,
going through the many squalid
shacks in that vicinity. Nothing of
Importance was found except a smell.
Buried mash makes an odor to high
heaven.
Arrests from these raids will fol-
low later.
