SHOOTS ATHIS
mm
James Williams Takes a Shot at
Thomas Sherwood, Bullet
Lodging in Ankle.
What might have been a very ser
ious shooting affray took place this
morning when James C. Williams, a
well known citizen, shot Thomas
Sherwood through the left ankle.
The shooting took place about 10:30
o'clock at hte home of Mr. Williams,
In the Third ward, and was the out
growth of family troubles of the
Sherwood's, he having married a
daughter of Mr. Williams'. The cou
ple had separated some time ago and
suit for divorce had been at one time
commenced by Mrs. Sherwood. This
had afterwards been dismissed.
The couple have been separated
and Mrs. Sherwood was living at the
home of her parents. Sherwood last
evening went up to the Williams
home, which is on Pearl street, be
tween Eighth and Ninth, and wanted
his wife to come out and meet him.
This she would not do, the front door
being locked. This door, which faces
the street on the north, had a glass
upper sash In It , and this Sherwood
proceeded to break after the refusal
of his wife to meet him. The Wil
liams family Immediately alarmed the
police and Chief Amlck was notified,
hurrying to the place, but Sherwood
had fied. Chief Amlck left word with
the night police to take Sherwood
into custody as soon as possible, but
they did nut do so, and this morning
he ran across him on the street and
informed him that he expected later
to place him under arrest If a com
plaint should be filed.
Sherwood asked Amlck to go with
him to the Williams home, as he
wanted to talk to his wife a few mo
ments, and this the chief consented
to do after obtaining Sherwood's sol
emn promise to behave himself. They
went up to the house and Chief Amlck
states that Sherwood did behave as
he promised and made no threats or
vicious statements of any kind. After
talking w'ith Mrs. Sherwood for sev
eral minutes they started to leave
when Sherwood turned back and
stated he was goln to tell his wife
where the baby buggy was. At this
time Williams drove up on the dellv
ery wagon of Zuckweiler & Lutz
which he drives, and when Sherwood
turned back, Williams ran around the
house toward tahe rear door. Amlck
saw him and surmised that he intead
ed to do violence of some nature to
Sherwood, running after him, but be"
Ing too late to prevent him seizing
a twelve-gage shotgun, which stood
Inside the basement door. Williams
fired once at Sherwood, but his aim
was poor, and the shot merely en
tered the man's ankle, inflicting pain
ful, bi',i not dangerous Injprles,
Amlck then succeeded In placing Wil
liams under arrest, and brought him
down town, where he later was re
leaded on his own recognizance. Wll
Hams was much excited, and accord
ing to the chief, did not seem to
realize what he had done. He hum
med and sang all the way from the
house to the station, a distance of
several blocks and apparently did not
have any conception, of the danger
ous act he had been guilty of.
The Injured man was removed
from the Williams home to a sur
geon's office, where the shot which
had entered the ankle were removed
and he was made as comfortable as
possible. It is not thought any dan
gerous complications will ensue and
the belief is expressed that Sherwood
will be able to be about before
great while.
No Complaints Filed.
There was no complaint filed to
day In the Williams case and It Is
not announced that any further ac
tion will be taken. The matter is
still under consideration by County
Attorney Ramsey and he Is making a
most careful and searching investi
gation Into the facts. It Is under
stood that Thomas Sherwood who
was Injured by the gunshot of J. C.
Williams Is opposed to prosecuting
him and the entire matter may be
said to be In abeyance pending a
final decision on the matter. Williams
Is still at large and the officers have
no fears of his leaving even should
a complaint finally be filed.
It :.n-. so difficult to strengthen
a weak Stomach if one goes at It cor
rectly. And this is true of the Heart
and Kidneys. The old fashioned way
of dosing the Stomach or stimulating
the Heart or Kidneys is surely wrong.
Dr. Shoop first pointed out this error.
"Go to the weak or ailing nerves of
these organs," Bald he. Each Inside
organ has Its controlling or "Inside
nerve." When these nerves fall then
those organs must surely falter. This
vital truth Is leading druggists every
whero to dispense and recommend Dr.
Shoop's Restorative. A few days' test
will surely tell! Sold by all dealers.

THE THIRTEENTH
The Farmers Should be as Much
Interested in This Enumera
tion as Others.
The thirteenth general census of
the United States will bo taken next
year, beginning April 15. About
65,000 enumerators will then engage
in the task of counting every man,
woman and child in the country, and
of ascertaining for each Individual
the color, sex, conjugal, relation,
place of birth, place of birth of par
ents, number of years in the United
States, citizenship, occupation, etc.
More than 7,000,000 farmers are
conducting operations on aeperate
farms at the present time. Their
products are marketed at all seasons
of the year, under all sorts of local
conditions, and at a widely varying
range of prices. New lands, new
crops, new methods and new pro
cesses are constantly affecting the
net result to an unknown extent.
Therefore, while the department of
agriculture keeps In close touch with
every phase of farm life, ho vast Is
the Industry and bo Intangible are
many of the elements and conditions
affecting farm operations that the
crop and other estimates of the de
partment would become practically
valueless If not regularly revised In
the light of the census returns.
The farm census 1h taken primar
ily for the benefit of the farmer, but
it is of Interest to all classes, and
especially Just now. To what extent
the very marked Increase during re
cent years in the cost of living, and
especially in the cost of certain kinds
of farm products, is due to shortage
In production is a question of vital
moment.
A complete and accurate census
of farm areas, products and values
will furnish data which, In connection
with the revised population figures,
should throw much light on the great
question of our national food supply.
It lies with the farmer to provide
this Information, and the census de
partment Is making a special appeal
to him to get ready for the enumera
tors. By preparing an accurate ac
count of his farm operations during
the year ending December 31, 1909,
and by making an Inventory on April
15, 1910, of all his farm possessions,
the farmer can render the country a
great service.
The schedule which the farmer
will be asked to fill may. be divided
Into five parts, as follows.
1. Personal information regarding
the farmer.
2. General Information regarding
farm acreage, values and expenses.
3. A statement of the acreuge,
yield and value of all farm crops
harvested In 1909, and of all animal
products that Is, dairy products,
eggs, live stock, etc.
4. An Inventory of all live stock,
Including poultry and bees, on hand

With the pratlcal co-operation of
the farmers of the county in prepar

their products and preperty the ccn

interesting statistics of agriculture

Dr. J. M. Donclmi Assaulted.
Dr. J. M. Donelan, the well known
Glenwood, la., physician, last Mon
day afternoon was the victim of a
vicious assault at the hands of Jamea
A. Briley, a farmer living two miles
southwest of Glenwood. Mr. Done
lan was taken by surprise by Briley
while talking with a friend and was
knocked unconscious, being struck
In the face and knocked down after
which he was kicked several times in.
the head.
The cause of the trouble Is stated
by Dr. Donelan to be unknown to
him but the understanding In the
community there, is that the trouble
grew out of the quarantining of
Briley's family for dlptherla, Dr.
Donelan being the physician who
ordered the quarantine. Dr. Done
lan recovered consciousness shortly
after medical attention had been
given him and no Bcrloua damage
was done him. Briley was placed
under arrest, charged with assault
with Intent to do great bodily Injury,
and waived preliminary examination,
being held to trial in the district
court In $500 bonds which he gave.
Dr. Donelan is well known In this
city, being one of the old residents
of Glenwood. He has many friends
who are glad to note that the assault
did not result more seriously and
who trust his assailant will be pun
ished. The serious feature of the
case is the definance of the law gov
erning quarantine as Dr. Donelan
acted under the State Board of
Health's authority, who had made
ulturo tests of the Briley children
and found the disease to exist In the
family.

One of the most Interesting sights
about the city these days Is to see
the pile driver crew and the work
men engaged on the new Burlington
sewer at work hauling out the heavy
Iron rings which composed tho
strengthening portion of the old
sewer. This work is being done un
der the main line tracks south of the.
depot. The old sewer was composed
of very heavy and massive Iron rings
which were set Into the ground and
which, from lapse of time and tae
soggy condition of the ground around
them, had become firmly Imbedded
In the earth. The pile driver is
backed up on the track below the
rings and converted Into a derrick.
Heavy steel cables are attached to
the rings and they are torn from
their miry bed and deposited on a
flat car standing over the excavation.
Occasionally the cables cannot move
the rings and In' such a case, It l
ecessary for the workmen to take
heavy Jacks and place thorn under
the crown of the ring supported by
massive timber blocked and In that,
manner gradually work the ring
loose from the mud and mire. One
was raised this way this morning. It
taking some half an hour or more
to get the ring out and on the flat
car and rendering the work verr
tedious and slow. From the present
rate of progress, It will be' several
months before the work will be any
where near completed and the gang
engaged In It will likely be stationed
here for five or six months.
Herman Klletsch, the Weeping
Water miller, came over last night
