The publishers of the Homentmd, the
weekly twenty-four page agricultural
paper of Des Moines, Iowa, edited by a
practical farmer, inform us that they
will send their paper from now until the
first of next January, free of charge, to
every farmer in this county not already
a subscriber, who will send his name
and address, plainly written on a postal
crd, to the Homestead Co., Des Moines,
Iowa. The copies will be absolutely
free, and will be sent to any farmer to
enable him to judge for himself of the
merits of the Homestead as a jmpcr de
voted to his special interests. On the
first of January the paper will be dis
continued unless subscribed for in due
form.
About 11 o'clock last Friday night
the farm house of C. R. Wadsworth,
about two miles, southwest of town,
caught fire and burned to the ground, to
gether with nearly all its content. Mr.
Wadsworth was at Crawford ot the time,
Mrs. Wadsworth and an aunt being the
only occupant of the house. They went
jnto tlie kitchen, putting the lamp on the
table, and a moment latter tlie lamp ex
ploded, setting the room on fire. In the
excitement water was thrown on the
fire which scattered it and mide matters
worse. Nothing coujd save the building
Pickled pigs' feet at Turner's.
C. 1L Weller has purchased tlie
buiLUng which stood just south of H. H.
Jones' residence, and liad moved to a
new location. ,
On last Monday night someone broke
into the warehouse lack of C. II. Welter's
w hich is used by O. II. Turner as a
store room for flour and feed. The sta
ple through which tlie lock passed was
pryed off and a staple which held a short
chain to which the ouk was attached
was also drawn. As near as Mr. Turner
can tell from tlie appearance of things,
about eight sacks oi flour wre stolen.
This is the second building tliat lias been
broken into in this place recently, and it
is about time a halt was culled on such
work. If such things are going to le
conie frequent, some plan ought to be
adopted to nmke tlie practice unpopular.
Dan Klein said he was going to
loave Sioux county noon after election,
and we are informed that he is gone, but
it is safe to say that he did not intend to
depart under the circumstances under
which he left. We understand that he
was Dearly ready to go, wjth his family,
to West Virginia, when suddenly a
United States marshal came und took
him to Omaha to answer to the cliarge
of illegal cutting of timber. A number
from that locality were taken along as
witnesses. White River ought to be a
peaceful locality now that Slay and the
"Sage of White River" have taken their
departure.
The evidence given before the coro
ner's jury in the (use of the killing of
Tate, appears to ba quite different from
the first reports, and the jury held that
the shooting was done feloniously. On
last Thursday Sheriff Iteidy took Coker
to Kushville for safe keeping, being un
ron for lack of room in the jail. The
preliminary hearing will lie given Coker
to-day, and as the law provides for the
holding of persons on the verdict of a
coroner's jury, it is almost certain that
the man will be held to appear at the
next term of the district court. Sheriff
Reiday went to Rushville last evening to
bring the prisoner to court,
County Attorney Hull continued to
try the cose of the state vs. Coker in the
last issue of the Hertdd, charging Judge
Barker, Sheriff Reidy and Deputy Sheriff
Itecker with
unbecoming to officers, and states that
Attorney Holmes ought to be disbarred,
but lie says no word in explanation of
his own peculiar actions in the case. If
the officials are guilty of the acts
cliarged by Mr. Hull why does he not
bring action against them, and if Mr.
Holmes deserves to lie disliarred for de
fending his client, why does not the (ar
ty so claiming institute proceedings
against him? The court is a much better
place to try cases of that kind thsn
a newspaper.
We understand that the B. & M. has
secured some land on their line near the
north line of Sioux county and will lay
it off in lots and blocks and proceed fo
build up a town. That is a good thins
for the county. The more towns in thj
county the better and if the B. & M. lay
out a town in Sioux county they will
get to work and boom it and that will
help to boom the entire county, and will
also help to increase the wealth of the
con nty . Then , too, the Pacific Short Line
will in all probability have its line con
structed across the south part of the
county before the close of another year,
and with the Elk horn line and the B. &
M. will make over a hundred miles of
railroad track in the county, which has
not coat the county one dollar.
The people of Sioux county may lie
ptetty hard up financially, but it is safe
to say that there are few, if any, in the
county who are unable to secure the
necessaries of life. In tins they are
more fortunate than a great many peo
ple in the southwestern portion of the
state. Investigations in that locality
have disclosed the fact that the people
in that locality are actually suffering,
and on last Saturday evening a meeting
was held in the city of Lincoln at which
Gov. Thayer presided, the object of
which was to devise wnys and
means by which to p.ovtde for
the unfortunate one the locality
iiiviiliin, II U ul .vuys the case In a new
country that some families are obliged
to suffer some, but we do not believe
that any assistance will have to be asked
for from outside the county. A good
many men have gone from this county to
work, and left their families on the farm
and it may be that some of the families
will run out of supplies at times when
the husbands do not send them funds
regulurly. It would be a good plan for
am) an attempt was made to save some ; the neighbors of such families to keep a
pf the contents but the building oeing nine waven oi mem ami see uiai uiey
varv drv burned' no raDidlv that it was are not permitted to suffer. No deserv
tmnoaaabU to accomplish much in that
floe. Dm organ and a trunk were drag
' md out but were badly scorched, and
everything else was destroyed. Both
the bouse and content were insured, but
(ttt amount U not stated. The 16m will
ing person was ever known to starve in
new country unless all those in the com
munity were destitute. There are many
honest, hard working people in Sioux
county striving to make a home here
and the community at large cannot af
ford to let any suffer.
