in Motor Death
Maintain Victor Pearson Was
Murdered; Doctor and
Farmer Support Theory
of Foul Play.
The hundreds of Saunders county

Saturday of Victor Pearson, youthful
farmer of Mead, refused almost to a
man to accept, the verdict of a Doug
las county coroner's jury that Pear

- Inane the tragedy occurred, who was
'* among the first to give evidence

* bad resulted In his discovering foot
prints of a man which led from the
1 mud bank where Pearson's ear was

son before he met death. He ex
pressed the opinion that the man who
made the footmarks across the field
shot Pearson and then set fire to his
car In an attempt to hide the crime.

Pottawattamie
Insanity Cases
Show Increase
Authorities Claim Derange
ments Due to Fast Living
ami Living Conditions;
Occur in Cycles.
A marked Increase In the number
of cases handled by the Pottawat
tamie county Insanity commission
since January 1 has led authorities
to believe that a temporary Insanity
wave Is sweeping this section.
Since the first of the year a total
of 21 cases have been brought before
the commissioners. Seventeen of
them were Insanity cases, two ineb
riary cases, one drug addijt and one
epilepsy case.
The number of Insanity cases for
the first three months of the year Is
nearly double the number disposed of
during the last three months of 1524,
when only nine cases were entered on
the records.
Physicians and hospital authorities
report that the number of private
cases at the St. Bernard hospital.
Council Bluffs, has been Increasing
during the last few months.
Dr. W. E. Ash, under whose obser
vation many of the cases have come,
said Saturday that much of the men
tal derangement might be traced to
adverse living conditions and a trend
to faster living. He also stated that
he has noticed that the cases seem
to spring up In cycles, being greater
in one period of time than others.
Of the 21 cases submitted to the
county board, nine have been rom
mltted to the state hospital at Clar
inda; five to the St. Bernard hospital;
three to the Independence state host
idt.il, and four dismissed.

Margaret left a street car at Twen

she thought bandits would not be

That thought was fhterrupted by
the sharp command of a man to “put

that because they were freighted
with a roast beef and other things

Old Man Coyote thought the same
hlng. It made Old Man Coyote ner

home,” said Old Man Coyote, talking
to himself. You see Old Man Coyote
didn't know that Farmer Broxvn's
Boy already knew where he lived.
But when Old Man Coyote saw Farm
er Brown's Boy pass right close to

lie grinned. He was sure then that
Farmer Brown's Boy wasn't interest
ed in him. But his curiosity was just
ns great as ever. He followed Farmer

that if he sat perfectly still Farmer

he saw by the look in Farmer

Then Farmer Brown's Boy left and
Old Jed Thumper sat and wabbled

"If I didn't know that Farmer

I would say that he xxas looking for

sir, that is just what I would say.
But he never touches tile eggs of
