OPERATION PERFORMED ON HIM According to ttatemeats of E) WM arsaes anil Both Parties o Affray I.ankton aad Ilia t'ompanloa Were the Aggressor. James Lankton, the man knocked down in a fight with John Shefler at th cor ner of Broadway and North Main street, about 1 o'clock Sunday morning, und ten dered unconscious by striking hi head against th curb, is lying at the Edmund on Memorial hospital In a prerarlou condition, with but ailght chance for hi recovery. Lankton suffered a frac ture at the base of the skull and the forming of ' a blood clot on the brain caused paralysis of the right tide. An operation to remove the pressure on tha brain wa performod by Dr. Macrae, Jr., and City Physician Rice yesterday after noon. , Bhefler, who croased the river on th "bwl" ,car to Omaha, where he was taken Into custody by the police of that city at the request of the local authorities, was brought back lo Council IiiuiTj t once. He was released on a cash bond, but later In the day, when the serious character of Lankton's Injuries 'became known) was rearrested and lodged in the city jail, the authorities deciding not to accept ball until It Is known whether Lankton will recover or not. According to Shelter's version of tha fracas, which is corroborated by Patrol man Arnold and '. other eye wltnesHea, Lankton was tha aggressor. Shelter's ! statement I to th effect that he was ! going from th Manhattan to the Hoff man restaurant to get a lunch, wnn Lankton and the latter' companion, Walter Delahoyd, accused him of follow ing them. This Sheller denied and some words passed, when Lankton struck ot Shefler, knocking his hat oft. Delahoyd, Shefler says, also struck at him, and In defense he rtruck Lankton, knocking him down. In falling Lankton struck the curb with hi head and wa rendered un conscious. ' i Patrolman Arnold, who was on III way home from spending th evening " at Lake Manawa, . seeing a fight between Shefler and the two men appeared immi nent. Jumped from, the Fairmount park car he was on and reached the corner Just as Delahoyd made a puss at Shefler. Arnold took hold of Delahoyd, but before he could. Interfere further Shefler had struck 'and knocked Lankton dow.i. Delahoyd was taken to police headquar ters and locked up on a charge of dis turbing the peace. , lie wa later released on a $26 cash bond. Shefler, in his statement to Chief Rich mond, said he had never to his knowl edge seen Lankton before Lankton turned round and accused htm of following him and hi friend. When it wa learned yesterday morn ing that Lankton had rallied somewhat, Detective CallaghaVfea aent to the hos pital to get a statement if possible, from, the Injured man. in the presence of Dr. Mat Tinley, Lankton in brief Interval of consciousness, Yn reply to Callaghan's questions, said he . had : struck Shefler first and that he waa to blame for tha trouble. "But for my own foolishness it would not hav happened," said Lank ton aa he relapsed .Into upconsolousnesa and nothing further could be learned from hint. . Lankton I S8 year of age and, with hi wife and two children, one a baby but 8 week old, resided at tl7 South Tenth, street. paTent live at Kid ney, la. He came here In March, tnca when he had been working for Goorgo W. Klein, an upholsterer. Lankton ia a man of powerful physique, and to sev eral of hi acquaintances claimed to be a cousin of James J.

BRINGS PURCHASES WITH HIM Legislature Halt Appropriation that Will Assist Brooders of "Mate Qaestloa for Sapreme Conrt. (From a Staff Correspondent.) PES MOINES, Aug. lJ.-Sprcial.)-The distinctly "Iowa breed" of horse will be gray. The legislature last winter made a spe cial appropriation of 8T.600 to be used with a like um given by th government, which give a total of 816,000 altogether for a period of two years, and additional ap propriations will be mad later. Prof. W. J. Kennedy of the State Agri cultural college returned a day or two ago from Europe, wher h bought the best horse that Europe possesses, and by far (h beat hone that were ever Imported to America. They are all gray, and It I th announced determination of Prof. Ken nedy and Prof. Curtla that the new breed Is to be gray for th reason that It Is found that gray horses bring 850 to $100 mors than any other color. All th horses brought by Prof. Kennedy from Europe are young and are better than anything heretofore Imported. Fur thermore, they are along the lines on which It I proposed to develop a distinctly Amer ican breed of horse. Colorado I develop ing a distinctly American breed of car riage horse. Iowa will develop a distinctly American and distinctly Iowa breed of draft horse. Prof. Kennedy purchased a S-year-old Bhlre stallion and three Shire mare, and a Clydesdale stallion and thre Clydesdale mares In Europe and In this country from Charles Irvln of Ankeny he purchased four Percherons. It wa th Intention to exhibit th purchases at the state fair this year, but because of the fact that they have just arrived and ar not In shape for exhibition purposes they may not be shown. They will be shown at the Inter national show at Chicago. The new American, breed Will "not be called Clyde, Shire, Percheron. Belgian, nor any of the standard names, for It will be different from any of them. It Is proposed to breed a horse thai Is typical In every way for the purposes to which It Is needed on the Iowa farms. The Shire stallion purchased In England was purchased from Lord Monan, and the Bhlre mare from James Gould of Lynn, near Liverpool. The Clyde stallion weighs a ton and ia called Kurokl. It was pur chased in Scotland. Th Clyde mare ar Gray Pearle, Maggla of Brownfleld, pur chased In Scotland, and one purchased In England. Was She Wife or Serrantf The supreme court Is to be given the opportunity to say whether a contract signed . by Ellas Yf. Pegg and Margaret Asher of Harrison county was a strange marriage contract or a contract merely of wages. Margaret Asher claims to be the widow of Ellas W. Pegg, and becaus of that fact claim title t hi home farm in Harrison county and some 800 acres of Canadian land, besides $10,000 or more of personal property and money. His brothers dispute th claim, and convinced th Har rison county district court that the con tract they signed was a contract whereby Ellas W, Pegg agreed to pay Margaret wages. ' Ellas Pegg dleo. Augutt 7, 1908. It seems that some time In July, 1885, the two were arrested for living together, and the contention of hi brothers.! that ah was his housekeeper, and to set thj record and relationship right he entered a contract to pay her wage. She al leged that to set th relationship tight they entered Into a contract of marriage. She produced What she claimed wa a copy of th contract, alleging tTIat hla brothers had mad way with tha origin U. J. C. Crombl signed th contract as a Witness. II now live in Council Bluffs, and at th trial of th case testified that When he aigned hi name he waa told that it wa a marriage contract, though . b didn't read It over himself. He ays It was read to him. A daughter of Mr. Pegg testifies that he wrote th contract, which was very brief and In slmpl term. It read: "LOGAN, Ia., July 11, 1S86. Th un dersigned mak and enter into the fol lowing agreement and contract: Ellis W. Pegg thi day take Margaret Asher to ba bi legal wife and agree to II 7 with her aa such. ' Margaret Asher this day take Ellas W. Pegg to be hir ldgal husband and agree to live with him a such during l)fe. Signed, Ella W. Pegg, Margaret Asher. Witnessed to by J. C. Cromble." Joseph Smith, a Justice at Logan, and Crombl both claim that rTte con tract wa made in the Justlc offlc of Smith. But other evidence waa brought In to combat all this, and tha district court decided for th brothers ot, Pegg. Tha case ha been appealed to th su- Kpreme court and will come on for hear ing Inside th next term or two. Big Importers Thar.

There la no question but It will be th finest exhibit of horses Iowa has i-ver had, and one of the strong features will be the Iowa and American-bred stock. There are scores of exhibitor that hav but one to three animals to show. Many farmers with but one pure-blood mar are exhibiting them this year, which Is th thing that the management of th fair has been for som years endeavoring to encourage.

It Is said to be a fine one. . It is said to be th best that ever lived, according ' to soma Judges, and Whitehall Marshall will bo "going some" to retain the big money. Furthermore, Judges of stock say that the Flynn farm, near, this city, contains . a young Shorthorn bull bred on that farm that will crowd both Whitehall Marshall and Saunders' new animal. It will make the keenest of Interest In the Shorthorn classes this year. Call In Strange Compact.
