IOWA LEADS IN
JUDGING HORSES
HAWKETES DO REMARKABLE
WORK AT CHICAGO STOCK
SHOW.
Chicago, Dec. 4.—The d'tails of the
markings made by the judges in the
recent stock show held at Chicago in
dicate above all that Iowa students
oi the state agricultural college are
far ahead of all others on this contin
ent in all arounnd ab..-*y to judge cat
tie, horses, sheep and swine.
In all around excellence the recor
made by the Iowa boys who made the
trip to Chicago is not approached by
that made by any other team. Th.*
students from the Ontario agriculture!
college, whose ancestors have given
to them the instinctive abil'ty to
juudge, and who have Unproved their
Instincts by life on the farm and
study in college, were bested by the
boys from Iowa.
In the judging of horses the Iowa
students completely outstripped all
competitors. Nearly a hundred and
fifty points separates Iowa from its
nearest competitor, the Ohio team. In
the ranking of cattle, the Iowans still
forged to the front. They were close
ly pressed by the Ontario students,
who came, to the show primed for this
event. Iowa was seven points ahead
In the total, only the exceptional wor:c
of Wentworth of the Ames team keep
ing Iowa in front.
Fall Twice.
As might be expected Iowa fell
down in the judging of sheep. Iowa
does not raise the sheep that some of
,the neighboring states do. and the em
phasis is not placed there. But Iowa
did poorly in a place wnere it would
naturally be thought that Iowa would
be on top. Iowa ranked a poor third

in the judging of swine. Iowa is the I
great hog raising state, and the ill

natural.
To the Missouri college must go the
credit of having the highest individual
performer. Cochran of that school
scored first, with O'Donnell of Iowa
second. Wentworth of the Iowa team
was not In the horse judging contest
or he would have been in the lead
with a fair margin If he had been able
to do well in the horse ring. Iowa had

of horses.
Wentworth tool? first place in the
judging of cattle, hogs and sheep. He
ranked first in the judging of cattle
alone.
Profecsors Good.
Not only did the students of Iowa
college conquer but when it is known
that five of the eight professors coach
ing
the
team* are graduates of the
Ames Institution, the still more re
markable nature of the work of th",t
agricultural college on the part of the
professors is made evident.

COURTNEY WILL
N0.2 IS FOUND
MAT MEAN RETRIAL OF CONTEST
CASE IN WHICH SON
WON.
Judging from present indications
the Alonzo L. Courtney will case
against Alice L. Courtney will have to
be retired again at the present or Jan
uary term of the district court. It now
develops that a second will of the late
Hlizabeth A. Courtney aas been dis
covered and that the case will again
be heard on that point.
While the sums involved are not
large, about $3,000, the will case has
been one of the hardest contested
suits tried in the Wapello county court
in several years. At the last trial
Alonzo Courtney suceeded in breaking
ais mother's will which had given
nearly the entire estate to Alice Court
ney. At that time it was alleged that
the defendant used coercion in secur
ing a will favorable to her. This was
proved to be true to the satisfaction
of the jury and the will was ordered
set aside, which had the effect of giv
ing to Alonzo Courtney, the only son,
the entire estate of his mother.
The provisions of the second will
which, it appears, turned up just after
the first will case had been tried, is
not publicly known and will not be
until the next trial of the case on the
merits of the new will.
