ROWLES & PARKER.

Rumors of jealousies resulting from the alleged attentions of a prominent fanner north of town to another's wife have been afloat in Rensselaer for several days and it is stated that a hair pulling affair that would have made a splendid picture film resulted. The case did not get into the courts and'the rumors are so numerous and so diversified that The Republican has been unable to learn whether there was any truth in them at aIL It is hoped that there was not and that no other acts will be committed in Jasper county to add to the stigma that attaches from some of the more flagrant moral wrongs that have occurred during the past few months.
