in her restless tossing about, knocked
or kicked the lamp over, which ex-
ploded. The bedding caught fire and

! about three miles east of Cedar Rapids
on the Mt. Vernon road He repre-
scented TO her that he and three other
men were engaged in repairing the
telephone line and on that day were
working near Indian Creek, and that il
was too far to return to the city for
dinner and wanted Mrs. Oaks to furn-
lsh dinner for four men, for which he
would repay her amply when he re-
| turned in the evening with ms horse
and buggy. Mrs. Oaks, not suspectiug
| that she was to be victmized, filled a
market basket with TODD. preserves,
etc, and added knives, forks aud drin k
ing cups and handed it to her pensioner
| which he took and started east on the
Mt. Vernon road. This was the last
seen or heard of this shrewd scamp
and Mrs. Oaks is minus her basket,
cutlery and dishes.
