His Skull Broken

an unknown negro on Fourth street at
Des Moines in front of one Of the
prominent hotels and will probably
die. He was standing against an iron
railing when the negro approached
and raising a club, with a large screw
projecting an inch and a half, sank it
into his skull. The negro then turned
and escaped down al alley. Holland
fell to the walk and blood poured from
the wound. DR.. Rood happened to be
passing at the time and partly stopped
the flow. Holland was taken home in
9 carriage before the patrol arrived.
The blow was struck within ten feet of

For Forgery and Conspiracy.


W. F. Nine, real estate dealer, and
j. F. Keefer. retail grocer, were ar
rested at Des Moines for forgery and
conspiracy. Some time ago eighty
acres of land was transferred by G. A.
Sanderson to B. Apple, trustee, for
5000. Nine and Keefer knew of the
deal, and q few days after had forged
papers placed on record, transferring
it again from Apple toSwan +. Nelson,
and from Nelson to A. r. Sandburg.
The transfer was discovered by the
bank people, and Apple said he had
never signed any papers. After 2 long
investigation it was found that Nelson
and Sandburg we're laborers, who had
been used in the swindle. It was the
intention to transfer it again to q
"straw man. and from him to some
purchaser. Nine as notary public had
acknowledged the deeds, and from this
the first clue was had. The two were
placed under $1,000 bonds each. They
are said to have been in like attempts
to steal property before.

They VIII Get There.

The cosby correspondent of the Min
neapolis Times IN Washington has this
to saw about the new members OF the
Minnesota legislature in the House of
representatives:
The arrival of the congressmen-elect
from Minnesota is awaited with con-
siderable interest in Washington. There
is great deal of anxiety for even those
outside of Minnesota to have Joel P.
Heatwole, the handsomest man in the
delegation during the 54th session Of con-
gress, appear on the scene. Those who
know the Mortified editor can, in the
advance of his arrival. picture how he
will majestically tread through the halls
of the pig capital building and look
with disdain upon men OF smaller sta
ture less handsome and less of a states
man then he.
The new congressman from the Zenith
City will probably be be both seen and
heard, for Els looked upon as a man by
no means apt to keep his tongue still.
Frank M. Eddy is considered much
more modest than any of his associ-
ates. who will, for the first time. occupy
seats in the halls of congress from Min
ueSOta.
