looking revolver in the hands of a
masked man. The robber secured

darkness. The police have not yet To-

The story that young Wallick tells

ADAMS BROUGHT HERE.
CoIored man who shot Hubbarss Nov
Denies. Having. Ever Seem Him.

John Adams, the colored man who
10 charged with shooting Eliza Hub
bartt, on the night of Thursday, July
81, was brought to Ottumwa this af-
ternoon by Sheriff Suits, on the Wa
bash freight which arrives here at $3.50
o'clock, from Lancaster, Mo. He was
Immediately ,placedain the county Jail,
where he will be held to await trial.
He mas been held In the Lancaster Jail
since last Friday morning, where he
was captured by the sheriff Of that
county.
When questioned about the shooting
affair Adams claimed that he had never
seen Hubbartt. He said that he was
in Ottumwa on Thursday, July 81, but
that he left this city about dusk on
Wabash freight in company with two
white men. Adams accounts for the
cut on his left cheek by saying that
the two men with whom he was travelling
robbed him when they were near the
tank at Glenwood Junction. He claims
that the took S17 from him, which he
carried tied up in handkerchief, and
that in his attempt to defend himself
he was cut by one of them. They left
the car at the tank, and when he ar
rived in Glenwood he WIS put off the
train by one of the brakemen. He says
he was arrested the next morning and
taken to Lancaster and has been in
Jail there until this morning, when
Sheriff SHUTS brought him to Ottum-
wa.
Adams is a young man not over 25
years old, and is of medium height.
Hissclothes and speech answer the de-
scription given by Hubbartt. Sheriff
SHUTS went after him this morning,
leaving Ottumwa on the early morning
Wabash, and he was compelled to drive
from Glenwood Junction to Lancaster.
The police believe they have clear
case against Adams, as several Wabash
trainmen are said to have seen both
Adams and Hubbartt together at the
DEPOT before the train left.
Miss Keota Williams, who graduated
last spring from the law department
of the Iowa State university, tried her
first case in the Ottumwa courts today.
Although she lost the case she thor
oughlv demonstrated to the court that
she was thoroughly familiar with the
law in the case. The title of the suit
was that of Root VS.. Williams, and was
to recover possession of note that
had been paid. The attorney for the
plaintiff was F. G. Orelup, and the
case was tried before Squire Campbell.

LACEY In TOWN.
Passed Through Today Enroute to the
Pacific Coast.

From Fridays. Daily.]
Hon. John Il. Lacey, daughter, Miss
Berenice, and son-in-law, j. b. Brewster,
wife and baby, all from Oskaloosa,
passed through the city today. enroute
to Chicago. They will visit relatives
and then go on to the Pacific coast.
}They will be gone about three or four
weeks,
Mr.. Lacey was looking we'll and
said he was enjoying the best of health.
In speaking of the Des Mones conven-
ton, he said: "It was more of con-
ference than a convention. The poll
ticians came there more to talk over
the present situation than for conven-
ton purposes. The only contest was
on the supreme judgeship. A strong
opponent and the locality had a great
deal to do with the defeat of Judge
Robinson. Mr.. Robinson was origin
ally from Storm Lake, but is now Iiv-
ing in Sioux City and is good man.
Both Judges Fee and Sloan, coming
from this locality, divided the strength
of the votes. Sherwin is practically a
new man. Mr.. Lacey would not dis
cuss the senatorial question, but said
that the indications were that Mr.. Gear
would be his own successor.
In answer to the query, Mr.. Lacey
said that the outlook for Iowa in the
coming fall election was good, and
that no one in the state was anxious
for change. If the opposition party
would win the best thing the could dc
would be to maintain the present condi.
tons. He anticipates taking very ac.
tive part in the coming elections, on
his return home from the Pacific coast
although he is of the opinion that the
campaign will not open until late in
the season,

Orlando Stevens, the winner in
points for general winnings OF the
season, is also the leader in the cham
pionship race. Stevens topped Cooper
during the past week through his win
at Asbury Park. Cooper''s saddle turn

he was unable to force it back into
position in time to be in at the death.
While he admits defeat hc says that he
would certainly have secured better

the table. position which he hopes to
obtain once more and then hold
throughout the year. There is slight
doubt now that with good luck for
both men, the championship of 90 will
go to one or the other of these riders.
| The race will be, very close. Both are
going to. France next season and both

champion. Kiser is also one that is
anxious rs are a number of others.
Eddie Bald is seemingly not as an-
Nious now ms he was at one time for

competition. Nine men have won
points in the championship table.
Twelve men hive qualified for cham
