Sheriff Stout left last evening for
Oklahoma City to bring back Thorn
as NJ eek, formerly prominent school
teacher in Polk county, and at one
time candidate for County Superin-
tendent of Schools. Meek is wanted
on the charge of rape on two counts.
He was indicted by the grand Jury
last May and Sheriff Stout has been
looking for his man ever since, Meek
leaving the country as soon as the
crime was charged. He taught school
in the lower Agency district, south
east of the fair grounds. Most of his
pupils were little girls about twelve
years of age. Seven Of them testified
before the grand jury against Meek.
This includes most of the girls in his
school. The parents Of the children
became suspicious of Meek, and the
case was laid before the grand jury,
but he got wind of the affair and left.
He has wife and family living at
Polk City. EXtradition papers were
secured from Governor Shaw last
evening, and the Sheriff left on the
$40 Great Western train. The case
is said to be the most aggravated of
its kind that has ever come before the
Polk county grand jury. The parents
of the children were so enraged when
the discovery was made that Meek
would have Jared badly if he could
have been found. Ever since then
they have watched the attempts 10
locate Meek with great eagerness. All
letters sent by Meek to his family
were sent to friends and remailed, so
that it was extremely difficult to
locate Wednesday Des Moines

Grandmother's Hands.

Crippled and bent and marked with toll,
They sew on the buttons and patch UP
the holes.
They take up the toys and put them
away.
They smooth the pillow for Johnnies head
~, They find cure for his every pain;
They cover his kite and mend his sled,
And they tie the string to his railroad
train
They find the sweets that make him glad
They sprinkle with sunshine all of his
cares;
They spank him, too, when Johnnie is
Then dry again his bitter tears.
In years to come, when Johnnie's feet
Tread cherries paths of other lands,
Deep in his manly heart he'll bless
Both spanks and gifts of those dear old
hands. Atlanta Journal,
