a CRIMINAL oFFENSE.
Chas. Scherin, Stranger Tries to Sell Livery
Horses but Is Apprehended.

i !
Last Thursday two strangers went to
Kretch & Gieseke's livery barn to hire .
team and drive to one of the camps
near the new railroads several miles
from town, which was given them aud
the same was promptly returned IN the
evening and paid for. Friday afternoon
the same parties went to the livery barn
and got team again giving as their
story that they had worked for the rail-
road company and had not yet received
pay for their work and left word that if
they would not return In the evening
they would return early the next morn
ing. They did not return Saturday morn
ing and Mr.. Kretsch did not give the
matter much attention. About Saturday
noon Mr.. Kretsch received telephone
message from Mr.. James Greer at Made
liza asking about the team as he recog
nized tie horses and that they belonged
to the livery barn of Kretsch & Gieseke.
The party had on Friday evening traded
off the buggy with one of the livery men.
Of Madelia and left town. After leav-
ing town the horses ran away, broke the
buggy and returned to Madelia and were
found on the street by the village mar
shall who took them in charge. Satur-
day morning the party also came to Ma
della and fin ding their horses wanted to
dispose of them, claiming they had a
pair of mules at st. James and as the
buggy was broken they sold the whole
outfit for $40. In the meantime Kretsch
was notified here and one of the party
was arrested and Mr.. Kretsch and sheriff
matter drove over to Madelia and got
their victim and brought him to jall
here The other party escaped and has
not been found since.
The arrested man gave his name as
Charles Scheirm and had hearing be-
fore Justice Henningsen yesterday after
noon. County Attorney Olsen conduct
ed the hearing and examined the wit
nesses and from the evidence given JUS
tice Henningsen bound the party over to
the district court to await the action of
the grand jury.

HELD FOR MURDER.
Diedrich Rodawald, Charged with the Murder
OF Thomas Chute Bound Over to the
Grand Jury.
Little Evidence on Which to Bind Him Over and
his Attorney r1ay try to have Him Re-
leased by Habeas Corpus Pros
ceedings.

Once again does the Jail of Brown
: county shelter one who is accused of
8 having committed murder most foul.
Our readers will remember that Thom-
as Chute, an aged farmer, residing near
Sleepy Eye in the northwest corner of
Hanska township, was killed some weeks
ago, accidently or otherwise. On the
day of his death he was. calling at his
farm, on which Diedrich Rodawald was
renter. Rodawald's story is that he
went into the barn and found the old
!. gentleman dead behind the horses, and
his idea is that the horses kicked hlm to
death. Several gashes and marks were
found on the body of the dead man, but
whether they had been caused by the
kicks Of a horse or from an instrument
in the hands of murderer is disputed
question. 7-.s nd
Last week Rodawald was arrested on
charge of murder and on Monday and
AucSuay VI tulS week lie uau q prol1m1-
nary hearing before justice at Sleepy
= Eye, and as a result OF which he was
bound owe, to await the action of the
grand jury which meets in January.
Those who heard 1t say that the evidence
upon which he was bound over was very
weak and hardly sufficient and it is pos
slble that the attorney for the accused
man may endeavor to get him released
on habeas corpus proceedings. It was
shown on the hearing that Chute and
the accused had had some trouble and
quarrel previous to the day of the sup
=, posed murder and this is about all that
2 was proven as motive for the horrible
p crime, if it is one. Unless the prosecu-
tion has some evidence in the back
ground or develope some before the
trial takes place it is not probable that
Rodawald will ,be convicted.

SMALL ARMS PLANT.
Establishment of the Mandatory
at Arsenal Practically
Assured.
MONEY RECOMMENDED FOR PURPOSE

The Appropriation Bill to Include the SUN
Asked For by Maj. Blunt for Equipment
of the New Plant at the Government Is
Iand-ReceIyIng Consideration at Wash
ington.
Washington. Feb. S.-Provision for
increasing the supply of small arm
to 1000 stands per day will undoubt-
edlv be made in the army appropria-
ton bill The matter was considered
today bv the military committee of the
house At present the armory ship
ping field, even on double appropri-
alton and double time, cannot supply
small arms as fast as the army re-
uuires. The war department, there
fore. recommends an appropriation of
$3.50, 900 for the equipment of a small
arms plant at Rock Island armOry.
The buildings and power are already
there, and with the machinery and
fixtures the demands of the service
can be met. Although final action
has not been taken, there is little doubt
but hat the plan will be approved.
The Good Results.
From the above it will be seen that
the long hoped for establishment of a
small arms plant at Rock Island az
senal is in a fair way to be realized.
The information at hand indicates
that the war department realizes the
possibilities of the Rock Island arsenal
as put forth by Maj. Blunt in his
recommendations, and also that the
tri-city committee at Washington,
+. II. Guyer, W. r. Moore, and j. r.
Lane, is doing good work.
This should be good news for every
Rock Island citizen, for as Maj. Blunt
puts it, Its only a starter toward
greater possibilities in the future"
