q. W. Curtis ON Trial for Robbing
an Old Soldier of Money
and Valuables.

Short work was made in the district
court of the case against Monroe Will
son. we'll known character of the city,
who was under indictment for stealing
a watch belonging to Carl Hass.
The jury was sent out at 6 o'clock,
Wednesday evening, and at s O'clock
had agreed upon verdict. The
court and officials were summoned, the
prisoner was brought in and the find
ings of the jury were reau. The verdict
was guilty as charged in the Indictment,
and the jury declared the value of the
property to be $22.50 which makes the
theft penitentiary offense. No time
was fixed for the passing of sentence,
and it is probable that Judge Caswell
will await the conclusion of the remain
Ing criminal cases. The cases against
Curtis, Howard and Eastman are yet to
be disposed of. The Indictment against
Eva Hunichek, OF Ferguson, will be
dismissed, as the county attorney does
not look upon the evidence as strong
enough to secure conviction, the case
being the outgrowth of neighborhood
row. A big hole was made in the Grim
inal calendar by the pleas of guilty of
six of the parties under Indictment and
the continuance of the Barnes trial.

NeVaOa Taper comments on the
Probable Outcome of the Arrest OF
lancey nnd smith.
In commenting on the evidence point
ing to Charles Yancey and sloppy
Smith. the Nevada prisoners. as the
murderers of Brakemen Wilson and
Matthews, the Nevada Representative
says:
Some words carelessly dropped
caused Sheriff Banks TO suspect the
identity of the gangs at Kelley and
Marshalltown. and attention was also
directed to the man at Newton. Fur
ther investigation and story told by
the Newton man to a fellow criminal
there strengthened the suspicion into u
belief; and on Monday Sheriff McPher
son, of Marshall county, and other Mar
shalltown parties who had seen the sup
posed murderers there on the day of the
murder came up TO look over the pris-
oners here. The result is that the two
men who are here are identified posi-
lively as having been in Marshalltown
on the day of the murder: and the
farmer near Gilman who gave break
fast the next morning to the supposed
murderers was here this morning and

he fed 1t seems. therefore, to be rea-
sonably certain that the men in Jail
here are of the gang whom the Mar
shalltown authorities have been seek
ing as the murderers of the brakemen.
Whether the murder can be proved
upon them is, of course. another thing.
Their previous bad character, their
presence near the place and time of the
murder and their readiness to shoot
when involved in trouble with the train
men at Kelley will go far toward con-
vincing the general public that the right
men are found and Gagged; yet the only
man who witnessed the murder was a
Northwestern track walker too far off
to know anybody, and the evidence to
connect them with the crime must be
either the attendant circumstances or
their own admissions. Just how con-
elusive either or both these proofs may
be Is question difficult to try in the
newspapers. Enough is certain. how
ever, to entitle Sheriff Banks to credit
for most excellent piece of detective
work. He has found the people the
