There is no doubt but that a sale of

the question. A the present value of
the stock and the amount of bonds that

chance of selling the road to

special dispatch to the T.-R. Sat-
urday gave an account of an assault at
Waterloo on Miss Jessie Still, daughter
of Robert p. Still, of No Court street,
this city. The Waterloo Courier of
Saturday evening gives further details
of the affair. as follows:
George Schmus, a man with fam
ily of two grown up daughters. lies In
the county jail today on the serious
charge OF assault and battery. The
victim Of Schmus Is a girl who has
been working here as domestic under
the name OF Dorothy Gale, but whose
real name is Jessie Still, and whose
parents live at Marshalltown.
1.-THE trouble which resulted In the
girl lying in hysterical condition all
night and today occurred last evening
about $50 o'clock on Park avenue, near
the corner of Sycamore street. Mrs.
Strunk, who lives In the house at the
corner named, heard some loud talking
in q girls voice and a moment thereaf-
ter heard loud scream. Mrs. Strunk
rushed out of doors and saw a man and
woman struggling on the walk. She
heard the girl scream: Don't strike me
again, George and then saw her fall
peared in the darkness.
Mrs. Strunk called for help and the
girl was carried into her house in an
unconscious condition and physician
summoned. The doctor found that the
injured girl was in a serious condition
and no sooner had she recovered con
seriousness than she was seized witt
hysteria. In one of her quiet moment:
she stated who her assailant was ant

No COLT tournament
Some Of the Des Moines Mon Fail to
Show up But Side Games Are
Arranged.
Capital City Men Get q Little the
Best Of the Playing in the
Morning.
Their Scotch Coach and His Work
cellaneous News Of
the City.

After considerable doubt and uncer-
certainty. due to the failure OF two of
the members of the Des Moines golf
team to show up, an arrangement was
fipslly perfected this morning for the
Playing Of q side tournament be-
tween the capital city and MARSHALL
town teams. The first half of the game
was played this morning, resulting
rather disastrously for the localteam, the
score being to for Des Moines. There
was considerable talk about the adyisa-
bility of risking a contest with probably
the two best men from Des Moines, as 1t
would not give the teams fair repre-
sentation.
The games, however, have nothing to
do with the regular tournament.
Considerable excitement has been
added to the contest by the presence of
an expert by the name of Simpson, who
came with the Des Moines boys and
plays golf as it is played in old Scot
land. In fact Mr.. Simpson is a Scotch
man and learned his game in his native
land. He has been employed by the Des
Moines club as coach. His playing is a
wonder. During the progress of the
playing, while the local team is taking
turn about with the two men, this man
Simpson played our men in pairs, al
lowing them to count the low man on
each hole. Messrs. Friend and Nom
mers won the first nine holes by two up,
but on the next round the expert won
back the two on Friend and Binford.
His scores however, do not affect the
tournament in any way. The Scotch
man plays around in AZ and 43 on an
average.
According to the arrangement Mr..
Warren Dickinson played Dick Nom
mers nine holes, winning by three up.
He then contested the next nine with
Harry Cammack, losing by two up, and
making the score to for Des Moines
Raymond Windsor played Gene Bin
ford the first nine. winning by four up
and then lost to Cammack by one, max
ing the total for the morning: Des
Moines Z; Marshalltown, 3. The Mar
shalltown boys are playing we'll under
fifty.

"REMINISCENCES OF LINCOLN,

How Governor Pratt Secured His Sons
Release From Fort Monroe.
Former Congressman Henry G.
Worthington of Nevada tells the
following story of President Lin.
coin:
Former Governor Thomas G,
Pratt of Maryland was the first Wing
governor ever elected by the people
of that state. During tho war he
was arrested by order of Secretary
Stanton and imprisoned ut Fort
Monroe.
During Pratt's confinement at
Fort Monroe Lincoln and Secretary
Seward paid visit to the fort on
important business one day. While
there Seward saw Pratt. They had
served in the United States senate
together. There WAS feeling ct
personal friendship between them,
and Seward interceded to have him
released.
Just at the close of the war
Pratt's only son was wounded and
captured and held prisoner at Fort
Monroe. Pratt applied to Stanton
and Mr.. Dana. his assistant, for the
release of his son. 1t was very
promptly and without ceremony re-
fused by both.
Governor Pratt then appealed to
me for an introduction to President
Lincoln. ! complied with the re-
quest and went with him to the
White House ami introduced him to
Lincoln. Lincoln grasped his hand
cordially and expressed great de-
light in meeting him, as he was the
first Wing governor elected in Mary
land. You know Lincoln was orig
inally Wing AMI strong partisan.

ment of his wounded son and up.

lease.
1.-The president became very re.
Elective, and after Il few moments of
silence and thought he asked Pratt
If he would exercise proper control
over the boy and try to effect
change in his mind and conduct.
Pratt gave him every assurance,
AMI after another long silence the
president said:
"'Pr;tt, do you know what was
