er detectives under the guise Of hunters
appeared and struck up an acquaintance
With the embryo desperadoes. They
hunted with them, drank from the
same canteen," and after exchanging
many condolences departed, saying they
would return again and hoped to bag
bigger game
When they took Brockett and his pal
once more in their confidence they sug-
gested wrecking the b., c. r. & N. on a
certain date October 15), when they
knew, as they alleged, that big lot of
money would be shipped by the express
company, and the chances were for rich
plumber also from the passengers. The
detectives feigned a lack of knowledge
as to how to proceed and as to the best
location, when Brockett and his pal
suggested spot less than two miles
south of Nora Springs. They went so
far as to confess their previous trial,
and that the former attempt had proved
abortive.
The detectives lastly planned for a
similar fiasco, and while the rails were
being misplaced the b., G. r. & N. de-
tectives and the sheriff of Floyd county
surrounded them and made them pris-
oners. Two other arrests were made
and the quartet Crockett. Fay, Carmal
and WILSON, stand good chance for a
long abiding place at Anamosa.

WILL ARGUE FOR NEW TRIAL.
Cont VIII Hear Woods Case Again
on Monday Next


Winterset, Oct. FLA. L. Woods,
postmaster at Winterset and ex-repre-
sentative of Madison county in the leg
lslature, has been convicted of perjury
The case arose from the charges of re-
sorting to a place for prostitution and
iewdness, which We're brought against
Wood some time ago. 1t was charged
that he sustained criminal relations
with Minnie McNeeley. Wood was in
dicted on two counts. In the examina-
ton before the grand jury Wood, under
oath, swore to statements concerning his
relations with Minnie McNeeley, which
We're directly disputed by the evidence
of a large number of other witnesses.
Among other things he swore that he
at no time took the woman into the
postoffice after business hours, or any
other woman except his wife. He also
swore that he did not take the girl rid
ing after night. The state then put on
the stand a number of witnesses, who
swore to an elaborate system of espion-
age, partly voluntary and partly by the
employment of interested persons, and
partly the results of accidental observa-
tions These all testified to seeing him
take her into the postoffice after night,
or to seeing him take her away in a
buggy after night. When she was put
on the stand and asked about these
matters she said she did not remember.
Proceedings for perjury We're insti-
tuted against him, and the members of
the first grand jury testified to the
statements made before them. Wood
was indicated for perjury and subordi-
nation of perjury. The trial on the
perjury charge was conducted before
Judge Gamble by County Attorney
Robbins and j. II. Henderson of Indi-
anola. For the defense the counsel was
Dabney & Cooper and Guiher & It'd
rick. The attorneys for the defense
waived argument and the jury, after
being out four and a half hours, re-
turned a verdict of guilty. Mr.. Woods
has been given till next Monday to per-
feet a motion for a new trial, following
which sentence will be pronounced. The
state law provides penalty of impris-
onment in the penitentiary not exceed
ing ten years. Following the verdict's
announcement, the county attorney dis
missed the two cases in which Woo
was charged with resorting to ana
using places of prostitution and lewd-
ness. The reason was that it was un-
derstood Minnie McNeeley would not
testify concerning any criminal rela.
tions between herself and Wood.

small Fire at Eldora.

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, Oct. 21.-An alarm of fire was
sent in last night about o'clock, which
got the fire department out in force.
The fire was located in a small resi-
dence owned by Mrs. Susan Fisher in
the Fourth ward. All indications point
to incendiarism. The house was unoc-
cupied and undergoing repairs. A
quantity of straw piled against one end
of the house was where the fire was
started. Prompt action saved the house
from destruction. 1t is presumed to be
the work of small boys.
Politics and political talk seem to be
unusually quiet throughout the county.
AS Congressman Dolliver said, the facts
are so plain that no discussion is neces-
sary. Only two more republican meet
ings will be held in the county, viz: A.

Iowa City, Oct. 2.-Friday afternoon

TRAIN wREcKERs CAUGHT.
Clever Detectives Lead GuiIty Parties
Into a Confession.

Into a Confession.
Mason City, Oct. 21.-On Monday,
October 2, there was the most dastard-
ly attempt to wreck the Burlington,
Cedar Rapids & Northern passenger
train, No. 3, going north, near Nora
Junction. that is recorded in railway
annals. This is the train that does most
of the passenger traffic and is always
we'll crowded with through passengers
at this season of the year. The train
was late. and how it escaped as bad a
wreck as the disaster at Waterloo is
nothing less than a distinct miracle.
One mile and half south of Nora
Junction the engineer noticed the en-
CINE swerve as though it had struck a
broken rail, but as the train passed
over all right he thought nothing about
1t. The freight that followed it had a
similar miraculous escape. AT the same
point the freight engineer felt his pow
erful engine shudder and the humping
and jumping of the cars was so no.
ticeable that the freight conductor re-
ported what he thought was a broken
rail and the section foreman was or
dered to investigate the matter and re-
pair the track.
u,
a broken rail, evidence of one of the
most diabolical plots to take human
life and ruin property that has ever
been unearthed in this section. The
fish plate had been removed the bolts
taken out and the end of the rail put
out of place at least six inches. There
were fresh footprints in the vicinity
and they led in the direction of two
families who lived in the timber in a
secluded spot near Shell Rock. and
whose regulations for outlawry had
been pretty we'll established.
The foreman quietly repaired the
break and reported what he had found
to the agent, who at once put the Of
ficials in full possession of the facts.
Capt. William Mettler, superintend-
emf of the b., c. r. & N, and chief of
the detective force. went to work at
once upon the case. The footprints We're
measured to q nicely and an exact pat
tern made of them. The tracks were
the imprnts Of the feet of at least two
different persons.
The Brockett family, already alluded
to- We're at once suspected, and in the
course of a couple OF days two men
drove to their cabin and asked to be
taken over some of the country, for
they had options on certain lands they
wanted to buy. They tramped the sus-
poets on marshy grounds, in soft dirt
and clay, SO that they might get good
sample of the footprints. and, paying
them for their services as guides, dis
missed them. The footprints were
carefully measured and patterns were
taken, and the comparison with those
at the fish plate near Nora Junction
showed conclusively that the same par
ties had made both.

were two OF Pinkerton's Chicago detec-
tives. and In . couple Of days two 9TH

The Pyramid Pile Cure is q success
because 1t has the merit which brings
success. 1t cures every form OF piles
ana cures them to stay cured. 1t II now
the most popular and best known pile
remedy before the public, and one rea-
son for its great popularity is because
It has taken the place Of surgical opera
tions, once considered the only sure
cure.
People often wonder that SO simple
remedy will so promptly cure such an
obstinate trouble as piles are well
known to be. Yet the greatest rene
dies and greatest inventions we have
are the simplest, and the fact that it
does cure is all the sufferer from piles
wants to know.
The Pyramid Pile Cure cures piles in
any stage Of the disease, as shown by
the following testimonial letters which
are published everyiweek and new cases
reported each time:
From George c. Check, Owens Mill.

who had suffered very much. The first
trial did her more good than anything

sented."

tirely pleased and satisfied with results.

with bleeding piles and have used a

The proprietors of this remedy could
publish columns of similar letters to the

enough to show what it will do in diff
ferent cases.

Holstein, Oct. Give are having the

the crop will be gathered quite early

acre. Some pieces are reported as high
as fifty to sixty bushels per acre. The
small grain yield is below the average,
but the entire farm crop is satisfac-
tory and will be a good paying yield for
the year
The effects are very apparent in bust

several years past. More goods in all
