Two Women Arrested by Detectives
last NIGHT

Two Women Arrested by Detectives
Last Night.
The local detectives last night arrest
ed two women who are charged with
being shoplifters and who are believed
to have been plying their business quite
extensively in this city recently. The
two women give their names as Annie
Thompson of New York and Pearl
Douglass of Providence. The former
is a handsome young woman about
twenty-three years Of age and the lat
ter is of prepossessng appearance and
about twenty-eight years of age.
When they were arrested last night
at a hotel on lower George street,
where they were staying, they were
both dressed in the height of fashion
and the detectives think that the
clothes they wore were part of the
plumber which they are believed to
have taken from local dry goods stores.
Complaint was made to Captain
Cowles of the detective bureau Monday
that shoplifters were working in some
of the large department stores of the
city and Detectives Dunlap and DAILY
wer detailed on the case. These two OF
ticers made the arrests last night.
In the women's room at their hotel
the detectives found three trunks filled
with silk skirts, silk waists and other
valuable goods which they are thought
to have taken from the stores in the
city. They were held last night under
81 900 bonds each Against the Doug
lass woman there are five charges OF
theft and against the Thompson wo-
man three charges of theft. They will
go before the city court this morning.

CREASED THE TRACK
THEN THEY LOOTED THE FREIGHT
CARS WITH EASE.

A Train RObbing Scheme That Ts
Said to Have Originated In France
and to Have Created Much Mystery
Until 1t Was Laid bare.
The scheme of greasing railroad
tracks to slow up train is due to an
old Frenchwoman, who saw with re-
greet her sons income as train robber
running down. II can't board those
fast through freight trains" he
complained, in excuse; and his confe(
crates, who were his sons, backed hi
up in it.
''Then grease the track" retorted t.
indomitable old lady, land doE
stand there ha-ha-ing like so MAI
stiles. Try it, and you will find OF
who is silly, you OF your old mother.
The boys called it ''grandma's idea
but they tried it. For months afte
the date of this conversation the ffeigh
department. officials of the Paris, Lyon
and Midi Railway company continued
to be mystified over the unaccountable
loss of valuable merchandise from the
fast freight train that had been their
pride and boast. The packages simply
disappeared.
Detectives pursued clews in vain.
The traps laid for the robbers caught
nobody, and the robberies grew more
and more audacious. They sealed the
cars on their departure. The cars ar
rived at their destination with the
seals intact. The cars were specially
watched from the moment of their
loading and sealing until the moment
Of departure. At every station trusted
employees examined them and stood
by them until the train started off
again. They discovered nothing. The
chef de train-an honest man-ofered
to resign. The story got into the
papers, and wonder mongering phi
losopher of the type of M. Flammarion
wrote articles about it, bringing in a
fourth dimension of space, Cracks in
the universe" and the innate perver-
sity of inanimate objects.
One day a trackwalker happened to
observe along the line between Savig-
ny and Juvisy-surOrges scattered
row of white sugar coated cough drops,
extending from the middle of the
track to where they lost themselves in
a mass Of shrubbery at the side. Fol-
lowing them as Hop O. My Thumb fol-
lowed the white pebbles, he found
them leading to the roadway, across it,
into field, and there the clew gave
out. Evidently some one had carried
a bag of cough drops over that route,
a bag with hole in it, through which
the cough drops fell and scattered.
The indication was precious, because
there was precisely a bag of sugar
coated cough drops among the mer-
chandise that disappeared the night
before from the fast through freight
train. Reporting the incident, a care
full search was made Of everything in
the vicinity, and, much to the aston
ishment Of the detectives, the tracks.
were found to be thickly smeared with
lard. Smeared with lard! Lard!

r Why OF course, it flashed on them I'M
| mediately that some one must have
put that lard there. Why? That was
the mystery, and they pondered over
! it three days. Then one of the detect
| ives had a great thought, "Let us
| lie in watch around that neighborhood,
and perhaps something will turn up"
That night as the detectives of the
Paris, Lyons and Midi Railway COM
pany were lying hidden by the track
they perceived dark shadows moving
toward them Three men, a boy and
two women came up and began mys-
terious operations They carried buck
cts and worked kneeling down along
the track. They were greasing the
rails again. The detectives allowed
them to work on in peace till all was
finished. They remained in hiding
while the mysterious track greasers,
all but one man, hurried down the line
In the direction of Paris. They wait
ed. The moments seemed long. At
last, however, the rumbling of an ap-
preaching train was heard. 1t was
the fast through freight.
The freight train was coming down
upon them at the rate of 80 miles an
hour. When it struck the grease, they
could see it slide along for quite a
distance, then slow up to a remarkable
degree. 1t almost stopped. Away
ahead the locomotive pulled and Ia
bored Did the engineer and fireman
feel the Stacking up? 1t seems not.
The train labored on awhile yet till
the putting locomotive had dragged it
clear of the last creased rails and then
resumed it's former speed. But the
detectives, always watching, saw the
whole trick and admired it's ingenuity.
A freight car door was open, and some
one inside was throwing out all kinds
of packages. while the family picked
them up along the track. From the
top of the freight car just beside the
door, there hung and swung kind of
rope ladder. They saw the man inside
the car, when he had finished throwing
packages, come out and support him
self on the ladder They saw him slide
shut the freight car door, seal it again,
climb the ladder, unfasten it, throw it
off and then jump off himself just as
the train was getting up it's speed
again. The trick was discovered.
There was nothing left but to arrest
the robbers. Caught with their booty
i'll their hands, they made a full con-
fession. "It was grandma's idea,' the
ungrateful young men clamored. All
the same they could not prove it. And
grandma. when they came down upon
the house, was found in bed, as inno-
cent as any little child. "Why, what
naughty boys" she said ''to try to
drag their poor old grandmother into
their troubles" The family got vari-
Gus terms of Imprisonment, excepting
the old lady, against whom there was
no proof Exchange.

A young man of this city rang up a

recognized the difference at once and

ment of the twenty seventh annual pic
nc of the Marshall County Old Settlers
Association, and the date has now been

This action was taken after due de-
the association and others Interested,
the decision being made at II clock. A
consultation was previously held, but
Gefnite action was not ken until la
ter hour in order to obtain better view
of the situation, the number of outside
visitors in the city, etc.
While the officers regretted the ne
cessity of postponing the picnic, they
concluded it would be better than to
deprive the country people of the pleas
ures of the gathering. The rains have
made the country roads almost impas-
sable and very few people from the
rural districts We're in town today. The
morning trains brought quite a number
from surrounding towns, notably State
Center, Lisconlb and Albion, and the
Marshalltown contingent would have
made gathering of considerable pro-
portions, but not satisfactory to the as
