ARREST FIVE MEN.
Sheriff of Davis County Wanted Them
but Afterwards Asked That They
be Turned Loose.

A lot of excitement was created last
evening when the police marched five
men up the street to the police sta
ton. They were taken from the Wa
bash train on information from the
sheriff of Davis county, who desired
that they be held. He did not state
the charge, and when telephoned later
in the evening, gave instructions to
release them. Seven men were in the
gang, five of wnom were arrested
here. 1t is not known what the
sheriff of Davis county wanted with
the men, the only information he gave
being that the men had boarded the
train at Bloomfield and had a sus-
picious look.
Three DRINKS were in police court
this morning, one of whom is the col
,ored cook for one of the companies
encamped with the Fiftieth regiment
on the South Side. All of them plead
not guilty this morning, and are being
tried this afternoon.

STREET CARNIVAL LOOKING UP.
Petitions Now Being Circulated Are

Being 2Ientifully Signed.
1t begins to look as if the proposed
street carnival will be a go, judging
from the number of names attached
to the petition which is being circulat-
ed asking the city council to grant
the use of the streets for that pur-
pose. Manager c. George Hamilton
has one petition that contains the
names of many solid business men
who say they desire that street car
nival be held, while ]. w. Garner has
another equally voluminous. Mr.. Ham
ilton received letter this morning
from L. C. Cook, advance agent for
Buffalo Bills Wild West Show, and
that gentleman stated that he had
ordered 1000 special Autographs
printed to be used for the purpose of
advertising the carnival, and that
they would be sent here in few days
for distribution. Mr.. Cook, upon his
arrival in Ottumwa, will take what is
left at that time and with his paste
brigade will distribute them.

DON'T KNOW TOMMY JONES.
The Boy Arrested at Burlington charg-
ed With Picking Pockets.

Gu WIN FiSNiuS EoSNCIS.
From Tuesdays Daily.
Tommy Jones, the u year old boy
who was arrested at Burlington, Sun-
day, on the charge Of picking pockets,
and who claimed to reside at 407 Nc
Lain street, Ottumwa, is evidently an
impostor. Inquiry in this city failed
to reveal any knowledge of such per,
son, and it is thought that the kid
Jones is a much smoother article
than the officers at Burlington first
supposed.
The Burlington Hawkeye in speak
ing of young Jones today says:
THE most the police have been able
to learn of his antece1ents is that lie
has already got his picture in the de-
tective papers rs having been
driven out of Louisville, Kentucky,
as a dangerous character.
He is accompanied by hand
some young woman, regarded ky the
police as the depository of gang Of
pickpcckets of whom the prec cocious
Tommy Jones in knee trousers is
one
Jones was held to the grand Jury
in the sum of 5000.

FOUR HOUSESSTRUCK
lightning Plays Many Franks Dur
ing the Storm This Morning.
AGGREGATEOF DAMAGE DONEIS SMALL
Residences of A. j. Grober, on Grant
Street, Ed. Alverson, in Riverview
Addition, Ed. utterback, in the Dain
Addition, and DR.. Bonham.

Four houses were struck by light
ming during the storm this morning,
the most damage being done in any
one case, probably to the residence of
Ed Alverson, in Riverview, which was
struck three times. A. j. Growers res
idence on Grant street was also dam
aged, as was that of A. F. Utterback,
in the Dain addition, and DR.. Bonham's
residence on North Jefferson street.
At Mr.. Growers place, No. 442 Grant
street, the chimney was demolished, a
hole torn in the roof and Mr.. Grover
was knocked down and stunned while
in the act of closing the windows. The
bolt struck the chimney, passed down
to the basement, struck cook stove
and gasoline stove, and buried itself
in the earth, passing thru heavy
stone wall. The family consider that
they Lad narrow escape, inasmuch
as majority of them were sleeping
near the chimney down which the bolt
went to the basement. One queer
prank the fluid played was to pass en-
tirely thru a gasoline can, but fortu-
nately there was none of the fluid
in it.
The residence of Ed. Alverson, in
isiFSl view eiuulIlOii, SuleIeu COuSlueI-
ably from the same cause. The Chin
ney was wrecked and plastering was
torn from the walls in nearly every
room. The family, who were in the
house at the time were uninjured
The third house to suffer was that
occupied by Ed. Utterback, in the Dain
addition. AS in the other places the
lightning struck the fue, passed down
to the cook stove, which was setting
on bricks, and spent itself in the floor,
boring two holes in that part of the
house. Fortunately no fire resulted
and none of the family were injured.
The damage is small
DR.. Bonham's residence on North
Jefferson street was slightly damaged.
AT this place the bolt struck the dome,
tearing away few shingles, and pass
ed into one of the bedrooms, where it
tor quantity of plaster from the
walls. No one was injured and the
damage is small.
