LEFT BETWEEN DAYS.
Poweshick County bridge contrac-
tor skips Out, Leaving Many Cred-


Montezuma, Feb. s.-Alonday morning
the county bridge gang reported III the
home OF Contractor Reynolds bright
and carly ready to go To work but
upon investigation ii soon developed
that Reynolds had vamoosed sometime
during the night. taking all of his be-
longinss With him except part of his
household goods which q bro;her-in-
law claims to have purchased. His
wife and brothers accompanied him. as
sisting in driving the teams which We're
drawing the bridge building machinery.
AS soon as il was discovered that the
outfit had departed an inventory of his
liabilities was taken and ii is now
known that he owes something like
$700. He left a good-sized board bill at
Searsboro and there may be numerous
cases Of this kind when all parts of the
county are heard from. kilograms We're
sentin all directions and the first trace
of them Was at Tnornburg. Deputy
Sheriff Binegar and Attorney Bechly
took the matter in hand and yesterday
afternoon the gang was arrested at
Columbus Junction and VIII be brought
back here in Il day or 50. For sometime
Ii has been quite evident that some
thing was rotten in Denmark, but no
one knew just where it would crop ont
Reynolds has been too reckless to merit
success in anything. He thought more
of drink than he did Of his job and he
probably had taken the work for a less
price than II could he honestly done.
There is quite a history connected with
his fellow. A man named JAYNE, at
Marshalltown. Il special friend of MIR
Mortland, got Reynolds and Mortland
each To put in 4 bid for the buildin. of
the bridges III this county. This, was
two years ago Mortland was deter
mined to knock James Hope out and he
helped TO faster this outfit upon the
county and we are told that there is
now on file in the auditors Office a
written recommendation from Mortland
endorsing Reynolds This fellow owed
Jayne and he was 10 pay him so much
every year in return for his assistance
in getting the job. The lowest bidder
farce enabled Reynolds to get the job.
Reynolds flunked and failed TO come
to the scratch in the payment of
Brother Jayne. Hereafter we hope ii
will not be necessary to go out of the
county for some one to build our
bridges. Let a decent price be given
for TIE work and a decent man be given
the job.

for murder in the first degree. The de-
fense in the case is that Hageman acted
in self-defense in shooting Moody; that
he had ordered him ont of the house,
and that he refused TO go. and that as
he was a smaller and much weaker
man, the use OF the revolver was the
only method he had of protecting him
self from assault on the part of Moody.
On the other hand. the state maintains
that Moody left the house upon being
ordered by Hageman, and that he was
shot down when going down the porch
steps after leaving the house. This view
of the case promises a serious outcome
for Hageman if it can be proven.
