Iowa, March 10, 1915. For sixteen
years he has been an employe of the

He was taken seriously i'll in Sep

FOR DISTRICT ELEcron.
Name of Capt. $. H. Harper VIII b,
Presented to County Convention.
TFrom Wednesdays Daily.1

The friends of Captain S. H. Harper
will present his name to the republi-
can county convention. on Saturday
next, for Endorsement as candidate
for elector for the Sixth congressional
district.
Wapello county has never had a
candidate for elector, and as it has no
candidate for congress or delegate to
the national convention this year, and
has the largest delegation in the
nominating convention, it is certainly
entitled to name the candidate for
this place.
Captain Harper is we'll qualified for
the position, is a good speaker, aud
while he has never held office, has al
ways taken an active part in politics.
He is the senior member OF the whole
sale hardware firm of Harper d Me-
Intire company. The republicans of
Wapello county will no doubt strongly
endorse Captain Harper's candidacy for
elector in their county convention here
Saturday. and as Wapello has such
strong claims for the place there is
little doubt but that it's candidate will
be selected in the congressional con-
vention.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
o. d. stott. Fled Just In the Nick OF
Time.
From TUESDAYS Daily.

An exploding lantern in the hands
of 0. ID. Stotts, prescription clerk for
Clark d Aollison, came near causing
that gentleman to receive serious in
juries and was the cause of fire in
the basement of the drug store about
s o'clock last evening. That Mr.. Stotts
had Il narrow escape he does not doubt
and he owes his life to his agility in
making quick run for safety. This
morning the proprietors of the drug
store cannot make an estimate OF
their loss. which is principally to
stock in the basement, valued at SIS 900
with an insurance Of $4,000. 1t is not
thought, however. at this time, that
the loss will amount to anything like
the first figures.
a few minutes after s o'clock last
evening Mr.. Stotts descended into the
basement with a lighted lantern for
the purpose of securing a quantity of
japan for customer. The tank CON
tanning the fluid is placed near the win.
dow on the Second street side. He
had but reached this spot when an
explosion, accompanied by a binding
flash, took place. Mr.. Stotts made a
hasty exit and gave the alarm as he
came up the stairs. He had but reach
ed the top when another explosion
took place, which was followed short
ly after by still another. Smoke began
rolling from the basement into the
room above, and the flames shot up
thru the grating on the Second street
side. The fire department was on the
scene in a jitfy, laid a line of hose and
Assistant Chief and Fireman Howells
descended into the place. Another line
of hose was made ready, but the men
in the cellar with the assistance Of
their comrades were equal to the oc-
casion. The men worked rapidly and
in short space of time had the fire
under control. An inventory of the
damaged goods was hastily taken this
morning and it was found that two
of the tanks containing the japan had
exploded. All around were barrels
containing oils and shirts. These We're
charred but fortunately the fire did
not reach the contents else the fire.
men would have had harder fight
on their hands. The rafters We're char
red and other damage done, including
that to boxes of patent medicines ~
ing near. Mr.. Stotts is unable to ac
count for the first explosion, unless
the oil in the lantern was responsible.
1t is thought also that perhaps gases
had formed in the cellar and the light
was all that was needed to produce
the result. In the room above some
damage was done by smoke to the line
of stationery and books carried by the
firm. otherwise the loss in this part
of the building will be comparatively
small. Policies OF insurance to the
amount OF $4,000 was carried on the
Ottumwa semi-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1899-1903, 1900-05-03
ROBBED HIMSELF.
Pete Coleman Lays the Job NJ the door
OF Foot Pads.
Eroy,, yyradaae<1,,,,.. n, ;1.,f1 81

Pete Coleman languishes in the
BOBBY hatch this afternoon on The h
charge OF robbing his sister Of ahe
sum OF $40. Pete says that it is a@
mistake; that he was robbed by two
foot-pads of his watch. The police say
that Coleman robbed himself and then
tried to lay it onto two mythical
thieves. Coleman lives with his step
sister, Mrs. Stump, on Samantii;s
street. This morning she came up
town and left Pete in charge of the
house. When she came back $26 OF
her money was gone. An investigation
revealed the fact that her trunk had
been pried open and the money taken.
She accused the boy of the crime aud
he said, so it is claimed that bur-
glars entered and took, his watch as
we'll as the money. Officer Black was
called and he did not seem to be sat
isfed with the story and made
search for the missing property.
The money was found in the attic and
the watch under the bed. Black took
the boy in charge and he will now
be required to face the charge az
grand larceny. Coleman has been in
trouble before and if this charge
sticks it means term in the peniten-
tiary.
The petition for a new trial in the
case OF Samuel Marsh VS.. Adelia Streb-
low was dismissed today at the cost
of the defendant. On October III, 1857,
Adelia Streblow filed a petition in the
clerks office asking Judgment against
Samuel Marsh ct al. on certain prone
issory note. In December, 1898, jud
ment for the amount OF $695.4S was
entered, after a spirited fight. In Au-
gust, 1899, after the Judgment had
been rendered, Samuel Marsh fled q
petition for new trial on the
grounds of newly discovered evidence
absolving him from liability. Today
the case quietly went off the docket
at the cost of the defendant, and
judgment was rendered against her
for the costs.

being estimated at $1,000. The insur-
ance is divided among the following
