Surprise In Peyton Case.

Sioux City, Sept. 1s.-A new sur
prise has been added to the Robson
murder case. Frank n. Peyton, the
man who was brought here from St.
Louis, to answer to the crime on the
strength of a confession to the St.
Louis police, has decided to plead not
guilty. His decision came as COM
plete surprise. Six weeks ago he first
told how he helped to kill Contractor
Robson; two weeks later he repeated
his story to Chief Nelson of this city,
and when the officers started from st.
Louis with him he declared that he
had killed Robson and that he wanted
to plead guilty at once. Every prep
aration had been made to bring him
into court to make his plea, but he
upset all the plans after ten minute
talk with lawyer, and when he was
brought into court mot guilty" was
his plea. 81 g..

Des Moines, Sept. pa factory
for the manufacture of Portland Sc

az lime rock from several localities
n the state have been gathered re-
Gently and analysed and the reports
on all the stone are favorable. Inc
question of location will pro badly
be determined in q short time.
John II. Kilmar, local contrac-
tor, is acting as the Iowa represen-
tative of parties who will put in the
plant. To a reporter Mr.. Kilmar
said: sit has always been known
that Portland cement could be made
from lime rock, but the difficulty has
been to devise process that would
be inexpensive. In late years this
has been accomplished and Iowa
limestone has become available Tor
this purpose, The stone containing
the largest percentage of iron is best
adapted to the purpose, and the specl-
mems we have examined all sho" d
great deal of iron. We have been
looking into the situation, particu-
larly in Mason City, Iowa Falls and
Earlhann, small town just west OF
Des Moines on the Rock Island, ana
find that the stone at all paints is
equally good. It is quite likely Sc
lection will be made between the
three points at an early date. The
location will depend largely upon
the price at which 1oo-acre tract OF
land can be secured, the depth OF the
strata of limestone and the expense
of quarrying it. We are now pre-,
pairing to take soundings on several
tracts at each of these points to Sc
cure the necessary information" Mr..
Kilmar refused to say who the par
ties behind him were or how extern
sive an investment would be made.
All he could say is that we plant
will be built at one of the three
points named. - "-..

IuUnE EltUt
Iowa City, Sept. 10. After several
months Of inquiry on the part Of Ex.
pert Accountant Kierulff it has been
discovered that the county treasur-
er's Office is short $12,246.O1. This
covers period since 1892. In his re-
port the amount of shortage under
the term of "A. r.. Cherry amounted
to $9,40O.ss, while the shortage dur
ing Mr.. Makers term in 1895 amount
ed to $1,134.33. The report COM
pleted by Mr.. Kierulff covers the col
lection Of taxes for the years '92,
1913 and '94, and during tnal lime he
has discovered shortage Of $1,s90.s0.
The total balance shown by the books
during this period was $16,12s.53,
while the true balance as ascertained
by Mr.. Kierulff is $1S,O13.33. This
last report completes the investiga-
ton of the accounts from the begin
ming of Mr.. Makers term in 1892,
until the present time. 1t covers o
period of eight years of Mr.. Makers
incumbency, the total amount of the
shortage is $3,025.13, while Mr.. Cher
rvs total shortage was $9,4OO.S8. The
total amount missing for the eight
years is S12,426.01. The report of Mr..
Kierulff shows that the errors in Mr..
Makers accounts were made largely
in the footings, although small
in some places had not been
distracted after collection. All but
81 ,s99.ss of the shortage has been COW
cred by cash by both Mr.. Cherry and
Mr.. Maher. The above amount was
found in the early part of Mr.. Ma
hers term. The board of supervis-
ors will meet at the call of the audi
tor, and it is not yet known what ac-
ton will be taken in regard to tho
new shortage. APES

Svanson's Miraculous Escape.

Fort Dodge, Sept. so.-Physicians
are puzzled over the case Of Martin
Swanson. who was run over by a
caboose on the Illinois Central with
out a bone being broken. Swanson
is a machinist and was working I'M
der the caboose when the freight
engine backed down upon it. He was
caught underneath and the caboose
passed over both legs close to the
body. He was taken to the city hos
pital and his wounds examined, and,
to the surprise of everybody, his in
iuries were found to be confined to
flesh wounds. The injuries are Sc
rious, but not necessarily dangerous.
His escape is regarded as miracul-
