waterlo officers Catch Emil Dimler
in Attempt to Rob.

Waterloo, Aug. 16. - Officer Dinzy
caught Emil Dimler red-handed the
other night at 10 o'clock as he was about
to attempt the robbery of the Redmond
meat market cash drawer. The fellow
was taken before Justice Kuhns the
next morning and waived examination,
being bound to await the action of the
grand jury. The prisoner gives his name
as Smith and says he is from Spirit
Lake but letters on his person are adj
dressed to Emil Dlmler, and they point
to his home as being at Ocheyedan,
Iowa. One letter is from sister who
works in Sioux City. Another is from
Miss Emma O'Brien, who works at the
Wilson House in Webster City. This
letter has been forwarded several times,
showing that Dimler has been in Ne
braska City, independence and other
places. He received the latter at the
latter place. Letters also indicate that
he has brother. a sister and mother
at Ocheyedan..
Dimler is man aged about 35 years.
short of stature and square jawed. He
came to Waterloo on Saturday, or at
least that is as soon as he can be ac-
counted for here. He Is thought to be
the same man who was stopping at the
fremont Hotel under the name OF l..
Ward, who with j. WEIGH registered
from Dubuque, stopping Sunday and
Monday night at the hotel He was
very well dressed and from his appear
ance would never be taken for bur-
slar. That he is one of the gang which
has been working here and pals of the
two fellows arrested by Officers Dahl
and Dinzy Monday night there is no
question.

FOUND RARE OLD RELIC.
Dubuque Fisherman Discovers . Pc

Dubuque Fisherman Discovers Q Pc
culiar indian Tomahawk.
Dubuque, Aug. 16.-Alfred Meyer. who
resides at 118 Prince street. has in his
possession rare Indian relic which he
found in the Mississippi RIVER at the head
of Hams Island in the northern part of
this city last Sunday while out fishing
Mr.. Meyer, who Is young man, was
using throw line, and when out about
100 feet from the shore threw out his
hook. When he attempted to pull the
line in he found that his hook had
caught hold OF some heavy object,
which. when he pulled it out, resembled
the root OF a tree covered with mud. He
was curious, however, to see just what
the object was and pulled It up into his
boat and then proceeded to clean 1t off,
and much to his surprise he discovered
his catch to be rare old Indian relic in
the shape Of tomahawk. It was not
one of the ordinary kind of war instru-
ments. but seems to be a tomahawk
made especially for some redskin Of high
rank and was used as badge of his
office and an ornament Of great value.
The weapon has a sharp edge and is
not quite so wide as our ordinary hatch
ct. 1t has pole end also after the
manner of our hatchets, but the pole end
is hollow, and has an opening at its
base, the same as pipe bowl. The han
die, part of which is rotted off, is hol-
low, thus making it possible to use the
tomahawk for a pipe. The handle was
originally about eighteen inches in
length, and has band of some kind of
metal around 1t which looks like tin or
nickel. This band encircles the middle
of the handle, which seems to be made
Of hickory wood. A sort of oblong star
of the same material is set in the handle
on both sides further down toward the
hatchet, or tomahawk, These ornaments
seem to have been set down into the
wood and were even with the surface of
the handle when put in.
The Ratchet part also has ornaments.
On one side appears heart made of
cooper hung by pendant from cop
per band which goes around the Ratchet
This ornament evidently has meaning
and probably denoted the rank of the
chief who carried the tomahawk The
fact that it could also be used as pipe
would strengthen this belief and shows
| that beyond a doubt some Indian of high
pedigree and rank carried the weapon
and used it as a pipe of peace at the
councils of big Indians.

Burlington, Aug. ia correspond
ent writes to the Hawkeye from Homo
lulu. under date of August 2. giving
particulars of the suicide of Efiie Civ
ems as follows:
Honolulu, H. T., Aug. 2. 1901-Ef1e
Givens, the 15-year-old daughter OF
]. w. Givens, who came to the islands
recently from Seymour. Ia, committed
suicide here Saturday in a momentary
fit OF insanity. The girl was alone In
the house at the time. but was dis
covered COON after the commission OF the
deed, dead.
The mother of the girl died some
time ago, and until a few weeks ago
she had made her home in Seymour
with her grandmother. She came OUT
here to live with her father who mar!
reid for the second time. and who mad
been making his home at Hilo, on
Hawaii 1t was first thought that the
girl may have been murdered, but these
suspicious were cleared afay at the In
quest.
The girls stepmother testified that
Effie had been bright and cheerful all
morning, and when the remainder OF the
family left at noon she prepared lunches
for them. Miss Felker, who makes her
home in the same house, heard the tele-
phone ring during the afternoon and
when she went to answer the call came
upon the girls body lying PROSTATE in
FOOL of blood upon the floor. She imme-
diately sent for physician. but the girl
was dead before he arrived. From the
appearance of the body she must have
prepared herself for burial before firing
the fatal shot.
From the testimony of the stepmother
the fact that the girl had been told she
was about to become insane evidently
caused her to take her life. Mrs. Civ
ems said: II have been told that the
girl had a peculiarly shaped head. and
people with those kind of heads go in
sane. A gentleman friend remarked to
her some time ago that she was likely
to go insane any time, and this evil
IDENTIFY preyed upon her mind. Many
people have made the same kind of re-
marks regarding her. tho we paid no
attention to them 1t seems that some
thing on her brain must have snapped
and then she got this insane idea into
her head to kill herself
The girls full name was Efhe Ger.
trude Givens. She was buried In thi:
city. The coroner's jury brought in {
verdict of suicide while temporarily in
sane. LOUIS MEYER.
