Colon, Colombia, Aug. 23. via Kinos-

now two years old has lately assumed
a more serious aspect by the liberals
concentration on the Isthmus. Uu-
easiness prevails sat Panama, the lib

rebels will molest traffic.
Recent rebel raids along the rail-
road amounted to bloodless raiding
and robbery of Chinese storelSeepers.
The area in revolt is extensive. A no

the actual and moral support the lib

countries liberal governments prevail.

Evidence Tends to Show She
Might Have Been
Assaulted.
CITIZENS ARE INDIGNANT
Think Different Verdict From That
Rendered by the coroner's Jury
Should Have Been Found-commit-
tee Takes the Matter Up.

Douds, Aug. 26.-(Special)- Ethel
Morrow, daughter of Scott Morrow,
who at present is in Kansas and whose
wife is living near this place, is dead,
under what the citizens of this conf
munity considered very suspicious
circumstances. Consequently COM
mittee notified the proper authorities
and coronor's inquest was held Sun
day. A post morten examination nela
by Drs. Sawyer, of Eldon; Mcclure, of
this place, Herriford. of Leando, and
Morris, the coroner, revealed the fact
that criminal intercourse with the
girl whose age is about 10 years, had
caused her death. Other evidence in
cluding his own statement showed
that the child had been brought from
Kansas alone with man in a
road wagon and had been on the ROAD
about two weeks, arriving here the
night before she died. In spite of the
evidence of the examining physicians
the Jury returned verdict that de-
ceased's death was caused by inflam-
nation of the bowels and vagina, and
did not cite any farther cause or con-
clusions.
Great Indignation is expressed by
many at the verdict, and it is allege
the county attorney after hearing the
evidence was SO confident of a differ.

CHECK FoReER WORKING.
Secured Money From Three ottumwa
Firms Saturday.

From Mondays Daily.
The man with forged checks is again
abroad in Ottumwa. Three merchants
of this city were made the victims of
his oily tongue. They are George
Pierce, e. l.. Ulrich and 7. Bigham.
The amount secured from each was
small. and the same kind of check
and the same persuasion used in each
case. The matter was reported to
the police at once and close investi-
cation is being made, although up to
the present time nothing new has turn
ed up and it is believed the man has
gotten out of the city. The mans
name is not known and he is evidently
a stranger He is described as about
five and one-half feet in height, and
is fairly we'll dressed. and is what
might be called fashy dresser. He
wore a black hat, and appeared to be
an adept in the business.
In each store where he uttered the
forged instrument he would buy a
small amount of merchandise and then
tender a check drawn on Silberman
Brothers for $12 in payment. In each
case the legality of the check was not
questioned, and after taking out the
amount of his purchase, the remainder
was given the man in money AT
Pierce's pair of shoes was obtained
at Ulrich's a hat and flannel coat was
secured and it has not been learned
what he succeeded in getting from
| Bingham.
