tens.

LICENSES FOR AUTOMOBILES.
Question Being Considered by Dis

automobiles engaged in public service In

come under the personal tax law The
matter was called to the attention of the
Commissioners some time ago by Mr. II
H. Darnaille, the District assessor who
suggested that the status of the vehicles
should be fixed before the beginning OF
the next fiscal year. The Commissioners
yesterday received a letter from George E.
Hamilton, attorney for the electric vehicle
company. claiming that the company can
not be included under the provisions of
the license law until Congress SO author

Police Unable to Locate Burglars of
Phillips Company Safe.


Phillips Company Safe.
The men accused of committing robber-
les across the river at the JacksonP Phil
lips Brick Company's property and the
railroad tower at St. Elmo have not yet
been captured. 1t Is believed the burglars
came to this city after making their es-
cape from the vicinity of the places where
the robberies We're committed. John A
Crowley, who is employed in the railroad
tower had an exciting adventure with one
of the supposed burglars whom he fol-
lowed to this city, the latter coming across
the river in an automobile. When Crowley
discovered he had been robbed he got Oh
the track Of the man supposed to have
his watch and chain and a suit OF clothes
He pursued him to one of the gambling
places and Crowley grabbed the watch
from his pocket. The latter refused TO
give up the clothing, and according to re-
port received by the police the gamblers
took the part of the alleged robber. An
exciting scene followed and the alleged
thief, who claimed he was being imposed
upon. was permitted to occupy seat in
automobile with strangers and came
across the bridge. He left the vehicle hear
the bureau of engraving and printing and
disappeared. The police believe he met
two companions and left the city with
them.

Refused a Divorce by Judge

The Timber Creek woods south of the
city was the scene of an exciting en-
counter Friday evening, and as result
Ed Sandstrom is nursing very sore
head and Charles Dunn is under bonds
to answer to the charge of assault with
intent to infict great bodily injury. The
stories told by the two principals differ
materially. Sandstrom alleges that
Dunn laid in wait for him while the for
mer was returning from Marshalltown
to his home, and while on the public
highway five miles south of town as
has a cash on his nose, one on the right
eye and two scalp wounds, as the result
of forcible contact with Dunn's lantern.
Dunn's story is to the effect that he
was overtaken on the road by Sand
strom, and that the latter commenced to
abuse him. and that this abuse led UP to
the assault. The sheriff's officers We're
notified by telephone message Friday
night of the trouble, and this morning
Sheriff Shoemaker started for Timber
Creek to arrest Dunn He met the lat
ter en- route to this city to give himself
up. Dunn was arraigned before Justice
Burritt. His preliminary hearing was
set for next Tuesday and he was re-
leased ON his own bond. The trouble is
alleged to be the outgrowth of marital
Dunn's wife having formerly
been the wife of Sandstrom.

LOCAL COMMENT.


The campaign preceding the republi-
can primary has opened thus early with
considerable yigor Candidates for clerk
Of the courts, recorder. auditor, county
attorney and one member of the board
of supervisors are 10 be nominated. For
recorder there are already four prospec-
tive aspirantS mentioned. Mrs. Packer
has been urged To- become a candidate
for another term and will probably do
so. Mrs. NJ. j. Pierce, Mrs Georgia Nc
MILAN and Mr.. Oscar Allen are also
feeling the public pulse with the view of
asking the nomination at the hands of
the republicans. County Clerk Knisely
will without doubt be accorded a second
term without opposition Mr.. w. E.
McLeand, who was candidate for the
authorship nomination two years ago
and who failed only because of the pc
culiar political conditions. will be a
candidate before the primary. To sue
coed County Attorney Stone there are
several probable aspirants. among them
F. e. Northup, C. H. Van Law and G.
w. Lawrence.
The attorneyship, while it does not
pay the best salary. is one of the most
important positions to be filled, and the
nominee should be chosen on his merits
While the position has been looked upon
as belonging to the younger attorneys,
there is always the danger here and in
other counties of making the position a
sort of kindergarten, to enable a young
lawyer to obtain start. Many of the
older attorneys will not accept of
the position because they can
not afford to do so, and therefore the
republicans should choose wisely There
are among the younger attorneys and
candidates men of considerable expert
ence and recognized ability. who are
free from any entanglements. and the
party will be quite sure to make no mis-
take. The position is important because
the utmost care must be exercised in
of the numerous COM
plants laid before the county's legal adj
wiser, and costs to the county, thru in
experience or errors of judgment could
be made to run up into the thousands of
dollars every year It is he who must
prosecute al! the criminal. cases, and in
these it is important that conviction

community and deter others from
wrong-doing.

other points
