aged 72. must serve term of ten
months in the penitentiary at Fit Mad

longing to the estate of Thomas Hen

Some two years ago Thomas Hender-

to be an heir appeared in court and was
appointed administrator. Mr.. Morri-
son was known here by many Odd Fell
lows. he being at that time treasurer of

and upon recommendation of leading
citizens received the appointment by the
court He told his story in court yes
terday afternoon and tears came to his
eyes as he reviewed his past history
He had been resident of Marengo for
forty years, had held public office and
had always tried to live an honorable
life. He was treasurer of the Odd Eel
lows and as such Incorporated
funds. The amount was more than he
expected when the time came for set
Element. So he used the money of the
Henderson estate to square accounts
with the Odd Fellows. He said he
owned no property and had no money,
that he wanted to get his sentence
quickly and get away from the public
eye Judge Gamble said he was sorry
to have to sentence man of his age,
but duty demanded that he do so, and
then passed sentence upon him for ten
months imprisonment. Mr.. Morrison
has wife at Marengo who is over 70
years of age and who knew nothing of
his appearance here in court until to-
day. Mr.. Morrison had left Iowa for
Oklahoma few weeks ago but was APP
pretended by his bondsmen and
brought here by Sheriff Rudson last
week. It happened that Judge Gamble
had promised upon adjournment of
court several weeks ago to return on
the 23d inst, SO Morrison went before
him and plead guilty. 1t was a sad
sight to witness the sentence of the old
gray haired veteran and there were few
dry eyes in the court room when the
judge had finished his speech and pro-
nounced sentence.

Strange Man Digs Great Holes Near
Muscatine.

Special to Times Republican. =.
Muscatine, April 24.-There are some
people In Muscatine and vicinity that
are puzzled. A strange and uncommon
sight has met the gaze of frequenters
of the river above Muscatine the past
week or so. Any one walking down to
the edge of the river bank at the foot OF
Iowa avenue, can by looking up stream
see anchored at point at the foot OF
Hog island small cabin boat. This is
not an unusual sight, but there dwells
within that cabin one of the strangest
acting and oldest individuals that has
been seen in these parts for years. He
is Industrious, for when others are not
looking he goes out on the sand bar at
the foot of the island and with on old
shovel which he has in his possession
he digs great holes in the sand. At the
approach of human being he drops his
spade and runs for his cabin boat, seek
ing to hide himself from the sight of
prying humanity.
