Council Bluffs. July 31.-Two news
boys, George Neman and John Fisher
were the center of Il sensational kid
mapping affair here. in which the boys
We're forced away by Il gang of burly
tramps, from whom Fisher escaped by
good fortune and the activity of the
police, and to whom Nieman is still
captive.
Nieman and Fisher are bright, re-
spectacle boys, about 16 years old.
They had started out to go swimming
in C;ilberts lake, the two riding one
bike. They rode between the tracks of
the Northwestern railroad, and near
ing the end of the yards, overlook three
men. The men closed i'll upon them
and ordered them to get off the bicy-
Gle, with which order the boys COM
piled, altho at first they thought the
men We're only fooling with them.
The three tramps then ordered Me
man TO walk ahead With the bicycle and
young Fisher TO follow him. threatening
that if either of them attempted to run
they would shoot them. The boys. who
We're now thoroughly frightened,
obeyed. and in this manner they pro-
ceeded for nearly a quarter of Il mile,
when the tramps ordered them to climb
the hill alongside of the track. Neman
expostuated, saying he could not drag
his wheel up the bluff. and one of the
men seized the bicycle and threw it into
the weeds and ordered the boy to climb
without it. Young Fisher hesitated
about climbing and another of the trio
seized him by the collar and forced him
up the hill. Reaching the top of the hill
somewhat ahead of the Others young
Fisher made dash for liberty and sue
ceeded in hiding in the tall underbrush.
He made his way back TO the road
alongside of the railroad tracks and
sought shelter in a near-by house. The
man of the house on hearing Fishers
story armed himself with a revolver
and started out after Nieman and his
captors, but failed to find any trace
of them. Fisher then ran back to town
and notified the police. They captured
a man named Anderson. Anderson
claimed the whole matter was a bluff,
and that there was no intention to keep
the boys. Nieman who escaped later
and returned home minus his bicycle,
thinks they simply meant to possess
themselves of his wheel. The police
ire striving to head off and arrest the
.wo men who are still at large.

POTATO GOULD AT LARGE.
Insane Man Escapes from Poweshiel
County ASYLUM,

Montezuma. July 31.-"Potato" Gould
for many years AN inmate of the coun-
ty asylum, is at large and has been for
q couple of weeks. The board of con-
troll insisted that certain liberties be
given the inmates and that a high
board feslce be constructed forming an
enclosure in which the people could eN-
ercise. This request was complied with.
One morning Gould arose about day
break, went out into the enclosure and
dug q passage-way under the fence and
made his escape. There is no clue as
to the route he took after gaining his
liberty. He is harmless fellow, a glib
talker and will probably be taken for
book agent or a lightning rod peddler
rather than a crazy fellow. He halls
from east of Brooklyn where a long Sc
ries of domestic difficulties marked his
residence there. He declares that the
insanity in his family, comes from his
wife's side of the house. He is author
ity on raising potatoes and for this rea-
son he was given the title of Potato
Gould.
