Gated at Sioux City Thomas Slattery,
who is wanted in this city to answer the
charge of seduction, the charges being
preferred by Miss Rose Johnson, of Ma

terry last night and will probably return

Miss Johnson, a girl still in her teens,
has an extremely pretty face, good
figure and is very prepossessing. Ac-
cording to the story she told the au-
thorities a few days ago she first
met Slattery at a wake. He was all a
bunch of goodness. He was a guest at
the home of friend residing near Miss
Johnson's home, about twenty miles
from Independence. Slattery is also
good looking and the girl accepted his
advances.
Slattery finally came to Waterloo and
secured a position in the Central shops.
He induced the girl to come here to get
married. She came without money or
friends and fell an easy victim of Slat-
tery's schemes. He kept postponing
the marriage ceremony altho she was
living with him as his wife. Finally
she refused to allow postponement any
longer. Slattery then left town.

many that the birds will not be pienti-

most of the birds found were in the
