cLEw 10 CHELSEA CRIME.
Arrest Of Herzos and Burns and the
Evidences Auainst IhAm

SN00bssS 0Jus
Tama, Jan. Local officials are GER
tain that Herzog and Burns, the men
who We're arrested in Illinois last week
by Pinkerton detectives for completely
In the Chelsea bank robbery, are impli-
Gated in the crime.
The story of the arrest OF the men has
just been made public. Immediately
after the attempted robbery and the
killing of Marshal Rolla Smith; North
western n Pinkerton detectives were
placed on the matter, with the result
that Herzog and Burns, Tama City men,
were arrested in or near Chicago.
Herzog has been in Tama City for sew
eral months and has been working as q
machinist. Burns has been popularity
known as the head of the notorious
Burns gang which has been generally
connected with numerous petty thieving
and burglaries in the neighborhood of
Tama and Toledo.
Near the Tama City water tank is q
large circular depression in the ground,
or rather an embankment, leaving a
walled city inside. In warm weather

it is not an unusual sight to see from

whose reputation has not been Of the
best.
The clue which pointed to Herzog's
having been connected with the crime
was the peculiar shape Of the ball which
killed Smith. Only revolver shooting
cartridges corresponding to the ball
found in Smiths body was known in the
vicinity. 1t was formerly the property
of the city marshal Of Tama City, ard
had been sold by him to Herzog. This
fact, coupled with Herzog's disappear
ance, led the detectives to fellow up the
trail.
A further fact connecting Herzog with
the crime is his wooden leg, In the bot
tom of which are sharp pins or spikes
to keep him from slipping. Around the

the men were captured is regarded us
another point that the right men have
been captured. There is some difference

Kensett, Jan. 1.-THE most novel ac-
ton ever brought to the notice of the
courts and public took place here
when one Louis Gullickson. an auc-
tioneer, who is endowed with an usual
gift of versatility and business tact,
sued a prosperous young farmer liv-
ing seven miles west of Kensett to
recover the balance due him under a
verbal agreement for services to have
been rendered in securing for said de-
PENDANT a handsome and highly re-
spected young lady who resided in the
same neighborhood for a wife.
It is authoritatively stated that said
defendant was so thoroughly imbued
and hypnotized to the idea by Louis
Gullickson that such an agreement was
entered into.
The services were evidently rendered
in good faith as agreed, as the knot was
tied in due legal form and within a
very short time after negotiation had
been opened up to the entire satisfac-
ton of all tr%ansacting parties. Forty
dollars was then paid said auctioneer
for services purported to have been
rendered in af1liating the two hearts,
but as is often the case with verbal
agreements the balance was lever paid
(due largely to the novelty of the affair
becoming common place) to the ire
reparable loss and dismay OF the auc-
tioneer, who had evidently worked
q, {f6f,,11, q, <hA l{coforu0 ne hfe .l,S<fny
in uniting said defendant to his present
wife, who, altho living in the same
neighborhood. was noted to be a trifle
shy and adverse in affIiating with the
gentler sex. For this non-fulfillment
of this promise to pay plaintiff brought
action before Justice Eerb T. Finch.
Said auctioneer plead his w case,
making a few preliminary remarks and
among other things stated If said de-.
PENDANT had anything t say now was
the time to unload before it was too
late. The defendant was here again
lead astray by the vociferous conglom-
Grafton of facts and fancies that the
inner man was coerced into calling
said a%uctioneer from the already
crowded room Of curiosity seekers to
deliberate upon some mutual agree
ment.
This elaboration resulted in an
agreement to the effect that said de-
PENDANT paid plaintiff 500, making in all
$50 for alleged services. The legality
of the transaction is questioned here
by the thinking people and they are
inclined to sympathize with the de-
PENDANTS, who are estimable young peo-
pie and highly respected. It is gen.
orally conceded that this was a case
of coercive and hypnotic weight
brought to bear on the weakest link in
the chain.
There is also an undercurrent tone OF
dissatisfaction by the majority of peo-
pie against the Justice, and he is se-
verely arraigned for permitting a case
Of this nature to come before the public
gaze with SO little merit and for the
purpose of coercion and intimidation.

70 ASK FOR new JUDGE
Linn County Bar Association
Will Petition the Legislature
to That End.
Want the County Set Off As Sep.
arate District With Two
Judges.
Will Also Seek Law Making the
District Court Sessions
Continuous.

Cedar Rapids, Jan. by q vote of "a
to 10, the members of the Linn County
Bar Association, at a meeting held in
the superior court room of this city
voted in favor Of setting off Linn coun-
ty as a separate judicial district with
two judges, and a committee of five was
appointed to go to Des Moines and induce
the legislature to enact such a law.
There was some plain talk regarding
the present court house facilities IN
Marion and resolutions were passed by
unanimous vote authorizing the ap-
of another committee OF v
to confer with the county board OIL SUI
%pervisors and ask them TO proVlde an
other room wherein jury cases may be
tried. 1t was resolved, moreover, tnat
the district court Of this county should
be kept open for the transaction OF pus-
iness during the entire year. with the
exception of legal holidays and the
months of July and August. The cal
endar for the coming year, which pro-
vides no term Of court between the
months Of April ard September, was
subjected to sharp criticism by many
of the lawyers present. Colonel Clark
thought that d committee should go 70
Des Moines to secure the passage OF q
law compelling the judges to hold court
the entire year except on legal holidays
and during the sixty days between the
last of June and the first of September.
He declared that he, for one, was heart-
ily tired of the present cowboy meth
cd of holding court in Linn county" and
the convention cheered the sentiment.
He declared, moreover, that he was 0
in favor Of putting another dollar into
the old shack of q u house IN Mar
ion and that sooner or later the court
house must be moved to Cedar Rapids.
Again the convention expressed its ap-
prevail of the sentiment, with the ex-
ception of the Marion contingent. Col.
Clark said he made such a statement
not from a desire to provoke any con-
with his brethren from Mari
on, but because it was a condition that
must be faced.
Strong speeches were made against
the movement by Major Milo p. Smith,
e. H. Crocker and others, but those In
favor of the change had the most votes
of the meeting.
The following committee was ap-
pointed to visit Des Moines: James D.
Gifen. Marion; j. w. Jamison. Cedar
Rapids; C. w. Kepler. Mt. Vernon: G.
J.. Deacon, Cedar Rapids; J. II. Pres
ton, Cedar Rapids.

pointed to confer with the board of SUI
