Council Bluffs, Nov. 2s.-The barber
shop and school of Randolph & Foster
at IL North Main street was treated to
a coat of tar and feathers about mid
night Wednesday night. The police had
no knowledge of the affair, nor any
clue to the perpetrators.
Nearly half barrel of tar was used
and the indications pointed to whole
feather bed being donated to help carry
out the decorative scheme. The tar
was smeared all over the doors and
windows, rubbed into the cracks Of the
building and bright, new barber pole
was changed from its patriotic hue to
the dull black and white, with Ply
mouth Rock feather trimmings. Wher-
ever a feather would stick, one was
placed, and the appearance of the front
of the shop is extremely grotesque.
The intent of the parties who carried
out the deed was evidently to show dis
approval of the barber shop. The place
is what is known as the barber school.

CHAINED TO A TREE.
Council Bluffs Officers Take Severe
Measures With UnruIy Prisoner.

Council Bluffs, Nov. 2S.-Deputy
Sheriffs Baker and Canning were given
a writ of custer to serve for A. T..
Flickinger and George L. Cotter yes
terday afternoon against Theodore
Bachelor, who lives in Meadowlawn
Park, near Twenty ninth avenue and
Eleventh street. Upon their arrival at
the premises it was found that a deaf
mute named Crowl was living in a part
of the house, and that he had antici
pated the visit of the officers by bdrri-
cading the doors and windows.
Crowl had placed red handkerchief
upon a pole as a sign of danger. and
with an ak he held the fort inside the
house.
1--WE are officers of the law, let us In"
said Deputy Canning to the mute, but
Crowl couldn't hear a word. Finding
that words were futile, force was re-
sorted to. Deputy Canning secured a
mering at the door.
After several blows the door gave
away and the two officers rushed into
the house. But Crowl was not to be
daunted. He made q pass at Deputy
Bakers head with his ak, but missed
him. Thereupon Deputy Canning drew
his revolver, and while the mute was
busy lodging the weapon Deputy Ba-
ker secured the AK.
But the troubles of the officers had
only begun. When they attempted to
remove the furniture from the house
Crowl interfered and it became neces-
sary to get him out of the way.
After some search the officers Sc
cured log chain and tied Crowl to q
neighboring tree, until the goods could
be removed from the house. Tho he
couldn't smream, the mute, with fear
full gestures of hands and feet, at
tracted the attention of the entire
neighborhood. When the goods were
placed in the street and the door
fastened Crowl was released and tho
officers returned to the court house,
having done their duty.

Webster City Nov. 2s.-Mr and Mrs
John T. Britt. of Helana, Mont, arrived
in the city Thursday night and expect
to remain several weeks looking after
the property given Mrs. Britt by the
courts, belonging to her father. the late
Reuben Bennett. The case is a familiar
one by which this daughter, unknown
to the resident heirs, appeared upon the
scene shortly after his death and
brought suit for possession of his prop
erty. The case was tried in the district
court here and Mrs. Britt won. An APP
peal was taken to the supreme court,
and the decision of the lower court was
sustained. A rehearing was asked for,
which the supreme court refused to
grant, and, so far as the law is con-
cerned, the case Is at an end.
Mr.. and Mrs Britt will now go be-
fore the district court for a settlement
with DR.. O. A. Hall, the administrator,
and take possession of the property.
The estate is valued at between $4,000
and 100000. and consists of 400 acres of
choice farm lands in the vicinity of this
city, all of which goes to Mrs. Britt by
the decree of the court.

A short time ago we published an ar
ticle recommending to our readers the
new discovery for the cure of dyspep-
STA, called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
and the claims then made regarding the
wonderful curative properties OF the
remedy have been abundantly sustain
ed by the facts. People who were eau
tious about trying new remedies adver-
tised in the newspapers and were fnai-
ly induced to give Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets trial were surprised and de-
lighted at the results. In many cases
single package costing but 90 cents at
any drug store made complete cure,
and in every instance the most bene-
fetal results were reported. FROM a

timbers were being taken from the rail-

spent several days here last week and
succeeded in locating many hundreds
of dollars worth of the timber In the
yards of prominent citizens of the town
and surrounding county, where 1t was
being used for fuel. These parties, in
most cases, had secured the ties from
the section men, who claimed to have
the right to dispose of them. AS far as
possible all the timber has been return
ed to the railroad company. No arrests
were made, but the discovery has led to
the wholesale discharge of section men.

To Patrol Mississippi.


Special to Times Republican.
Davenport, Nov. 2S.-A local paper
suggests police patrol of the Missis-
sippi, which is becoming the refuge of
desperate. criminals. Ii says: Atten-
tention is being called to the harbor the
river affords for would-be criminals. 1t
is said by those acquainted with the
river and river people that no better
place could be found than the islands
along the stream for hiding booty and
base of operations. 1t
seems probable that the ranks of petty
thieves and burglars are recruited from
the shanty boat jewellers and the island
campers, whose very existence was
hardly suspected by those not familiar
with the big stream.
AS the breeding place and the refuge
of criminals the river, in the opinion of
some, is a standing menace to the COM
munities bordering on 1t. and called for
the utmost vigilance and efficiency on
the part of the police. One acquainted
with it says he believes the problem
OF dealing with the floating population
would not be adequately solved and
could not be solved until the city main
tanned police launch for patwoling the
waters of the Mississippi for miles up
and down. This launch could be well
maintained by Davenport and Rock
Island jointly, since each of the cities
is interested in the work it would do.
The police patrol boat would be eff
fective for the daily and nightly trips
during which the trained officers in
charge would be able to Investigate
anything of a suspicious nature and to
form that intimate acquaintance with
the river population which would re-
suit in the lessening of crime and the
speedy detection and capture of crimi-
mails. This party said his observation
of police work in this city and other
cities was that the constant touch in
which the officers and detectives kept
themselves with the rough element and
the friends they made among the asso-
ciates OF criminals had more to do with
the detection OF guilt than any other
one element. Knowing the river popu-
1ation intimately and making friends
among the better shanty boat jewellers
and islanders, the officers detailed on
the river patrol would have a good field
