Des Moines Jewelry Store the
Scene of a Daring Daylight
Robbery
THIEF ENTERS STORE AT NOON
One of the Proprietors Confronted With
a Thief at the End of a Big Gun
Nearly $1,000 Worth of Goods and
Cash Taken-Thief Escapes After a
Lively Chase.

Des Moines, Dec. 5.-One Of the most
daring robberies ever committed in
Des Moines happened yesterday at one
o'clock at the jewelry store of II. p
Hobbs, at 514 East Walnut street.
Mr.. Hobbs had gone into the real
room of his store and when he emerg-
ed he found a man filling his pockets
with watches in the front end of the
establishment. The man drew re-
volver. backed Mr. Hobbs into the real
room, went thru his pockets for money
ordered him to go upstairs, went into
the front room, seized about $500
worth of watches and jewelry, walked
out of the front door, met Mr.. Hobbs
in the alley and again held him up al
the point of the gun, threatening to
shoot A. Pulick also, and then went up
the street. He was chased by a num-
Der of men and threw away the ring
tray. Later the detectives found the
watches together with his overcoat and
revolver in coal house at Seventh and

them. Mr. Hobbs lost none Of his
goods.
Mr.. Hobbs gave good description
of the man. He said he was about 30
years of age, had on a derby hat and
wore a brown mustache. He thinks
that he could identify him. Harris Lee
vich believes that he knows the man
and says that he will help the detect
ives. Chief Hardin said last night that
he believed that the man would be In
Jail within a short time.
The hold up occurred after dinner.
Mr. Hobbs was alone in the store. He
had gone into the back room to wash
his hands. Without completing this
he had stepped to the door of the room
leading to the front Of the store, being
attracted by a noise. He saw the man
at the front room filling his pockets
with watches and piling the ring trays
one upon another on top of the show
case. The entire jewelry stock was
worth perhaps $4,000 in the vicinity of
the place where the fellow was work

Grinneu, Dec. 5.-The attorneys fol
| the farmers owning land thru which
the Iowa Central railway changed its
roadbed, south of town, secured very
satisfactory settlements in the recent
term of the district court. John Boyle
was given $4,000 instead of $4,000 as
awarded by sheriff's jury, Peter Douo
| $425 in place of 1925. Joe Humbert $500
instead of $3.50, and John Creamer $715
in place of s475. The cases of John
Devereux and John Rutherford We're
continued until the January term in
hopes of settlement.
The Iowa Central, when it undertook
the task of Strengthening its track and
reducing the grade on School House
hill, changed the route for several miles
and was compelled to buy new right
of-way thru several farms. Emery
Bartlett accepted $4,000 for strip one
mile long running thru his farm. VIII
Summers accepted $4,000 for a strip
one-half mile long and the railroad
company moved all of his buildings,
house, barns and sheds, as the new
route ran directly thru his door yard.
In the other cases settlements with
the owners could not be made at first
and in April sheriff's jury condemned
the necessary land. The owners APP
pealed six of the cases and four are
now settled, with two continued. In
addition to securing a raise of from
500 to $500 above the sherin's jury
awards as indicated above, each man
gets a quit claim deed Immediately for
the old right when the COM
pany could have held it eight years I'M
der the statute had the cases been tried
and decided against it. The farmers
also get all of the old fencing, ties and
bridge timbers and Messrs. Boyle and
Humbert each get a subway for stock.
The settlement is highly satisfactory to
the farmers interested.

WRIGHT HAS A PLAN.
He Encourages the Small Associations
of Butter Makers.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Dec. 5.-Dairy Commits
soner Wright is following up plan
which he has had in mind for long
time of encouraging the small associa-
tons of butter makers. The butter ex-
hibit at the state fair and at the ma
tional meetings and other places where
the professionals compete, have their
value, but it is chiefly for those Who are
already experts. By holding small
meetings, for counties or districts, the
class of butter makers who are not ex-
perts, but who desire only to be capable
of making good butter, will be reached.
Last week Mr.. Wright attended a
meeting at Jewell Junction where an
association was formed. AT Dyersville
splendid meeting was had. AT these
small association meetings the farmers
meet together on a common plane.
Mr.. Wright is making 1t a business of
going about over the state encouraging
these smaller meetings. He Is prac-
teal man in every way and gives val
liable advice to the butter makers.
More is being accomplished in this way
for the cause of good butter than ever
before in the history of Iowa.

FAMILY NEEDED THE COAL.
Old Story of Stealing Bread for Hun
ory Mouths is Modernized.

Special 10 Tines Republican.
Sioux City, Dec. Edgar Marsh,
la packing house man, was on his way
home last night and was passing thru
the railway yards. in the vicinity OF
Steuben street, when he saw a large
chunk of coal lying beside the track.
Marsh picked it up and was about te
carry it home with him when he was
arrested by Frank Lee, a Waterman
for the Union station, Bridge and Ter
minal company.
Lee notified the station house by
telephone, and the wagon was sent
down. Marsh, ill-clad, pale and shiy-
ering, was brought into the station,
and Lee charged him with having
stolen the coal
Marsh said that he had no intention
of stealing. He saw the lump of coal
lying upon the ground; he did not
throw it off a car or receive it from any
one who did. His family needed the
coal, and he was about to take 1T
home. He said that he would not run
away and that if the police would let
him go home he would be in police
court in the morning if they wanted
him.
The desk sergeant was touched by
the poor fellows story, and let him go
on his word. If the company desires
to prosecute they will have no trouble
in finding Marsh, but the guess was
hazarded at the police station last
night that nothing further would be
done in the case, so far as Marsh is
concerned.

Dealers Fear Harvester Combine Will
Discriminate Against Small Towns.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. Dec. 5.--Said one Of the
members of the state association of I'M
plement dealers last eveningin speaking
of the harvester trust and its menace to
the small dealers of the state: Il do
not know what we shall do to curb the
power of the trust. / know we must
not lie idle and allow the combinations
to have everything their own way.
This association is composed of the
small dealers of the state. men who
handle the business in towns and small
cities, and they are a part of the very
life and existence of these towns. The
fear is well grounded that the trust
will reduce the number of those who
handle machinery and have the busi-
ness handled from the larger cities. If
1t is possible forus to prevent thiswe will
do it--but 1t looks a little dubious for
the small dealer and the business of the
small towns"
Incidently it is found that the dealers
and merchants are not the only ones
who have a grievance against the ten
dency to corporations and combina-
lions. Lawyers are beginning to make
complaints. One who was formerly a
representative of one of the railroads
crossing the state called attention to
the fact that when he was In the en-
ployment of the railroad company he
had a sort of division and got enough
business to make it worth while. Now
the business is practically all handled
by the firm or attorney who repre-
sents the whole state. The local at
torneys get little or nothing out of it.
Then there is tendency to concentrate
all the business at the state capitals or
big railroad centers and to leave out of
consideration the many firms that for

Iowa City, Dec. 5.-Judge Wade SEN
fenced Charles Holada to the peniten-
tiary for life for participation IN the
murder of James gallagher. Hoiada
plead guilty to murder in the second
degree to the extent that he confessed
aiding and abetting the murderer. Judge
Wade said the murder was one of the
most coldblooded ever committed in the
state; that either Mrs. Gallaugher or
Holada We're guilty, or both; that the
woman had been acquitted by jury
and that he could but give the limit
allowed under the plea, which had been
accepted by the state.
The published rumor which appeared
"Wednesday evening to the effect that
Holada had made another confession
and admitted all, even to the fact that
/ he was in the bedroom when James
ssailaugher was murdered and that he
fired one of the shots, but that his
shot did not take effect, is denied by
the prisoner as base and unqualified
falsehood.
Mr.. Holada when interviewed said:

the newspapers ever since l have been
In Jail. This last statement that have
again confessed, is unfounded, and am
at a loss to understand the motive.

1t will be remembered that Mrs. Gal :
laugher admitted on the witness stand
that she swore falsely before the cor
oner's jury, and in addition it is claimed
4 that she gave false testimony in several
matters when on the stand in her own
defense.

the Indictment was returned have been
