AWARDS BOY TO HIS AUNT
Judge Considers Solely the Future

ing Ruling.

After a hearing lasting nearly The en-
yesterday decided the habeas corpus pro-
cecdings over Edwin Hubbard. the 11-year-
old son OF Henry F. Hubbard OF this citv.
who died last Sunday, in favor Of the lads
aunt, Mrs. Lillian NJ. Balfour of Chatta-
nooga, Tenn. In arriving at this decision
Judge Macy explained that he gave the
custody Of the lad to the aunt and uncle
believing that the boys future welfare de-
manded II as Mr. and Mrs. Baltour were
far better able to provide for him than
his step-mother was or would be. At the
same time Judge Macy took the oppor-
tunity to pay a high tribute to Mrs. Hub
bard and expressed the opinion that while
she might feel the loss Of the boy whom
she had come to regard as her own she
would realize that it was for the blv's
good
Under the order of the court Mr.. and
Mrs. Balfour will be required to legally
adopt young Hubbard and this they stated
they were not only wi li1g to do. but
would make him equal with their daugh-
ter to their estate. The evidence before
the court showed that Mr.. Balfour is a
well-to-do merchant of CHATTANOOGA. The
court room was crowded during the hear
ing with relatives CT the family and the
scene when the court handed down his
decision was most affecting, the women in
particular being unable to restrain their

ROBBERS GET LITTLE MONEY
", A. Swanson Gives Up Sl.50 and Keeps
Roll of Larger Denomination.
SECURES HELP AND GIVES PURSUIT
Both HiEhwaymen and Swanson
Prove TO BE Poor Marksmen in
shooting Match which
Follows.

w. A. Swanson, a well-to-do farmer Of
Honey Greek, had a thrilling experience
with two highwaymen while driving home
from Council Bluffs last evening. Although
he had a large sum OF money on his per-
son, Swanson satisfied the demands of the
road agents by handing out $3.50 on the
pretext that this was all the money he
had with him. From the nervous manner
OF the two fellows Swanson is satisfied
they were amateurs at the business. He
was able to give the police a good descrip-
tion Of the two men, as they were not dis
guised in any way.
Swanson was driving home in his cutter
and he reached a point on the Crescent
City road Just the other side Of Krettek's
saloon when two fellows sprang into the
middle of the road. One seized the brides
of the horses, while the other placed a
revolver at Swanson's head, ordering him
to hold up his hands.
They're up" exclaimed Swanson as soon
as be could catch his breath The words
had barely left his lips when the revolver
in the hands of the highwayman was dis
charged and the bullet whistled by. within
an inch OF Swansons ear.
Hold on there Don't be in such hurry
with that gun; you can have my money"
shouted swanson.
well how much have you got? Hand
it out" answered the fellow with the
gun. Swanson said he had only $3.50 N
silver, and handed 1t over to the fellow,
who made no attempt to go through his
pockets. AS II was. Swanson had upward
of 500 on him. The fellows then told him
to keep on his way and not attempt to
turn back.
Swanson did as he was ordered until he
met a young fellow named Abel. to whom
he told about the holdup. With Abel he
drove to the latter's home nearby and there
secured a shotgun. Thus armed, Swanson,
accompanied by Abel and another young
fellow, drove back in pursuit OF the high
waymen whom they overlook near Ander-
sons brickyard on the outskirts of the
city.
The fellows, perceiving they were pur-
sued, stopped and both emptied the con-
! tents of their revolvers at the occupants OF
| the cutter but their craftsmanship was
| poor. Swanson, at the first outset of the
fusillade jumped from the cutter with the
shotgun and opened fire on the fellows, but
! failed to hit them. Seeing that their pur-
suers we're armed the highwaymen took to
their heels and jumped the fence and were
! soon lost to sight in the brick yard.
Swanson then drove on into town and
reported the matter to the police, giving
| them an ample description of his assail-
ants both OF whom were young fellows
| and evidently amateurs in the road agen
1 business.
