Webster City, April 2-M. G. Hop
kins, whom Deputy Sheriff Sutton cap
tured last Saturday in Freeport, ILL.,,

Justice Bonner yesterday. He was held
on the charge of burglary. 1t is said
that together with Tom Hopkins, his
nephew, now in Jail under an indict-
ment upon this same charge, he Is
guilty of having taken several boxes OF
sweet corn from the warehouse at the
canning factory. He was bound over to
await the action of the grand jury
which meets Monday, April 81.
The testimony of Hopkins little 49,
year-old son was sensational in the
extreme and given under pressure of
much emotion. It was the testimony
of the son which was most incriminat-
ing to the father. The little fellow. sit
ting in the witness chair, between sobs
and tears. told a pitiful story of crime
forced upon him by his own father.
How this unnatural father and Tom
had taken him to the warehouse and
boosted him up to window. How, un-
der their direction, he had crawled
thru the window, let himself down to
the floor inside and unbolted the door.
This gave easy access to the burglars,
who then made away with the corn.
The crime committed by these two men
is punishable by a penitentiary SEN
tence of not more than ten years.

Eagle Grove. April 2.-Last Monday
the city election passed off with con-
siderable ginger mixed up In Its COM
position. A strenuous contest was
very evident to the most lethargic OBJ
server in wards Third and Second.
The issue was the electric company's
attitude toward the rates on city light
ing. In the Second ward the strife
wes between NJ. K. Donovan, the pres
ent alderman, and Frank Mulligan, the
former being adverse to any increase
in the city lighting rates. and the latter
supposedly being in favor Of a COM
promise measure. The election results
in this ward were: Donovan IS, and
Mulligan So, which continues Dono-
van as alderman. The Third ward
struggle was between j. w. McGrath,
the present incumbent, and w. R.
Blake. The issue was the same as
that In ward Second In this ward,
however, the contest Appropriated an
equality in the voting strength of the
two aspirants, resulting in the reten-
ton OF McGrath by the small margin
of nine votes. In the First ward r.
Richardson was elected without OPP
position and in the Fourth NJ. Arm
bruster was elected over H. A. Cook
by a majority of A votes. The re-
suits of The municipal election demon
strate that the electric company must
live UP to the stipulation In its fran
chise with the city. The company
could not have more definite ex-
preston of the city's opinion regard
ing the rate issue. At this election
a franchise was granted to gas COM
pany who desire to place plant in our
city. The vote in favor of the above
named franchise was 30S for and 10
against. A tax was also voted to sup
port and establish a city library.

special to Times-Republican.


Waverly, April 2.-The Busse muir
der trial is progressing slowly. Tues
day was taken up with the selection
of jurors, and the jury was not yet
completed when court adjourned. The
examination of the jury was conducted
by j. II. Scales, of Ackley, on the part
of the state, and Gibson & Dawson, of
Waverly, on the part of the defense.
The examination thus far would indi-
cate that the case in the judgment OF
the attorneys is likely to turn on the
question with the jury of whether the
death penalty or life imprisonment
shall be the punishment inflicted by
the jury. A number of the Jurors
stated in answer to questions pro-
pounded them by the state that they
had conscientious scruples against the
infiction of the death penalty, and
altho this is a proper subject OF IN
quiry, yet it seems that it is not
ground of challenge for couse. 1t was
observed that the Jurors who so an

cused by that state by way of perempt.

largely German county and thus far
a majority of the Jurors who have been
allowed to remain in the box are Ger
mans. The examination has been very
rigid and careful on both sides. The
defendant Busse was attended during
the first day of the proceedings by his
brother, Frank Busse, in addition to
his attorneys. A large attendance
from Butler county. in addition to the
eighty venire men, made standing room
at premium. 1t is anticipated that
the completion of the jury will be had
some time today and the taking of the
evidence will proceed after the state
ment of the opposing counsel has been
made to the jury. 1t is impossible as
yet to suggest the length of time that
this trial will take except by way of
guess. The state is represented by
County Attorney Burling, Of Butler
county, J. II. Scales, of Ackley, and
Long, Hageman & Farwell, of Waverly.
Opposing them are w. S. Montgomery,

Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque. April 1.-The mysterious
disappearance of Captain Albert w.
Hosford, OF this city, over two weeks
ago has occasioned much wonder and
uneasiness among his friends, and wor-
ry among with whom he has been con-
nected in business for years past. He
real estate agent and enjoyed the en-
tire confidence of this community, in
which he has resided for forty years.
He served honorably thru the war and
was prominent in G. A. r. circles. On
the strength of his reputation he has
been handling funds for people who
trusted him, many of them widows. 1t
is now openly charged that he has
absconded for the purpose of evading
prosecution for embezzlement An eve
ming paper publishes a list of cases of
widows who have lost the money en-
trusted to him. His wife and family
even do not know where he is. There
is movement on foot to legally break
open Hosford's safe and see what 1t
contains. The son, r. w. Hosford, who
disappeared at the same time as his
father, has been seen at various places.
He is also wanted.
During the past few days several
upon by women who presented their
case and asked for advice. One wo-
man who resides uptown states that
she borrowed s1,400 on her home thru
Hosford, and then wishing to pay off
this mortgage, gave him $50 at five
different times, each time taking his
receipt. He was supposed to have
paid this $3.50 on the mortgage at the
Iowa Trust and Savings bank, but the
woman learned yesterday on calling
at the bank that nothing had been paid
on this mortgage.
Another widow woman residing near
Seventeenth and jackson streets, who
does not care to have her name men
toned, states that he got 5000 from
her in a manner which now leads her
to think he has deceived her, and she
has engaged an attorney to look after
the case.
A woman who lives out near the
Cascade crossing, whose husband died
a few years ago, also mourns his abb
sence. Her story is to the effect that
when her property was converted into
cash the sum of $4,000 was turned over
to Hosford for investment. Like all
others who gave him their money to
handle, this woman had the utmost
confidence in him, and while she had
from time to time received small sums
she claims that she till owes her over
$500. This woman states that he had
told her that all her papers were in
his safe, and she knows nothing about
the condition Of her business.
A widow woman residing on Main
street is another mourner. She holds
memorandum signed by Hosford
which shows that he had loaned $4,000
of her money to a we'll known farmer
near Buncombe. This woman was
also told that her papers were care
fully locked up In his safe, and she,
too, had the utmost confidence in him.
