NEW METHOD OF PAYMENTS.
Rock Island Tries New Departure q
Valley Junction.

Valley junction.
Des Moines, Sept. S.-A change In the
manner of paying Rock Island employees
at Valley junction in the past few
weeks has given rise to speculation as
to the future intention of the road with
reference to the Des Moines & Fort
Dodge road. This is the road the stock
Of which recently slipped from the
Rock Island control by the placing on
the market of the Gable stock and
which is operated under lease by the
Rock Island which will expire in 1905.
Heretofore pay rolls have been sent out
by divisions and the cost Of maintains
ing the Valley Junction shops and
yards has been divided between the
several divisions. The shopmen. men
in the bridge and round house DEPART
ments, switchmen and members of the
yard force say that for the last two pay
days their entire check has been
charged against the Des Moines & Fort
Dodge division, which embraces the
leased road, and that this road Is car
rying the expense Of the shops, etc.
Railroad men. bankers to whose at
tention the claim as to the method Of
paying, ETC., have been called and 9TH
ers have INDUCED in considerable spec
sulation as to the meaning of the change
in the method of paying. One opinion
is that it is the purpose of the Rock
Island in the three years the road is to
be under its control to make poor
showing on it's reports in an effort to
Cypress the stock. The reports of the
roads are published by divisions and
with an addition IN fho vnoiu

to the Valley Junction pay roll the app

4 Adopts the Outlaws Methods.
Especial to Times Republican.
Sioux City, Sept. S.-There Is M
longer any doubt that Ed earns. the
slayer of Sheriff Strain. is in Nebraska
He has adopted the methods of Trac,
and at the residence of jay Upton OF
the Winnebago reservation ordered w
lunch and ate it with his gun lyine
across the table in true Tracy fashion
Mrs. Upton and daughter, aged IL
were the only occupants OF the house
While earns was eating Mrs. Tiptor
asked: Did you hear how the sheriff
was over in Iowa?"
| earns replied: mo. Is he the fellow
hit?"
Mrs. Upton said: Yes, and they have
been hunting you ever since and had
dogs on your trail"
We'll, I've seen no dogs nor anybody
else, and they have not got very close
to me, anyhow" replied earns.
He then went upstairs and put on his
winter clothes, which he left there last
winter when working for Upton. He
talked a while, and in answer to the
question how he got there said he
crossed the ferry at Albaton. He made
few remarks and disappeared in the
same direction that he came.
This information is supposed to be
absolutely correct, as earns is well
known to Mrs. Upton.
The posse with dogs is now in that
vicinity, but the country is very rough
with willows and brush. and 1t is not
hard for earns to conceal himself for
some time. He has friends there and
knows every foot OF the ground him
self, and his capture is not an easy
matter.
1t has developed that Ed earns. under
the name Of John Morgan, worked for
several farmers on the east side of the
county He formerly belonged to the
Doc Middleton gang, and is claimed to
be dead shot with a gun. Ordinarily
a quiet man he was bad man when
aroused, and no one dared to cross
him. He was known as an extra good
hired man, and never had any trouble
except on two occasions. but would
stand no bluffs Of any kind. A posse
of forty-five armed men with blood

Homer. Neb. There is no doubt that
earns is in this part Of the country
and escape seems impossible. With

this letter. This was about Aug. 20.
He had been seen by Hoeft to read the
note over and over again. 1t worried
him SO apparently that Hoeft's Curl
cSity was aroused.
on Aug. 81, after the noon meal. Bar
tholin pulled the mysterious letter from
his pocket in Withdrawing his handker-
chief 1t fell on the floor, and was
picked up by Hoeft. Curiosity impelled
him to learn what was worrying Ed
wards, as Bartholin was then known,
so Hoeft took the letter from the en-
velope. He glanced at the opening line.
My Dearest Will" and then at the en-
yelope addressed to George Edwards
and realized the discrepancy at once.
According to Hoeft and Town Marshal
a. p. Harris the letter in substance ran
as follows:
"My Dearest Will: Lay low and get
Along as best you cam"
Then came a reference to some
money matters not yet settled in Chi
oagO, for which the receiver of the let
ter had evidently been looking. COntin-
uing it said:
keep stiff upper lip and I'll be able
TO help you soon"
After reading this much Hoeft saw
Bartholin jump up from the shade of
tree in which he had been lying and
hurry toward the house. Hoeft hastily
put the letter in the envelope and
dropped it on the floor where he had
found it, just as Bartholin entered.
Bartholin, who had evidently seen
that Hoeft was reading his letter.
picked 1t up and, giving his employer
a fierce glance, walked out of the house.
The next day he left the ranch, and
three days later he killed himself. pre-
sumably In the realization that the
woman who had written him had failed
to secure money to aid him in his flight,
without doing which Bartholin knew he
was doomed to the gallows He also
realized the fact that Hoeft knew much
of the damaging contents of the letter.
