SECURE RIGHT OF WAY.
Des Moines Southern Railroad Pur.
chases Privileges and the Road
WILL Probably BE Built.
Especial Correspondence

The Des Moines Southern railroad
has purchased actual right of way priv
ileges into the city of Winterset. The
price paid was $4,000 cash. T. E.
Cherry, of Des Moines, who is promot-
ing the road, paid over the money to
the landowners. This is regarded as
clinching the matter, and the people
confidently expect the road to be built.
During the past week the Des Moines
& Western railroad secured terminal
facilities in Des Moines to handle the
business of the Des Moines, Iowa Falls
& Northern road, which Z. S. Els
worth, of Iowa Falls, and others are
building from that city to Des Moines.
This road has been graded to the Des
Moines city limits this year.

WILL TEST THE LAW.
Right of the State to Erect Fishway
Over the Dam nt Donaparte to
BE Aired in Court.
Especial Correspondence

Attorney General Mullan has an
nounced that he will soon begin pro-
ceedings to test the right of the state
under the law passed by the legisla-
ture last winter to erect a fishway
over the dam at Bonaparte, and which
has been bone of contention between
the owners, Meek Bros, of Bonaparte,
and the state and fishermen for more
than quarter of century. Meek
Brothers claim that the state has not
the right to erect the fishway, law or no
law, since it would be destructive of
their property rights, as they view it.
1t is said that one of them proposes to
be a candidate for member of the Leg
Aslature in order personally to see that
the obnoxious law is repealed.

up his lines. "I'm goin' back now to

into Pettibones.

CHAPTER Xxx.

Col. Keever was pluming himself
for flight. 1t was his intention to
wing his way westward, alighting at
Harmony long enough to receive his
$3.50 from the committee of WAYS
and means.
To remain long in Concord would
be to court disaster. The score of
men from jamestown he had sent to
Amityville there to await him and
receive the $1,000 promised for their
services. Mr.. PinchbecL was to pay
$4,000 of this sum in the event that
Concord won the contest. Concord
having lost-the men voting their
wages out of their hands-there was
no money for them Forthcoming. I'M
mediately upon collecting the price
of his treachery from Col. Dingle,
Col. Keever's plan was to give
Amityville a wide berth.
Lumber and hardware bills were
also due on account of the court
house. Young Herbert must shout
der these and, to the end that I'M
pleasant questions might be avoided,
Col. Keever had begun his prepara-
lions for shaking the dust of Con-
cord from his feet as early as Tues
day night.
1t was his desire to depart secret
ly, but on opening the front door of
his office he found Christopher Waf.
he seated on the stairs. Softly clos
ing the door, the Colonel sought exit
81
he came upon William Comfort. The
Colonel, smothering his wrath, re-
turned to the sanctum and waited.
Then he tried again, only to discover
that the siege had not been raised.
During the entire night the editor
made essays at intervals of an hour
or so, but was each time baked by
the blockading forces. There was
nothing for it but to remain where
he was and brazen the matter
through.
Morning came and found the
Colonel asleep in his chair. A COM
motion outside caused him to move
restlessly. What was it he heard?
Excited and angry cries, sharp
voice haranguing a mob, an uproar
as of men enraged? His faculties
were blunted by his vigil of the
night. He could not reason from
point to point and draw proper in
ferences. With stertorous sigh he
changed his position in the chair and
slept on.
A few moments more and the out
side stairs echoed with wild clatter
of ascending feet. The door was
burst open and the Colonel started
forward, aroused and apprehensivc
Lemuel Bilkins was before him,
ulous with fear.
"Run, COLONEL" gasped Billlins;"
for heavens sake, run!''
The Colonel's pudgy face went
white in flash.

demanded, starting to his feet.

The Colonel fell over against the
partition with a hollow groan. Now
he knew what had become of that
document, and where his $50 had
gone!
at that instant clamorous shouts,
drawing nearer and nearer, were
heard without; swift feet assembled

Harvest Hands Robbed.

Harvest hands returning from the

are being robbed wholesale on their
way to Sioux City. Three holdups were
reported to the police in Sioux CITY.
George Delaney was knocked down and
robbed of $50 near the Northwestern
depot in broad daylight. Louis Dorne,
a Sioux City man, was robbed by a
stranger he had taken to bed with him.

know. Harmony carries the day, and
the deciding votes come from Con-
cord itself. Five, Betty! We have a
majority of five! Here, read this
telegram"
The squire threw himself into a
chair and Guy turned mechanically
toward Betty. She had taken the
message from her fathers hand and
now read as follows:
Concord casts 20 votes for Har-
mony. Conservative estimate gives
you five majority. Riot here. Town
in a turmoil. Hard to tell what will
happen. BIGGS.'
"Hurrah!" cried the excited Miss
Pinkney, waving her handkerchief.
"Where in the world did those 20
Harmony votes come from?" asked
Miss Betty.
Her father pursed up his lips,
looked at the ceiling and twirled his
thumbs.
"Victory is perched on our ban
ners, Betty" he observed, finally. 81
don't know how it got there any
more than you do, but what's the
odds?"
What's the odds? That is plainly
what Miss Betty thought, for the mo-
ment.
"Now what do you think, Mr.. Her
bert?" she asked, turning on the
amazed young man and shaking the
telegram before his eyes.
II think I shall have to return the
congratulations which you gave me
few moments ago." laughed Guy.
Not only that, but 1 think, too, that
I shall have to return to Concord at
once"
ooh, mol" said Miss Betty.
1T would be suicidal" declared
the squire. Didn't you hear the
message? Riot here-town in tur-
moil.' Don't go back there until
matters quiet down.
"They could spare me in case of
victory" said Guy, "but it's cow
ardly to remain away in time of de-
feat. I must go Immediately. Per
haps Barney will take me?"
"I'll take you myself if you're
bound to CO." answered the squire,
promptly. ct don't want to persuade
you against your convictions, you
know, and I have the greatest re-
spect for your courage, but really
I'm afraid you'll be in some danger
if you go over there just at pres
ent. Wait till morning, anyway"
mo, squire" returned Guy, firmly.
II must go tonight
And go he did, needless alike of
the protestations of Miss Betty and
| her father.
| AS he and the squire Travelled
quickly out of Concord, bells were
ringing, horns were blowing, guns
were firing and the JOY was spon-
taneous and unconfned.
When the travellers first glimpsed
the twinkling lights of Concord they
likewise discovered blot of shadow
lowering in the road directly ahead.
On drawing nearer, the blot was re-
solved into a horse and carriage with
man in Silhouette on the carriage
seat. The rig was at standstill and
looked most ominous.
why, it's Pettibone!" exclaimed
Guy, as they came in line to pass.
He had recognized the high stopper
