Webster Defends administrator.

Editor Times Republican: 1t seems
to me that Judge Caswell was too Sc
we're in his criticism Ct the mayor, po-
lice. sheriff and grand jury in his lee
ture to young Ball Saturday for the ex-
istence of "dens of vice and iniquity''
which. to his surprise" he found ex-
listed in this city. According to the
judges own story, he elected this fact
from young Ball himself. Certainly
nothing in the evidence of the trial de-
veloped this. and doubtless these Off
GERS, to whom he alluded, are as much
surprised as he was. The judge, in his
very kindly talk to young Ball, said:
THAT after several Gays of very close
Investigation in trying to get at the,
facts. / am certain OF a very few things,
and one Is, that I am certain that you,
young Ball, are thoroughly unreliable"
and that Il have found to certainty
you will tell any story you think will
benefit yourself without any regard to
whether it be true or false. and know
that your are guilty of not only this
crime. but seven or eight like crimes, in
addition to the crime of perjury. Far
Their than this feel that / do not know
anything to certainty. And the
Judge continues, in speaking of his
crimes, to say: Il can't imagine more
de PRAYED or hardened condition Of mind
than yours"
Here is a young man utterly de-
PRAYED, a degenerate, If we are to be-
lieve what the judge says, whose word
II, al mn n
officials of having violated their oaths in
failing to perform their duties; admit
ting, too, at the same time, that he
does not know anything to a certainty
beyond the guilt of the convicted man.
In view of what the Judge says, was
not the charity extended to this de-
PRAYED young man misplaced? Should
1t not have been extended to these of1l-
GERS in discrediting tie charges against
them, as ISLANDERS AMI wholly "unrelia-
BILE" than to have thus condemned them
without a hearing upon such discredit-
able testimony? The charity was ex-
tended to this young man on account OF
his age, the judge says. For the same
and other reasons, charity should have
been extended to the officials named.
Their age in years of public confidence
demanded at least better testimony
than was given, before Judgment of con-
demnation should have been rendered
by the court.
That there is some crime in Mar
shalltown all have to admit; that there
is crime everywhere Is equally true, but
we believe there has been no period of
any great length OF time In the past
o,,artar az a century in our City when
these '.dens of vice and iniauity' were
less noticeable than at the present time.
A proof of this is evidenced by the
judges remark when he says he was
Surprised to learn ct their existence"

1.-THE Gay Lord Quex.' Dramatic Urea
for Lovers of the Artistic.

for Lovers of the Artistic.
Marshalltown theater-goers were CIV
en- q treat in the artistic comedy drama
Monday night at the Odeon. when Miss
Sylvia Lynden and her New York COM
rany appeared in Arthur Wing Pinero's
The Gay Lord QueN." Miss Lynden is
including many who have been con-
nected with some of The most prominent
theatrical organizations of the past Few
seasons. Brandon Hurst. who was Mrs.
Eiskes leading man last year, takes
the title role and his work was OF lhe
most clever and pleasing sort. Mr.
Hursts naturalness in his stage pres
ence is attained by few, and the char
acter of the gay Engl:shman, who was a
sporting man and knew IT, but was Try
ing to mend his way for pure girl ne
loved. and who was continually belHS
reminded of his past. appealed 20
the audience very fcrcibly. Miss Lyn-
den, as Sophy Eullgarney, a fashionable
manicurst. is decidedly clever, ana
reached the height of ht~' artistic talent
in the third act. in the boudo1r scene.
The scenes are intensely dramatic III
parts. and clmaxes and situations, not
usually depicted in stage life, are al
mirably done There is nothing ob1ec-
tionable in Pinero's comedy, as the
playwright terms Il. which might be
Imagined from his Iris but on the
contrary many strong lessons may be
drawn. Like Amelia Bingham's COM
pany in "a Modern Magdalen." many
were afraid of being shocked. because
of the name. remained at home and
missed a treat.

Hoes. farmers living southeast of Fer
guson. who own adjoining farms and
are uuarrelling over a boundary line.
Less than two acres of land, or TO be
specific one and seventyseven hum
dredths. are involved and the case al
ready has cost more than the value OF
the property over which the contest
ants are fighting.
one of the forties joins the town of
Ferguson, and a row of cottonwood
trees marks the present boundary line
between the farms of Mr.Handorf and
Mr. Hoes. The trees have been
standing more than forty years and
have always been recognized as the
boundary line. In 1901 Mr.. Handorf
bought the west forty from the Mil
waukee Land Company. and after his
purchase a survey was made. This
survey showed that in order to line up
certain north and south fences prop
erly, according to the survey, it would
give Mr.. Handorf one and seventy-sev-
en- hundredths acres more than what
he had always recognized as his prop
erty. and naturally Mr.. Hoes objected.
Mr. Handorf brought an action in the
district court u uulet tilie III iho wi -
Mr. Hoes disclaimed any interest in the
Handorf forty, as the boundary line
was already marked by the row Of cot
tonwood trees. Mr.. Hoes counter
claimed In that action. setting up that
the boundary line was in dispute and
that the line of cottonwood trees had
been agreed to for ten years. had been
acauiesced and adhered to by all sub
sequent owners since 1859, when set
out. In February, 1902. term OF the
district court. Judge Caswell entered a
decree establishing the boundary line
as set out in the counterclaim. or as
defined by the row of trees. in favor
of Hoes Mr. Handorf then appealed.
The property involved is worth prob
ably 500, and the litigation so ia: has
cost at least s150, and is likely. before
it is finished that much more will be
added to the costs, to be paid by the
one who is beaten.

High School Boy Protects Him
self From Hold-Up Man on
South Center Street
LANeDoN PLACE THE VICTIM
is Stopped by a Hiehwaynan Who
Demands His Watch and Grabs 1t
From His Pccket-Place Strikes His
AssaiIant Full in the Face and Re-
covers His Property.

Iangdon Place, an 1S-year-old high
school boy, demonstrated last night
that he has the proper sort of stun IN
him that goes to make up an American
trouble in being assigned to place on
the 1903 foot ball squad. Mr.. Place de-
Tended himself against a hold-up man
who attempted to rob him of his watch
and came near accomplishing his pur-
pose.
Mr. Place was going home shortly
after IL O'clock from the theater, ana
when he reached the Mineah lumber
yards, below Church on Center street, q
man slipped out from behind pile OF
shingles and accosted him roughly. de-
manding that he stop and hand over his
valuables. The highwayman did not
wait for his victim to turn over gold
watch he was wearing, and as his over
voat was unbuttoned the man was able
to see the chain. He made a grab for
1T, and succeeded in breaking the watch
from the chain. Mr.. Place was not idle
and before the robbers hand had fairly
reached his pocket he struck him a
singing blow full in the face. The
highwayman sprang back With pain
threw up his hands in an effort to guard
himself, also to sustain his balance
which he came near losing. SO sudden
was the attack. In throwing up his
hands the robber dropped the timepiece
He didn't stop to recover it, either. but
as soon as he could recover himself took
to his heels, down the alley, and was
soon out of sight in the darkness. Mr.
Place picked up his watch and contin-
ued his way home, where his badly
bruised knuckles were attended to.
While Mr.. Place does not know his
assailant. he thinks he would be able to
recognize him. even tho it was quite
dark. He was a young man, smooth
faced, and wore a thin, black overcoat
which he had buttoned up tightly
around his neck. He wore black
SLOUGH hat. Mr.. Place was none the
worse for his experience, aside from his
bruised hand

Otto Rubee Robbed.

Otto Rubee. q student of Drake Uni
versity, Des Moines. son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Rubee, of this city. was the
victim of a holdup man at Des Moines
Monday night. The Des Moines Regis
ter and Leader OF this morning says of
the escapade:
while on his way home from the
union station, where he had seen a
friend off on the train, Otto j. Rubee,
student of Drake University, who re-
sides in the vicinity of Tenth and Uni
versity avenue, was slugged and robbed
of small sum of money and gold
watch.
"Rubee says that he had just passed
Tenth and School when he heard foot
steps behind him and moment later
he received a stunning blow on his
head which sent him to the ground I'M
conscious. A silver dollar was taken
from him and 50-cent piece was over
looked by the robbers.
AS soon as Rubee recovered he went
on home and reported the occurrence to
the police. who are now on search for
the stolen property"

Cemetery Aid Society Makes A Plea 70,
Free Water-Prosress Made With
Ordinances.

Another adjourned meeting for the
further consideration of the revised
ordinances. was held by the council
Monday evening and considerable pro-
gress was made in this rather tedious
work. number of the ordinances that
had been read at previous meetings

final adoption, the rules being sus-
pended for that purpose. Those adopted
covered plumbing, sewer system, fire
department., pawn brokers and second
hand dealers and the duties Of the street
commissioners. city clerk, city solicitor

trician. and city engineer. Those COW
ering fagmen at railroad crossings, bill
posters, police department, moving
buildings and licenses were placed on
their first reading.
very urgent and decidedly fowery
petition from the Ladies Cemetry Aid
Society was presented to the council
in which they prayed for water with
out stint or meter" FOR use In the GEM
etery. Water was asked in unlimited
quantities for grass, fountain and lake,
and the promise was set forth that
should the request be granted the
graves of each of the honored body
would be kept green forever. The petit
ton was signed by the officers of the
society. Mr.. WATSON thought it was the
least the city council could do was to
give the cemetery all the water required.
Mr.. Webster favored giving them water
but thought there should be some re-
striction put on. the amount, in view of
the fact that there might come time
when the supply Of water would be
limited for the use of the city Fisher
favored the same plan. but stated the
present arrangement was that the GEM
etery was allowed 10000 gallons daily
free, all over that amount to be paid
for at the regular meter rate. The mat
ter was referred to the water works
committee. to be reported upon at the
next meeting.

Editor T.-R.: AS there are some per-
sons who are questioning the sincerity
of my intention not to be a candidate
for re- election to the Office of city clerk,
/ beg to state that positively would
decline the office if it We're rendered me
at the present or at any Increased sat-
airy that may be fixed hereafter by the
city council. I further wish to state
that at the time I made known my IN
tention 1 knew that majority of the
council would be in favor of increasing
the salary commensurate with the du-
ties of the office, so that 1t Is not be-
cause of insufficient salary that de-
cline to be a candidate. Respectfully,

MAYOR JONES ANNOUNCES.
Make. Known Officially His candi-
4 dacy az Chief Executive OF the

Hon. L. B. Jones announces today
as candidate for reelection as may
or of Marshalltown. Mr.. Jones mas
given general satisfaction during his
lincumbency, not only to the councit
with which he has worked, but to the
public at large, and there seems to be
a general inclination to give him the
customary second term without OPP
position. During the past year MIR.
Jones has been suffering from the
effects of partial paralysis, and has
been unable to meet the people az
much as he desired. yet his trouble
has in no way interfered with his Off .
cial duties, and he feels that he has
conscientiously fulfilled every obliga-
ton of his position. He will be unable
to make an aggressive personal COM
paign, but this will he unnecessary, as
his friends feel that he has looked
carefully after the city's interests, and
they will see that his reelection is
assured without any great personal
effort on his part.

MIGHT Have Boon Seriously Injured
Dr.. w. C. Payne and Mr.. Charles
Radcliff might easily have been ser'-
ously injured this morning when they
were thrown from the buggy in which
they were crossing the Iowa Contra!
tracks at Center street. The escaping
steam from on engine standing east OF
the crossing caused the horses to pc
come frightened and in pluhging
across the tracks the buggy was over
turned and it's occupants were dragged
and jolted around for some little dis
lance. The team finally tore loose from:
the vehicle and made off. Aside from
a few bruises neither of the gentlemen
was hurt.
