Jones, of the Ft. Madison penitentiary,
says that he has one prisoner who is
under sentence of death and who will
be executed March 13 unless the SUI
preme court interferes. This prisoner
is Dick Williams, negro, who in a
drunken rage shot and killed another
man. He was tried in Mahaska coun-
ty before Judge A. R. Dewey, found
guilty and sentenced to be hung. He
has since appealed to the supreme
court. and his case will be heard some
time this month.

Williams comes from Arkansas and

fact that he went wrong is therefore

FORM NEW COMPANY.
Orders Issued for New Guard orsani.
cation at Des Mones.

A new company in the Iowa Nation
al Guard will be mustered in at Des
MOines pursuant to the orders of Adj
| jutant General Byers to fill the yacan-
cy caused by the mastering of the
company at Stuart. The company
will be known as Company of the
Fifty-fifth regiment and will be organ
lied by Glen W. Easter, now second
lieutenant of Company A, of the Fifty
fifth regiment. Mr.. Easter is we'll
known in this city, having formerly
been employed by the Phillips Fuel
Co., in the company store at Foster,
The organization of this company will
give Des Moines three military compa.
MES in the Iowa National Guard.
The company at Stuart was known
as Company H. Since it was muster
ed out, however, there has been a
shifting about of two of the guard
companies, Company F of Oskaloosa
being assigned to the Fifty-fourth reg
iment and the company at Charlton
being assigned to the Fifty-fifth regi-
ment. AS the Charlton company was
Company H in the Fiftieth, now the
Fifty-fourth regiment, it has been al
lowed to retain that letter under the
new order of things and the new COM
pany which will be organized in Des
Moines will be known as Company F,
the letter formerly used to designate
the Oskaloosa company.
The new company promises to be a
strong one. Already a list OF seventy
young men has been submitted to the
adjutant general. These will be ex-
amined by DR.. Wilbur Conkling. Leav-
ing out those that will be unable to
pass the strict physical examination,
it is expected there will be a compa-
ny of forty-five to fifty members
formed. 1t is the intention to muster
in the new company as soon as the
examinations can be held. This will
be in ten days or two weeks.
The expectation is Lieutenant East
er will be elected captain and First
Sergeant Arthur McNeal of Company
A will be chosen first lieutenant Paul
B. Leasing is slated for second lieu
tenant. Mr.. Easter is cashier at the
Slavery and has been identified with
Company A since it was organized
about a year ago. Mr.. McNeal has
had extensive guard experience. The.
new company will number several
men who saw service in the Philip
pines. Among them is Harry Brook
over, who served with the First Ne
braska regiment and was wounded in
the campaigning about Malolos. 1t
will have twenty-five men who meas
ure six feet or over.
The new company will occupy the
armory near Eighth and Walnut
streets, which since January haD
been the home OF the other two COM
panies of the guard. Some changes
will be made in Company A by the or
ganization of Company F. A new
second lieutenant will have to be elect
ed and a new first sergeant appointed.

Death of j. S. Dennison, of corydon,
Reveals Dual Life of Heretofore Re-
sPected Resident and Uncovers
Grinning Deaths Head in His Life.

Mt. Ayr, Jan. 0-(SpeciaD 1.-The
mysteries of the Dennison family are
being unfolded today in Judge Par
rish's court at Corydon. The evidence
produced makes it appear that the
late ]. S. Dennison of Corydon, who
to all appearances, was a most eXem-
plary man, living happily for thirty
four years, with his supposed wife, had
all the time, an undivorced wife living
at Viola, ILL.,. and that for twenty years
before his death in 1901 he had been
corresponding with daughter by this
wife. He left his first wife in 1865, and
in 1867 married Mrs. H. j. Smith OF
Ringgold county. They were married
in Stark county H., less than fifty
miles from where the first Mrs. Den
nison was then residing and still re
sides. Mr.. and Mrs. Dennison have
lived ever since in Ringgold and
Wayne counties. 1t will be remember
ed what a sensation was raised last
November when Otto Dennison ran
away from Lineville. leaving wife
and two small children, but taking
about $1,000 in cash which he, as adj
mlnlstrator of the estates of his foster
father, j. s.. Dennison, should have
turned over to his foster-mother, Mrs.
H. j. Dennison at Mt. Ayr. 1t is now
known that it was only after ]. S. Den
nison's death that Otto Dennison, then
twenty-eight years. old, was told for
the first time that he was the Denni-
sons child by adoption only, and not
by tie of blood The estate, which was
small, and involved. was settled at
Corydon this week. An Indictment of
