Chas. Schultz and VIM. Rhodes who
were arrested early Wednesday morn
ing by Officers Maloney and Sutton
in the act of stealing an iron fence
from the rear of the Ottum'wa Iron
Works, pleaded guilty to the charge Of
larceny this morning and were given
fifteen days by Police Judge Moon.
Jerry Orendorf, .Bish Hampton, Os-
car Lindquist, Walter Melduist and
Charles Holman who were held on the
charge of disturbing the peace were
discharged this morning, owing to the
fact that the principal witness, J. p.
Morlock, was out of the city.
Mrs. Eta Won Schrader, who filed
the charges against the boys was pres
ent and was instructed by the judge
to notify Mr.. Morlock to again file
charges against the alleged offenders
should he desire to prosecute the case
The disturbance occurred on the car
nival grounds last Saturday evening
when Mrs. Won Schrader alleges a
pocket book was snatched from her
hand by one of the boys and fight en-
sued when her brother-in-law tried to
recover the money.
AS Mr. Morlock was not pres

Won Schrader could not positively iden-
tify the one whom she claimed stole

Gent evidence to warrant their being
held on the charge.

NEW MERGER RUMoR.
Milwaukee and "katy" Are Believed to
Be Flirting.

Be Flirting.
Kansas City, Mo-, July Sit is be-
lieved in railroad circles that there will
be two more mergers of Kansas City
railroads before another year is done.
The Rock IslandFrisco merger is like
ly to be followed by the consolidation
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
and the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
railroad There are also promising in
dications that the Chicago and Alton
and the Kansas City Southern railroads
will be more closely united.
The Milwaukee and Katy lines are
both controlled by the Rockefellers and
the Rock Island-Frisco combined sys.
tenn is the formidable rival of the lines
now proposed to be consolidated. The
Katy" officials are working on a plan
for the road to enter Kansas City. by
extending its own tracks from Paola
Kans. The union of these two lines
would complete new north and south
system which would be formidable
rival to the Rock IsIand.Friseo COM
bination. The Rockefellers are on
friendly terms with the Missouri Pa,
cific and will join hands. with the
Goulds in an effort to keep the busi-
ness from the Rock Island Frisco and
the Santa Fe systems.

DELAY ON "CUT-OFF'
LANDSLIDE DESTROYS SHORT
SECTION OF TRACK.
Work Trains Not Yet Able
to Pass From One End of Line to the
other-Heavy Passenger Traffic on
the Burlington.

Only 1874 feet Of steel remains to be
laid to close the gap making Chicago
and Kansas connection complete on
the Milwaukee cutoff. This small gap
is located quarter of mile west OF
Grace Hill and about eight miles west
OF Washington and was caused by a
landslide that destroyed portion of
the track. A temporary bridge is be-
ing constructed and it is thought that
within three or four days work trains
will be able to pass from one end of
the line to the other.
A nmber of officials made the first
tour of inspection over the completed
portions of the line yesterday after
noon. The officials were highly pleas.
ed with the condition of the road bed.
1t is being ballasted with Cone sand
and gravel and is in fine condition
where the work is completed.
Regular Train Service.
Regular train service on schedule
time will not begin on the new track
until about September /. 1t is thought
that 1t will take that time to complete
the TASK OF properly ballasting the new
road bed. The Milwaukee, while they
WI! not receive small shipments, will
accept car loads for transportation to
points on the line during the interven-
ing time. They will not guarantee
time of delivery for the transportation
will have to be done by the work
trains.
A Productive Territory.
The local merchants are looking anx-
1ously forward to the completion of
this line. 1t is believed that it will
open up a territory that will prove
very productive not only to the retail
men, but to the jobbers and wholesal.
ers. 1t will add a number of through
passenger trains to Ottumwa's list in
addition to increasing the Importance
OF the local station and making this 4
division point on the through line be.
tween Chicago and Kansas City.
Heavy Passenger Traffic.
Burlington passenger No. 8 went
through this morning as a double
header drawn by one of the big COM
pound locomotives piloted by one of
the smaller single action engines.
There were fifteen coaches in the
train, eight of them being sleeping
cars. The passenger traffic to west
ern points is reported as being especi-
ally heavy this year. There is a great
rush into the northwest. Hundreds o.
people pass through each week destin
ed to Montana points. Many of them
are teachers going for their summer
vacation, who are taking advantage of
the reduced rates In force to western
and northwestern points always in
force at this season of the wear. MANY
settlers are also taking advantage OF
the low one-way rates offered for the
purpose OF building up new territory
in the west. The reports from the 9th.
er lines indicate that all the railroads
are reaping harvest in their passen-
ger departments.
