Iowa Falls, Feb. 17.--Constable II. j.
Barrick returned last evening from
western Nebraska, where he went with
reqlsltion papers to bring Ruby Good
man back to this county to answer the
charge of larceny. Goodman is a young
man and is charged with stealing GER
tain valuables from his room mate, but
before he could be arrested he had fled
to Nebraska. Application was made TO
Governor Cummins for papers, but 1t is
thought the young man got wind of the
matter, and before the papers could be
executed took steps to place himself
beyond the grasp of the law. Mr. Bar
rick went TO Savage, Neb., where Good
man was supposed to be staying with
relatives, but on arrival there nothing
could be learned of him, except that he
had gone to Onama. Inquiry there
leads to the belief that Goodman en-
listed in the United States army AMI
that, in company with seven other re-
cruits, had been sent to the state OF
Washington. A young man of the same
name and answering Goodman's de-
scription enlisted at Omaha, and it is
believed is the young man wanted
ton has been made to the army
officials for the young man, and 1t is
barely possible he may be turned over
to the civil officers to answer the crime
for which he is wanted.

and was supposed to have suicided,
having. they alleged. taken dose OF
strychnine and then cut his throat with
a razor. Before the coroners jury yes

nature was developed and they Were
at once placed under arrest. Their
hearing before Justice Rayburn yester-
day developed strong evidence of muir
der and Livix and the woman were
held without bond
Mr. and Mrs. McDaniels lived in n
house on farm reated by Lynx and
he made his home with them. For a
year or more there has been much talk
Of intimacy between LiviX and the
woman and of trouble between her and
her husband. The present arrangement
was soon to have come to an end, as
Livix had rented a tsrm near Oakland.
Livix has ALWAYS been considered an
inoffensive tho ignorant farmer. tho he
did have some trouble with his wife q
few years ago and separated from her.
Not much is known of Mrs. McDaniels
except that her parents live at Man
