| Reinbeck, Oct. 6.--Considerable ex-
4 element was aroused here late Satur-
day afternoon by the arrest of one OF
| the gang of burglars who robbed the
Hicks postoffice and general store las'
! Monday night, and 1t proved locally
sensational because it brought to ligh'
| the fact that one of Reinbeck's citi-
! zens had knowledge of the transaction
and had In his possession some of the
stolen goods.
Saturday afternoon Mr.. A. Innes was
| apprehe nded to be In possession OF GER
| tain knowledge regarding the burglary
| and in fact was said TO have made the
statement that hi. had some of the
stolen goods in his possession, and had
endeavored to dispose of them. With
this as a clue. Marshall Powderly went
UP to Mr.. lines house and took him in
custody, and also secured the remain
ing booty in his possession. which was
afterwards identified by Mr.. s. w.
Hicks as a portion of the property
stolen from his store.
While Marshal l'owderly was at Mr..
lines house man called and inquired
for "Scotty.' meaning Mr.. hines. He
was admitted and as soon as he got
fairly In the house was taken in charge
by Marshal Powderly upon Mr.. lines
Identification of him as one of the men
who had called at his house early
Tuesday morning and told him they
had left some goods in his Qnnes)
barn near the c.. Gil. w. stockyards, and
that they would be back in few days
after them. This worked out to the
advantage of the law, as he happened
to call just at a time when there was
an officer present, as above noted.
Mr. lines stated that he had
brought the goods from the barn to the
house because he was afraid the mice
would destroy them. But from all APP
pearances it was his intention to act
as a distributing agent for the burglars
and hal not only knowledge of the fact
that the goods were stolen, but was
AIDING In their disposition. This fea-
ture Of, the case came as a sort of
shock to most VI our people, as Mr..
Innes Ia well-knovn here.
Sheriff Law, of Blackhawk county,
came over Sunday morning and took
the captured burglar to Waterloo to
await action of the law. and as the
evidence is strong against him 1t Is
likely he will syet what he deserves.
Mr. Innes was not taken to Waterloo
until Monday to appear against the
captured burglar at his preliminary
hearing While 1t Is admittedly a
grave offense and serious predica-
ment for Mr.. Innes. many here would
regret to see him suffer. as he Is an old
man, and yet his best friends cannot
find sufficient excuse for his lack OF
judgn ent in doirg an unlawful act.
The officers OF the law are hot upon
the trail OF the other burglars, and 1t is
possible that they will yet break up
this gang, who seem to have been or
gained for systematic campaign of
petty burgiaries in this section.

Cattle Under College Feeding
Experiment at Odebolt to

TEST CAREFULLY CONDUCTED
On Account Of the Large Number of

Cd the Results Should Be Fairly Re-

Being Made.
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Ames, Oct 6.-The cattle feeding
test being conducted by the animal
husbandry department of the Iowa
farms, Odebolt, Iowa, will come to an
end on Thursday. October sth, when
the cattle will be sold on the Chicago
markets by Clay, Robinson & Co.
This test is the largest of the kind ever
conducted by any college In the world,
including 500 head of cattle, divided
into ten punches of fifty head each.
The work has been carefully outlin-
ed and conducted from start to finish.
On account of the large number OF
animals in each lot and the long feed
ing period, which lasted for seven
months for two lots and over six
months for the other eight, the results
should be fairly reliable.
Three distinct lines of work have
been tested this year.
/. Acclimation test, in which fifty
head of southern cattle were under
similar conditions and on the same
kinds of feed as fifty head of northern
cattle.
q A test to determine the efficiency
of light, medium and heavy grain RAJ
tons. Three lots of fifty head each
were used for this work.
g. A test to determine the value of
supplemental foods in connection with
corn for beef production. In this con-
nection five lots of cattle were fed as
follows: Lot l, corn alone; lots2, corn
and oil meal: lot three, corn and cot
ton seed meal: lot 4 corn and buffalo
gluten feed; and lot s, on corn and
dried blood.
The results of the work are very
satisfactory on whole. The gains are
not nearly as heavy as they would
have been had the weather been more
favorable during the months OF May.
and June, when the feed lots We're very
muddy, due to the excessive rain fall
at that time.
The work has been carried on under
the direction OF Professor w. ]. Ken
nedy and the feeding OF the ar nals
has been done by Newton c. rev. a
graduate of the animal husbandry de-
partment of the Iowa Agricultural
College.
The results Will be prepared and
published In bulletin form at an early
date.
