The members of the firm of Willard,

the field of laundry soap manufactur-
Ing, and If their plans are realized they
will have soap plant in operation be-
fore the end of May. The work will be
commenced on comparatively small

pany's rendering works neal. the Mar

ing formerly occupied by the Marshall

necessary to purchase the machinery
and place the building in shape to pro-
coed. The company las, for years,
handled and rendered large quantities
of hog fat. the principal ingredient in
ordinary soap. and believing there is a
market for the staple article they will
probably discontinue the rendering
works now in operation here and at Os-
kaloosa, and instead of t!isposing of the
rendered fat to soap makers will man

WelI-known Timber Creek Farmer Ar
rested on Complaint Of Eis Wife.
Fred II. Haskell, well known ami
well-to- clio farmer of Timber Creek
township, residing four and half
miles south of the city, was before the
district court Saturday to answer to
u charge of inebriacy, preferred by his
wife. From the number of witnesses
subpoenaed it was the most important
action OF the entire thirty days term,
forty-two people having been brought
into court to appear as witnesses either
for the plaintiff or defendant. The
case appeared, to disinterested parties,
as if it might be one of spitework grow
ing out of family troubles. About a
year ago Haskell filed an information
against his wife, charging insanity.
Mrs. Haskell resisted the charge and
the commissioners did not find her a
fit subject for treatment. Now Mrs.
Haskell charges her husband with be-
ing an inebriate, and asks that he
be confined in the state hospital. At
ter hearing considerable evidence fo-
the state Judge Burnham took both
the plaintiff and defendant into cham
bers, and dismissed the action for the
time being. He feels that the trouble
can be adjusted better out of court than
in, and will take no action yet

A shooting scrape that may end In
a fatality occurred III the south par,
of the city at about o'clock this after
noon. when Thomas Ross, aged 1f
years, shot Mamie Allen, a girl only II
years old, thru the abdomen with a
80 caliber revolver. The ball entered
just below the navel and the intestines
were reptured. 1t is not thought the
girl can possibly live.
The shooting occurred at the home
Pearl Harris, colored, corner of Fifth
avenue and May street. The report of
the gun was heard by neighbors, and
Immediately following We're the
screams and means of the wounded
girl. Ross is the son of Mrs. Harris,
who is II white woman; and is him
self white. The Allen girl is also
white.
Officer Clark was notified of the
shooting shortly after its occurrence
and arrested Ross little after 2
O'Clock, locking him up in the Third
avenue station. Ross protested his in
nocence of attempting to shoot the
girl, saying that she had the gun and
he was trying to get it away from
her whel, the weapon was discharged
The girls statement substantiates it, as
she also claims the shooting was all
accident.
The victim of the bullet is a daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. James Allen, of Az
Arson street. AT 3:15 the doctors say
that they do not think she will live,

Walk-Out of Oskaloosa Yard
Men Interferes Considerably
With Freight Traffic
DISCHARGE OF MEN THE CAUSE
Because Four Men Refused to Handle
Cars Outside the Yard Limit They
Were Discharged, Which Led Others
to strike-Wase Differences Also
Said to be Partial Cause.

The Iowa Central has again become
involved in labor troubles with it's em-
ployes, this time the seat of the diff
Guilty being in the Oskaloosa yards,
where the switchmen, numbering ten or
a dozen, have walked out and Grip
pied the freight traffic to considerable
extent on the south end. The walkout
was caused by the discharge of four
switchmen who refused to go to Ex-
loosa, and bring out several loads. IN
formation at this distance Is very nea-
ger, owing to the few freight trains
that have reached this city today, and
1t is not known whether, unless settle
ment is effected, it will spread to this
city.
1t is also claimed that the switch,aen
have had in General Superintendent
Sweeney's hands for the past month OF
more scale of wages on which there
has not been an agreement. This. 1t Is
said, has had it's influence in bringing
on the strike. The immediate cause
of the trouble was the insisting of the
officers that the Oskaloosa switchmen
should go to Excelsior, when needed,
and bring from that place cars loaded
with coal. so that they could be made
into trains at Oskaloosa. This the
switchmen contend is a part of the
work that should be done by the regular
train crews, as Excelsior is outside the
yard limits.
Local representatives have been at
tempting to get satisfactory agree
ment with Mr.. Sweeney since his ar
riva: in Oskaloosa, ten days ago.
Nothing has come of the negotiations
until the strike brought matters to
focus. He has also been waited upon
by the representatives of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen and the
Order of Railway Telegraphers. who
have had grievances and who have
been occupying his time since his ar
rival.
The men discharged were Pat Leeney,
Ed. Raines. John Larkins and Bob OF
tersin, and since the trouble began the
little switching done has been accom-
plished thru the efforts of Trainmastec
Donnelly. Chief Train Dispatcher Fave,
Agent Lucy, and Superintendent Davis
himself. Already one pile-up of seven
cars and an engine has resulted. 1t Is
thought that the national officials OF
the switchmen's union will arrive IN
Oskaloosa to arbitrate the matter.
AT a late hour today TIE situation IN
Oskaloosa remains the same, with the
chances of the difficulty being adjusted.
While traffic has been interfered with
to some extent it has net been general
and both the local and thru trains nave
been got out today. 1t is now appar-
ent that the trainment and Superin-
tendent Sweeney have come far from
reaching an agreemen on the scheaule
presented. This, it is said, is the cause
for the committee, which left Oskaloosa
this morning, going to Minneapolis.
where it will interview Vice President
and General Manager Day in the hope
of securing satisfactory agreement.
