This is the honest truth I at times kept

SHEPPARD WAS RELEASED.
No Evidence Against Man Accused Of
kiIIjnu Arthur Meade.

Killing Arthur Meade.
Muscatine. August 14.-Bert Shep-
pard, the young Oskaloosa man ar
rested Wednesday on the charge OF
the murder of Arthur Meade at West
Liberty May 14th, was acquitted yes
terday in his preliminary hearing and
fifteen minutes later a negro, Tom
Clay. who was largely responsible for
his arrest, was ordered to leave Mus
catine by the first train.
The testimony Of Bert Jordan OF
Iowa City was conclusive evidence that
Sheppard corresponded in no partic-
ular to the man seen in Iowa City by
Officer Mac Burnett on the night pre-.
ceding the murder and who the ofic-
ers are sure committed the crime.
Clay, who was just released from
the Johnson county jail. where he
served a sentence for crushing mans
skull, led Sheriff Hoffer and Officer
Mac Burnett to believe that the man
who had been seen by them was in
Muscatine.
Coming here Wednesday he pointed
out Sheppard. He also claimed to have
other evidence at hand. Accordingly
Sheppard was arrested. Following the
Oskaloosa mans release the indigna-
ton against Clay was so intense Coun-
ty Attorney Ingham, Sheriff Sweart
and Justice Eversmeyer called him
up and gave him until the next train
to leave town. He left. Clay is de-
tective who figured in the cases
against saloonkeepers here ten years
ago when the Mahin house was blown
up with dynamite. Sheppard left
town and it is believed he did not re.
turn to Oskaloosa.

MOB THREATENS kUNkLE
Sheriff Mattern Is Appealed to For
Aid, But Can Do Nothing.

Aid, But Can Do Nothing.
Des Moines, August 15.-Sheriff
Mattern has been notified that dele
cation of Infatuated Polk City towns
people waited upon Henry Kunkle
early in the week and served peremp-
tory notice on him that he must leave,
with his family, before Saturday night.
Kunkle has appealed to the court
authorities for protection and assis-
lance.
Mr. Kunkle is the step.father of the
notorious LaSalle boys. one of whom
Polk City mob threatened to lynch
when he was captured month ago.
This one, Fred LaSalle, is now in Jail.
having been bound over to the grand
jury on three charges Of stealing from
Polk City neighbors. His brother,
VIM. LaSalle, is in Jail on five-year
sentence, imposed by Judge Howe at
the last term Of court.
Mr.. Kunkle's own sons, Charles and
Henry, were arrested and indicted at
the last term of court, along with VIM.
LaSalle and Frank Cook. for the Polk
City burglaries. The Kunkles were
acquitted and freed, however.
Mr.. Kunkle claims that he is being
prosecuted by the Polk City people be-
cause of his step-sons and says he can
not move away so peremptorily as he
was ordered. He claims about twenty
masked men came to his home and
ordered him to move before the week
ended, but did not threaten any fatal
consequences II he did not go. He
reported the matter to his attorney,
o. M. Brockett, who in turn notified
Sheriff Mattern.

HAPPENINGS IN

What Has Been Going on
During the Past !
Week.
REPORTED SALE OF C. G. W.
Road Said to Have Gone Into Hands
of Milwaukee and NJ, X. & t.
Move Would Be of Great Import
ance in Railroad World.

Des Moines, August F.-According
TO the latest reports, the Great West
ern has been sold to the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul and the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas systems. The story
emanates from Chicago, where rumors
have been rife concerning the Great
Western for several days, owing to
the fact that President Stickney admit
ted that he was negotiating with the
Gould systems for the sale of his prop
erty. The new story is regarded by
many as very plausible, as it will en-
able the combined systems to turn the
traffice to the south, where, in prob
ability, will be established the great
seaport of the future.
1t is claimed in railroad circles that
President Stickney is anxious to dis
pose of the road This is said to be
the cause of the rate cutting which
he has been doing the past few years.
BY slicing the rates, 1t is alleged that
he has endeavored to force the lines
which are in competition with him to
form a pool and purchase the road.
