that they had been robbed of all their
money.
Richards asked of the lady, Did you
have any money in the house,"
why, Bill Richards, you know we
did. as you saw it and knew we didn't
put it in the bank"
AS a friend of the family, Richards
was asked to take charge of the case,
and he promised to see that everything
possible was done to run the robbers to
earth.
When Baird was taken to the billiard
hall and was being attended to by the
doctors, Richards Showed up" and all
night was with the wounded man, but
never gave any intimation that he knew
him, and was again back there Tuesday
of this week and visited Hamilton and
Knoxville both, but seemed to be total
stranger to the wounded man. Still he
anxiously inquired if he had as yet CIV
en- away his confederates.
At Knoxville 1t is said that the sister
of Mr.. Sullivan. who was of the party
on the porch of the house when the door
was opened by the robbers in leaving
the place, says he is supposed to be the
only man who knew this money was In
the house except the parties interested.
and as he had no business at Hamilton
the suspicion which attaches to him is
that he planned the entire affair and
had Baird and his accomplices came on
from Creston to do the work.

AN OBJECT LESSON
In a Restaurant,

"A physician puts the query: Have
you never noticed in any large restau-
rant at lunch or dinner time the large
number of hearty, vigorous old men at
the tables; men whose ages run from
60 to so years; many of them bald and
all perhaps gray, but none of them Tee
BILE or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is so common
as to have escaped your observation or
comment, but nevertheless IT is an op-
feet lesson which means something.
II you will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating you will observe
that they are not munching bran crack
ers nor gingerly picking their way thru
menu card of neW-fangled health
foods: on the contrary, they seem to
prefer a juicy roast of beef, properly
turned loin of mutton. and even the
deadly broiled lobster is not altogether
ignored
The point of all this is that a vigor-
GUS old age depends upon good aiges,
ton and plenty of wholesome food and
not upon dieting and an endeavor 70

Creston, Jan. 12-There has been so
much local rumor as to William Rich
ards. former United States deputy
marshal. connection with the Hamilton
case, and there have been so many
versions that are merely .rumor, that
it is thought best to give the story as 1t
was given by the sheriff of Marion
county.
"Billb' Richards has brother at
Hamilton. the place where the robbery
took place, who conducts Joint" and
Richards has been visiting at this place
for the past three weeks, and was a
boarder at the house of p. Sullivan, the
man who was robbed.
About thirty minutes before the rob-
berry Richards spoke to a 15-year-old
boy staying mt the house and asked him
to go down town AMI get some oysters
saying he felt hungry for something of
that kind. They went out and when
they left the house Richards closed the
door, but did not pull it entirely shut,
leaving 1t slightly open. He aceompa-
MED the boy down town and they went
to restaurant, and while they We're
waiting Richards left the boy, telling
him he would be back IN ten minutes.
Shortly after Richards left the house
the robbers entered. and after Baird
had been shot, and While the crowd was
at the house, he showed up and asked
what was the matter, and what the
fuss was about. The woman told him

officers could arrive on the scene the
burglars were able to get away with
their booty.
Officers Rule and Laurenson were al
once detailed. and, arriving at the cor
ner of Fourth and Broadway. the form
of man running south on Fourth

traitor of the deed. Shouting to the man
to stop. the officers etarted on run
down the street.
Instead of complying with the COM
mand, the burglar turned and. pointins

only twenty feet away fired. The SHOT
fortunately went wide of its mark, and
the belligerent fugitive darted down ,ne
alley between the Boston store ana the
Van Brunt buildings.
& officer Laurensen returned the snot
inst as the man ran south on cross

officer William Rue made a shot just as

railway tracks on South Fourth and

Humboldt.
There is strong talk of fixing
small toll on the phone lines of the
rural or mutual people, extending be-
tween towns in Humboldt county. The
tolls will be just heavy enough to shut
off useless talking, as the lines are
now Kept hot with nothings that
friends send over the wire. In fact this
useless conversation shuts out business
over the wire, and many men with
important messages have to wait until
some child has killed half an hour of
tire in learning her playmate's menu
for dinner. A nominal charge for out
of town tolls. therefore, would result in
much better accommodation for the
business public.
Sioux City.
"The losses on account of the recent
windstorm in Sioux City, will probably
reach into the thousands" said Ed
ward C. Buchanan of the insurance firm
of Powell & Buchanan today. Tor
nado insurance is carried by more
people than is generally supposed ana
our companies will have their share OF
losses to pay So far we have hal
some twenty or twenty-five reports OIL
losses. Most of them are rather trivial
being largely damaged chimneys ana
waterspouts and broken windows. TIE
largest loss is at Leeds where the WIND
unroofed the Thompson Manufacturing
company engine house and blew IN
a part of the wall. The loss will prob
ably be about $1,000, possibly $l,5OO
There isn't much doubt there are q
good many more losses than have been
reported SO far. Last summer when
