HAD A CLEVER GRAFT
Roy Woods, of Cedar Falls, Worked
Sympathetic Women.

Cedar Falls June 27.--Roy Woods,
a Cedar Falls youth OF il or IS, has
boon committed to the county Jail on
a thirty days sentence, az the result
of too successfully working an ingen.
ious graft. Roy obtained some cheap
jewellery Of deceptive appearance and
secured money by pledging it as Sc,
curity with sympathetic women to
whom he told his tale OF woe. The
story which he told was that his
father had died in Michigan leaving
his mother lone widow in that far
off state and that he wanted to reach
home TO be a comfort to her, and help
in her support. He waa without any
means, but had with him his mothers
wedding ring when she had given
him to wear when he left home. He
would not sell the ring for any price
but was willing to leave az security
for the small lean which he needed TO
go ON his way TO mingle his tears with
those Of his lovely mother in Michi-
gan. Roy explained that he could
easily sell the ring at any jewelers.
for the value Of the gold 1t contained,
but he was unwilling to do this as
they wcuId not permit him to redeem
1t.
So skillfuIIy did Roy tell his story
that he moved one Cedar Pail woman
TO tears and she let him have three
dollars, all the money she had in the
house, on the security Of the ring
which was worth about as many cents.
After the boy had gone the good
woman sat down and wrote letter TO
the Michigan mother whose name and
address she had secured, telling OF
the meeting with the Iatter's son and
of the writer's deep sympathy for the
lone Michigan widow in her sore
affection. The letter also gave the
assurance that the wedding ring
would be safely kept until the owner
was ready TO redeem II,
This letter was returned to the
writer, endorsed mo such person at
this office" 4 few days later she
saw the orphan boy in a street car
and took steps 10 secure his arrest.

THE MILLS OF JUSTICE
Troubles Of People Sifted Through
Court Hoppers.

There was a big bunch of business
in the mayors and justices courts
this morning. About dozen persons
were arrested last evening by the POI
lice for drunkenness, "can rushing,
and generally disorderly conduct. Va.
rious degrees of punishment were all
lotted to them. Some Of them were
sent to Jail and others were turned
loose One of them, woman, was
found at her home on West Second
avenue, in a drunken condition, and
was greatly disturbing the neighbors.,
She was brought before Judge Pres
ton this morning who sent her back
to the mayor, 1t is mighty probable
that she viii be sent to the inebriate
asylum at Mt. Pleasant.
Muchly Mixed Affair.
Esquire Stanley was all busy this
morning and part of last night.
About one o'clock this morning he
was awakened by a man who gave the
name Of Charles Smith and said he
was working on the steel shovel gang
on the Iowa Central. He had got in
to a place on West High avenue above
the Furstenburg saloon and while
there had been robbed of his money
which amounted to about five dollars.
The squire issued a warrant for some
Of the inmates of the place which he
told Smith to give to the police at the
mayors Office. The police had been
called out when he got there and he
wandered down West High avenue TO
the Reel drug store, where some one
managed to get hold of the warrant.
Officer Joe Fisher finally secured it,
but thinking it to be a false warrant,
arrested Smith and brought him be-
fore the squire this morning. 1t had
become rather a mixed affair all
around and it took some explaining 70
clear things up. Smith was finally
released.
Adultery Charged.
Information was filed before Squire
Stanley this morning by Walter
Mitchell, charging his wife, Mrs. Mary
Mitchell, and Geo. Fishburn with adul-
terry. Both were among the number
who were arrested last night by the
police for disorderly conduct, and
these are also to be held for this
charge. Fishburn is no stranger to-
the police courts and has served a
term in the penitentiary. This trou-
bic has been long standing, but the
husband If the woman has always re-
fused to sign the information until TO-
day, when he was finally persuaded by
Squire Stanley and the county attor-
ney tc DO it in the interest of his
family.
Charged With Rape.
Dave Perry, Of Giyin, was arrested
yesterday by Constable Geo. Andrews
On the charge Of rape on the person.

ton was filed by Mrs. Mary Rich

Trade opened yesterday with a light
