Des Moines. July 29-Superintend-
ent Rother Of the school for the deaf,

ton Of the deaf be made compulsory,

that compulsory education is more
important in the case of deaf persons
than those Of normal faculties, and
it is a matter Of economy to taxpayers
as well to have them all made self

young men who in company with
George Shines OF Adair. had visited his

Ackles' wife. The two injured men

from their wounds. Ackles, his wife
and Shines, are lodged in cells, the first
two charged with attempt to murder.
and Sines held as witness and pos
sible participant in the ARRAY.
Maher has a hole in his abdomen,
while Allen was hit three times, one
ball striking his breast bone, one ms
shoulder and the third entering ms
chest in the heart region. This last IS
the serious wound, but neither It nor
the wound in Makers abdomen have
been probed to ascertain the extent OF
the injuries.
S;nes came to town Monday after
noon from Dexter. and according 10 ms
statement, met Maher and Allen foI
the first time that night. They drank
together and then repaired to the
Ackles home, which has recently come
under suspicion as not a proper place
A dispute arose between the three
young men over question OF money,
and while the woman was begging
diem to leave and cease their disputa'
lions, her husband appeared from an
inner room and fired the shots which
may cost two lives. He claims he fired
in self defense. that Maher and Allen
made an attack upon him. and the two
wounded boys have not yet been able
to give An account of the story from
their view point. The suspicion exists
that Ackles has been aware OF the
many visitors who have freQuented his
home, indeed he has been on the prem
ises although not in sight upon sucf
occasions. What constrained him t,
shoot Is = mystery, as his victims
were not armed, and are not oad

ELECTRIC ROAD FOR GREENFIELD
cherry's Abandoned Survey May be
Used.

Des Moines, July 31.-Announce
ment has been made by railroad at
torneys this morning that Chicago cap
ital was being interested behind q
scheme for using the old Cherry sur
vey of the Des Moines & Southern,
which the Rock Island has abandoned
after its purchase from F. w. Cherry
through Stickney and the c. B. & q.
A company is now said to be form
ing for the purpose Of building line
of electric railroad from Winterset to
Greenfield via the western route,
located and purchased by F. w.
Cherry. The company, it is said, pro-
poses to build the railroad at once,
connecting with the new branch OF
the Des Moines Interurban railway
company at Winterset. The proposal
is to operate the two lines in con.
junction, having a direct electric con-
nection from Des Moines with Win
terset and Greenfield.
There are twenty-six or twenty
seven miles of road to build. The
Rock Island has announced that it

vey, it was declared, ran to Green.
feld from northwesterly direction
going through the townships Of Doug
las, Jackson, Harrison and Grove. This
line was declared by the Rock Island
officials to run too close to its main
Omaha line to tap fresh territory.
Accordingly, after buying the right
of way, the Rock Island decided to
use about eight miles of 1t running
west along the section line from Win
terset and then abandon the remainder
Of the road at the expense OF the
right Of way which had already been
purchased. The Greenfield extension
Of the Rock Island will run more
than fifteen miles south of the main
line to Omaha.
The real truth of the purchase of
the Des Moines q Southern by the
Rock Island has just been given out.
President A. B. Stickney Of the Chi.
cago Great Western bought the road
from Promoter F w. Cherry. He
then sold it to the c. B. &. O., which
road in turn sold the line to the Rock
Island. The Chicago. Rock Island &
Pacific agents in the deal were forced
to nav a spot cash sum for the line.
