Aaworth Will Not Be Shot.

Nate Haworth. formerly OF Iowa
Falls, will not be shot on Lee. IL, as
previously decreed by the courts of
Utah, but will spend the balance of his
days in prison unless pardoned. as
result of the committed sentence grant
ed by the board of pardons of Utah.
This decision is received with deep in
terest by many people in Iowa, which
was Haworth's home during boyhood
and until he attained mans estate A
big fight has been waged for years by
Haworth's friends and relatives in
Iowa endeavoring to save the life of
Haworth, which has hung in the bal
ance for four years. The case has
been in the courts of Utah since 1899,
when the crime with which this man
was accused was committed 1t is
thought by many that Haworth is in
nocent of the crime as he was convict
ed wholly on circumstantiai evidence.
1t was alleged that Haworth killed
night Waterman at Layton. Utah. in
1899 Haworth has been twice SEN
fenced to die and in each instance
chose to be shot rather than die on the
gallows.

DIVERSITY OF OPINION.

Rajnsbaruer Brothers.

There is much diversity of opinion
in Iowa over the desirability of grant
ing pardon to Frank Rainsbarger
and Nate Rainsbarger, the notorious
brothers who now have been in the
Anamosa penitentiary for over seven
teen years. and who were given life

reads like wild West tale, and it Is
pleasing to note that for the past f1f-
teen years the county has been almost
free from crime.
The crime for which the Rainsbar-
gers was found guilty was the murder
OF Enoch Johnson, who was father
in-law of Frank Rainsbarger and who
was said to be at the head of gang
of counterfeiters and who also had
life insurance in force to the amount
of $4,000. His lifeless body was
found the morning after Grover Cleve-
lands first election at the bottom of a
small hill short distance from Gift
ford, and about four miles south of
Eldora. Suspicion pointed to the
Rainsbargers and the remains were
exhumed and examined. The boys
were indicted and after being in jail
for two years and having been given
three trials they were found guilty of
murder in the first degree and SEN
fenced to Unemployment.

Children and heirs of the late ex.

have appointed DR.. j. L. Sawyer, a
son-in-law, to wind up the affairs of
the estate. A systematic search for
the instrument has been made since
the funeral, without result, and it is
now believed Drake left no will. The
absence Of such instrument cuts out
$4,000 of the $4,000 bequest made by
the late general to Drake university a
few days prior to his death. The be-
quest was made Professionally and the
letter accepting the offer reached the
Drake mansion one day too late. The

Desperate Young Criminals Behind
Bars In Chicago-QuickT Trial
Planned.

Chicago, Nov. 30.-Four of the most
desperate and reckless young men ever
produced by Chicago are behind the
bars In this city, with every prospect
that the gallows will close their ca
reers and end the car-barn episode.
Harvey Van Dine, Peter Niedermeiel
and Emil Roeski-the three who led
the police such a wild hunt Friday in
the frozen marshes of Lake county,
Ind, have told the full story of their
brief but lurid exploits as bandits.
They, with Gustav Marx, have killed
seven men within six months, besides
wounding half dozen others.
Detective Joseph Driscoll, who was
shot at the Indiana dugout in the first
battle of Friday, is struggling between
life and death at Mercy hospital. If
fortune favors him, he may live, but
the prospects are dubious. The rob.
ber's bullet passed through the alb
dominal regions.
Matthew thinner. the other detec-
tive who was shot at the dugout, is not
seriously hurt. He has painful
wound in the shoulder and slight scalp
wounds where bullets struck him.
The murderers will have immediate
trials. Assistant States Attorney
Harry Olson will conduct the prosecu-
ton, assisted by Frank Grove. 1t is
planned to take the evidence before
the grand jury at once. and the inten.
ton is to break all records for quick
trials. The state will agree only to
such reasonable delay as the law al
