FOR RANSOM KIDNAPPING.

Conviction Secured in Such Case il.
Cedar County.
Upton, Ia, Feb. 25.-Afrer being out
all night the jury in the case of the
state of Iowa against August Leuth,
who is under indictment for kidnapping
for ransom, returned verdict of
guilty.
This is the first time. in the history Of
Iowa that a person has been tried for
kidnapping for ransom.
On the night of August l6, last, some
one went to the Telsrow farm in the
southwestern part of this county and
aroused John Telsrow and his wife from
sleep and informed them that their son.
living some eight miles from there, was
very sick and that he had come to
bring the father and mother to the
bedside of their dying son. They hur-
riedly prepared to go and accompanied
the man in his rig. About four miles
away from the Telsrow home the man
stopped, tied his team to the fence,
drew a revolver and told Mr.. Telsrow,
who is one of the wealthiest farmers
in Iowa, that he must return home and
the next night come back to that cor
ner of the road and leave $4,000, or his
wife would be killed and his houses and
barns on his farms would be burned.
He informed Mr.. Teisrow that there
would be some one to watch every
movement he made in the meantime to
see that the community was not
aroused.
The stranger then took Mrs. Telsrow
and drove four miles further on and
locked her in coal shed at country
school house while he disposed of the
team, which, it developed on the trial,
had been stolen from nearby farm.
Soon returning he forced Mrs Telsrow,
who is about 60 years of age, to accom-
pany him off of the main Travelled road

was SO overcome that she remained UNI
conscious In the cellar for some time
About 9 o'clock next morning she made
her escape from the cellar by removing
a loose stone in the wall, since which
time she has been nervous wreck.
When her captor discovered that she
had escaped he also left the place and
the defendant, August Leuth, was iden-
titled as the person who was seen leav-
ing the old house by two young boys.
and also further identified by Mrs.
Telsrow.
The defendant, August Leuth, Is
German boy 10 years OF age and has
only been in this country two years.
He has a brother living near the Tel
srow farm, who has been highly re-
spected farmer here since his arrival
in this country, some seven or eight
years ago. August, after coming to this
country, worked in the community OF
the Telsrow farm and seemed to be a
good worker as we'll as very bright
boy, having before his coming to this
country attended school at Kiel. Ger
many, and graduated at the head OF a
class of sixty-five.
The case has caused more excitement
in this part of the state than any case
ever tried in this county. 1t is the first
case of its kind tried in this state since
the passage of the kidnapping law, soon
after the Cudahy case at Omaha. Inc
nenalty is Imprisonment for life or any
term of years not less than ten.

This ID not as bad as finding a lump Of

Gold watch cases are sold by weight, and
no one can see where this lead is secreted
until the springs Of the case are taken out

These cases are made by companies who
profess to be honest but furnish the means
to the dishonest to rob the public. 1t Is
not pleasant for anyone to find that he has
lugged lump of lead in his watch case.
Another trick the makers OF spurious

lJCO.)
Most of the prairies in the United
States have ceased to exist. Man has
broken them up with orchards, for
ests and farm buildings. But in West
ern Canada the prairies still stretch
grandly from horizon to horizon as yet
unmarried by the hand of man, save
where the iron road has been laid. To
a city man there Is something deli
ciously restful about the vast grassy
solitudes.
Numerous clumps Of trees mark the
course of the Assiniboine River which
keeps in sight of the railroad for some
distance.
"Grass is one Of the notable things
about all the landscape of Western
Canada. 1t is n remarkable fact that
the entire length of the Canadian Pa
cific Railway from it's eastern termi-
nus to the Rocky Mountains is over
plains where grass grows. The sage
brush appears at some points, but
never to the exclusion Of grass There
is thus not mile of this country that
cannot be used for some agricultural
purpose for tilling or ranch
ing.
Moose Jaw is n town of over 1000
inhabitants and one of the most inn
portant places in Assiniboia, being the
center of very good farming country
point.
"Near Moose Jaw agriculture and
| ranching go hand in hand; for near
the town was seen herd of beef cat
tie several hundred in number. On
another side was seen good sized
the citizens in the town.
SIN riding over the prairies we saw
many good fields of alfalfa. The great
need of the country is timber which
grows readily where planted, as was
demonstrated by the shelter belts OF
some of the farms and the trees OF
J the residence lots in the town.
