him to the city Jail where later he was
arraigned and fined for drunkenness.
When searched at the Jail. Mallon
discovered that he was minus a pock-
etbook containing $3.50, which repre-
scented his savings for several months.
He informed the officers Of his loss
and gave such evidence as he possessed
Of the manner in which the money had
disappeared. He stated that he had
been having a little social time with
some new acquaintance and that some
drug must have been administered him
after which he was relieved of his
cash.
The police officers set to work on the
case and within few hours arrested
couple of suspects. They had their
hearing. but owing to the absence of
sufficient evidence the men were freed.
Another person was arrested, and
charged with being an accomplice in
the affair. The fellow admitted being
with Mallon during the early part of
the evening, but denied all knowledge
of the missing money.

John Murphy Killed hv an Unknown
Assaiiant Sunday Morning.
]. Keokuk, Nov. 29.--Within two blocks
of the police station on Sunday morn
ing at $3.50 o'clock, John Murphy was
mysteriously murdered and the perpe-
traitor Of the deed Is not yet found.
Murphy left his home on the canal at
6 o'clock and was coming down to a
saloon where he is employed, to clean
up. On the corner Of Sixth and Con-
cert streets, he was met by an unknown
man who fired one shot, which proved
fatal, the bullet entering the mans
body near the brest bone.
The murderer then fed and was seen
by several residents of the neighbor-
hood, but 1t was too dark to make out
his features. Murphy walked a half
block to Sinton's stable where the
night Waterman met him at the door.
The wounded man said: II have been
shot" and then fell over backwards
to the pavement.
The police were notified and he was
taken to the station, expiring there
without saying anything Daleys blood
hounds were brought down town but
not until many people had passed the
scene and the hounds We're not used.
The dead man worked around the
saloons Of the city and was an inof-
fensive, harmless man, who had no
enemies. There seems no reason what
ever for his murder.

Special to Times-Kepublican
Spencer, Nov. ga long agitated
and deferred settlement has finally
reached the courts. w. M. Fields, OF
this place, has brought suit thru q
prominent attorney in Des Moines,
against the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul Railway Company, to recover
$4,000 as damages for injuries to his
person in the Abel wreck. 1t will be
remembered that on Dec. 16, 1903. two
freight trains collided near Abel, the
cause of which was later found to be
the failure of the operator at Abel to
deliver his orders. Finnicum, engineer,
Walter Ward, engineer, and oscar
Over. fireman, all of Des Moines, were
killed. and many others were seriously
injured. Among the latter was Mr.
Fields. who was at that time employed
as head brakeman. He was taken from
the wreck in a serious condition and
later removed to his home in Spencer,
where for long time he was connnea
to his bed. Later he recovered suili-
GENTLY to enable him to be about WIN

The locomotive was turned loose
about 8 o'clock in the evening by an
unknown man who jumped into the
unoccupied cab as the the engine was
standing near the Rock Island round
house waiting orders. He opened wide
the throttle and then leaped off into
darkness, while the ponderous loco
motive started at full speed thru the
yards toward the river bridge. Across
the maze and tangle of switches the
engine sped without once leaving the
rails or turning from it's course, direct
to the bridge across which 1t might
have bolted into the still more intricate
Omaha yards. 1t was remarkable that
all the scores of switches were turned
so as to give the engine straight
track for it's run of three miles thru
the Union Pacific yards directly to the
Missouri river bridge.
AS soon as the employees of the ROCK
Island roundhouse saw the engine
steam away without engineer or fire.
man aboard they 'phoned the train
master of the Union Pacific yards and
had him start out a special switch en-
CINE to try and overtake the runaway.
In the meantime, however, the run
away, gave out of steam as 1T neared
the bridge and stopped of its own ac-
cord. A .switchman, who happened TO
be in that vicinity, observed the engine
without any one in the cab. Recognize
ing the danger of its position with
trains the bridge at almost any minute,
he boarded the engine, fired up ana
.hurriedly started it back to the Union
Pacific wards. before the switch crew
could overtake the runaway.
No clue has been obtainable as 10 tne
unknown man who started the engine
on its mad course further than that ne
must have been a railroader to nave
known the operation Of the throttle.
