IN SHOOTING ARRAY
Drunken Brawl at Nevada Results in
One Young Man Being shot-WiII
Come Before Grand Jury.

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada Nov. s.-What may vet
prove to be serious shooting ARRAY
took place here Saturday night during
a drunken brawl, and while the man
who is shot is still able to be around.
there is ball from a 32-caliber revolt
yer lodged in the back of his neck,
which may give him trouble. Worley
Hardesty, a one-legged boy about 81
years of age, and who has been a
source of considerable trouble to the
city police, went over to Boone Satur-
day and came home on No. 6, loaded to
the brim with booze. In local res
taurant he met Dave Earwicker, an
other young man of the town, who was
also under the influence of liquor. The
boys left the eating house together
about midnight and shortly afterwards
three shots were heard, An investiga-
ton by the police showed that Hard
esty had shot Earwicker, the ball hav-
ing passed thru the lower part of his
left ear and lodged in the muscle on the
side of the neck. Hardesty was placed
under Arrest and Monday morning sem
fenced to serve thirty days In Jail for
carrying concealed weapons. The mat
ter will be brought to the attention of
the grand Jury, which convenes here
again Wednesday. and an effort will
be made to have him indicted on q
more serious charge.
Just what occurred from the time
the boys left the restaurant together
until the shooting occurred there Is In
considerable doubt, and it is thought
that Earwicker may possibly refuse to
testify again Hardesty when the time
comes, altho as yet he refuses to make
any statement of the case or to say
what he will do. His wounds do not
appear serious at this time but few
DAYS may develop a more serious as
pect of the affair than is now antici-
mated.

masked men and some 500 OF the COM
panys money taken from the till and
the agent, Mark Kenyon and Car In

money while at the same time they
compelled the occupants Of the station

quietly until they had accomplished
their work. On leaving the depot they
backed away and threatened to shoot
the first man who stirred and so far
as the victims are concerned appeared
to be in earnest and no resistance was
offered.
The police were called but found no
trace of the robbers.

WOMAN DIES IN BAGGAGE CAR.
Mrs. Hannah L,ssett Passes Away
whiIa En- Route to Amos,

While En- Route to Amos.
Des Moines. Nov. S.-The last wish
of Mrs. Hannah Liggett of Alpha. ILL.,,
came to a sudden and unexpected end
/ last night near Des Moines. For years
she had hoped to visit her daughter,
Mrs. C. N. Nibel, of Ames, and pass
the few remaining years Of her life
with her child. In the pathetic ait
tempt to attain her ambition, Mrs. Lg-
gett died on Rock Island passenger
train while riding between Newton and
DeS Moinas.
With her was her daughter, Mrs.
Nibel. All the tender care of daugh-
ter was being given to the aged wom-
an. Tenderly wrapped in comforts and
lying in travelling basket, she was
placed in the baggage car. Into her
veins an anesthetic was injected to
deaden the pain of travel. AS the old
woman slept her sleep Of death. the
relatives were planning comforts for
her in the new home just built in
Ames.
Just this side Of Newton, Mrs. Ni'be1
spoke to her mother.
1--WE are nearing Des Moines. moth
er; we will soon be home"
The mother had Already reached
home. A touch to her brow found the
cold clanminess of death.
When the death Of her mother was
discovered. Mrs. Nibel telegraphed to
Des Moines and an undertaker's wagon
met her. The body was removed to L.
F. Shanks undertaking rooms. It will
be shipped to Ames today, and the
funeral will take place from that city
sometime soon.
When Mrs. Liggett was placed on
the train at Geneseo, Ill.,, where she
had been in a hospital for three weeks
being treated for fractured hip, she
was given an anesthetic to deaden the
pain. The physician declared that she
would sleep all the way. Mrs. Liggett
fell to sleep shortly after she was
placed on the train and never once
awoke. It may be that THE overdose of
the opiate 41astened her death.
Mrs. Liggett fell three weeks ago
and fractured her hip. Her condition
has since been serious, and while so
afflicted formed the opinion that she
wanted to die in the home Of her
daughter.

Medical Skill of Iowa Apparently
Baffled by the Disease.
Special to Times-R Republican.
Hampton. Nov S.-1'he disease COM
monty known as pink eye" has, within
the past year. been the cause of blind
ing numberless horses in Iowa. No
cause has yet been assigned for the
disease but 1t is apparent that 1t has
baflled medical skill. One farmer I'm
Franklin county owned horse valued
at $175. The horse was afflicted with
pink eye, became blind and today is
worth $25. Cases of this kind are very
numerous.
1t Is estimated that about one third
of all the horses which are afflicted
with pink eye turn blind, the other two
thirds recover safely. The only bad
effect the disease has upon horse
which does not become blind is that
the legs Of the animal stock easily and

THIEVES ARE PERSISTENT
WHEN THEY SMELL MONEY

and bean porridge- hot with It,
That is, he's constantly feeling Of
the pocket holding the money to see
if it's there. A thief doesn't want any
more than to see man doing that.
There's a certain class of English
thieves called railers, who make a good
thing of just following up on trains
and steamers and tram cars, men and
women who have that foolish give
away-money feeling habit When a
thief knows just where the money is
in the rafment of the person he trails,
he's got a four-in-five chance of snag-
ging it sooner or later if he is patient
and scientific, and the English railers
are both.
Plenty of Railers Here.
There are plenty of railers in this
country, too, but they are generally
grouped under the heading of hotel
sneaks. They trail their quarry to
hotels and nail the money or jewels of
their victims by the exercise of shrewd
head work and the application of what
the Sherlock Holmes bunch would term
the process of ratiocination
There are few persons who know
how to travel with large sums of mon
ey or valuable jewels without making
that fact obvious to smooth thieves.
When a prosperous, goodsy looking
man on a railroad train takes a fur
tive clutch at his breast pocket every
little while, he makes himself the east
est kind of mark either for a dip or
for hotel sneak.
It's the same with a woman carry
ing hand satchel containing her jew
els. sneak on train can infallibly
tell, after about two minutes observa-
ton, whether the hand satcheI of a
travelling woman contains her valuables
or not.

country, are, beyond a doubt, the most

snagged the satchel containing thousands
OF dollars In money and jewelry..some-
thing easy. That was one way, and the
sneak has dozens of others.
THE mistress and maid may go out to-
gether. leaving the stuff behind in the no :
tel apartment. The sneak can tell whether
that Is the case-and there is his chance.
He gets his skeleton keys in action, and
the job Is pulled off
THE mistress and maid may have the
stuff with them in satchel, one or the
other of them carrying it, or taking turns;
and the sneak is right after them in that
case, from store to store, luncheon place,
theater, everywhere, waiting for the car
rier Of the bag to become forgetful. if
only for a moment, and drop it, so that
there is fair chance OF annexing it.
Flashes Duplicate.
eff no other way offers, he can get the
goods by flashing duplicate. That's how
the sneak in the case 1 have in mind
which is why | inStanced the case of the
mistress and maid travelling to California
finally got the satchel he needed.
1t happened the winter before last and
the sneak told me about it last summer
when l got him for different job The
mistress and maid were bound for Coro-
nado Beach and the sneak was right with
them from the first jump from Chicago.
But neither mistress nor maid gave him
an opening at any stage Of the route.
When they stopped off at Ell Paso the
sneak figured that they were going to be
equally cautious all the rest of the way
So he went to bag shop in Ell Paso and
got duplicate of their small alligator
handbag. He had the mistress initials
stamped in the same kind of letters OF
gilt on one side of the bag
He got into the same parlor car with
them at Ell Paso when they resumed their
journey, concealing the mate to their
handbag under his travelling coat When
the train was pulling into Los Angeles he
picked up his long travelling coat, with the
duplicate handbag concealed in it's folds
His minute had arrived.
The mistress and maid were busyine
themselves in getting their travelling gear
together, and the handbag that the sneak
wanted in his business was lying beside
the maids chair. As he passed that chain
his coat slipped from his grasp and fell
on top of that meaty handbag He stopped
to pick it up-and the job was DONE
He scientifically substituted his du-
plicate bag for the the one that he'd beer
chasing all the way from the Atlantic sea-
board, and the stuff was his. When he left
the train he had by patience and head
work, pulled off a job that Melted him
something like $4,000.
Nothing is too risky for one of these
major league sneaks when he dopes 1t out
that he has at least an eyen-money chance
