FIND STOLEN DRY GOODS.
Box Hidden Under Building at Fort
Dodge, Contains Plumber.

Fort Dodge, Nov. lon Sunday fore
noon, while Jerry C'Donnell, a we'll
known citizen OF Fort Dodge, was pass
ing by the old Great Western depot,
he noticed dry goods box back under
the steps leading up to the platform.
The box looked new, not being dis
colored, as though it had recently came
from the factory. His curiorsity was
aroused and he crept under the steps
and pulled the box out. One board on
the top was already displaced and thru
that opening he found the box was filled
with new dry goods.
Mr.. O'Donnell took the goods to his
home and notified the Great Western
agent of his find. He will hold the
goods for the present to see If the own
err can be found
1t looks as though the goods had
been stolen from a shipment of goods
and placed under the steps until an
easier time could be found for taking
them to some more remote hiding
place

Sensational Legal Battle, Grow
ing Out Of soule's Defalca-
ton, Commenced Today
W. II. SHERWOOD SUES BANK
Pass Book, in Which Interest on Much
Purchased Mortgage is Credited -
Will be Offered as Evidence For
PIaintiff-Mortgase and Ali the Pa
pers Held by v. A. Bisss-
Special to Times Republican


Iowa Falls, Nov. IA legal battle
that promises to bristle with sensa-
tiOnal features, was commenced in the
district court of this county today and
involves the fight for a mortage or it's
equivalent, that was sold twice by Ed
ward o. Soule, the defaulting cashier OF
the Home Savings Bank, who is now
doing time at Anamosa. This is one of
a number of cases that grew out of
Soules defalcation, involving $4,000.
and is brought by w. H. Sherwood,
we'll known farmer Of this section. He
seeks to recover from the institution of
which Soule was the trusted official.
Several years. ago, Sherwood was look
ing for a place for a little surplus
money that he had deposited in the
savings bank. hoping to increase his
interest by buying mortgage. Soule
told him he had a mortgage on some
town property in this city that he
would sell for s1,1O0. Sherwood bought
the mortgage and turned over the
N 7ney, Soule telling him he would
keep the papers in the bank safe, and
Sherwood having confidence in the in
stitution and it's officers, consented.
Soule said he would send the assign
ment for record, but it appears he did
not do so.
When the interest came due Sher-
wood called at the bank for it and the
same was credited on his passbook
which will be offered as strong evil
dence in the case. Later on, v. A.
Biggs, also of this city, sought an in
vestment OF about $1,000 and approach
ed Soule asking him If he could place
it. Soule had just what Biggs was
looking for and sold him the same
mortgage he had sold to Sherwood a
year or more previous. Biggs said he
would take the papers and accepted the
assignment, placed same on record
and now holds the mortgage and all
the papers, while Sherwood only has
his passbook to show that he ever had
any interest in the much purchased
loan. 1t is stated. however that Sher-
wood has strong corroborative evidence
that will aid him materially in estab
fishing his claim. 1t will be held that
the bank is responsible for the actions
of its officials and that the mortgage
was purchased Of the bank altho Sher-
wood has no assignment to show that
the bank ever had an interest in the

SAND LIME BRICK
A New Industry to be Started at Ell
dora That May Revolutionize the
Brick Making Industry in That Part
Of the State.

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora. Nov 1.-Brick made and laid
in the wall while you wait. fine pressed
brick cheaper than common brick and
the making Of useless sand banks into
valuable pieces of property are among
the possibilities promised by Alfred
Patterson, a brick man, of st. Paul,
who is looking up location in this
city. Attracted to this part Of Hardin
county by the numerous beds of fine
clay and sand and feeling that he has
a process whereby he can make sand
stone brick by the Ohlermacher sys-
tenn, Mr. Patterson has interested
George HI. Tolman, the veteran clay
worker of Eldora into scheme which
will revolutionize the brick business.
He claims that better brick may be
made from sand than from clay and at
a lower cost. The Eldora sand is
said to be a clean, sharp sand. free
from dirt and gravel and will make the
best kind of sand brick. BY the sys-
tenn proposed to Mr.. Tolman by Mr.
Patterson the bricks are manufacture
ed and ready to lay upon the wall
without burning. Specially designed
machinery is used to make the build
ing material from lime mixed with
common sand in proper proportions
and hardened by steam. They will have
the appearance Of fine pressed brick
and can be sold as such and yet the
price will be much cheaper than the
common ordinary mortar brick. Mr..
Tolman is very enthusiastic over the
new prospects as outlined by Mr.. Pat
terson, and will make an attempt to
organize a stock company as soon as
possible to get the new article on the
market Tests have been made which
have proven the stability and strength
of the sand brick and new innovation
in brick making and selling may soon
be expected from the county seat of
Hardin county.

Invitations written with white ink on

so indefinite that the recipients were
compelled to do a great deal of guess

guests visited several different places
before they succeeded in finding where
they were to be entertained. Finally
one of the ladies observed q strange
face looking out Of one Of the opera
house windows. Its cleaning eyes
threw light clear across the street
and the sardonic smile fairly made
them shiver. Arriving at the hail
door, they experienced some difficulty
in getting it opened. They were met
by several ghostly ushers who escorted
them to their seats, gliding swiftly
and noiselessly across the hall. The
hall was dimly lighted and strange,
unearthly faces looked down from the
ceiling and high up on the sides of the
walls. Notices rejecting upon the
usefulness of women were hanging
from the chandeliers. One of them
read: "Matrimony and Indigestion Go
Hand in Hand" Another Said: 1T
costs as much to buy shoes and hats
for our wives as it does to feed and
