passed him, but none offered to assist
him. Presently, however poor Samar-

wounded mans plight, helped him on
his mule and took him to an inn, where
he ordered food and drink and raiment
for the man, directing the innkeeper to
send the bin to him. And dis am a true

Tied and United.

A report comes from Luverne, a small
town In South Alabama, of a. sensational
plan of the mayor to get his vote fully
counted. 1t is said that the vote on a
certain contest stood three to two and
that the mayor, who has right to vote
OH all questions, 1t is said voted with the
two, thereby causing tie. He then pro-
ceeded to exercise the prerogative of a
presiding offer and voted off the tie.
This Is regarded as illegal and has raised
a great hue and cry, especially from the
friends of the defeated side. The mayor
of the town Is T. w. Shows. Those who
are opposed to his position threaten to
take the matter into the courts.

FARM RossED OF $500
Had Money In Pocket While Milking
and Robbers Knew X.


and Robbers Knew II.
Des Moines, Feb. 6.--Fred Snyder,
farmer residing one mile north Of
Give, was bound and gagged by two
masked men while milking at 5 O'Clock
yesterday and robbed OF about $500.
Snyder was found three hours lat.
er by a neighbor, John Milligan. He
was numb and almost unconscious
from the cold.
Snyder was attacked from the rear
and two men throwing a rope about
his neck and drawing 1t up until he
was almost choked. They then stun
ed a knotted handkerchief into his
mouth and securely bound him. His
pockets were rined, the highwaymen
getting away with the roll of money.
The money secured by the high.
waymen was the proceeds of stock
sale held by Snyder last week. The
money was deposited In a Des Moines
bank until Thursday when he drew IL
out, intending to pay some debts to-
day. Believing 1t to be more secure
In his pocket than at the house, Sny-
der went to the bureau where he
placed the roll that night. and depos-
tied it in a vest pocket. It is evident
the hold-up men knew Of the sale and
also that the money was drawn from
the bank yesterday.
Mrs. Snyder and one child were in
bed when he went out to do the
chores and did not awaken until late.
She knew nothing Of the hold-up until
Milligan came to the house bearing
her husband on his arm three hours
after the incident.

lous Charge.

from the general store by James Nc
Keen at Give, Iowa, is the first OF
the prosecutions Of violations of the
liquor laws OF this state to be set on
foot under the reorganization Of the
Anti-Saloon League forces Of Iowa.
The fact that McKeon, in whose pos
session the liquor was found, is not
only the postmaster Of the town OF
Give, but also one OF the wealthiest
residents of that part OF the county,
adds interest to the case.
Mckeon Is fifty-one years of age,
and Is one OF the most respected
citizens of Give. He is a man Of n
family and is listed as being worth
from 1000 to $4,000. Not long ago

of the Anti-Saloon League that Nc
Keen kept quantities of liquor in his
general store, which he operates in
connection with the Give postOffice,
and that he was selling 1t to minors,
the young boys of Give from four
teen to fifteen years OF age. It was
reported that this had been going on
