Young Falk, who is only about 10
years of age, is the son of John Falk,
an ex-policeman, living at 707 South
Seventh avenue, He was formerly en-
ployed as a bell boy at the Pilgrim.
Wikle is about 10 years Of age, and is
the son of Jacob Wikle, of 40S Arson
street. 1t is alleged that both of the
young men left the city the next morn
ing after the robbery occurred, and only
returned few days ago. Jensen swore
out an information in Justice Clark's
court on June Is. and the warrants
were issued when it was known that
the defendants in the informations had

Story of the crime.
The crime charged against Falk and
W1kle IS a serious one, anu WAS HOlH-
ing more or less than highway robbery.
Wikle Is alleged to have been with Jen-
sen when the hold-up occurred, near
the corner of Third avenue and Arson
street, and only within a block of Jen-
sens home. Jensen is molder by
trade and had just drawn his money.
He claims to have been walking south
with Wikle on his way home, when a
masked man stepped out from a dark
corner, thrust a gun in his face, and
demanded his money, which he secur-
ed. Wikle is alleged to have run away
while Falk, who is alleged to have ac-
tually done the work, covered Jensen
with his revolver and made him walk
away from him. Jensen claims to have
suspected Wikle in the affair, and to
have recognized Falk by his voice. At
any rate he was so positive in his sup
positions, that he filed the information
that has led to the arrests.
The news of the arrests will cause a
sensation in the south part of town,
where the young men reside, as each
is we'll known.

in turn would not depart for Minneap-
oils. He left this morning for Elan
dreau, S. d., to re-enter school. Pres
ident Peckham believes some of the
players put the idea into House
head, that he should demand portion
of the purchase money. House would
have received an increase of $50
month in wages, had he gone, with
chance for an increase next year, had
he made good" After securing him
such an increase in wages, as would
have resulted thru the transaction,
the local officials were not inclined to
divide the proceeds with him. War
ncr was telegraphed, as House will be

perhaps be able to sooth the Indians

Mr.. P. S. Ba1ch tells Of an incident
connected with his trip to the st. Louis

rons of the Marshalltown schools. In
the Education and Social Science
building, are shown the school exhib-
its of the United States. While Mr..
Balch was looking at the work from his
own town a party Of thirty or forty
school teachers from New York state
and Massachusetts came in.
"why! can they do such work out in
Iowa?" asked one.
Look here, girls. Did you ever see
such work? We don't do anything like
this in our Schools" cried another.
Girls. come and see this Marshall
town exhibit" called a third.
Then a fourth one spoke UP saying:
"Why. I've got friends out in Iowa, at
Davenport. Let's see what their schools
do
They all hunted up Davenports ex-
hibit, but were disappointed, and came
back saying. "They don't seem to do
this work anywhere in Iowa except at
Marshalhown."
The whole party then stopped and
examined several Of the themes. When
Mr.. Balch moved on two Of these
teachers, whom he noticed especially,
were looking thru the themes prepar-
ed by Miss Erma Wallace and Miss
Amy Wells. But the interesting cli-
max Of the incident was that twice dur,
ing that same afternoon In other parts
of the grounds, he overheard other
groups Of teachers urging their friends
to See that Iowa exhibit from some
town called Marshalltown.'

WARNS FRUIT SELLERS.
City Physician Lierle Forbids the Sal
of OuerrinA Fruit

City Physician Lierle Forbids the Sale
of Overripe Fruit.
Notice of warning has been served
on all of the retail fruit dealers of the
city by City Physician f. p. Lierle,
that they abstain from selling over
ripe fruit of any kind. This action is
in accordance with q law passed by
the last general assembly, which for
bid this practice, which has been a
very common one in other cities as
we'll as Marshalltown. It's purpose is
to prevent intestinal troubles, due to
the eating of over-ripe fruit, which
are especially prevalent at this seas
on of the year. The custom OF the
fruit dealers of this city has been that
when fruit becomes overripe to dis
pose of it at bargain counter prices.
This is the practice that it is desired
to stop.
