Couple Wanted in Iowa.

Acting upon information in dis
patches from Blackjack, Mimi, telling
of one Plummer and a woman holding
the town of Killiher at bay, Sheriff C.
w. Jackson of Sioux City wired the
sheriff at Reveridge to arrest and hold
Plummer. Plummer was arrested at
Sioux City three years ago for rob.
berry. One night his wife, slight We
man, met him at the Jail door. She
had probably sneaked a revolver to
him. and with this he covered the
jailer. The two escaped, the woman
cutting her hair to pass as a boy and
suffering all sorts of exposure with
him. They made their way to Min
neapolis, where they were caught, be-
cause policeman noticed Mrs. Plum
mer was woman in mans clothes.
They were sent to the penitentiary
and Mrs. Plummer was shortly re-
leased to take position in Cedar
Rapids restaurant. Plummer was
later paroled. being promised the man
agement of big grocery at Anamosa.
He and his wife disappeared in two
weeks, embezzling from the man who
had been their benefactor.

Dancer for Iowa Banks,

Some of the banks of the state, do
ing business under the state laws, are
likely to get into serious trouble un-
less they come promptly to the front
and change their names. The Twenty
first general assembly made provision
that all banks known as state banks
should have the word State incorpo-
rated in the bank name, and all saw
ings banks have the word Savings"
in the name. In Iowa, bank without
the word "state" or Savings" or ma
tional' in its name has no stand
ing in law. Yet despite this, it is
found that some banks have not in
corporated the name Estate" or "sav-
lngs." A Des Moines bank that was
incorporated before the new law, and
had continued doing business as a
state bank without change of name,
some time ago undertook to execute a
trust deed, and came near losing big
deal because lawyers in another state
made inquiries, and found the bank
had changed its name, but had never
filed The papers with the state. A
number of banks have done the same
thing. But the state auditor has writ
ten all Of them, pointing out that they
IRE doing business illegally.

Farmer Kills wife and Suicides.

Brooding over an attempt to extort
$1,000 from him, Albert j. Bolks of
Sioux City finally reached the stage Of
dependency which resulted in the
tragedy near Los Angeles, CAL, last
week, when he cut his wife's throat
with a jackknife and then ended his
own life in a similar way. A year
ago when Bclks brought his family
from his thousand-acre farm in Sioux
county. Ia, to Sioux City to give his
children educational advantages, he
received letter demanding $1,000
from him. The writer threatened to
burn down the handsome buildings on
the Bolks farm unless the money was
left at a certain place by specified
time. Although officers made vigor-
GUS search for the blackmailer, no
trace of him was found. This Incl
dent, coming on the heels of trouble
in the Dutch colony of Sioux county
over religious matters, upset Mr..
Bolks greatly and he worried con-
tinually about it. He later got to COM
planning of enemies and prosecutors.
Bolks leaves land in Sioux county
worth 100000 and considerable prop
erty in Sioux City.
