Council Bluffs, Feb. 17.-Chadwick
methods were limited at in a. joking
way by attorneys engaged in the a.
Armstrong bankruptcy matter, which
is being argued before Referee Payne
in behalf of creditors who wish to be
placed on the same footing with 9TH
ers who are said to have been given
preference. The remarkable feature
of the case as developed in the argu-
ments is that creditors have claims
against the Armstrong property aggre-
eating about 100000, nearly every
cent of which was borrowed without
even the suggestion of security. The
principal contending creditors are
William Arts, oA the National Bank
of Carroll, who presents claims against
Armstrong aggregating about 100000,
and Thomas B. Mcpherson of South
Omaha who asks payment of $22,O0O,
alleged to be due him from Arm
strong.
Armstrong; financial hearing, as de-
veloped in the hearing, reads like Z
romance The heavy loans procured by
him have in some respects a hue sim
liar to the famous Chadwick transac-
tions. Alexander Armstrong was for
many years an influential and prosper
Gus farmer Of Carroll county. During
his long residence there and by his
shrewd business instincts he amassed
a large fortune, which, in the last few
years has gradually slipped from his
fingers in manner that Is a mystery
even to his most intimate friendh
Because of his vast influence and the
belief that ne was possessed of wealth
approaching the million mark. he
found no difficulty in borrowing mon
ey to cover his losses.
William Arts of the Bank OF Car
roll was one of the steadfast friends
of Mr.. Armstrong, and believed him to
be a man of unlimited means. There
fore when Armstrong applied to him
for a loan Of few thousand dollars
he had no difficulty in securing the
amount desired. Furthermore the loan
was made without security. Soon after
ward Mr. Armstrong applied to Arts
for another loan, which was likewise
given. Similar applications followed
until within a period of four years
Armstrong had borrowed from Arts up
ward of 100000. Other friends in
Iowa. Illinois, and other states were
likewise appealed to for loans, and they
too gave them without security until
Mr. Armstrong owed about 100000.

Carolina of the vintage of 1871 have
been thrown in the waste paper bas-
ketS and used to make fuel to heat the
state house Flags of the various regi-
ments of Iowa that were stuck back In
the corners about the rooms of the
adiutant's office have been hung up
on the walls making a decided change
in the appearance of the rooms. The
adjutant is thinking of recommending
to the executive council some changes
i,i the rooms and would have his own
private office where the document
room is now. This would give more
room for the documents and books and
would give access ana egress from the
private office of the adjutant without
going thru the workroom where the
stenographers and clerks are employ
ed. General Thrift is also Investigate
ing to secure a store foom for the
guard property of the state that can be
heated and where telephone commune
cation can be had with the office at the
state house. The room now occupied
is AN old store room with a stove In
one extreme end and it is impossible
to heat in cold weather. 1t is for that
reason impossible to have any work
done there in cold weather no matter
how urgent the need. Furthermore If
it is necessary to communicate with
anyone there a messenger must be dis
patched and if further communication
is necessary he may have to make the
trip several times.
The program for the Tippecanoe
Club banquet held the last of this
month will be out tomorrow. 1t has
details which have not been perfected.
The principal speakers have already
been announced.
A Jefferson, Iowa man who visited
the state house yesterday stated that
he was told that $1.50 would have to be
paid for the 124th Iowa supreme court
reports He wanted information at the
office of the secretary of state and was
referred to the secretary of the eXecu-
tive council where he learned that the
reports, according to the contract with
Flood & Company of Chicago must be
sold to anyone in Iowa who wishes
them for $1.15 a volume and must be
kept on sale in the city of Des Moines.
No one has a lawful right to charge
more than $1.15 a volume. The 124th
report is not out yet and will not be
for some little time yet. 1t is con-
sidered misfortune by some who are
interested that the reports have not
always been printed by the same firm
so that they could be secured more
easily. 1t is believed by some that the
state printer should print them the
same as the code is printed and sold
in the same way.

QUITS BLACK SPOUSE

Des Moines Justice Has Strange Cas-
to Deal With-White Woman Asks
TO be Sent to Jail to Get Away From
Negro Husband.
Des Moines, Feb. 17.-Tired of her
married life with negro husband,
Mrs. c. Arthur, white woman, pre-
scented herself to Judge Matthias yes
terday morning and teaded that she
be sent to Jail in orde. = end for her
a life which was repuisi and odious
"Do anything judge" sne said, Il
want to get away from the life have
been living. File any charge against
me and / will plead guilty Jail is bet
ter than this living death"
The police judge was up against
peculiar condition Of circumstances.
The poor woman, her once handsome
features drawn with mental pain, and
traced in tears, sat weeping in front of
him She absolutely refused to leave
without being made a prisoner, ana
the court had the charge and conVlc-
tion to furnish. Chief Jones was call
cd into the conference. To him the
woman made the same plea and FOR
tin,e If looked as if she would become
hysterical.
ri VAS finally agreed that a charge OF
vagrancy would be filed against her.
This was done and the woman plead-
cd guilty TO the charge. She asked for
thirty davs i'm Jail and got it.
TO Judge Mathis she told at length
her life.s story. She told how when
Young girl she was given all the
care and attention tender hearted
girl could ask for. how she was edu-
Gated given advantages OF culture ana
society. and had drifted from home.
Then her life became a burden. She
became engaged to. and finally mar
ried negro. a man good at hearl' pul
for whom she had no love. 1t was an
offer of home that coaxed the nome
sick girl to accept. She STOOD III aS
long as she could and yesterday took
this desperate means to relieve hefseH
from the state which was so repulslVe
to her.S
AS the woman went to Jail she stop
ped her weeping. smile came over
her face "Mr. Officer. a cell will be
heaven to me-" she said. II have been
irving for months to find some way
out of my difficulty. Now I know. l
will never again pine away waiting for
something to happen. I have waited
for q year or more to leave home and
| feel that the question is finally solv-
cd"
II was intimated at the county Jail,
where she was locked in cell. that
she would while serving her time.
start divorce proceedings to get legal
relief from her difficulty.
Judge Mathis pronounced it the most
unique case that has ever come be-
fore him. and his action yesterday in
passing sentence after the woman had
walked to the police station herself
was after a long and careful delbera-
tio..
