Sentence of Leuth for Extraordinary
Crime Affirmed by lowat Court.

DES MONIES, May 6.-August
Leuth must serve ten years for one of
the most remarkable crimes in the an
nails of Iowa, as a result of the affirm
alton of his sentence by the supreme
court this morning
He was convicted on a charge of
kidnaping a wealthy farmer and his
wife, and secreting the woman in an
abandoned schoolhouse near Upton
while he sent the farmer back to the
bank to secure $4,000 for ransom.
The kidnapping took place at night,
and the farmer was to return at a des-
igna ted hour the next day. He brought
sneriffs posse with him, but could
not find the kidnaper. In the mean
time his wife had escaped from her
place of imprisonment. Leuth has
twice broken JAIL but was each time
recaptured.
The supreme court also affirmed the
ten years sentence of John Dicker-
hoff of Des Moines, who was convicted
of having enticed two respectable girls
to a resort by representing that they
were to be employed as mattresses in a
restaurant.

SHE DIED FOR LOVE.
Wealthy Chicago Widow Shoots Her.
self in New York Hotel.

NEW YORK, May 6.-Mrs. ]. w.
Gray of Chicago, widow of the broker
of that city, shot herself today in her
room at the Hotel Imperial. She died
at a hospital. Jewels and property
valued at $4,000 were found in her
room. .- The woman left four letters.
One was addressed to Charles H.
Stoneham, A Broadway and another to
Charles Sweetheart in which she
expressed her love and said she was
going to die rather than be separated
from him. Mrs Gray was a handsome
creole, a native of New Orleans. Her
husband died several years ago.
Stoneham could not be found at mis-
residence today.

CONTRACTS PRUNE CROP.
Union Fruitdrier Ties Up Cove and
Union Farmers for Five Years.

UNION, Or, May 6.-S. A. Lassalle,
of Albany, Or, owner of the Union
fruitdrier, has just closed five-year
contract with the prune growers Of
Cove and Union, whereby he agrees to
buy at $40 per ton the entire prune
crop of this session, estimated at 1900
tons per year. To aid in handling this
product, new drier will be erected at
Cove in time for this seasons crop.
and both plants will be run to their
capacity for about 40 days during the
drying season. Estimating the crop
at 14OO tons, the dried product will be
400 tons, weight being reduced two
thirds by the drying process. The
market for prunes is found principally
from Colorado eastward.
1t will be seen that the running OF
these driers will mean a revenue each
year to the growers of from $4,000 to
s1a 900. or about $50, 900 to 100000 for
the total time under contract-a period
of five years. A certainty of market
for prunes will stimulate their growth.
and it is fair to presume that at the
end of five years the yield may be even
greater than present estimates indi-

WAHNER GETS DIVORCE

On the grounds that mis- wife, Susan
Pattison, known as Susan Wahner,
had married him before obtaining a
divorce from her former husband, Will
liam Pattison, Judge Brents granted
divorce to Frank M. Wahner this
morning. Mr.. Wahner, who brought
the divorce proceedings, averred that
his wife had informed him that she
was a divorced woman, when on the
contrary she was not divorced until
several days after the marriage cere-
mony with Mr.. Wahner had been SOL
emnized at Victoria, B. c.. He discov-
cred this about three weeks ago and
Immediately brought divorce proceed
ings. Mrs. Wahner, who is in Seattle,
made no defense, and the decree was

CHICAGO, May ga heavy rain
on the spirits of the strikers and kept
the crowds moving and temporarily, at
least, gave Chicago a cessation of the
violent scenes of the past week.
Everything indicates that the striking
teamsters realize that the employers
are we'll situated with the unusual
protection afforded them by extra po-
licemen and sheriff's deputies and that
they have good prospects of bringing
the hauling business back to some
thing like normal conditions with the
aid of imported strike breakers.
The Federation of Labor meeting
Sunday afternoon is expected carefully
to canvas the probabilities of making
concessions that will end the trouble.
Meantime a new move to bring about
arbitration will probably be started to-
day by union leaders, although the eX-
act form it will take is unknown.
Both the police department and the
sheriffs office swore in additional men
this morning although Sheriff Barrett
declares that he has the situation we'll
in hand and there is no likelihood that
troops win be needed. Three men, said
to be strikers, were arrested early this
morning for an attack on a United
States express wagon.
The employers association has de-
cided that thousands of trusted en-
ployes of boycotted department stores
and wholesale houses shall be sworn
in as deputy sheriffs and be placed in
wagons to act as escorts to drivers.
The employers association this morn
ing reports having 1900 wagons in SER

vice, which will be increased Monday
to 5000.
Thirty-three teamsters of wholesale
grocery houses went out today. This
line of business is severely crippled by
the strike. A strike of tugmen in SYM
pathy with the teamsters began to-
day. The river traffic of the Peabody
Coal company and other concerns is in
terrupted. The officials are consider
ing making the strike of tugmen gen.
eral. President Dold of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, said today that
the unions are in no need of outside
help to conduct the struggle and that
no plans for general strike would be
considered. In a statement today
President Shea of the teamsters' union
declared that the large firms are doing
not more than 10 per cent of their or
dinary business owing to their inabil-
ity to secure competent help. He re-
iterated the offer of the unions to sub
nit the difficulty to arbitration.
1t was learned this afternoon that
labor leaders believe the settlement
of the strike is near at hand. Mayor
Dunno was engaged early this after
noon in steps toward peace. The ma
ture Of the proposed settlement and
tb. n, atbo5c aypactaJ to bripo II about
are kept secret.
This afternoon Presidents Dold and
Shea telegraphed Governor Deneen re-
questing him to appoint a commission
consisting of one representative of
labor; one of the employers and a third
appointed by the governor to adjudi-
cate the strike issue, the decision to
be final.

is MEEKER DEAD OR ALIVE?
Minnesota Son, Who Attended Funeral
Is Amazed by Eastern Story.

CLEVELAND, May 6.-An investi-
cation is afoot to determine whether
the body of an annotated old man
which was found in a lumber yard in
this city three weeks ago and buried
in Batavia, ILL.,, is that of Martin Meek
err the one time millionaire of FARM
ington, Mimi, or of an unidentified
tramp.
Attorney Bouden of Frankfort, Ind.
has been in the city for a week at work
on the case. He declares he can prove
that the body is not that of Meeker:
that Meeker is either travelling in Eu-
rope or confined in a sanatorium
somewhere in the west.
Martin Meeker disappeared Is
months ago. His wife has been dead
years, and it is said ne became infat-
uated with a nlrse in sanatoriun
in which he was part owner at Green
wood, Ind, which friendship was not
approved of by his family.
In the clothing on the body were
found the addresses of both of Meek
er's sons, and they identified the boiy
as that of their father, although none
of Meeker's Cleveland friends could.
Meeker carried heavy life insurance.

BUSINESS coNcEIT HIS RUIN.

Friend Of DefauIter Says over-confi
denee in Ability Destroyed Him.
MILWAUKEE,, May 6.-The first au-
thentic statement in regard to the
cause Of the downfall of Frank G.
Bigelow, the defaulting bank president,
was made today by an intimate friend
of the former banker.
Bigelow's friends attributes the dis
aster to an over abundance of conf
dence in business ability, which he did
not possess.
Bigelow, his friend states, denies en-
phatically that he lost the money in
a wheat deal. This friend goes on:
'If you were to ask him how the
money was spent ne would be unable
to tell you. His affairs are in a re-
markable tangle. Considering his long
career in business it is unbelievable
that matters should be found so mex
tricably entangled
ITO my mind there is no reason to
believe that the defalcation dates back
more than a comparatively few years.
Ask him point blank he might say five
or six years. Again he might give
some other answer, for he really does
not know.
"As to his alleged defalcation from
other banks. Isn't it a bankers busi-
ness to see that it is secured? Look
ing at it from a purely business stand
point, it is impossible to steal from a
bank if the business of the bank is
safeguarded. For instance, one COM
pany in ST. Louis loaned Mr.. Bigelow
$4,000. Bigelow gave as security
stock in the First National bank worth
suppose that he meant to defraud the
ST. Louis institation. There was moth
ing about him to indicate that he did
He paid the interest regularly and, as
a matter of fact, did not intend to be
dishonest. He thought he was a finan-
cier.
He kept no books. 1 am sure I do
not know whether it indicates mental
weakness on his part. / can but re-
peat, he supposed ne was greater
business man than he was.
Just when Mr.. Bigelow began to
take the banks funds is matter 1 am
unable to determine from anything he
says When an examination Of the
bank was made last January nothing
was disclosed. For all 1 know he did
not begin until after that date.
There was an absolute lack of sys-
tenn about anything he did, so far as
his own affairs are concerned. There
was no plan such as a crook might de-
wise, no careful turning of every act
toward a common point or purpose is
to be discovered"
