Charles Graham, one Of the pioneer
business men of our town. has sold
his barber shop to Dave Robertson and
will remove with his family to his farm
in North Dakota. Charles has been in
business here for the past twenty
eight years and during that time
claims to have accommodated over a
quarter of million people in his ton
serial parlors. Had he preserved the
remains from his hahn cuts it would
have stuffed all the horse collars in
Grundy county, and the proceeds there
from would have bought the best FAC
acres Of land in the county.
The school board at it's last session
decided to submit to the voters at the
coming school election the question of
bonding the town in the sum Of $4,000
to purchase new heating plant for the
high school building. They expend an
nually about $760 for fuel to heat the
building and at times school cannot
convene because of the cold rooms. II
is thought advisable to do something
to remedy this evil, and the board in
tends to let the voters decide what ac-
ton shall be taken.

Smooth Hired Man Reduces
Wealth of Riley Ball, Who
Lives Near Ames
THIEF HAS BAD REPUTATION
Tho Only Seventeen Years Of Age,
Frank Price Was in Similar scrape
Once Before and If Proved Guilty
This Time 1t Will Go Hard With
Him.

Special to Times Republican.
Ames, Jan. 30.-Riley Ball. young
farmer residing southwest of this
place, finds that he has been the vic
tim of a smooth hired man. and as a
result is about $50 poorer than he
was a few days ago. Ball resides
with his father, NJ. F. Ball. a prosper
Gus farmer. A young fellow by the
name of Frank Price, whose parents
reside in the same neighborhood, with
the Balls, has been boarding at the
Balls this winter and choring to pay
for his board. 1t seems that one
evening this last week Riley Ball and
young Price were doing their evening
chores when Price asked Ball If the
horses running loose In a nearby
field had come up for their feed. He
said they had not whereupon Price
volunteered to so after them and re-
marked that he would take his gun
with him as he might see some game.
A couple of hours later, having not
returned, Bell made preparations to
spend the evening with one of his
neighbors. Remembering that he had
carelessly placed his pocketbook, Which
contained currency and a small check
in bureau drawer, hewent to get it but
it had disappeared. Price evidently
got the money and made good his get
away, as he has not yet returned. Ball
telephoned to the neighbors to be on
the lookout for Price, and also tele-
phoned to Boone and the surrounding
towns the next morning to arrest him
If he should show up, but he has not
been located so far.
The young lad is about seventeen
years of age and does not bear the best
of IL reputation in the neighborhood
where he was raised. Only two years
ago he got into a similar scrape and
took his leave. His father also served
notice that he would not be responsible
for any debts that he might contract.
Returning to his home he again settled
down and regained the confidence of
the people, and again betrays them.
An effort is being made to locate him
and If he should be proved guilty 1T
will likely go hard with him.
