CoIored Man Brought Back to Des
Moines For Murder Of Two Men.
Des Moines, April 8.-"If you think
there's going to be mob, give me a
"A and I'll show a few of them the
read to heaven"
1t was Neil Matthews, charged with
the murder of two Des Moines ne
g.oes, who spoke. He is a somewhat
elderly and understood negro, and he
voiced his sentiment in favor of a
wholesale killing as he sat in a closed
carriage in company with deputy sher-
ifs who brought him from the Great
Western shop station in South Des
Moines to the Jail, thus outwitting a
mob Of thousand people who had gath
cred at the union station for his ex-
press benefit.
His passage to the Jail was due to
the quick wit of Deputy Sheriff Ness.
The failure Of Deputy Ash to arrive
with Matthews on Thursday evening
caused the officer to prepare to elude
the mob which had gathered for the
occasion. Talk of lynching had
spread somewhat and rather than run
the risk of outbreak new scheme was
resorted to.
Deputy Ash and his prisoner were
scheduled to arrive at s:45 o'clock at
the union station. This was known
generally and long before the appoint
ed time the platform was black with
people anxious to catch a glimpse of
the double murderer.
AT O'clock, Deputy Ness, with a
companion. drove in closed carriage
to the Great Western roundhouse In
South Des Moines and as the train
stopped to change engines, the prison
er was whisked from the train to the
carriage and driven at gallop to the
jail
Arrived there a crowd had collected
but was so small in numbers that no
trouble was encountered. Matthews
was rushed into the jail, where close
search was given his person and he was
assigned to a bunk in the st. Louis
cage.
Ready For Trial.
Mathews will stand trial. This he

Waverly, April S.-Just before Its
adjournment Friday the city council
of Waverly, sitting as an equalization
board, raised the assessment of Abra-
ham Simmer from $4,000 to S5D,00O.
This assessment is on moneys and
credits and Is based on farm mort
cages given in for taxation in Chick
asaw county, but in reality owned and
assessable in Waverly.
A number of years ago Abraham
Simmer executed power of attorney
to his nephew, Lipman Loser, a bank
err in Nashua, delegating to him au-
thority to control, loan and invest all
of the Simmer funds. This virtually
deprived Waverly of all income from
the noted philanthropist's immense
wealth, and has been the cause of
much local dissatisfaction.
Recently the supreme court of Iowa
handed down a decision In a similar
case holding that the place of assess
ment of moneys and credits Is at the
legal residence of the owner of the
funds. if he is resident of the state
and of sound mind. The present test
case is brought on that ground. The
matter will doubtless go to the district
and supreme courts. If the contention
Of the Waverly city council is COR

The board of supervisors, in special session, this week adopted resolutions against the ceding to Utah of our do. main north of the Colorado river. This section of country is one of the great. est mineral sections of the territory; it has thousands of acres of the richest grazing lands; vast tracts of timbe lands and the most romantic scenery on earth. The reasons given by Utah for the absorbing of that part of the county is one of the best reasons why we should retain it, and that is the great canyon of the Colorado. The ownership in toto of this great gorge is worth to us millions of dollars, if not at present, then in the future Some day trolly lines will enter the canyon from every point of interest and to know that it is our own will be worth everything. The Grand Canyon of Arizona is being advertised all oyer the world and we should never part with it. Besides the Grand Canyon there are thousands of minerature canyons within the borders of our northern strip that are worth going miles to see. Let us keep all the do. main we have and fight for more.
