The sorter especially is being pushed
all over the west.
Useful Oil Tank
The J. n. Gibson oil tank for de-
livery wagons is another splendid
thing that is being manufactured
here, and that ought to be pushed
to the front. Mr.. Gibson has not
made any efforts to put the article
on the market, as his present capi-
tai and facilities for manufacturing
will not justify him in pushing it.
He has one man at work in his shop,
back of his grocery store, where one
tank is turned out each dav.
The oil tank fills long felt want.
There is no danger with this of mix
ing kerosene with flour or sugar

hangs underneath the wagon, and

unlimited supply of good pressed

Had at Least Thirteen Different
Wives.
Killed Most of Them-Cbanged His
Name Everytime He Married
New One.
HE ~ STILL AT LARGE YET

Chicago, Jan. 25.-Police 1nspec-
tor Shippy declared today that Jo-
ham Hoch whose wife died mystic
riously a few days ago, had married
at least thirteen women in the last
ten years. Four of them died within
short time after their marriage.
Hoch is still missing.
Henry Schwarnzara has identified
a photograph of Hoch as the likeness
Of a man who married his mother-in-
law in st. Louis in April, 1908. The
woman died a year after the mar
riage and Hoch disappeared three
days later. He left funeral bills un-
paid, so. Il Is alleged, although he
had collected insurance which he had
procured on the woman's life.
A furniture dealer on Milwaukee
avenue has informed the police that
he furnished five different flats for
Johann Hoch, each time under a
different name, and that he had a
new wife for every fiat.
The dealer told the police he
knew the women who were installed
in the first three flats died shortly
after marriage. He asked Hoch why
he changed his name every time he
married, and Hoch replied he did not
believe he could get married under
the same name every time, as many
women would object to marrying a
man who had been so many times a
widower.

In this part of the state the snow
drifted badly in railroad cuts, inter
fering seriously with traffic. Around
Marshalltown business on the Iowa
Central and Great Western is prac-
tically at standstill. Some general
conditions prevailed throughout In
diana. Navigation on the Ohio river
has been suspended. The severest
cold in several years IL reported from
Indiana and Kentucky. II is report
ed from Omaha that during the last
"a hours Nebraska has experienced
the coolest weather of the winter. At
Omaha II was ten below and eight
below at Lincoln. Reports from out
side points in Nebraska declare the
mercury was all the way from 10 to

was a high wind from the north. II
is expected the cold wave will con-
tinue over a greater part of the west
until tomorrow night.

had never drawn a pleading for the
commission company.
The opinion reads further that had
the plaintiff or attorney intimated at
the outset that they desired him TO
vacate the bench, he would have
done so. but as all preliminary mat
tiers in the case had been heard by
him, and most of the rulings were
in favor OF the plaintiff, too, he did
not feel that at this late day the
plaintiffs should take such action and
that he would oyerrule the motion
because II did not carry with 1t suf-
ficient legal backing to justify such
action on his part in vacating the
bench.
The cases are set for trial on the
eth day of the term, Tuesday, and
there remains but little preliminary
work to do before the regular trial OF
the cases, and Judge Reed will con
tinue the case by request of plaintiffs
IL is likely.
The suits resulted from a mistake
on the part of the attorney in the
original suits. Il is said, in attach
ing money belonging to the Odell
Commission Co. AT the time of the
attachment the odell Commission
Co. was not doing business with this
bank, and had been succeeded by .
corporation, "The odell Co." In
which name the money was depos-
tied, and the bank refused to honor
the attachment because Il held nc
money belonging to the Odell Com
mission Co. II was alleged that the
Gilbert 4 Arena company had an in
terest in the money OF the odell Com
mission Co. which is the reason the
money was attached.
