Paris, March 14.-The news from

visable for the pope to try change of
air, but the weather is now so cool
that the physicians dare not let the
pope travel. AS soon as it moderates,
he will Immediately leave Rome for

Noah Bradford, one Of the noted fur
thieves of the country. is behind the
bars OF Peoria, H., jail charged by
Chief Of Police John w. Gray with the
robbery of the fur and hide store OF u
s. Fist on South Market street, Mon
day night, February ~.
The arrest OF Bradford and the To-
eating of the furs. every one Of which
has been recovered. was brought about
through the excellent work of the|
chief OF police during three weeks In
tervening since the robbery was COM
mitted
Since the night Of the robbery.
Chief Gray has been actively engaged
on the case. No trace was discovered
for several days then 1t was learned
that the furs had been taken to Abba
and from that point shipped to Peoria,
ILL.,.
There was little however, to work
upon as to the. identity of the robber.
Before word could be gotten to the Of
ficials the furs had been taken from
the Peoria freight house. A canvass
of the houses dealing in furs In the
city resulted in their discovery.
From the proprietor of the store
description of the man who sold the
furs was secured. Then began the
search to locate the man. This ended
Friday night when Bradford unex-
pectedly returned to Peoria. Chief
Gray was notified Of the arrest by tel
ephone and Saturday night Mr.. Fist
was sent to that city to identify his
goods.
Identifies Goods.
Mr.. Fist found the furs and he also
found two of the five sacks in which
the furs were packed bearing his own
name. In the lot there were rs skunk
skins, 20 opossum and red fox, valued
at about 500. Mr. Fist arrived home
entire lot with him.
RequIsitIon Papers.
Meanwhile Bradford had refused to
return to Iowa and requisition papers
were asked from Governor Cummins.
These arrived this morning and at
11:50 o'clock Sheriff j. H. Cremer, left
for Peoria to bring back the man.
A Neat Job.
Entry to the Fist store was secured
through a basement window. From the
basement the second floor was reached
through trap door. A pane Of glass
removed from an inside door gave adj
mittance to the second story where the
valuable furs are kept.
Noted Fur Thief.
Bradford is noted fur thief. He
has served two terms in the Fort
Madison penitentiary and one at Jo-
liet, Ill. He is not well known in, OF
tumwa. but Mr.. Fist recognized him
as a man whom he had noticed about
the store on one or two occasions.
:, Robbed Peoria Store.
! That Bradford is busy man was
we'll illustrated at Peoria. On the
night following the day on which he
sold the Ottumwa furs to the Peoria
dealer, the store of the Peoria dealer
was robbed Of 1913 mink skins and it
is confidently believed that Bradford is
the man who did the job. The Peoria
officers have not been able, however,
to fasten the robbery upon him.
Chief Gray is delighted with the sue
cess of his work and does not regret
the time spent on the case. He is con-
fident that Bradford will simply add
one more to the long list of bad men
safely put away for a time at least,
during his term of office.

In charge Of the local barracks, wishes
to extend her heartfelt thanks to the
people Of Ottumwa.
There are many who think that the
main work of the Salvation Army con-
sists in marching the streets to the
music of bass drum and singing and
that when the soldiers get to their
headquarters after the street service,
their work is done. This is indeed but
q small part of their work It consists
largely in the quiet, unostentatious
daily work among the poor and af-
ftcted in the slums and the tenements
where the rich rarely or never go I'M
less upon Summing expedition The
work of the Salvation Army is among
the needy and the destitute. The Sal
walton Army visits these places not to
condole and give empty sympathy, but
TO give food, clothing and fuel to help
the poor to live. If sickness is found,

provided. "a

The evangelistic meetings of the

Its work. During the past year, many

Supported by People.
The charitable work of the Salvation
army is maintained by the voluntary
donations from the citizens and espec-
tally the merchants, who quite fire.
quently give this recognition of the
great work the army is doing. And
money thus contributed is well and
honestly applied, for none but trust
worthy persons are appointed to the Of
fee, and then only after trial and
training There are organizations
which assume to be doing similar
work as that of the Salvation Army,
but these are not always to be trusted
The Salvation Army, as it is known in
Ottumwa. is nothing but branch of
the great army which has its recruits
and officers in almost every city and
village in the country, in fact through
out the world. The officers are ap-
pointed by the head officers and they
are required to render an account of
every thing done. No money con.
tributed by the people is sent away
from the city, but Is used for the re.
lief of the poor and needy here at
home. Ten per cent of the collections
made at the religious meetings is con
tributed generally to the support of
the main organization.
