Two Stories Of Singular Coinoi.
dences that County Attorney
Vouches For.
UNIQUE IN POLICE ANNALS.
Thief Robs Two Victims Of Similar
Amounts and In Coin Of the
Same Denomination.

The case OF the state VS. b. b. Shop
ard, charged with robbery and petit
larceny. furnishes coincidence that
is decidedly unique In police annals.
Shepard was arraigned before Judge
Diehl today and pleaded not guilty
to both charges. The cases were set
for Jan a. for preliminary hearing.
Shepard is charged with stealing s35
from w. +. Reid. and s35 from Ed
Houser. In the latter case the charge
is petit larceny. In the former 1t is
robbery
Here is the coincidence;
In each case the sum stolen is s35,
The money was in similar amounts in
gold and silver.
The losers both reside at the Lincoln
house. They were absolute strangers
to each other, yet both worked for the
Bell Telephone company.
Both made their complaint to the
county attorney on the same day. They
entered the office together but did not
know each other.
Each informed the attorney that a
man named Shepard had stolen s35
shepard was in my room," said
Reid.
so also stated Houser
II am able to Identify a s. gold piece
stolen from me- said Houser,
Il lost a s. gold piece which l had
marked and can positively identify"
declared Reid,
That the two cases do not grow out
of one, is evident from the fact that
one theft occurred Thursday night and
the other happened on Saturday night
1t is alleged that Shepard robbed
Houser Saturday night, cutting the lat
ter's pocket out while he was asleep.
When arrested he had the money on
him the coin identified by Houser as
we'll as the one identified by Reid.
When the matter was brought to the
attention Of Asst. County Atty. Willard
Hanson, he at once filed the two COM
plants.
Shepard will have chance to explain
matters before Judge Diehl on Thurs
day, Jan. 4. In the meantime he VIII

Plans Being Drawn For Large
Hall Up Town For Skating
Rink and Conventions
ROOF GARDEN A POSSIBILITY
Young Business Men Will Invest Capt.
tai in Handsome Building to be Used
Exclusively fer the Public's Amuse-
ment-option on the Land on South
Second Avenue Secured.

A building project has been started
by young business men OF the city
which will result in the erection of a
new building on the property just
across the alley from the rear of the
Let's, Fletcher Company's building
which will give the city another place
of amusement, roller skating rink,
hall in which to hold conventions,
and a big dance floor.
The building, for which the plans are
now being drawn, will be at least COX
120 in ground dimensions, and will be
one story in height. 1t viii be veneer
ed with brick, and will have an orna-
mental front, facing on Second avenue,
almost directly across the street from
the Odeon theatre. An option for both
the leasing and purchase Of the land
has been secured, and it is estimated
the building will cost not less than
$1,000.
The building will be equipped with
a dance and roller skating rink floor,
without posts, stage at the rear end,
balcony for spectators and reception,
waiting, lunch and toilet rooms.
1t is the intention of those who are
behind the venture to use the building
during the winter time for roller skat-
ing, and to lease it for fairs and dances.
It will also be equipped with seats, SO
that 1t can be readily turned into Il
convention hall, and with the balcony
is to have seating capacity for at
least 1000. During the summer months
it is the intention to put on vaudeville
performances either on the stage with
in the building or, If it is deemed ad-
visable, to SO construct the roof and
equip it that it may be fitted for a
roof garden. The roof garden plan
was an after thought, and may not be
adopted until later.
It is expected to begin building very
soon, and it is believed the structure
will be ready for use within two
months

Meeting Here In May
CROKER is MADE MODERATOR
Green Mountain Pastor Presided Over

sion-Association commends Action
of Prohibitionists in Uniting Forces.

The Central Association of Congre-
has been in semi-annual session at
LaMoille during the past two days, adj
journed late Wednesday afternoon at
ter deciding upon Marshalltown as the
place for holding it's spring meeting, in
May. The spring session will begin
on the second Tuesday, and continue
two days. Rev. George Croker, pastor
of the Green Mountain church, Was
honored by being elected moderator
and his term will hold over until the
spring session to be held here. Rev
K. l.. Osgood, Of Belle Plaine, was
continued as scribe, and Rev. w. A.
Briggs. of Toledo, as registrar. Ike
latter position is elective annually and
not emi-annually. as in the cases Of
the other two.
A program for the LaMoilla me citing
had been prepared for Wednesday
night, but owing to the rainy weather.
which made the roads so bad that the
attendance was cut down on the clos
ing day, the evening program was dis
pensed with, and the work crowded into
the afternoon meeting. The report Of
the American Board meeting at Seattle,
which was given by Rev. w. E. Bovey,
of Traer, was feature of the after
noon session Wednesday, and was very
much enjoyed. The report was most
comprehensive, and dealt with many Of
the minor details, which are not ordi-
narily received by the smaller associa-
TONS
Among the resolutions that were
adopted before bringing the LaMoille
convention to a close. was one of public
interest. 1t was the approval Of the
action taken recently by the Iowa pro-
hibitionists at their Des Moines con-
vention, in uniting their forces for
better and more thorough and system7,
attic work.
The central association, while not as
large as some Of the associations OF
the state is very progressive and
wide awake, and comprises in its
membership twenty thriving churches.
The territory included in the associa-
ton embraces strip Of counties, about
two tiers in width, extending along
the line Of the Chicago & Northwest
ern railway from Luverne, ons the east,
to Ogden, on the west. ~
