HIT by STRAY BULLET.
Muscatine Man Has Marrow Escape
From Death.
to Times-Republican.


Muscatine, March 25.--A stray bull
let fired from q 22-calibre rifle, after
flying over the marshes adjacent to
tSrandview avenue along. the Milwaukee
track, finally found Judgment in the
head and face Of Fred Brazel, the driver
s,of the Home Tea Company wagon, who
was returning UP town yesterday after
.aocn at o'clock after a delivery trip
lin the south end. Mr.. Brazel had O..
marrow escape from death, and had
the. bullet struck his head squarely,
instead Of glancing, he would probably
have been killed. AS it is, he SUSTAIN
ed painful flesh wound on the side
OF the head and face.
The identity Of the one firing the
shot is a mystery. The young man
was returning up town after having,
delivered goods belonging to the Home
Tea Company to Musserville CUSTOM
ers. He had crossed the railroad tracks
at Sudbury ON Oregon street, and had
swung into Grandview avenue, when
he heard shot. He paid no attention.
A second later he heard another report
coming from the marshes along the
Milwaukee track.

Negotiations arc Successful.

Waterloo, March 25.-If plans now
contemplated are perfected the indie
pendent telephone companies In this
section Of the state may be console
dated and placed under single man
agement for the purpose of increasing
the number of subscribers and the eff
hciency of the service.
William M. Traer, Of Vinton, man
ager of the Western Telephone Jour-
nal, stated that Stanley S. Lichty, pres
ent editor of the Journal, is in Cedar
Rapids to confer with the stockholders
of the Cedar Rapids & Marion Mutual
Telephone Company, with a view to
purchasing the stock owned by the late
S. A. Dultn. If Mr.. Lichty consummates
this business proposition he will come
into possession of a majority of stock
of one of the best paying telephone
properties in the state and will become
it's manager.
Contingent upon that result 1t is
said that overtures may later be made
by Mr.. Lichty for the purpose of Sc
curing the United States Telephone
Company, which has exchanges and
toll lines not only in Waterloo, but In
a number of adjoining counties.
Another result of this merging Of I'M
dependent lines may be the removal OF
the office of the Western Telephone
Journal to Waterloo. The office is al
present located in Vinton and it is
said that under the new management,
Mr.. Lichty would be located either al
Cedar Rapids or Waterloo.

of the county's pioneers, has called
attention to the fact that the first is
sue OF the paper coming from the press
has been preserved and is now treas
ured at Eldora as an interesting relic
of pioneer journalism. The first issue
of what was then known as the Har-
din County Sentinel, came from the
press on March %, 1856. This copy was
taken by S. CT Winchester of Eldora,
where the paper was first started, ana
kept in the family until 1893, when
the widow OF Mr.. Winchester gave the
copy to Mr.. Whited to be kept in the
public library in that city. The library
trustees ordered the paper framed and
it is still in Il good state of preserva-
ton. In 1865 the Sentinel was moved
to Iowa Falls by Marcus c. Woodruff
and the name changed to the Iowa
Falls Sentinel. Mr.. Whited has copy
of the extra" that was issued by the
Sentinel on June 3, 1860, for the pur-
pose of giving an account of the ter
rible tornado that swept over the
southern part OF the county and was
very destructive to life and property.
The Sentinel has been issued con-
tinously since it's inception at Eldora
In $50. The,present editor Is s. b. Stone
rock, formerly connected with the
press at Traer. He Is planning to
f1ttingly observe the tiftieth anniver-
sary Of his paper with a special SOU
venr edition next spring. The paper
has never had permanent home, but
will enter on it's second half century
snugly settled in one of the best
equipped newspaper offices IN Iowa,
work having just been commenced on
the building that will be known as the
Sentinel Block" fine two-story stone
and brick structure in the central part
of the business district.

A NEW GRAFT
Number of Prominent Iowa City Bus
mess Men Fooled by Clever Swindle
-Modus operandi of the Game.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, March Pa clever
swindler of an entirely new type, sue
ceeded with little trouble In working
his graft on several prominent citi-
zens of Iowa City yesterday and made
his getaway before information was
filed with the local police His meth
cd of procedure was such that the men
he approached did not for moment
hesitate in supplying his temporary
needs"
The man had secured the names of
several prominent citizens in the city
and in some way had supplied him
self with cards supposed to be his own,
which showed that the last name was
the same as the name of the man he
approached, the initials only being diff
ferent Local printing offices state
that he did not have any cards printed
while in the city and it is presumed
that he carries a stock with him, made
out for lot of common names. which
are usually found in any large city.
Calling on his victim he presents
his card and states that he is from
Boston, travelling thru the west on
some business trip and that he has
only arrived in the city that day. That
he had en- expecting some mail to
reach him at this point containing
money and that he has not received
the same and he is entirely out of
funds. He then asks the man he has
approached If he has received any such
letters, as is entirely probable since
their names are the same. OF course
the victim has received no such mall
and says so.
The CRATER then expresses surprise
and some alarm at the situation find
ing himself in a city without funds,
etc, ETC., and tho in every case report
ed he never directly asked the man
for an advance to tide him over until
the "letter" arrived, he was always
advanced "a. dollar or two to carry him
over the night until he should receive
the expected draft. In one day he
visited five men who have reported to
the police How many more is not
known.
The man is about five feet ten inches
In height, dark brown hair, inclined to
be gray and curly, smooth face and
is finely dressed. He presents pleas
ing appearance, is very good CONVEX
sationalist and is far from appearing
in his real character. The local police
are investigating the matter.

pr,,,pbar. March 25.--For some
time past some of the older school boys
80 r,rt,,,gbar have been playing college
Jokes on each other until III mas cui''''
mated in an exciting lawsuit Some
,vea,ss ago the senior class In the high
school prepared a banquet ana aleer
they had placed their eatapies IN
vacant room in the school house q few
of tho iuniors broke into the room ana
carried away most Of the viands. Inns
escanade was participated in by the
sheriff's son, who Is also deputy sherlH
and the eatables were taken 10 t'ie
county Jail and devoured by the dep
uty sheriff and his pals. Inc losers
ut the banquet took the matter as
huge Joke and awaited their turn to
get revenge. Last week ut was unelF
chance, and when the juniors gave
party function at private mousse lheii
unfortunate victims carried OIL the ice
cream. Instead of passing this as
Joke the sheriff got very busy ana ar
rested several of the sons of prominent
people for petit larceny. Without the
aid of counsel or advice of parents,
three of the boys were induced to plead
guilty. The fourth one, whose father
is a lawyer was wise and stood pat.
He fought the sheriff's action and won
his case, being discharged. Much In
dignation is expressed against the
sheriff and the justice, whom many
think have worked the boys for some
fees. The justice, is said to have lat
err returned part of the costs. Public
sentiment now is greatly in favor Of
the boys.
