Willing Must Serve Time.

SDeCldl 10 llIQeS-
Waterloo, Jan. 81. G. Willing
learned Saturday in his cell at the
county Jail from the lips of c. III. Hood,
a Lacrosse Wis, lawyer, that father
and brother and all influential friends
had deserted him, and believed In their
hearts that he was guilty and merited
the impending sentence of the court.
When Willing assumed an import
ant air with the states attorneys and
informed them of his intention to keep
his mouth tightly closed in the Allen
dorf trial he cast aside the final oppor-
tunity for receiving light sentence or
escaping the penitentiary.
A motion for new trial in his case
will be argued before Judge A. S.
Blair shortly, but there is practically
but one outcome to this procedure. ex-
pected, and in consideration Of WILL
ing's most unusual behavior his SEN
tence will probably reach the limit pre-
scribed by the law.

PRESIDENT OF coE
William wiIberforce Smith Accepts
Presidency Of the Presbyterian Ed
ucationaI Institution at Cedar Rap

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Jan. 9.-The trustees
of Coe College have received the ac-
ceptance of Professor William Wilber-
force Smith, of New York City, re-
Gently called by them to the presidency
Of the college. Mr.. Smith will be un--
able, however, to take up the active
of the present school year. 1t is exceed
ingly gratifying to the board that the
work Of the college is progressing so
very satisfactorily under the efficient
management Of Acting President
Stookey. 1t is hoped that Mr.. Smith
will be able to spend some time with
the faculty and students before the
close of the year, but it is not now
expected that he will be able to as
sumo the duties of the presidency dur
ing this college year.
Prof. Smith was born and spent his
earlier years in the west. He was ed
ucated at Lafayette College, Easton,
Penn, graduating from that institu-
ton with honor. After two years spent
in special study he engaged in teach
ing and has been engaged in education
al work for nearly twenty years. He
was an instructor in the school al Law
renceville, N. j.. a school preparatory
to Princeton. He then organized the
Englewood Academy for boys at Engle-
yunn7 NJ If
teen or fifteen years. He is now head
master of the Berkeley School for boys
in New York City. He has had great
success In the administration of the aft
fairs Of these schools and bears the
highest reputation as an educator. AT
one time he spent a year or two in
business for the purpose of the better
equipping himself for the work of fit
ting young men for the active duties of
business. The trustees of the college
feel that they have secured thorough
educator and a man of experience in
the administration of college affairs.
Mr.. Smith is nephew of Rev. Rob-
ert r. Sample, d. d., now of New York
City, formerly pastor of the Westmin-
ster Presbyterian church at Minneap-
oils, Mimi, and at one time moderator
OF the General Assembly of the Presby-
terrain church of the United States. He
is son of DR.. ]. Irwin Smith, for many
years pastor Of the Presbyterian church
at Todelo, Iowa. He is man of the
highest character and culture Coe coll
lege is to be congratulated in securing
him, and 1t is safe to predict that the
college will continue the growth that
has been SO marked in the years past.

FARM HOUSE is BURNED,
Mother and Children Forced to Flee
With Seanty Clothing.
Special to Times-Republican.

sSpGCldN 10 l. IlIlcS-ISSpuOllSohs
Waterloo Jan. 9.-Driven out into
the frosty morning air onto a ground
covered with several inches of snow
where they were forced to flee with
bare. feet from any sort of covering,
diminutive legs uncovered, and the
bodies entirely free from warmth OF
underclothing, was the experience OF
four little girls at the Ernest Weber
king farm five miles northeast of Wat
erloo yesterday morning.
Following the gils came the mother,
carrying a baby in her arms, and
neither of the latter were sufficiently
clothed. Behind them cracked roar
of flames which consumed their little
home almost before the husband and
father had time to return from field
where he had gone a few minutes be-
fore.
Taken to a Neighbors.
The house and practically all of the
furnishings, of which there were few,
consisting principally of stove, cook
ing utensils, ETC., were destroyed.
few stray pieces of bed clothes were
fortunately saved from the flames, AMI
used in wrapping the children, who
stood shivering in the snow.

furniture and clothing, indicate that
the burglar injured himself, while en-
deavoring to effect an entrance to the
house. Further evidence that one OF
the murderers was hurt was found
when a blood stained handkerchief
was discovered about eight rods from
the Reed home 1t bore evidence of
having been knotted and was prob
ably used TO stop the flow of blood
of a bad cut.
Spots of blood We're found in the
pocket of a pair of trousers hanging
in the Reed house. This gives the inn
preston that the injured burglar plac-
ed his hand in the pocket in search
for valuables

Mysterious Assault on a Promi.
nent Farmer Living Between
Newton and Colfax
RECEIVED ANONYMOUS NOTE
Mysterious Stranger Attempts to Kill
Nell sIotter With Wooden Stake
Series of Peculiar Circumstances
Connected With the Case Blood
hounds Sent For.
Special to Tlmes-Republ,can.

Newton, Jan. Q. - Following a series
of mysterious incidents Nell Slotter,
farmer living between Newton and
Colfax, was assaulted by an unknown
man last night while doing chores at
his barn. About 6 o'clock Sunday eve
ming Slotter started to do the evening
work as usual and while caring for the
horses in the stable heard some one in
an adjoining part Of the building. He
went In to investigate and on entering
was knocked down with bolster stick
in the hands OF an unknown man.
Slotter drew q revolver and fired three
shots and then lapsed into uncon-
seriousness, while his assailant escap-
ed. Slotter' recovered consciousness a.
bout half an hour later and managed to
crawl to the house. He is resting easy
today and the chances are good for his
recovery. The physician thinks he suf-
fered concussion Of the brain, but no
fracture of the skull was discovered.
The assault on Slotter recalls some
mysterious incidents of the past two or
three weeks at the Slotter farm. His
father Is dead and he has been having
some trouble in the settlement OF the
estate, the matter being pending In the
district court here. While Slotter had
sold some hogs Saturday and surface
indications would appear to support
the theory that the assault was for the
purpose of robbery, 1t is believed that
| the assault was timed so as to make 1T
appear the object was robbery, where
as the real motive was revenge, ana
that the affair was the outcome OF bad
| blood caused over the settlement OF the
1 fathers estate About three weeks ago
| Slotter came upon q man suddenly IN
the barnyard just after midnight. He
chased the stranger and hurled a club
at him, and the man took to his heels.
He came upon the same man again
| few days later. On Christmas day a
note was dropped in Slotter's mail box.
1t was unsigned, but 1T ran something
| like this: "Mell-You are brave boy
| TO chase a man you don't know in the
dark, and / would advise you not TO 90
1t again, but am hobo and am going
away. So won't bother you again.
Since the receipt of the note Slotter
has gone armed. :,
He believes he knows who the assall
ant is and gives partial description or
him. Huffmeier's bloodhounds u
Knoxville have been sent for.
