ARRESTS eooTLEceER.
Strong Evidence Has Been Collected
Asainst Fred Smith, Of Clarion.


Fort Dodge, Oct. 14.-Fred Smith, of
Clarion, has been brought to Fort
Dodge by United States Deputy Mar
skal Gustafson. Smith is charged
with bootlegging. The crime, 1t is al
legged was committed on July 4, last,
at Clarion. On that day Smith is al
legged to have bought up several cases
of beer, and when the crowd got
thirsty peddled 1t out at the regular
price For months he has considered
himself SAFE as have the other men
implicated in the deal.
In some way, which he is not ready
to give out Marshal Gustafson got
wind of the affair and gathering up his
information, went to Clarion Thursday
and made the arrest. The man was
given a preliminary hearing before
Justice of the Peace Rogers, and the
result was that he was bound over to
the grand jury.
He was brought to Fort Dodge this
morning and placed in Jail to wait
there until the federal grand jury has
a chance at his case at the coming
term of court. The arrest of Smith
caused considerable surprise at Cla-
rion, as he has lived in that city many
years, and has always borne good
reputation. There seems little doubt OF
his guilt and it will go hard with him
if he is proven guilty.

portant factor in the scandal is the
hypnotic influence possessed by Dean,
and which, evidence seems to show,
was exerted over another mans wife,
to no good purpose.
About two years ago Dean, who is a
perfect specimen Of physical manhood
and acknowledged to be the strongest
man in Bremen county, discovered that
he possessed this power, and for sew

the country, giving demonstrations in

past Mrs Cook has acted like ore un-

affair is the fact that Dean left his
four little children at home quaran-

Dean is the only son Of the late
G. R. Dean, who was county superin-
tendent Of Bremen county and for many
years mayor of Waverly. The Dean

he borrowed a horse Of a parishioner.

did not wish to drive the Van de Berg
mare too Tar, she being with foal, he
borrowed a horse from the Hartley
man for the rest OF the journey.
It is stated than on his return trip,
the minister effected a trade with the
Hartley man, getting the latter's horse
IN exchange for the Van de Berg mare,
and also $25 in cash. On his return to
Hull. the divine left the Hartley horse
IN the Van de Berg stable. Whether It
