Marry the Ex-convict.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, March .. Sherman
Morris, better known all over Iowa as
Frank Shercliffe, chief witness against
Tom Dennison, is to marry Des
Moines society girl.
His engagement to marry Miss May
Bergstrom, a we'll known Highland
Park girl, has been announced to a
few friends of the prospective bride.
Miss Bergstrom resides at Sixth and
Ovid avenue. When seen this morn
ing, she charmingly admitted that her
prospective marriage to Mr.. Morris
was an event not far off. But she
wouldn't say just what the date Of the
ceremony would be.
Shercliffe is probably as well known
in Iowa as President Roosevelt Is IN
every state of the union. His enmity
to the Dennison gang OF Omaha has
made him probably the most talked
about man in the state.
The wedding will not be solemnized
until after the trial of Tom Dennison
in Logan.

Account of Herself the Coming
Season on Track and Field-Every
Phase Of University Work Progress
ing Even Better Than Ever Before.
Special to Times Republican

Special to Times Republican,
Iowa City, March 9.-The registrar
of the State University of Iowa has
just completed tabulation of the stu
dents, which shows that the enroll
ment for the present year already eX-
ceeds that of any previous year Of the
institutions history, and this in spite OF
the fact that the registration for the
second semester is still incomplete. The
total enrolment to date is 1850, to-
tai of 157 students in advance of the
count at the end Of last years regis
tration and total of eight students
in advance of the greatest enrolment
the university has ever enjoyed.
This unprecedented jump in the en-
rollment seems to have been contrib
uted to, not by any special locality
but by the state as whole. and the
students enrolled claim residence in
every county in the commonwealth.
In addition to the Iowa students at
tending, are students coming frol0 ILL.,
nois, Oregon, Oklahoma, Minnesota,
Pennsylvania, WISCONSIN, North Dako-
TIA, South Dakota, Indiana, Montana.
Massachusetts, Missouri, New York,
Michigan, Utah. Kansas, Nebraska.
Georgia, Washington, New Mexico,
California, and from the District Of
Columbia, Japan, Ontario, Mexico and
Turkey.
The work Of the institution never
progressed with such great satisfaction
to both faculty and students as 1t is
doing this year and the remarkable gain
in attendance, one wholly unprece-
dented in the history Of the university,
may be taken as the general public's
vote of confidence in the general con-
duct and management of the institu-
ton.
With the increase in attendance at
the university, has come an increased
varsity spirit and not in years has
there existed in the student body the
intense loyalty to the institution which
now cropa out at every gathering of
students. The recent completion Of
the armory and athletic pavilion has
added it's part to the keenness of this
spirit and while the university has been
lame during the past years on account
of lack Of trainers and gymnasium.
tie notion is rapidly growing that Old
Gold will give a glorious account OF
herself on the track and field this COM
ing season. Withal the year promises
to be by far the most successful one
the state university has ever exper-
fenced.

Fairfield. March 9.-The jury in the
case of the State of Iowa VS.. Dan Shep-
herd, for the murder of Christian Wom-

following verdict Wednesday:

Dan. Shepherd, guilty of the crime OF
manslaughter, as charged in the in
dictment. ]. II. CHARLES.
Foreman
The verdict is a surprise to large
number, in that it was thought that If
he was found guilty at all it would be
for murder, and If not for that that he
would be given his liberty. Shepherd
will be sentenced Saturday morning.
Attorneys for the defendant will ask
for a new trial, and if it is not granted
will appeal it to the supreme court.
Womelsdorf was an aged German,
who lived in the same house with his
wife, hut did his own cooking and
managed his own affairs independent
of the woman. They We're both rough
and unlearned, and it is said did HOT
live happily together. The old woman
returned to the house one evening and
found Womelsdorf weltering in his own
blood on the kitchen floor dead from
a blow in the head with an axe. The
crime was laid at the door of Shepherd
inasmuch as he was known to have had
trouble with the old man over the
burning of a wretched shanty which
Womelsdorf had permitted the prisoner
to build upon his land. There was
slight suspicion directed against the
ignorant old wife of the dead man.
Shepherd has had local criminal
career, having intimate acquaintance
with every Jail in the county. He has
been known as desperate character
for years. Sentence will be pronounc-
ed Saturday, and a life term is look
