to reach him by letter, but thought
they would do SO, and asked for con-
tinuance of the case. This Judge Eich.
elberger granted them.
History Of the Case.
In brief the history of the case is
as follows:
In August, this year. the Black Dia-
mond store management discovered
that there was more of the script used
by the store in circulation than had
been originally issued. This discov-
cry made it apparent that some one
was making and passing spurious
checks made in imitation of their
own.
Investigations were started and the
suspicious of the Black Diamond peo-
pie soon rested upon A. H. Haines,
Haines was re-arrested at Abba and
tried on the charge of uttering false
schipt, before Justice w. j. Berry. He
was bound over to the grand jury. La.
ter he was indicted, only to have his
case dismissed by County Attorney w
w. Epps because of the lack of sufh.
Gent evidence to convict.
Since then, however, more evidence
has been secured. On November 2
Haines was ae-arrested at Abba and
was brought to Ottumwa. He was
tried before Police Judge E. M Camp
bell and his bond fixed at $1,000. This
having been furnished, he was releas
ed to await the action of the grand
jury. The grand jury indicted him
but though the Indictment was kept
secret, the bondsmen have been unable
to find Haines.
He is said to have been in Abba or
the night of Friday, Nov. 16, but since
then, as far as is known, none Of the
local authorities or parties interested
in the case have found any trace Of
him.
Unless Haines appears at the time
now set for the trial of his case. it is
probable that his bond will be forfeit
ed and his bondsmen will be the los
ers to the amount of $1,000. However
they believe they will be able to pro
duce him.
FauIds Fined $500.
j. T. Faulds, charged with maintain
ing nuisance, was arraigned for tria
before Judge Eichelberger this morn
ing. He changed his plea from moi
guilty to guilty. He was fined $500
and costs and ordered committed tc
Jail until the fine was paid, or servei
out.

President Says Drake University Can

State School Authorities Have Az
ways Done Well With Meet. 4

Sioux City, Nov. 26.-"The board
of control of the Iowa High School
Athletic association will not recon.
slider Its decision to hold the next
state field meet at Iowa City. II Drake
university wants to hold a rump meet
in Des Moines, as have been led to
believe from newspaper reports, 1t Is
welcome to do SO. But the state meet
will go to Iowa City whether there
are fifteen schools entered or three. "
With the foregoing emphatic state
ment, Professor George Edward Mar
shall, principal of the Sioux City high
school and president of the board OF
the Iowa High School Athletic associa-
ton, disposed of the rumor that the
state meet might be held in Des
MONIES next spring. During the last
two weeks, President Marshall has
received a number of letters from
Drake and Grinnell alumni, who are
teaching school, asking that the board
reconsider It's action and send the
meet to Des Moines. He has con-
ferred with Prof. Frank L. Smart of
Davenport, secretary of the board,
and has announced there would be no

under any circumstances.
Who Is 1t For?
Professor Smart and myself are
tr..-ing to learn whether the state high
school field meet is held for the bene-
fit of lot of squabbling colleges or
for the benefit of the high school
teams entered If the latter, as we
humbly concluded, why do not the
colleges keep their hands off?
II am opposed to take the high
school meet a-circusing around the
state. l and other members of the
present board are particularly op-
posed to ever conducting it in Des
Moines under the auspices of Drake
university. Des Moines is no place
for lot of high school athletics after
the meet is over. While we we're con-
sidering the place of holding the meet
last, spring we were solicited by a
score Of school men not to send it to
the capital city.
ITO lis, there seems q certain fit
ness In conducting the state meet at
Iowa City under the auspices Of the
state university. The university Is
the head of the public school system
Of the state and the appropriate meet
