Draper, a well-to-do farmer. Charles
Morton is a young man of about Fl
years Of age, residing with his father,
Geo. Morton, in this city, and for the
past week or two had been shocking
corn for Mr.. Draper while Mr. Draper

Morton was talking derogatory to her
character, dismissed the young man
from their employ last Friday even
ing and even before her husband
came home from Burlington Junction.
but she did not give her reasons for
SO doing. When Mr.. Draper returned
his wife told him that Charles Morton
had said some false things about her
defaming her character. This when
told to Mr.. Draper, aroused his ire
and selling a revolver he started to
Coin with blood in his eye. He

walking up to him began to hammer
him on the head with the muzzle OF
the gun, keeping firm hold on the
handle. Morton fell to the floor, and
Jack Dougherty, who was in the res
taurant rushed up to Draper and
took the revolver from him. Two bad

Aged and Wealthy Oskaloosa
Woman Receives Threatening
Demand For Money
$4,000 in CASH DEMANDED
Person Evidently Meant to Carry Out
Threats to Do Bodily Harm Unless
Demands Were Complied With ~
Matter placed in Hands of Officials
for Investigation.

Special to Times Republican,
Oskaloosa, Dec. 13.-An attempt t.
extort large sum of money from ar
aged and wealthy woman who resides
alone on large farm near this city
has just come to light here, and has
created a sensation. 1t is apparent
that the parties interested In the at
tempt were confident of securing the
money, as evidenced in the develop
ment Of the affair. The whole matter
is in the hands of officials and attor-
neys, and protection was given the In
tended victim at the time necessary.
The intended victim of the plotters
is Mrs. Henrietta C. Bass, the widow
of the late Wood Bass, Of Adams
township. The lady Is without chill
dren or other near relatives, and is
considered quite wealthy. having a
farm Of about four hundred acres in
extent and other property.
Mrs. Bass one day not long since
received letter demanding that she
place the sum Of $4,000 at a certain
place at certain time. Failure to
meet the demands Of the parties would.
so it was threatened, result In her own
immediate death and the destruction
Of her house, together with all therein.
The lady was much frightened by the
letter and for time was uncertain
what course to pursue. She finally
came to the city and laid the whole
affair before attorneys and the proper
officials for investigation. A special
guard was deputized and sent to the
home Of the lady for protection If per-
sonal violence was threatened.
Mrs Bass resides on the line of the
rural delivery Of mail in Adams town
ship. She found letter in her mail
box one morning that had evidently
been dropped therein by some passerby
other than the postal deliveryman, for
the letter bore nd post mark nor had
it been thru any office. 1t had been
properly stamped, however
The letter demanded OF Mrs. Bass
that she must have three thousand dol
lars-twenty- five hundred in bills and
five hundred in gold-and deposit It in
a tin can 10y certain telephone pole
that was designated. The money was
to be deposited at the place on the.
evening Of the day that card would
be nailed to the pole by which she
might know that the parties were ready
to receive the money.
The letter went on to state that
the writer was in earnest about the
matter and would tolerate no fooling.
The letter in places was very threat
ening in tone, stating the parties did
not give a d-n for her of anyone
else" and she must comply with the de-
mand or pick hell for herself"
Mrs. Bass has been greatly disturb
ed by the episode. She had previous
ly been contemplating residence in
Oskaloosa, and. the incident has added
determination to the inclination. The
lady was in the city yesterday and
purchased the cosy modern residence
owned by John Dow on North B
street and will remove to the city in
the near future, or as soon as Mr..
Dow can give possession.
