Three Fishville People Bound Over
to the Grand Jury.

Sufficient evidence was produced in
Esquire Bacon's court Friday after
noon OF hold Roscoe Williams, Annie
Ward and Josie Guy, all colored and
living at FishVille, for the crime of
larceny. The information was filed
and the arrests made by Policeman
Connolly and Constable Andrews, and
the facts in the case are about as fol-
lows: Mrs. NJ. J. Nudge, Of Ottumwa,
on her way home after escorting an
aged lady to Marshalltown, left the
Rock Island depot in this city for a
few minutes, and left her pocketbook
containing about SIS in Inc seat.
While she was gone the colored peo-
pie went in and took the pocketbook.
AS they wer egoing up South Second
street they threw the pocketbook into
a yard. All the witnesses examined
agreed in their testimony that the
suspects stole the pocketbook. They
were held to the grand jury. Upon
default of bond they were sent to the
Mahaska county Jail. o. c. G. Phil
lips and J. G. Patterson appeared for
the defendants and John Mccoy and
James Dewitt for the state.
Upon the information Of his wife,
Maggie Rogers. Andrew Rogers, better
known as Punk" Wing, was arrested
yesterday afternoon by Constable Geo.
Andrews on the charge Of wife beat
ing. On default of bond he was sent

Hez Fielding Has Another Fine of
$500 Imposed On Him.

A session of the district court was
held before Judge Preston in the of
fee Of Sheriff Valentine this morning
occupying almost the entire forenoon
in the hearing of the case against
"Hez" Fielding, arrested and held on
a charge of having violated an injunc-
ton. The defendant was judged
guilty of the disobedience set forth
by County Attorney John N. Mccoy,
and he was fined four hundred dollars
or six months in the county jail. The
man stood committed, although it is
understood he will make an effort to
make cash payment.
James A. Dewitt in 1904 secured an
injunction against Fielding from OPP
Grating an Illicit liquor joint. In
February, 1906, he was indicted by the
grand jury, John Mccoy prosecuting.
and sentenced to three months in Jail
which he served. He was again in
dicted in 1905, convicted and fined one
thousand dollars. He served seven
teen days in Jail when he was paroled.
In November the parole was revoked
because the, defendant opened the
building against which injunction is
sued contrary to the order of the
court. Fielding was recently brought
into court again, charged with run
ming place at Durfee. He made a
getaway, but pending the investiga.
ton of the claimed violation Of anoth-
er parole of sentence he returned and
was arrested and the case at court
this morning was for his violation of
the Dewitt injunction.
Mr.. Mccoy says that the people in
the neighborhood where Fielding has
been living have been complaining
and have said that he was operating
by permission of the attorney. Mr..
Mccoy says this is not so, and that
he will prosecute and insist upon the
obedience to the law and the sentence
of the court.

A JOKE ON SOME One VIOLATED INJUNCTION.
Coroner Is Called Upon to Investi-
gate Grewsome Find,

Coroner Chas. Foehlinger has of
times been called upon to investigate
cases of mysterious death, to look al
many CHASTITY sights and to determine
the cause of this and that unusual
happening but not until recently wa:
he summoned to view the remains Of
dog long since dead.
A few days ago while the gentle
man was crowded with work the
phone rang and DIR. Hook stated that
there was something in his neighbor.
hood that needed investigation. Mr.
Foehlinger should come Immediately
and look into a strange finding across
the way from his house. Now the
doctor was also busy that day and
he himself had not had time to gather
many Of the facts concerning the find
He knew, however, that some chill.
dreD had unearthed some sort of a
mystery, and the coroner should in.

terry and awe in the voice of the doc
tor over the phone that impressed Mr..
Foehlinger and he lost no time in
getting out to Green's addition" in
the southwest part Of the city. AS he
turned corner after corner he expect
ed to see crowds of people running
here and there telling of the horrible
thing that had been found. He haG
intended to bring along a cooling
board" and some other instruments
that would be necessary in almost
any case, but had fastened away
without them. AS he neared the su-
burb and no commotion or excitement
was to be noted he thought perhaps
the population was all centered about
the grewsome find. He went around
here and there but could find nor see
no one. DR.. Hook had left his home
and could not be found. Near neigh
bors knew nothing of any mysterious
find or strange occurrences. Neither
was there any bad smell in the air.
Still the coroner was not satisfied
and determined to delve deeper. At
ter continued search and at the ex-
penditure of both time and patience,
Mr.. Foehlinger did find where some
children in kicking about in the dirt
had found a piece of CANNES skull

had said: "Ohi what if that is the
skull of murdered man." The chill
dren after their first scare forgot Of
the finding of the bone, and went their
way. 1t was only after considerable
difficulty that the coroner located
what had been the trouble. Tossing
the skull of the dog to the roadside,
he wendell his way thoughtfully to-
ward town. He entered his store,
went to the back room and there drew
straws with himself to see whether

orally Satisfied.

Havana, Sept. 29.-Secretary Taft
issued proclamation this morning de
claring himself the provisional COVER
nor of the island of Cuba, by author
ity of President Roosevelt and the
government of the United States. The
proclamation was published in the Off
cial Gazette and thousands of extra
copies were circulated. The terms
are causing general satisfaction, being
Unexpectedly moderate in tone.
Secretary Taft states that the pro,
visional government undertaken was
created only on account of the neces.
stiles of the situations and he promises
the provisional government will be
maintained purely for the restoration
of peace, order and public confidence
until permanent government can be
established.
Cuban Flag viii Float.
The proclamation says that so far
as is consistent with the provisional
government under the authority of
the United States this will be Gu
ban government, conforming to the
Cuban constitution. 1t also an.
nounces that elections for permanent
officials will eventually be held.
The Cuban flag will be noisted as
usual over the government buildings,
and all departments will be admins
tered as under the Cuban republic.
All heads of departmentS. including
General Rodriguez, commanding the
Rurales, and General Roloff, of the
treasury, have been ordered to report
to Taft.
Mr.. Taft signed the proclamation as
Secretary of War of the United
States and Provisional Governor of
Cuba"
While Governor Taft has not yet
taken possession of the palace, this is
only because ex-President Palma will
not be ready to yacate the official res
idence until Monday, and Mr.. Taft de-
sires to do whatever he can to suit
the ex-president's convenience.
No business of any kind occurred
last night. The business interests
here are gratified at the change of
government. A striking feature of
the provisional government is the
fact that the Cuban flag has not been
lowered. This establishes a prece.
dent in provisional governments and
protectorates.

SALOONS WILL CLOSE IOWA CENTRAL STRIKE
Car Shop Employees Refuse to Work
Under Green.

The difficulties that have been in
progress for several months between
Foreman Green and the men employed
in the Iowa Central car shops at Mar
shalltown, have eliminated in strike
and about fifty men are idle as re-
suit. The indications are that the
struggle will be prolonged, as neither
side seems disposed to make any con-
cessions.
Abuse from Green is said to be the
foundation of the mems claims for his
removal, and to have been the cause
of the previous conferences, when
charges against him were filed. When
investigated these charges, General
Superintendent Noonan says, came to
naught, and he presumed the effort to
remove Green had been dropped. The
men, however, say that under Green
abuses have been frequent, that he is
incompetent and unfit for the place.
Mr.. Noonan says that he will not re-
move Green for the same reason that
he would not remove any ether man,
unless sufficient cause was found to
do so. He also says that the strike
is inexcusable and without defense,
and was entirely unwarranted, and in
open violation of the Garments agree
ment with the company.
The statement issued by the men is
as follows:
1--WE, the car shop employees of the
Iowa Central railroad, feel that the
public is entitled to some explanation
of the trouble that exists between the
employees of the car shop and Fore
man John Green.
CAS- we can not stand his abuse and
mistreatment any longer, between if
ty and sixty employees walked out at
10 o'clock this morning. We have
worked under great many foremen
in the past years without any trouble,
but find that we cannot continue I'M
der present conditions"
John Green is one of the old en-
ployes of the company. He has work
ed in various departments for many
years. He was appointed foreman by
Master Mechanic Feely soon after c.
H. Mead, a former general car fore
man, resigned, early in the summer,
and when j. H. Chamberlain became
general car shop foreman.

TEMPLE is DEDICATED.
shriners Have Glorious Time in
Pilgrimage to Des Moines.

The Oskaloosa delegates to the big
Mystic Shrine celebration in Des
Moines yesterday report a successful
meeting and a great time. About
1000 Shriners were present and prac-
tically all of them took part in the
parade. The dedication of the new
Za-Ga-Zig temple and the initiation of
a class of 100 candidates were the fea-
lures of the occasion. Des Moines is
justly proud of the fact that there are
but two other Mystic Shrine temples
in the United States, one in Pittsburg
and one in Philadelphia. The Des
Moines temple is the old Methodist
church, entirely remodeled, and ele-
gantly finished throughout. The af-
ternoon parade eclipsed anything of
the kind ever before attempted in
Iowa. The two thousand participants
all wore their fezes and most of them
were dressed in Oriental and ridicu-
lous costumes. Several live camels
and goats were ridden in the parade
and a number of fine floats were used.
The ones that attracted the most at
tention were the water wagon and the
sausage machine. It is estimated
that crowd of $4,000 people were on
the streets watching the caravan.
