MOUSE A THIEF
Little Animal Steal. Money From Rail-
road company's Cash Drawer, But
Theft is Discovered and Mysterious
Shortages Are Explained.

Shortages Of small sums OF money
in the ticket office of the union station,
which for months have been unex-
planned, have been solved, part of the
turned, but the thief mouse, escaped
How much the little gray burglar has
stolen will probably never be known,
but 1t Is known that despite the safe
guards with which 1t is surrounded he
broke into the cash drawer Of the
Northwestern and Iowa Central rail-
way corporations and made off with
at least So. This much has been recov-
cred in the shape Of one 81 and one 81
bill.
At different times various sums have
been short from the drawer, but where
they went remained a mystery until
the theft was exposed. The thief was
almost caught redhanded, and the noise
he made gnawing the edge Of the
drawer led to the discovery. Then the
drawer was removed from the counter
and tiny hole, large enough for a
mouse to enter, was found chewed from
one of it's corners. Behind the drawer,
and between the counter and wall of
the office, the two paper bills were
found. With them was quantity of
paper chewed into small bits. but the
thief was nowhere to be seen, and a
mouse trap now silently awaits his re-
turn.

nesday, when a fracture of the lower
splice of the frame of engine No. rs.
Just ahead of the front pedestal, was
repaired by the new method
A mould was clamped on the outside
of the fracture, and after the broken
ends had been heated cherry red,
with gasoline blast, the half of the
mould going on the inside of the frame
was put in place. Into receptacle of
the mould, which held the broken frame
ends, the welding material was poured
from metal receptacle suspended
above it. This welding compound is
composed of Thermit steel and fusing
chemical. which. when ignited, pro-
duces a liquid steel in few seconds.
This liquid steel flowed into the mould,
cooled in short time so the mould
harden, so that it could be trimmed to
conform with the lines of the frame.
The liquid welded the broken parts
perfectly. and it is claimed will out
last the unbroken parts of the frame.
The welding process is known as the
Thermit process.

ing Seven Feet Across the Wings.
Two golden eagles, believed to be
mates, have been killed in the country,
near this city, and their skins are now
in this city being stuffed and mounted,
One of the birds was of unusually
large size measuring more than seven
feet from tip to tip of it's wings. One
eagle, the larger of the two, and the
male bird was killed by e. 7. Hamp-
ton, on the w. A. Sandoe farm, two
miles southwest of the city. The other
bird, the female, was shot by A. M,
Crookshank on his farm west of Green
Mountain. The male bird measured
seven feet seven inches across the out
stretched wings, and weighed eleven
pounds. The female was six and one
half feet across the wings, and weigh
ed ten and one-half pounds. Mr..
Hampton was rabbit hunting when he
killed the bird. He was attracted to it
by the cawing of a flock of crows,
which was attacking 1t. I'm, attempting
to escape the crows the bird flew very
close to Mr.. Hampton. The female
bird was killed in a similar manner. AS

sistant.
Considerable interest has been man
ifested since the announcement in the
T.-R. of the nomination of Charles H.
Smith as postmaster of Marshalltown,
to succeed John O. Saint, as to wheth-
er or not Mr.. Smiths incumbency
would in any way affect the assistant
postmaster, M. S. Mcfarland. There
has been some question raised as to
how the civil service law affects the
assistant postma ster, but whatever the
ruling on this might be, Mr. Smith said
today that there would be no change
in any way.
The Interpretation Of the civil service
ruling is not as plain as 1t might be-,
altho the position Of assistant post
master in first class offices is at pres
ent under the civil service. In most
cases, however, 1t Is claimed that the
assistant is an excepted position in all
cases where the appointee was not
chosen from position held under the
civil service. If this wou-u be given as
the ruling, Mr.. McFarlands position
might be questioned, but Mr.. Smith
sets all inquiries at rest by his an
nouncement that regardless of inter-
probation Mr.. Mcfarland will remain
as his assistant. The other govern.
ment positions are all under civil SER
vice.
The salary of the postmaster Of
Marshalltown at the present time is
$4,000, and that Of the deputy SO per
cent of the postmaster's salary, or ST.
500.

While there has been no doubt for
several days in the minds of the gener-
al committee of the Marshalltown RE
tail Merchants Association as to the
success of the interurban petition, any
doubt that may have rested with those
less familiar with the work of securing
names may. now he finally dispelled.
The committee held meeting at the
council chamber Thursday evening, and
checked over the different lists that
will form the petition with the new
certified list of resident free holders,
compiled by the county auditor The
new list, which is absolutely correct.
and UP to date, contains total Of L.
$40 names of free holders who are legal
residents Of the city This would ne
cessitate total Of 761 names in order
to have bare majority. The lists In
hand Thursday night contained 943
names that checked up with the audi
tors count. and there were still thirty
six lists not reported. Some OF these
have been seen, and it is known that
several contain from ten to twenty
names each. The committee, therefore,
estimates that with the outstanding
lists the petition will have at least L.
100 names.
"A petition of this strength will go be-
fore the city council as a most repre-
sentative call for special election to
vote the tax aid, and the committee Is
firm in its belief that If it cared to fol-
low up its good work it could secure
1,400 names out of the entire 1920. The
committee will not take the time. how
ever, and Is content to secure the 1000
for which 1t worked.

"The Squaw Man" Proves the Ora.
matte Treat Of Present Season.
A Marshalltown audience last might
saw for the first time Liebler & Co.'s
presentation of 1.-THE Squaw Man," a
realistic drama portraying western
life by Edwin Milton Royle. The event
proved the dramatic treat of the seas
on to date, and large audience was
as presented in the four acts.
1.-THE Squaw Nam savors of other
strong western plays that have proved
most popular, and reminds one In in
stances of both Arizona" and "The
Virginian'' Especially is this true,
with reference to ''The Virginian," in
the second act, in which the scenes of
the typical western mining camp sa-
loon and gambling house are striking
ly shown.
Mr.. Royle has built his play very
close to nature, has made his plot
strong and closely connected, and has
introduced characters which are as
closely identified to real life as it is
possible to display in stagedom. The
story is one that appeals strongly to
the heart, breaches a sermon of self
sacrifice, love and devotion, and draws
a moral of final reward for an honor
able and upright life.
Told briefly the story of "The
Souaw Man" may be summed up as
follows: Henry Wynngate, earl of
Kerhill, embezzles funds of his regi-
ment by appropriating a large sum
with which he CANDLES and loses. His
cousin, Captain James Wynngate, as
sunes the blame in order to save the
disgrace to Diana, Henry's wife, for
whom James holds the highest regard.
James wynngate goes to America,
adopts the name of Jim" Carston, and
becomes a COW puncher and later
ranch owner in Wyoming. There
