eADBols HAS BAD RECORD.
Man Sought For Nashville Robbery
Served Six Years in Pen.

Vinton.-Wm. B. Gadbois, the in
stlgator Of the Masonville bank rob-
berry, and who is still at large, has
criminal record in this county
which resulted in his receiving six
years at hard labor at Anamosa.
During the night of the 10Th day
of November, 1892, the store of w.
H. Burrows & Co., in Belle Plaine,
was broken into and merchandise in
value to nearly $500 was stolen from
1T. In December the stolen goods
were found packed in satchels in the
town of Watkins, fifteen miles east
OF Belle PLANE. During the night
after the find Gadbois was seen to
go to the stolen goods and was ar
rested soon afterwards His partner
in the crime, L. F. Widner, was ar
rested the same night in that vicin-
lily. Both men were indicted by the
grand jury after their arrest, and in
the January term of the district
court they came up for trial. Not
guilty was their plea. Four attor-
neys were employed by them for
their defense, and after long trial
the jury returned verdict of guilty
and they were sentenced to six years
at hard labor in the penitentiary at
Anamosa. Their case was appealed
to the supreme court, where the an.
pellants contended that the evidence
was not sufficient to authorize the
conviction of either party. The &C.
ton of the Tower court was affirmed.
Gadbois was a resident of Cedar
Rapids at this time.
Gadbois was captured at this time
only after a long chase by the sher-
iff, and after being shot at several
times came to a halt.

WANTED THE WHOLE HOGS.
Widow Fully Determined to Get Her
Moneys Worth.

TITS curious how the people have
turned around within couple of
years and become so distrustful,"s
said the old farmer, as the matter of
graft and trusts were touched upon.
Il had four hogs to sell and advertised
them in the village paper. Half a
dozen people came out to see them,
and among them was widow. She
wanted me to swear to the breed, the
weight and the fact that the hogs
were in good health. She wanted to
be assured of their good eyesight and
hearing. She wanted to be satisfied
that they were good-natured hogs. She
wanted me- to sign paper that I
had raised the porkers instead of
stealing them. When l had done all
this and the sale was about effected
she suddenly turned and walked away.
Hello, now, what's the matter?' l call
ed after her. You've cut their tails
off, she replied. Yes that was done
when they were pigs Then you
knock off SO cents apiece for missing
tails, or don't buy. It's whole hog
or none and no graft!'"

LAND MAN in TOLLS.
Gigantic Frauds Are Charged Against
His COMPANY,


Clarion.-A Ira Dexter of Algona
was brought to Clarion by federal Of
ficers for hearing before Commits
sloner Rogers on the charge of using
the United States mails for fraudulent
purposes. Dexter waived preliminary
examination and was bound over to
the federal grand jury which meets at
Fort Dodge in June.
In the arrest of Dexter the officials
believe they have unearthed one of
the biggest swindling schemes that
mas been worked for years. The ac-
cused worked under the firm name of
the National Land company of Algona.
me entire northwestern part of the
state was flooded with literature and
advertisements inserted in the daily
papers of the state in which the COM
pany solicited land owners to list
their holdings at a nominal charge of
81 per acre. Contracts were also sent
out which were misleading in their
workings. Many signed these con-
tracts supposing that they were agree
ing TO pay 81 per acre if their land
was sold. AS a matter of fact the
company did not agree to sell the
iauu dl dil, Out SIMPLY charged for
listing and advertising it. 1t is said
mat the company maintained no
office and kept no books. AS fast as
the contracts were received they were
turned over to a lawyer for collection.
Hundreds of farmers and business
men throughout northwestern Iowa
have signed these contracts, and al
most as many suits are now pending
in different counties in this section
against the victims.
1t is Thought that the promoters of
the land company are the same who
worked the stock food graft of few
years ago, when hundreds of farmers
were fieeced out of various sums of
moneys by signing a contract for the
purchase of stock food. These con-
traits turned out to be loaded, but the
courts upheld their validity and the
victims were compelled to nav.
