west of Ottumwa, Sheriff w. w. Jack
son yesterday afternoon found pair
of youthful runaway sweethearts,
Barney Ruby, aged IL and Miss Emma
Knight, aged 16, both of Ollie, and
turned the young girl over to her irate
father and the officer who accompanied
him.
Thursday, according to Sheriff Jack
son. young Ruby and the girl, accom-
PANIED by John Ruby, brother, left
Ollie and went to Hedrick. Securing
a buggy there they drove to Ottumwa
and then went to the home of Dan
Weeks, a brother-in-law of Ruby's,
who resides on the Jackson farm.
Yesterday the girls father, A,
Knight, came to Ottumwa in search of
the pair, being accompanied by Con-
stable sievers of Ollie, who had war
rant for the girls arrest. Fearing that
1t would warn the lovers if they saw
either the father or the constable ap-
preaching the Weeks home, Sheriff
Jackson drove out to his farm osten-
sibly on private business.
Arriving there he found both of the
Rubys and the young woman living at
the Weeks home. The girl made no
attempt to resist going with the officer
nor did the youthful lover try to pre-
vent going. John Ruby accompanied
Sheriff Jackson back to Ottumwa,
where Miss Knight was given into the
custody of her father and the officer
from Ollie.
| According to Sheriff Jackson Miss
Knight claimed that her father had
been most unkind to her and his cru
city had made it so unpleasant for her
at home that she decided to run away.
AS far as is known no charges have
yet been filed against young Ruby,
though the father stated before leaving
for Ollie last evening that he might 10

Interstate Commerce COmmisSiOner
Busy on Rates In Home Town.
CEDAR RAPIDS. Ia. Jan. 29.-Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Clark, who resides
here, today began the hearing in the case
of the Cedar Rapids & Iowa City Interurban
Railroad company against the Chicago &
Northwestern Railway company 1t in
wolves the right OF interurbans to demand
the same concessions of steam railways
that are granted to other steam railroads.
The question is whether an interurban,
being purely a local line, can be said to be
engaged In Interstate traffic. The complain
ant says II is because it accepts freight
for shipment into other states by the Cedar
Rapids sors Iowa City, and because IL re-
ceives for points on its line freight shipped
from other states by a steam line. The
Northwestern asserts the interurban has
not yet reached the dignity of a railroad,
inasmuch as II has no STOCK or freight
cars of its. own, but is obliged to call on
steam roads for use OF cars in handling
shipments OF any size,
The complainant is represented by Daw-
ley Hubbard g. Wheeler and John A.
Read, defendant by Attorney John Lynde
of Chicago. Many representatives Of Iowa
interurban lines have been called as wit
nesses. The hearing is likely to continue
several days, but no decision will be
