abouts of her brother, Alvin G.. Bobb,
formerly Of this city, in peculiar man
ner, thru the medium of song. Bobb
who had not been heard Of since leav-
ing South Dakota about twelve months
ago, has been found in Canada A
friend of Mr.. Bobb, who was also un-
aware of his present address, received
a letter from him yesterday In which
he writes: Il was at a party a few
nights ago at Watson, Sask., Canada,
and there l heard song that at
tracted by attention. 1t was called

ten by an old friend of mine in Water

called to mind and determined to
correspond with my old friends down
there"
Alvin Bobb left Waterloo four or five
Years ago ana went TO Re1nDeCk, later
going to Hazel. S. ID. After leaving
that place no one knew where he could
be found He ceased corresponding
even with relatives and no trace of
him was gained until the arrival Of the
letter, which was inspired by the lit
tie circumstance at the house party in
Canada. Mr.. Bobb explains that he
merely neglected to correspond with
his old friends and that he has been
too busy to write letters. He says in
part:
II came to Canada last June and

Special to Times Republican,.
Webster City. Feb 26.-There seems
to be much difference Of opinion as to
the outcome of the present indictment
of e. o. Soule. the Iowa Falls banker
who embezzled $4,000. One who Is in
close touch with district court matters,
is authority for the statement that
the probability is that Soule, whose
trial in the Hamilton county court on
charge sof embezzlement, is set for
March or Z, will escape any further
punishment for his crime.
The statement was made by this
party Saturday that County Attorney
e. r. Seaton of Eldora, who has the
states side OF the case in hand, will
make motion for dismissal and argue
1t before the court when the case is
called for trial. On just what grounds
the dismissal will be asked. Is not
known, tho several reasons for such an
action have been given. 1t Is stated by
many that Soule was not the only gull
ty party in the theft of the banks
funds; that there were others and that
Soule served as a sort OF cat,s-paw;
that he took the entire blame and pun
ishment for the theft upon his own
shoulders, when others should have
suffered with him. This Is said to be
one Of the reasons why the prosecution
Is in favor of abandoning the effort to
visit any further punishment upon
Soule. Another reason Is that there
would be great expense entailed by the
prosecution Of the case as Soule's at
3torneys would make a long, hard fight;
the accused man is now out of the
county and the state and everything
indicates that he will cause no further
trouble here.
After his theft was discovered
Soule was indicted, tried. convicted
and sentenced to Is months in the
penitentiary. The ,brevity of the
sentence met with the general dis
approval of the people. On Soule's
release from prison he was arrested
on another Indictment which had been
returned against him. He gave bonds
for his appearance. Since that time
his attorneys have succeeded in having
the case continued and finally got a
change of venue to the Hamilton
county court.
All parties interested In the case
have been notified that the trial or dis
position of the case will be begun either
March Or March and that they
should be in readiness to appear on
either date. The motion to dismiss
will, it is stated, be made by the state
and it, is not probable that the defense
will object unless 1t feels capable of
wholly generating the accused man.
The speculation has been made that
should the state secure dismissal an
other Indictment will be returned
against Soule. and that the motion to
dismiss will, be made and argued only
for this reason.
Soule is now employed in a Chicago
financial institution.
