MILWAUKEE WANTS ROAD.
Promoter of D. NJ, !. F. G. N. Makes
Another Denial Regarding Sale.

Special to Times Republican,.
Mason City, Oct. 9.-Another denial
was made by G. w. E. Dodge, promo
ter for the Des Moines, Iowa Falls &
Northern, who paid visit to the city
today while en- route to Milwaukee,
where he goes to attend a meeting of
the officials of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& ST Paul road. Mr.. Dodge incident
ally was negotiating with a big brick
and tile firm here, for right way
over their property, which is the first
attempt of the new road to enter the
city limits. He found considerable
difficulty in arriving at q settlement
with the brick men. who. it is under
stood, want $4,000 for right way Of
less than quarter Of a mile. The new
road is not disposed to pay this.
Mr. Dodge said his company was as
independent as any company in Iowa,
tho he did not deny his trip to Mil
waukee would lead to the discussion
Of the sale Of the road. He said the
Milwaukee wanted the road, but that
the stockholders were not anxious to
sell. He said the fact that Fred G.
Mcmillan, Of the Wabash had been
made general manager of the new road

class article. The plant needed en-
larging and much new machinery was
needed to increase the output lie per"
sl,aded the directors to Increase the
Capitalization to 100000 This was
done and the additional stock easily
sold.
Ii was about this time that the di-
rectors thought they smeled rat.
They began to look over the books, IN
vestigate the invoices and look over
the check and draft record AS a re-
suit Mackown was dismissed from the
management, but permitted to remain
rs foreman.
Following this Mackown's wife and
baby were sent east on a visit and
within a month the big factory into
which Webster City men had put $780,
600 in good cold cash, law a smolder
ing heap of ashes on the bank of the
river, where had stood the busiest
plant in Webster City and an institu
ton upon which was builded many a
hope of large financial returns.
The finger of suspicion was diverted
from the former manager by his APP
parently sincere attempts to straight
en- out the tangle, locate the blame,
collect the $4,000 insurance and get
things to going again Finally one day,
after a smodering belief that he
knew more than he had told had been
famed into feverish suspicion, the
man disappeared and from that
day until four years later. when
on August 3, when he stepped jauntily
off Northwestern coach at the local
depot in company with the sheriff and
county attorney. he was never seen in
Webster City.
Maclown is man OF supreme nerve
and during the three months that he
has been in Jail, not once has he
yuailed or permitted even hint to go
forth from his cell that he has any
doubt that a jury will clear him. But
the confinement is wearing on him and
he longs for the time, IL it must come,
when he may face q jury. His soil
tary jail confinement Is worse than i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary Des-
pite the wish of his client however,
that an end of the case be had soon,
Attorney Chase will exhaust all the
preliminary skirmishing possible in or
der that the court records may be re-
lied upon, in case of an appeal to the
supreme court. While the people of
Webster City and vicinity are greatly
preiudiced against Mackown, neverthe-
less IL the famous prisoner, who is
charged with having duped the mon
led men of the town in a manner so
thorough that it's like cannot be found
In the annals OF centra! crime, can
explain all and prove himself inno-
cent, he will find many friend here
who will help him to regain any
standing he has lost by reason OF the
charge now standing
against him.
AT conclusion of late session of
court last night Judge Lee announced
that he would not render decision
on the demurrer in the MackoWn case
until late today or tomorrow. He de-
sires to look up the law thoroughly,
hence the next move in this famous
criminal action will probably not come
for several DAYS.

Webster City Oct 9.-F'ollowing the
everything yesterday of the motion to
havs the indictments against George
MackoWn thrown out of court because
Of the grand jury being illegally drawn.
attorneys for defendant have contin-
ued their efforts to prevent the
charges from being brought TO trial.
Attorney Chase yesterday filed a de-
murrer to the Indictment on the
grounds that this remarkable instru
ment charges his client with no crime
under the laws of Iowa.
The real significance of these mo-
tons lies in the inability of the state
to secure new indictment in case the
present one Is found deficient or faulty,
The alleged crime charged against
Mackown Is that he embezzled a check,
or possibly any number of checks,
from the shoe company. He is alleged
to have tagen them TO New York,
where he cashed them after having
been identified by member of large
felt jobbing firm there. with whom the
Webster city company carried on 4
large business This man appeared
before the grand Jury which indicted
MackoWn. He is the one person who
can connect Mackown with the alleged
eml,ezzlement. IL is said that he will
never again return to Webster city
and as the state cannot force him to
do 80, the solicitude of Attorneys Por-
ter and Boyce for the preservation of
the present Indictment can be readily
seen.
The motion of Mr. Chase in demurr-
ing to the Indictment came about thru
the solicitude of former County Attor-
ney Blake to leave no loopholes in that
instrument which would take jurisdic-
ton in the case from the State of Iowa
to the State of New York. II the crime
charged in the indictment was COM
mitted in New York. then Iowa has no
jurisdiction, and New York, having
nothing at stake in the matter, of
course would not prosecute. Hence III
writing the Indictment Mr.. Blake Is
charged by Mr.. Chase In his demurrer
with having overreached himself and
In his anxiety to avoid naming New
York as the place where MackoWn Is
alleged to have fraudulently cashed ms
checks, Chase held in his demurrer
that no crime at all had been lodged
against the prisoner.
Mackown was formerly a foreman in
the plant of the Daniel Green Felt
Shoe Company at Dolgville, N. q.
He was brought to this city by the
local company. none Of whom knew
a thing about the manufacture of felt
shoes, or any other kind of shoe, for
that matter. The dapper young New
Yorker was given free rein, and right
we'll did he exercise it. The company
was capitalized at $4,000, all Of which
was paid in. At the close of the first
year Mackown was selling an immense
amount of goods by reason of wide
advertising. a large corps Of travelling
men and the manufacture of first

Shortly before four in the afternoon
they arrived in the vicinity Of Durango

discover a fire on a railroad bridge
The flames were creeping along the

young women rushed up the track for
a considerable distance, and standing
right in the middle of the track, waved
frantically at the engineer to stop.
Their signal of distress was seen in
plenty of time; and the train was
brought to standstill.
A telegraph message was at once
sent into the city from Durango to
stop the passenger train which was
due from the east shortly after that
