SHERIFF GETS BAD MAN.
Perpetrator of Awful Crime Arrested
Near Abba,

Albia.-A posse of one hundred
armed men headed by Sheriff w. B.
Griffin is on the trail of Frank Raj.
ston. who assaulted his sister, then
took his rifle and revolver and fed
to the timber, declaring he would kill
anyone who attempted to arrest him.
Ralston went to his farm five miles
south of here, where he lives alone
with his sister Lucy, who is 40 years
old. He told her he intended to as
sault and that if she resisted he would
shoot her. After desperate strug.
gle he accomplished his purpose. He
then buckled on cartridge belt and
took to the woods with his weapons.
Lucy Ralston came to Abba with
fast team and after notifying the
sheriff went to the home of her sis
ter. A posse of men was at once Or
ganized and left for the scene of the
crime. AS Ralston is thought to be
partially insane, it is feared he will
murder someone before he is taken.
He has threatened to kill G. w.
Smallwood and j. F. Abeddlen, whom
he says are trying to defraudI him.
After this he said he would end his
own life.
The Ralston estate, worth $4,000.
has been involved in litigation since
the death of the father.
That any man could commit such
crime is almost unbelievable. but
that Frank Ralston should have done
1t is even more inconceivable. Raj
ston Is famous in this mining coun-
try as man who does not drink,
smoke or gamble, and who has never
been known to be ddssolute. More
over that litigation and trouble over
his property should have been the
fancied cause of his revolution
against the most elementary dictates
of human conduct Is feature of the
case which is equally inexplicable.
Albia-Frank Ralston was cap
tured by the sheriff and two deputies
at the door of his own house on the
morning after he had committed his
crime. suspecting that he would re-
turn to his home for something to
eat after his night in the woods the
officers lay in wait for him. He ap-
peared and when he had. laid down
his arms the officers pounced upon
him. He Is now in iail.

SAY ATTORNEY SEEKS MONEY.
Question Motives of Attorney Who
Began Injunction Suits.

Dubuque. - Twenty-Five hundred
dollars was the melting motive for
the injunction suits sprung against
ninety-seven local saloonkeepers by
Attorney c. M. Thorne. At least that
is what the saloonkeepers say and
what the Law and Order league also
thinks. 1t is hard to say whether
the league or the saloon men are the
more disguised at the young attor-
ney, famous in his play as North
western football player, and whose
rush on the saloon mems line seems
likely to result in score for him.
1t is difficult to convince the par.
ties interested that the attorney is
acting from principles of patriotism.
His petition in effect demands the
full enforcement of the mulct law.
and 1T is the opinion of many attor.
neys that with the proceeding forced
Dubuque may be a dry town from the
time the temporary injunctions are
granted, which is looked for next
week, until the cases are tried on
their merits next October.

FIND SUPERVISOR GUILTY.
AoIlen of cass County ousted From
Supervisorsf1ip.


Atlantic.-Henry E. Hollen, the
Sass county supervisor, was found
guilty of maladministration by the
jury.
In charging the jury, the Judge held
that the defense set up by Hollen was
valid only as regards one offense of
fhe kind claimed. 1t had been al
legged and evidence introduced to show
that Hollen had entered charges
against the county for work done in
different townships on the same day,
when 1t was impossible that he could
nave traversed the intervening dis
lance in the given time. For re-
peats'd offenses of this kind, the Judge
held that a plea of clerical errors
could not suffice.
Another count against Hollen was
bill he had submitted and received
pay for, for expenses incurred in at
tending good roads convention at
Des Moines.
Hollen is we'll known man in Cass
county, where he has been active in
politics for years. The verdict re-
suits in his dismissal from the board
of supervisors. There is now talk of
lnstltuting criminal proceedings.

PURE FOOD BILL is CHANGED

Springfield, ILL.,, May AFTER a
long and noisy struggle the house
last night adopted the amended sub
stitute for the pure food bill, but in
form SO changed that its sponsor,
Judge Indy, will hardly recognize
lit when he sees it in print. Taking
advantage of the fact they were for
the time being in the majority, the
democratic members of the house
forced the adoption of amendments to
the bill to a form which they claim
made a good pure food bill of it, but
which Judge Indy and other repub-
lican members declared practically
killed the measure. 1t is probable
that Monday or Tuesday, when the
regulation overwhelming republican
majority shall again prevail, that at
tempts will be made to eliminate the
matter forced down the Threats of
the republicans hy the democrats
last night, and put the bill back into
the form lit was when it was present
ed yesterday afternoon by Judge
Indy. If they are unable to do this
the bill is undoubtedly dead.

TURNS AWAY 5000.
President Storms in Startling State.
ment

Ames.-"We find it necessary to
turn away nearly five thousand stu
dents who clamor for entrance to the
college and we are forced to continu.
ally raise the standard of the school
in order to keep out undesirable
students"
This statement was made by presi-
dent A. B. Storms of the Iowa Agri-
cultural college and was uttered only
as matter-of-fact phrase in the
course of conversation. President
Storms says it is impossible to take
care of the hundreds of students who
apply daily for admission. He says
it is absolutely essential to increase
the high average in examinations all
the time in order to give the young
men enrolled the benefit of the school.
There are now 1899 in attendance
and to show how hard the studies
are, it is said, that in one class alone
over eighty-nine out of 119 students
flunked. They could not come up to
the notch. The facilities for caring
for students is limited, and though
new buildings are going up all the
time it is utterly out of the question
to care for those who wish to take
q course at the college,
