| Judge w. P. Helscher of Ackley
failed to find, on examination, suf-
ficient evidence to hold Joe Stone
breaker of Iowa Falls for stealing the
pocketbook of Miss Letta Sluter,
pretty school ma'am of Ackley. 1t is
stated that the couple had been keep
ing company for some time, and that
the young lady was in Iowa Falls
recently. She handed her companion,
Mr.. Stonebreaker her pocketbook,
containing about $40, to carry until
she went home. When the time came
for the train to leave for Ackley

McLaughry was employed with a
working crew and his business was
to flag west bound trains approach

on the track and apparently fell into
a doze. He was not aroused by the
coming of the east bound train No.

until too late, because of curve at
that point. The train bore down up
on McLaughry and struck him with
