which may be assigned to the disap-
pearance Of the machines, for none
was to be found in cigar, drug, candy
or fruit stores or restaurants this

inevitably follow, the dealers Monday
decided to quietly give way before the
law, and after q conference 1t was
agreed that the machines would be re-
moved Because they have been re-

Escaped Member Of Eldora Reform
School Sought by Police.
The police Monday night were look
ing for an escaped member of the Iowa
Reform School for Boys at Eldora,
word Of the escape having been fur
nished headquarters Monday night.
The boy, Hooks by name, ran away
from Eldora Monday forenoon. One
reason why the school officials are es-
pecially anxious to find him is because
Of the fact that he was entrusted with
one Of the finest teams the institution
owns, and left the horses, with q heavy
load Of coal attached, when he skipped
out. The animals, when the lines
were thrown down from the drivers
hands over their backs, became fright
ened and ran away. Fortunately the
load was so heavy that they did not do
any damage, but they overheated
themselves, and great care Is being ta-
ken to prevent them becoming ILL.,
Hooks ran away from the institution
once before and was captured here.
His home is in Des Moines, and he is
20 years old.
