from a desire to see somebody after
weeks of confinement, one of the pa
TENTS, a man, ran across the field and

MANY IoWANs ARE VICTIMS.
Caught in Gigantic Land swindl
Worked BY a Texas Man.

Caught in Gigantic Land Swindle
Worked BY Texas Man.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, March 6.-Lon H Boyd
ston, agent for Texas land and paper
railroad company, has secured the ar
rest in Texas of ore Henry Russell,
president of the railway and general
manipulator OF several apparently
crooked deals. Russell is held charged
with cattle stealing, t,nbezzlement, OBJ
tanning money under false ,pretenses
and forgery by substitution.
The arrest of Russell brings to light
a stupendous land graft game worked
on the4people of Iowa. 1t is estimated
by Mr.. Boydston thai, the cash lost by
Iowa investors in Russelrs PROPOSE
lions will amount to nearly $500, 900.
In one town alone, Knoxville, Icwa,
there are more than $4,000 in dis
counted notes given by men who have
not thing to show for their vanish
ing cash.
Russell is now out on bail of $4,000,
which is thought to be a slight sum
considering the big sums involved in
the case. There exists restraining in
huence. however, in the person of one
Cicero Stewart, formerly sheriff of
Carlsbad, N. NJ, who has asserted that
if Russell jumps his pail he will follow
him to the ends Of the earth to bring
him to a summary justice in return for
a cleaning out he received at the lat
ter's hands.
High names are connected with Fsus-
sells affairs, tho without blame Par
ker Earle, ex president of the Horticul-
tural Society of the United States, and
Judge g. "A. Richardson, a prominent
jurist, are named as directors Of the
mythical railroad for which Russell
has secured the right of way across two
counties in the Panhandle and collected
subscription Of SIS 1000 besides. Just
how these two men came to be in the
matter is not known.
The act that brought Russelrs ac-
lions to light was the substitution of a
bogus deed for one that had been Sc
cured by George linn Of Knoxville,
Iowa for a section of land he bought
from Russell. Zinn paid $4,000 cash and
gave his note for the balance of So
$780, in exchange for clear title to
the land. The deed was deposited in
5OdAAA OF : Aa1ASASN. A1Sll 1Su'ooCI
went to the bank, asked TO see the
deed, and substituted one with $4,000
against it. When this debt came due,
linn was notified by the bank and
came to Des Moines to inquire of Mr..
Boydston what the trouble was. To-
gether, they went to Plainview and
made an investigation, which resulted
in the arrest Of Russell.

Special to Times Republican.
Muscatine, March 6.-AMuscatine peo-
pie are interested in the following
statement by Archbishop Keane, re-
garding the reported division of the
Davenport diocese:
you may say for me that there Is
absolutely no truth in the rumor that
the diocese Of Davenport is to be d.
vided," said Archbishop Keane in re-
Spouse to a query as to the authen-
ITCHY Of the report which is current
turnout Iowa" Such division is
as far away as 1t was 20 years age"
continued the archbishop. The holy
see has taken no action in the matter,
as there is absolutely nothing in the
report"
The report has been current for the
past month or since the death Of
Bishop Cosgrove.. that the diocese
would be divided. and that the head
of the new diocese would be lat Des
Moines. thus giving Dubuque three
suffrag gan sees, Davenport, Sioux City
and Des Moines.
The elevation of Omaha to an arch
bishopric has also been much talked
of, which report is also denied by the
Dubuque metropolitan.

erland and Professor Robert N. Van
Horne, of Morningside college, have
just secured a patent on an automatic

tening couple of lengths Of hose. The
work is done automatically by a meth
cd similar to the one now used in
