Abba, Aug. 16.-An attempt to break
into the residence of George w. Car
mean. druggist of the city, resulted
in the capture of Dee Pettyjohn of
Charlton. The man protests that he is
innocent of any wrong intentions and
produces letter signed by ]. B. Ham
mond. of Des Moines. superintendent OF
the Law and Order league of the state,
in which is cited the cases wherein
the defendant has been used as tool
in locating illegal liquor joints and the
getting of fee from Hammond and q
local attorney named Price for the part
he had taken in the matter. There
have been over 100 injunction cases in
the courts of Monroe county within the
past few months and this is taken as an
explanation as to where the evidence
comes from. The letter advises Petty
john to see Mr.. Price and make all ar
rangements with him about the division
of fees that would come from such
cases. The Law and Order league
and the Anti Saloon league were sup
posed to be at "outs" in this county and
it adds new interest to the case to see
attorneys for both sides using such a
man for such business.

Clad in flowing white garment with
hair streaming behind her and the gas

the ghost rider had excited a good deal
Of interest as we'll as fright. Several at
tempts made to follow the rider had
failed because the bicycle always dis
appeared.
Last night, a policeman attracted by
crash and scream. ran around a
corner and solved the mystery. He
found a young and pretty girl clad in
a thin nightdress which had suffered
severely when the wheel she was riding
struck a brick. The girl was dazed,
but told the policeman where she lived
He escorted her home and startled her
father, well known merchant. who
thought his daughter was safe in bed.
The girl said she had no recollection
Of her night rides. She had been fitting
about the streets on her wheel and in
her nightdress asleep.
