MAY BE PROSECUTED.
Andrew Layton Violated the Law
When He Attem ptedlSuieide.


Andrew Layton, when he attempted
to take his own life last Sunday, COM
mitted an offense against the laws of
the state punishable by imprisonment in
the state penitentiary, unless he was
insane. 1t is likely that steps will be
taken before night to-have him either
arrested on the charge of attempting sui.
eide or cited to appear before the pro-
bate court to be examined as to his
sanity.
His relatives have been communicated
with in order to notify them of his
condition, but they have not sent for
him, and in view of the circumstances,
County Attorney Plymat believes that
something should be done to restrain
him from any further attempts upon
his life.

McElhaney, Who Escaped
From the Sheriff.
MAY BE NEAR WEBSTER CITY
His Career Is Saturated With Crime;
Paramour is in a Factory at
Waterloo.

Webster City, Iowa, Jan. 29.-The
Webster city officials have found no
trace of Jay McElhaney, the bandit who
while handcuffed and on his way to the
penitentiary, bolted through the car
window of moving train at Shakopee
and made good his escape from the Min
nesota sheriff who had him in charge.
That the man is in this immediate vi
cinity is known, for he spent whole
day at the Peter Keough farm, north
of the city. The Keoughs, however, made
no report of his presence, claiming to
the officers that they did not know the
man was wanted.
McElhaney has had what is perhaps
the most sensational career of three
months duration that a criminal has
had in Iowa for some years, and the
police will bend every effort to land
him again behind the bars. Last summer
McElhaney was respectable farm hand
employed at the Ed Foster farm, north
of this city. Today he is criminal,
an outlaw and home wrecker. While
at the Foster farm McElhaney alienated
the affections of Mrs. Foster, and one
night the guilty pair eloped.
They were gone about month, when
both returned to the city. McElhaney
had been unable to support his para
l.
home of her parents in Cass township.
Her husband in the meantime had Sc
cured divorce. Leaving the woman
with her people, McElhaney took to the
| woods and cornfelds. Mrs. Foster kept
him supplied with eatables and informa-
| ton as to what action the officers were
taking to apprehend him. The man be-
came overly bold when his arrest became
| probable, and began series of actions
which terrorized the whole community
Many farmers were held up at night at
the very point of a revolver, and in a
number of cases people returning home
late at night were fired upon. Thefts
were committed nights, confined mostly
to things taken from the farmers barns.
Finally, in sheer desperation, posse of
determined officers and farmers drove
| the bandit from the township, but fail
ed to effect his capture. He fled north,
vicinity to gain the company of his
and was next heard from when arrested
at Mankato. He had been working for
farmer near there, and while the fam
lily was away from home had robbed
the house of $3.50 in cash. He was tried
and sentenced to five years in the pen.
itentiary.
While on the way to the penitentiary
at Saltwater he made sensational es-
cape from the train while it was going
Gaining permission to 60 to the closet
he bolted through the window and when,
fifteen minutes later, his absence was
noted, he had made his getaway" It
is supposed that he has returned to this
former paramour, who is now employed
in factory in Waterloo. She will be
kept under police surveillance.

Poultry Exhibit Is Success
full in Everyday.
PULLETS MAKE HIGH SCORE
J. W. koiIman's Birds Given the Best
Points; Proud Turkey Owned
BY Frank Koenen.
From Saturdays Daily.


The annual poultry show of the Gen.
Misunderstanding association is prov
| ing a drawing card, and the attendance
is larger than at any previous show neld
in the city. Some sales are being made
to those who have come for the purpose
of selecting stock with which to improve
their yards.
Last year there were great many va
| cant coops, but now every coop is taken,
and the din of the ROSTERS growing and
the geese honking is something deafen-
ing. A person has to have voice like
fog horn to be heard in such an up
roar
Entries have been made from as far
away as Chatfeld, WinOna and La
Crosse, Wis.,, while most nearer towns
are represented. Eight coops arrived
from Chatfield too late to be Judged by
Mr.. Holden, but they will be judged by
Fred Fisher, who is we'll posted on the
points of fowl. Other birds were de-
layed by snow in the northern part of
| the state.
The biggest and proudest bird in the
bunch is a bronze turkey entered by
Frank Koenen of this city and weighing
forty and half pounds. The biggest
rooster is light brahma, weighing
twelve pounds.
The highest score made in the judging
was 95, and this was on some pullets
entered by j. w. HOLMAN. Mr.. Kohl
man entered twenty -one birds and they
all scored over 90, which is something re-
markable.
Mrs. E. McGrath of st. Peter, who is
veteran and successful grower of poul-
try, has won the cup for having the most
birds entered scoring over aoa This is
the cup offered by the Standard Brewing
company. She has also won the cup
offered by the Plymouth Gypsum COM
pany for the largest display of white
wyandottes.
J. w. HOLMAN has won the associa-
ton cup for the highest scoring two
colored variety. His birds are the laced
Indian games.
Exhibits that are out of the ordinary
and that attract the attention of all are
the Monaghan pheasants from Highland
park, strange varieties of ducks and
geese, groundhogs, ferrets, Dummies, etc.
One of the most interesting features
of the exhibit is the incubators at work.
These were filled with eggs at the right
time so that they would hatch out dur
ing the chicken show, and the little
chicks have been coming out ever since
the show began. They are a cute bunch
of down with bright eyes shining out,
and attract the attention of all. They
crowd around each other for sympathy,
having no mother to crowd under except
the big one of galvanized iron and red
painted wood, which is all right as far
as it goes and does great things in the
way of Matching out the eggs. Still one
cannot but feel for the little orphans
that will never know the delights of
running with the mamma bird while she
scratches in the ground for worms and
bugs and teaches them all the family
secrets that have been handed down
from generation to generation, how to
avoid hawks and rats, how to lay the
biggest eggs, how to fight and when to
run, and all the lore that offspring CLEAN
from the mother bird.
The show closes tomorrow evening.

LAYTON SENT AWAY
He 10 Shipped by the County to Duluth
Relatives.

From Saturdays Daily.
Andrew Layton left this afternoon for
Duluth, where he has brother and sis
ter. A complaint as to his sanity was
made out yesterday, but Judge Hughes
had talk with him and concluded that
he was perfectly sane. Then there was
talk of getting out complaint charg-
ing him with the crime of having at.
tempted suicide, but it was finally
thought best to send him to Duluth, and
County Commissioner Young purchased
him ticket and he was placed upon
the 4:45 p m. train. The officials did
not want him to remain uncared for,
fearing that he would make another at.
tempt upon his life.

Los Angeles herald., 1907-09-01

Thereupon arose a discussion in
which there was considerable acri-
mony, and In which the seventh man
held his own against the six so well
that one of them finally resorted to
bluff and said:
There Is way to prove your con-
tentiOn. Turn 'Raffles' and give us
the honest results of the expert
ment."
There are six Of you," slowly re-
piled the young man. "Ill lay you
100 each that enter some house
within week as 'Raffles' and
bring to this club some article that
YOU will all recognize"
"Donel Done! Done!" was shout
ed at him from all sides, and with a
laugh he rose and left the club to
keep an engagement.
The family of Gen Burney, occu-
pying manor house ten miles out
of the city, consisted of the general
and his wife, both of whom were we'll
along in years, their son Fred, who
was in an insurance office In the
city, and Eaa..t.hls, who had finished
her education at Vassar and had
returned home to wait the great
event in the life of every young
woman, matrimony.
Raffles had visited the house to
the east and the west, but had de-
ferred his call on the general. There
was plunder there, but 1t was taken
by the general to signify that the
robber was afraid to tackle an old
veteran of the wars, who had turned
the family bedroom into an armory
and had had the house rugged out
with all sorts of burglar alarms and
electric bells and traps for the un-
wary.
Some young ladies, while waiting
for Prince Charming, turn to poetry.
Others write play. Miss Edith had
had the plot of comedy-drama in
her head ever since she was 10 years
old. Tie time had now arrived to
develop It,.
For a month she had been resting
and thinking all day and working
with her pen until IL or 1 O'Clock at
night.
There came particular night
when she was bothered more than
usual. She had. brought her hero
under such cloud of suspicion that
it seemed as If his career must end
in his being dubbed by a policeman
and dragged to Jail, and the girl was
thinking deeply when slight noise
behind her made her turn.
She turned to see "Raffles." She
was in the library on the first floor,
and father, mother, brother and SER
wants were all on the second and
third, sound asleep.
Raffles was masked, but there
was no trouble in figuring out that
he was not the hired man who had
