BEN THOMPSON, MT. PLEASANT
~ LAD. ACCUSED OF SHOOTING
& INTO BURLINGTON TRAIN
HAS BEEN IN JAIL
HERE In OITUMWA
Was Taken to Henry County City Last
Evening by sheriff-Mind May Be
Affected-MaiI Clerk Had Marrow
Escape.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Ben Thompson, aged 81 years, who
has been in the Ottumwa city Jail for
the past few days serving sentence
for drunkenness, was taken to Mt.
Pleasant last evening, where he has
been charged with shooting into Bur
lington train, No. 6, on Saturday, Jan
uary S.
1t will be remembered that on that
day, just after No. 6 left Mt Pleasant,
q shot was fired into the mail car Of
the train, just missing one of the mail
clerks, who but moment before had
been standing directly in the path Of
the bullet. The clerk sprang to the
wsndaw. and it is said saw young
Thompson with a gun in his hand,
standing near the track
On last Wednesday Thompson was
arrested in this city on the charge Of
drunkenness and was sentenced to ten
days in Jail. The police soon discov-
cred his identity with the Mt. Pleasant
youth who was supposed to have fred
into the train. Special Agent of the
Burlington James M. Harrison was no
titled and came to Ottumwa to identify
Thompson. Saturday Mr.. Harrison
filed charges against the youth at Mt.
Pleasant, chaging him with the shoot
Ing. Sheriff M e. Campbell Of Henry
county, arrived in Ottumwa yesterday
and last evening left with his prisoner
for Mt. Pleasant on Burlington No. 4.
Mind May be Affected.
1t is said that Thompson's mind may
be affected and that he has made
threats to kill his own relatives at Mt.
Pleasant. 1t is stated on authoritive
information that Thompson on one &C
caslon chased his mother through their
home at the point of gun He was
examined by the board of commission
ers for the insane of Henry county
rev weeks ago, but the board took no
action on his case at that time. How
ever, the local police believe that he
will be placed in the asylum at Mt.
Pleasant instead OF receiving Grim
lnal sentence, provided he is found
guilty of firing into the train.
When a reporter questioned Thomp.
son at the train last evening, lie
seemed sane enough. He denied doing
the shooting and said that he was not
near the spot where the shot is said
to have been fired on that day He
stated that his age is 81, but from his
appearance one would believe him
much younger. The sight of a slight
youth, almost boy, in handouts, at
tracted considerable attention at the
Union depot last evening.
