OFFICER MADE PRISONER.
Boone Deputy Goes on Spree in Des
Moines.

Moine4.
Des Moines, Jan. 23.-Plying his
prisoner, a "dipso" candidate enroute
to the Knoxville asylum, with robust
doses of rye and bourbon until the
man was willing captive, and then
locking him in a room to make doubly
certain that he would be present when
needed, e. Erickson, who said that he
was deputy from Boone county, pro-
ceeded to assemble a jag on his own
account. He reckoned without the Des
Moines police however, and captor was
made prisoner and spent several hours
in the bum cell yesterday afternoon.
Erickson arrived in Des Moines with
his prisoner early yesterday morning.
He had money in his pocket. the city
white elephant on his hands. What to
do with the whisky advocate in his
charge was burning question. The
simplest method out of his difficulties
came to him in a flash. He would
make the Knoxville eligible drunk.
Acting in accordance with the mas
terful scheme that had evolved itself
in the emergency, Erickson asked his
prisoner to take drink with him.
With thoughts to the many, many dry,
boozeless days ahead of him, the whis-
kyfied stranger accepted the first invi-
tation. He accompanied his custodian
to place of ardent drinks. He i'm
bibed freely and without cost to him.

was happy. Then the police got him.

ness. 1t was found that the company
had lost about $50 on last years bus
mess, to say nothing about paying in
terest on its indebtedness. The main
cause of the loss to the company re-
suited thru the advance in the price
of gasoline. Last year when the COM
pany made the price of gas $1.75 per
thousand, gasoline was selling for tic
per gallon, today it is Csc per gallon,
and still advancing. Under the circum-
stances the company has been COM

The neighborhood in the vicinity Of
the Glucose Sugar Refining company's
factory was aroused about IL: 80 o.
clock Sunday morning by the falling
Of the big smokestack at the plant.
The high wind which blew gale
all during the night was more than
the big stack could stand, and after
battling the borean blast for some
time, it gave way a short distance
above the roof and fell almost it's en-
tire length into Division street. Part
of the debris blew over into the City
cemetery. A few of the smaller
headstones were crushed but as the
stack only fell about 80 feet inside the
fence, the damage was fortunately not
as great as it might have been.

The board of supervisors held spec

view of getting the shortage of the
late NJ. Priester settled without re-
sort to the courts The board made
an effort to settle with the estate on
payment of $4,000. This offer was
considered by the estate, and an Of
fer of $2,250 was made which was re-
jected by the board. The shortage
amounts to $4,000 for the seven years
Mr.. Priester was a member, but should
the matter be taken to court the stat
ute of limitations would bar all but
the fast three years. The board Is sat
isfied that $500 will not cover the
three years shortage, but is anxious
to have an amicable settlement with
out resort to the courts, If possible.

simply a game of freeze out. Possessed
of vast surplus taken from policy
holders, they are spending lot of
money to deter others from suing, and
in the hope that they can wear Kirk
patrick out and compel him to settle
for nominal sum.
1t is simply another illustration of
the difficulties that lie in the way of
a man of limited means securing JUS
tice from a corporation of unlimited
means. The trouble is not with the
judge nor with the jury, nor with our
legal procedure. 1t simply comes from
the innate cussedness of the rich
scoundrel.

Tho Two Families Who Occupied the

Dry Explanation of tho Phenomenon
Has Been Reached.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Jan. ga haunted
house is one of the exciting themes
of interest in this city just at the pres
ent time, and so real is the visit of the
spirit that two families who occupied
the building, have moved, and have
secured other residences as far as pos
sible from the neighborhood of the
former home.
Mrs. Henry Howard, one of the resi-
dents, testifies that she saw a silver
funnel enter the room, which was &C.
companied by singing of Rock Of
Ages" and which was the signal OF
a deluge Of water over her sleeping
apartments. At the same time this
mysterious vision was accompanied by
the moving of chairs from the sides of
the room, clinking of glasses and other
strange and unholylnoises. Mrs. George
Smith, who lived in another part of the
same building, was equally alarmed,
tho she did not see the funnel, but had
an ocular demonstration of the water.
The bedding of the families was soak
ed, and the wall paper came off and
fell to the floor in sodden mass.
The neighbors testify to the presence
OF the water and to having assisted
the Howard and Smith families in re-.
moving and drying their clothes, the
following morning. An examination
has been made by the owner of the
building and he declares there is no
visible way in which the presence of
the dash of water can be accounted for.
The roof is water proof and snow
or ice could not enter. The building
is the Mecca of scores of visitors every
day, who tell varied and singular stor-
les of what they saw. 1t still remains
a mystery.

Swea City, Jan. a. j. Warrick, the
Bancroft contractor, has just unload

machines that ever came into the state
This machine is to be used on the
Kossuth county drain number three,
and is the third thing machine shipped
to this point. Mud creek drainage dis
trict, extending over thirty miles thru
Kossuth county, has been established
and the drainage committee has gone
over the proposed route and allowed
damages. The allowances made were
not satisfactory to II majority of the
property owners, who appealed to the
board of supervisors for adequate
damages. The supervisors have since
gone over the district, and it is ex-
pected that they will do the right
thing. The successful completion Of
this drain means great deal to the
northern part of this county, and it is
expected the land will advance in price
here very materially, as soon as the
benefits from this drain are realized by
the people generally.

EXPERTS HAVE UPPER HAND.
Supervisors and County Losers in the
Game at Davenport.

0dInS at davenport
Special to Times-Republican.
Davenport, Jan. 23.-The supervisors
and county seem to be the losers in a
little game with a stage of $4,000 that
the board of supervisors promised to
pay Norwich, Mitchell & Co., for aud
iting the county books, played in the
court house within the last two days.
Several days ago a special meeting
of the board of supervisors was called
for this afternoon and while it was
not noised about it has been stated
on good authority that the meeting
was for the purpose of taking some
action in regard to the contract for
auditing the county books which is to
cost $4,000. Quietly as it was kept
however, the news seems to have
drifted beyond Davenport and to have
reached Chicago
Whether it was this news or not
that invigorated the Chicago firm is
not known, but at any rate j. G.

Davenport unexpectedly yesterday and
