TAKES MANTZ
TO THE PEN
SHERIFF JACKSON AND PRISON,
Err GO TO FORT MADISON -
OTHER COURT NEWS

Sheriff w. w. Jackson left this aft
ernoon on Burlington No. 6 for Fort
Madison, having in charge Bill Mantz,
the horse thief who was yesterday
morning sentenced to two and one-haif
years in the penitentiary by Judge 9.
w. Vermilion.
Bill's case has attracted an unusual
amount of attention. The horse steal
ing first came to the attention of the
when a horse belonging to the Lowen-
berg Bros bakery was stolen from
that firms barn.
A little while later valuable ami
NAL belonging to DR.. ]. B. Wilson was
found missing and it developed that it
too was stolen. The last attempt was
made when the barn belonging to ]
B. Mowery was broken into and a
horse and some harness stolen. This
last theft was destined to be the final
one. The next day Mantz, riding the
stolen animal, was captured and
brought back to Ottumwa. Later Bill
told Sheriff Jackson where he had dis
posed of the other two horses, admit
ting that he had sold them but claim
ing that four other men had been I'M
plicated in the thefts.
Sheriff Jackson recovered the Low
enbcrg horse and Detective John Gray
ana Dr. wilson recovered the phys1-
clans animal. Then came Mantz's ia
nous second confession in which he
told Detective Gray and County Attor-
ney Seneca Cornell he had turned the
tricks all by himself However, with
in day or so Mantz again switched
and denied this statement, claiming
that when he made it he was not IN
his right mind.
About this stime, to complicate mat
ters Lowenbefg and Coen, Nantes at
torneys, announced that they would
plead insanity as a defence when the
case came to trial.
When the grand jury returned its
first report for the March term there
were four indictments against Mantz
three charging larceny and one bur
glary. The three larceny indictments
represented the three thefts and tho
burglary indictment charged tina.
Mantz had broken into tho Mowery
barn to secure the harness that was
taken.
Mantz pleaded guilty to the larceny
OF the Lowenbery and Mowery horses
and the other. two charges will be dis
missed. Yesterday the court SEN

In his statement before the judge.
Mantz stuck to his first confession
saying that there had been four other
men concerned in the thefts, their por-
ton of the crimes being to secure the
animals and his being to dispose of
them.
The four men whom Mantz impli-i
Gated are named Whitney, Morris,
Hourrihan and Grendal1l Sheriff
jackson stated this morning that at
this time at least there was no evil
dence to connect these men with the
crimes, further than Nantes unsup-

UPSHAW'S BRILLIANT LECTURE.
Large Audience at Opera House Well
Entertained.

With little more than one days an
nouncement. and following next night
after Ralph Bingham's lyceum date,
Will ID. Upshaw lectured to a magnifi-
cent crowd at the Opera House last
night.
He was presented in graceful
speech by Professor Billiard, of the
Furlow High School and the lecture
was accompanied by charming must
cal selections by Miss Buchanan and
Prof. Mcneil
Mr.. Upshaw's lecture, Climbing
Upward" abounded in wit and beauti-
full eloquence, keeping his audience
swinging between laughter and pathos.
In the course of his lecture he congrat-
ulated Americas on climbing up
ward" herself, and said she would
climb faster if she would hurry up and
build that Y. NJ. C. A. building and
erect that new temple of education
with an auditorium that will seat one
thousand people, holding all the school
children and the parents and citizens
who love to see them on all great occa-
sions in the educational life of Ameri-
Gus.

COLLEGE,
College.

ties comprising it the people are inter
ested therein. Thousands would at
tend such ceremonial here, and Amer
icus would welcome the greatest gath
ering ever within her gates.
The proposition should, and doubt
less will, meet the enthusiastic approu-
al of the people of Sumter.
Hundreds right here in Sumter have
never inspected the beautiful grounds
and farm upon which the college,
wherein their sons and daughters will
be educated, will soon be reared.
1t would afford them no little pleas
ure to thus do so.
1t would be a reunion of the people
OF the district, and the occasion could
be made memorable one for Ameri-
Gus. A great basket picnic and barbe-
cue could be made feature of the day,
and to this. the people of county and
town alike would contribute.
Chairman Daniel is pleased at the sug
gestion of such occasion, and will con-
suit with representative citizens of the
county to that end.
The Times Recorder will pledge the
hearty cooperation of the citizens OF
Americas, who ever extend a welcome
to our people of this section to come as
her guests. 1t is expected that the sug-
gestion of the Committee will take def
mite shape very soon.
The Committee transacted no other
business yesterday. Work at the col
lege grounds has been delayed by lack
of material which is just beginning to

New Line, Atlanta to Birmingham,

A new line to Birmingham with
schedules that will be at least an
hour faster.
Such is the plan that is being con-
sidered by the Southern railway, ac-
cording to what is believed to be relia-
BILE information.
Although the total mileage from At
lanta to Birmingham is only l67 miles
it requires a schedule of nearly six
hours for the fastest trains of the road.
This is due to the sharp curves and
steep grades that are between there and
the Alabama city.
1t will be necessary to change the
line of the road the greater part of the
way between the two cities, to straight
en- out the curves and lower the grades
and while it is possible that the dis
lance may be increased as far as actual
mileage goes on account of detouring
from the present line, the schedules
will be shortened.
1T is understood that the estimated
cost of the new line will be between
&c, 100000 and $4,000, 900, according to
the new line that has been surveyed.

1t Is proposed to make the LAYING of
the TOMBSTONE of the Third district ag-
rieultural college an occasion of inter
est to the people of the district, and as
semble in Americas one of the largest
and most representative throngs gather
ed here in number of years.
The Executive Committee of the
Board of Trustees has so suggested.
And if the suggestion thus made
meets general approval they will go to
work to that end and arrange for gala
occasion in Americas, to take place at
an early date in May.
The Executive committee met in
Americas yesterday, all the members
being present except Mr.. Matthews of
Houston. The subject of corner stone
laying was discussed at length, togeth-
er with the idea of making it a public
occasion of interest to the people of the
district
Without formulating any plans, the
Committee referred the matter to Chair
man j. I'll. Daniel to ascertain public
opinion thereupon. If the citizens of
Americus and Sumter wish it, and will
provide the means, the Committee will
arrange gala day here.
The Masonic fraternity throughout
the district would be invited to partici-
pate in the ceremonies, while Gov. Ter
rell, Congressman Lewis and other
distinguished people would be invited
here.
The college belongs to the Third dis
trict and throughout the fourteen coun-

SURGEONS NOW STUDYING RABIES
Opinions Are Expressed Regarding
This Disease.

AS the warm season approaches,
Americas people, as usual, will see
visions of mad dogs in every dieting
fee and peripatetic pointer pup pass
ing. Doctors, as rule, are divided
on the subject of mad dogs, and the
question of whether the CANNES that
have been charged with madness dur
ing the last few weeks were guilty is a
much mooted one.
The disease is one which must be
passed from one dog to another or
from one animal to another. 1t cant
be carried through the air like other
germ diseases. 1t is more or less pre-
valent all the time and we hear of new
cases every little while. 1t does not
die out altogether.
A strange thing about it is that it
does not appear in any one season of
the year more than at any other. The
summer time is no more likely to
show more cases of the rabies than the
winter, 1t just happens that large
number of cases may occur in one sea-
son in this year and next year not ione-
tenth so many.
When suffering from dumb rabies a
dog loses control of it's lower jaw and
can't bite.
Doctors find the germ in the base OF
the dogs brain and in some. places
along the spine. So many peple lseem
to think that the best thing to do when
dog has bitten person is to kill the
deg, The best thing to do is to pre-
serve the dog. Pen it up for two or
three weeks and wait for develop
ments.
The public ought to remember that.
