VERY "T0UCHING" STORY

Henry Ballad reported to the police
Thursday morning that he was
touched Wednesday night on Third
South street, near Franklin avenue, by
n colored woman, who secured a roll of
$14j from one of his pockets.
In telling the police about the affair,
Ballad said the colored woman lurcd
him into dark alley and then reached
her hand into his pocket, got hold Of
the money and ran. The woman lodged
into a dark alley, and although he at
tempted to find her, his hunt was fruit
less. The police can find no clue.

about 1O:3O in the Iowa river. He had
been skating near the Iowa avenue

darkness beneath the bridge. Plunged
in the icy water. he struggled vainly to
save himself. but before aid could
reach him his body had disappeared.
The body was recovered about
o'clock this morning. The hole where
he met his death was about the only
one within mile. Watkins was the
son of the well known pioneer STOCK
dealer and meat market proprietor.

Little more than one-half of the
normal vote of the city was polled
and the plan might have had small
chance of winning had not the rumor
been circulated that in the event II
did pass saloon licenses, would be
raised. When this became heralded
about the saloon men became active
with the result that every precinct
in the city but three declared against
the measure.
Another feature that contributed to
the defeat of the bill was the fact
that 1t was known as the 'Des Motnes

export felt that anything coming
from Des Moines must necessarily be
bad so votedsSagainst its adoption.
West Davenport, largely populated
by Germans. was thought to besex-

Des Mones, -jan. 13.-An interesting
story sprung Saturday is that former
Lieutenant Governor John Herriott is
seriously considering being candidate
for state auditor to succeed b. +. car
roll Herriott lives In Guthrie coun-
tv, the same county as Senator Frank
Hopkins. who is also an avowed can
ddate for auditor Hopkins. who has
long been an important wheel In the
Cummins machine led in the move
ment which two years ago prevented
Herriott. as a, candidate for governor,
from getting the delegation from his
own county. Herriott's friends have
never forgotten the humiliation. They
say furthermore that local endorse
ment will not necessarily be important
under the primary law, and ms
chances will be as good as Hopkins.
