Tonsorial Story is Being Told
Which Has Continued Chap.
ter Yet to be
Given.
HE SWITCHED RAzoRs
keokuk Shaver is said to be Ii
able to Arrest and Pun
ishmcnt For Opening
Package.

Here is the latest news from the
barber shop, vouched for as being the
truth and reported to be but the be-
ginning of hat promises to be case
in the United States court for viola
ton of the postal laws.
1t is said that several days ago a
keokuk barber sent number of
razors away to have them fixed up at
the factory, sending the articles in
a package by mail.
Shortly afterwards, the razors were
repaired and returned to the owner,
being sent back to Keokuk by mail
again.
Through some mistake, the mail car
rier left the package at the barber
shop of another than the owner and
this barber is said to have opened the
package although not addressed to
him.
Then he is said to have shifted
razors and sent the package to its
rightful owner
After some negotiations, the man
got his own razors back, but that is
only the beginning of the story.
An Indictment.
He told about the trick played upon
him and is reported to have told it
to the United States marshal who ask.
ed for the wrapping paper which was
about the package and took it as an eX
hibit, leaving town to appear before
the grand jury of the federal court
and have an Indictment brought
, against one of the Keokuk BARRIERS for
opening mail which did not belong tc
him.
And so, if everything turns out as
predicted in the story, a Keokuk ton
1 serial artist Is likely to be arrested
almost any d.y now and carried of
| to the nearest U. S. commissioner
under Indictment of monkeying with
| the United States mails, a rather ser
/ ious offense.
Developments will be watched /,
this case with great interest.

HOBO
BREAKS OUT OF JAIL

II would appear that business is
picking up in Pirtleyille from the fact
that a new wholesale liquor dealer az
tempted to start business there yes
terday. Papers taken from him indi-
cate that he was a hobo tough, show
ing phony jewelry and stealing on the
side.
The firm of Imsland & Son has been
missing case goods of late, and yes
terday Mr.. Hobo took a sack contain
ing % quart bottles of case liquors to
Bert Sands at his place Of business in
Pfrtleville and sought TO deliver the
goods There was enough rock and
rye in the lot to cure four hundred
colds, cause a hundred fights, four
suicides and five murders, but Mr..
Sands tumbled to the fact that 1t was
stolen in the first place and as Mr.. Ho-
DO had not produced a wholesale
license in the second place, declined
10 negotiate. About this time Officer
Young Davis happened along and put
the wine merchant under arrest.
He was placed In jail and during the
night tore the essential lining out OF
that imposing edifice. taking the other
inmates g Mexicans) and hitting the
high places.
IL they don't fix that jail up better
than before somebody is liable to
break In and steal the Stop bucket one

APPARENTLY PARKER
CAN'T GET OFFICE
Phoenix Man Who Wants to
Be Register Phoeniy Land
Office Has Troubles.

PHOENIX, Sept 1S.-Frank H. Par
ker, who failed to be reelected secre-
tary of the Salt River Valley Water
Users Association e. the last election
of that organization, wants to succeed
Lyman J. Wakefield as register or
the Phoenix land office.
With as much secrecy as possible,
Parker is bending every effort toward
getting the Job, but those on the IN
side in republican circles say he
stands little or no show to land the
plum, which will go to some one high
er in the confidence OF the republican
party.
By wire and letter Parker is said
to have duplicated the powers that
be in Washington, D. c., to give him
the Job because of past services he
has rendered his party which consist
mostly of having served on the ter,
ritorial board of equalization.
Prior to the recent territorial con-
vention, Parker was one of General A.
], SIMPSONS mainstays, and since
Sampson failed and Ralph H. Cameron
succeeded, the latter's friends feel
that Parker has not Deen half as in
terested in the campaign of Cameron
as he was in the nomination of Mr.
Sampson.
Leading Arizona republicans have
become rather wary or mixing in land
office affairs on account of the no
toriety that attaches 70 the once OF
some of the officials not lnrrequenriy
To mix in the land Office politics Is
considered an invitation TO trouble.
Charles Arnold, who could undoubt
edly have the place II he said the
word, is not a candidate for the ap
| pointment, and when asked today said
| that he has not made application fol-
| the place nor does he intend to.
Wakefield, who recently rendered
his resignation to President Roosevelt
was appointed by the latter on the
recommendation of United States
Marshal Ben Daniels of Tucson.
