tax of $4,000 and a stock subscrip-
ton Of $4,000 will be subscribed. A
corresponding amount has been sub
seribed at Emmetsburg and a large
amount of stock has already been
placed with farmers, principally be-
tween this city and the northern ter
minal. Nearly all of the right of way
has been donated by farmers.
A New York construction company
has submitted proposition which will
probably be accepted and actual work
will be begun as soon as the weather
permits The construction OF the line,
which will connect with the Fort
Dodge, Des Moines & Southern cleo
trio, will give a continuous route from
Des Moines to Emmetsburg, a distance
of 152 miles, or the longest electric line
in the west.
The interurban between this city
and Des Moines, which was completed
last fall, has been the means of adj
vancing the valuations of farm lands
contiguous to it on an average of $40
an acre.
The plan contemplates the extension
next year from Emmetsburg to Spirit
Lake, a distance of forty miles.

About midnight they were awakened

he had wrapped about him, burn

the flames, but did not succeed until
fatal burns had been inflicted.
The only plausible explanation of
the accident was disclosed when the
broken pieces of lamp that had been
left burning in the sick chamber were
found lying in the yard. 1t is pre-

gotten out of bed, and that In his
weakened condition he had upset the
lamp and had then thrown 1t out of.

Story County Grand Jury Returns Big
Batch of indictments, Including Sew
eraI Against Ames Men - One of
Present Jurors Among Accused-A--
rested While on Duty.
Special to Times-Republican.

| Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, April 9.-The Story county
grand jury reported a big grjst of in
dictments yesterday and adjourned fol
/ the term. Among the indictments
found was one against l.. c. Stebbens
term, and who was placed under ar
rest while sitting as juror in a case
on trial. The case was permitted to
proceed with eleven jurors.
The indictments made public are:
Lester Burrell upon charge of forg-
cry, another upon a charge Of break
ing and entering building and a
third upon charge of cheating by
false pretenses; l.. G. Gossard, for
breaking and entering, and second
one for larceny; l.. C. Stebbins of
Washington for sodomy; and William
larceny.
Burrell has been in Jail for some
weeks, having been brought over to
serve a thirty day Jail sentence for
stealing some goods from buggy
standing on the streets Of Ames. He
is the same man who was one time
indicted for making a murderous as
sault upon the person of County At
torney Mccall, but afterwards got out
Of the deal. Evidence in these last
charges has been piling up against
him for some time and from the evil
dence before the grand jury there is
little likelihood of the state not Sc
curing a conviction against the man
in at least one of the charges.
Gossard is one of the young men
who was brought over from Kelley
last week charged with breaking and
entering freight car in the yards at
that place. The other man, Holland,
who was implicated afterwards by
evidence furnished by Gossard. was
released at the time on $1,000 bonds
and if any indictment was returned
against him he has not been placed
under arrest as yet.
Wilson and Gillespie are the two
men who were brought over from
Ames couple of months ago charged
with having entered the room of
a neighbor, Hank VanScoy, and stolen
some clothing, tools and other prop
erty. Both had previously borne
good regulations and as it appeared
to be a case of drunken brawl and
little appearance of a voluntary GRIM
inal act on their part, the grand jury
brought in an Indictment for petit lar
ceny, rather than breaking and enter
ing. The latter charge would have
meant sut least five years in the pen
itentiary for the men. They plead
guilty to the charge and were sem
fenced to serve five days in the coun-
ty Jail They have already served
about sixty days in Jail.
