Tom Stodghill, Only Logical
Candidate For Sheriff

The many things that commend big
Tom Stodghill to the favorable con-
sideration Of the voters of Wapello
county make it problem which to
emphasize most. The troublesome
times of Kelly's army visit, the rail
road strike Of 1894, and the exciting
period of the famous Eldon bank rob-
berry came during Tom Stodghill's ad-
ministration as sheriff, and his per-
Torrance of the duties of this i'm
portant Office during those times, per-
haps, commend him most favorably
to the voters. For three days Tom
Stodghill, who is as good natured as
he is long, had charge of the Kelly
forces, and despite the cause of their
being with out work and with barely
enough to exist on the vigil kept by
the sheriff and his deputies
was sufficient to squelch any
possible disturbance During the
railroad strike, too, Tom Stodghill's,
faithful enactment of the dll-
ties of his office was such that no
lawlessness was apparent. His work
in connection with experimenting the
Eldon robbers Is well known. In fur
Their recognition of his abilities and
faithfulness to duty, Sheriff Tom
stodghill was honored by the sheriffs'
association of Iowa in 1896, when he
was chosen president. During his en-
tire administration Mr.. Stodghill
lived in the county jail, where his
close surveillance prevented any un-
necessary noises and disturbances
among the prisoners, which recently
has been SO disagreeabe to residents
in that vicinity
Tom Stodghill was born in Wapello
county August 81, 1868, and received
his early education in the country

tial vote in 1892 for Benjamin Har-
rison and has been a stanch Repub-

quently for the present incumbent's
service in Office and will have great
weight with the voters this year, re-

land on either side of him. The wind
however. was blowing with the same
fury, and even as he reached the tiller,
and chung to it for support, big
wave broke over the stern Of the
smack, and nearly swept him off his

ecnoed through the cabin of the Hope
and Glory like a peal of thunder. Even
Tankerlane, half-dead with sickness,
and caring little whether he lived or
died, was reused from his apathy. and,
crawling from his bunk along the
floor, he gripped the ladder and pulled
himself to his feet.
What has happened?" cried Shil,
who knew something about the things
that can happen to boat. Has the
mast gone? We've carried away
something, and the boat has stopped.

planks What has happened"
He sat up in his bunk and stared
into his world of darkness. There was
a look of fear on his face. He had
but just come from the grip of the
sea, and he was afraid Of it. He
knew the terrors of the water, and the
last thing he had seen on earth was
the fury and the force of it.

Tankerlane, still keeping up his role
of sailor. You be safe as houses.

ing heavily from side to side. and, aft
er hard struggle, succeeded in fore

"Yardley." he cried, as he thrust his
head out into the open air. whats
happened? What was that noise?"
There was no reply to his question
But there was the sound Of canvass
cracking in the wind. and the hiss Of
waves as they sluiced past the boat IN
white lines of foam A spar thumped
heavily to and fro against the deck
"Playle,'' he shouted. now thorough
ly frightened "Playle, Yardley,
where are you? What has happen
ed?"
There was no answer to his cry but
the swish Of the waves and the thud
of the broken spar. 1t was pitch dark
save for the tiny lamp which shed its
light from the side lamps on the white
foam ahead. He crawled on to the
deck and made his way to the tille"
The stout piece of ash was rocking to
and fro, as the sea beat against the
rudder
"Playle, Yardley," he shrieked.

He chung to the tiller. and, looking
over the stern, saw the twinkle of the
Black Spit Buoy. Far ahead In the
distance. he saw other lights. and one,
though he knew it not, was stream
ing from the window of Dowsett's cot
tage. He noticed that both wind and
sea were behind him. and, recalling
the scraps of conversation he had
heard, he guessed that the boat had
rounded the Black Spit and was now
in the Darkwater. He remembered how
Yardley had reckoned the trip to the
buoy as the only serious part of the
voyage. After that It was to be plain
sailing, mere child's play-and yet
where were the two men? Had they
deserted him? Had they been swept
overheard? Either alternative seemed
impossible They had yet to be paid
for their work; and how could they
be swept overheard when it was all
plain sailing?
Tankerlane was no coward, but the
situation was we'll calculated to strike
terror into the heart of man who
knew nothing whatever about sailing.

Yardley winded the boat, as the safer
method of altering his course.
Then he handed over the tiller to
Playle The boat was now running be-
fore the wind and tide, and sailing al
most in the opposite direction to her
previous course She rose and fell on
the following seas with surge and
roar. Twas easy enough work for a
seaman with all his wits about him.
Yardley. cold, hungry and drenched
to the skin, made bis way to the main
hatch.
Keep her west-nor west he said,
s'and don't ZEE keep her dead before
the wind, or-God in Heaven!'
Before he could move or say an
other word, Playle's uncertain hand
had gybed the boat. The wind back
ed against the mainsail and the great
boom swung clean across the deck.
The next moment there was crash
Of splintering wood and a downward
rush of spar and rope and canvas. The
mast had stood, but the gaff had snap
ped in two, and the halliards had
parted, and the mainsail was in the
water.
And there was no one left OF the
deck Of the Hope and Glory.
