From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Patrolman Prevulslly made what is
considered an important arrest at the
Milwaukee junction this morning
when he nabbed an alleged hotel thief
who, 1t is said, has a record, and who
served five years In the Fort Madison
penitentiary for stealing an overcoat
at Osceola, less than six years ago.
The man gave his name as Hesse, but
also goes by the name of Schultz.
Hesse is believed to be the man want
ed at Chil!icothe, Mo-, for the theft of
an overcoat from the Leeper hotel in
that city on February 4.
A description of the coat and man
had been sent to Chief Gallagher Inn
mediately after the theft at Chillicothe
and yesterday the coat was located In
pawn shop In this city, where the
thief had realized So on 1t. The And
ing of the coat caused the officers to
watch the railroad stations carefully
and they were rewarded for their dill
gence this morning when Patrolman
Prevulsky arrested Hesse at the juno
ton, as he was about to board train
for Washington.
Coat Found Hero.
The IS which had been borrowed on
the coat was forwarded to Chief Gala
CHER bv the chief Of police at Chilli
Gothic and the coat was sent to Chilli
Colhe touay W express, out DerOre the
alleged thief was arrested.
Hesse stoutly denies his guilt and
says he is leading decent life, which
would seem to be true If one Is to
judge from the number Of religious
tracts and magazines and small new
testament found in his suit case.
Hesse says he has relatives and
many friends In Ottumwa and would
not tell his Christian name
Chief Gallagher has identified Hesse
as the man who operated in Ottumwa

was sent up. Hesse Is believed to be
the man who stole an overcoat from
the Washington hotel and grip from

lington, thence to Osceola and to
Bloomfield next. H ewas arrester at
Bloomfield and turned over to the Os-
ceola authorities.

DECISION EFFECTS
LOCAL DISTRICT

The decision handed down recent
ly in the case of H. X. KHowles VS..
New Sweden Irrigation district will
materially effect the progress of the
irrigation district here, According
re this decision no land can be in
cluded in the district or assessed
that isn't directly benefited by the
water, and this will take out al
most half of the land included IN the
local district.
There was estimated to be $500
acres in the irrigation district and
the assessments have been levied uI
against this amount of land. The
removal of the land not benefited
will in no way lessen the expense
but will make the entire expens'
borne by the lard benefited ~hicl
will make assessments too heavy L
render the project profitable.
