Ordinance Reducing Electric
Light and Gas Rates to be
introduced
WILL COME UP MONDAY NIGHT
Tho Ordinance, Which Will Make
Material Reduction, is Now Being
Prepared by Mayor Insiedue - His
Move is the First in What Will
Probably Prove Local Fight.

A movement for cheaper gas and
electric lights In this city is to be be-
gun by Mayor o. l.. Ingledue at the
meeting Of the city council next Mon
day night. This initial step is to be In
the form of an ordinance, which May
or Ingledue will have introduced, and
which contemplates q material reduc-
ton in the rate of both gas and cleo
trio lights.
This ordinance is now in the course
OF preparation, but 1t has not been
completed. and Mayor Ingledue was
not willing this morning to make pub

charge.
Ordinance Starter.
1t Is not Mayor 1ngledue's purpose
that his ordinance shall be final on
the subject, his chief object being to
bring the question up in concrete form
before the council so that some action
may result in the form of his ordl-
nance amended or a new ordinance.
Mayor Ingledue said this morning
that in each of his three annual mess
ages he had referred to the subject
and asked the council to take action,
but nothing had resulted. He now pros
poses to start the movement himself,
and push 1t vigorously
The mayor believes that this city Is
paying too much for these commodi-
ties, and that the service is away be-
low what it should be. He bases his be-
lief on data gathered from mass Of
correspondence he has had with other
cities relative to gas and electric light
rates; also from the information he

| she went west on Main street, stopping
two or three men on the way for the
supposed purpose of inquiring the di-
rection.
Suspecting that BAH was at home

at the Ball home ahead of Mrs Nor
ris. But Mrs. Ball, who opened the
/ door, said Owen was not at home.
Arrested by Officer Edgar.
All the outgoing trains Tuesday
night and Wednesday morning were
watched, but neither Ball nor thu
E woman was seen all day. While Of

Ball and Mrs. Norris went by. The
arrest followed, but Mrs. Morris was
not detained, as 1t was not known UNI
til later that she was wanted. She re-
turned at once to the Ball home, where
she was aroused from bed and placed
under arrest by Detectives w. d. Sims
and A. Brunnemer, of Des Moines.
Ball Goes Armed.
When arrested Ball was carrying I'M
der his left arm loaded S2-caliber re-
volver, also razor. A peculiar incident
regarding these two articles is that the
revolver is q Harrington & Richard
son, like one of the revolvers stolen
from the Abbott store last fall and the
,, razor has Abbott & Son engraved on
the blade.
Ball arrived In this city, after an abb
sence of several months, about 1880
o'clock on last Thursday morning. He
boarded the train at Des Moines. Be
fore he passed thru the business Sec
ton of the city he was stopped and
searched by Sergeant Bert Goodale.
The revolver he was carrying at that
time was found in his grip. and was
not loaded. The search revealed Moth
ing of Importance. Since then Ball has
been In the city.
Ball Posed at coIen an.
No one knows where Ball has been
since he left the city after his last
trial. During at least part Of that
time he has been In Des Moines where
he passed under the alias of Coleman.
To a friend he took particular pains
to ask him to say nothing about his
being in Des Moines If any one from
Marshalltown should inquire for him.
Mrs. Morris Declares Innocence.
When arrested Mrs. Morris, between
her tears, declared her Innocence OF
any crime, and said she had known
Ball but week. She declared she had
come here because Ball had promised
to help her and he had been friend
OF her husband. The nature of the
charge against her was not revealed.
Mrs. Morris Is 81 years Of age. She Is
rather prepossessing, a pronounced
blonde, but delicate looking woman.

come 10 this city a short time ago, and
which he had on when arrested.
Mysterious Phase Of Case.
The mysterious phase of the case is
what does Balls connection with Mrs
Norris Indicate? The police are Won
derins if it means that Ball. since his
absence from town following his ac-
quittal by the jury in the Abbott bur
glary case, has become associated with
pals of Frank Sherclifre and thus be-
came acquainted and intimate with
Mrs. Morris. Shercliffes wife.
That he has been intimate, and ex-
ceedingly so, is evidenced by a letter
found on him, which was written b
Mrs. Morris, and also by the bits.
opposition Mrs. 11. w. Bergstrom, Mrs
Morris mother, has shown to her
daughter associating with Ball. 1t was
her intense desire to get her daughter
home that was partly responsible for
the warrant for larceny being issued
against her, by which means the Des
Moines detectives were able to take
her buck Mrs. Morris has two small
children. which it is understood she
has allowed to he adopted.

In Love With Ball.
That Mrs. Morris was not mourning
for her imprisoned spouse as much as
the public was led to believe is evil
dent. That she is in love with Ball is
apparent from the letter found in his
clothes when he was searched. This
letter is undated, but 1t was evidently
written a short time before July 4. 1t
is couched in the most endearing
terms, and is addressed to "My Dear
est Owen" In 1t SHE says ct seems
can never live without you." and she
refers longingly for the time when they
will be together, and when he will send
for her. The letter closes with "Your
true little, blue little wife, Mae" With
the postscript, "a million kisses" Mrs.
Morris maiden name was Anna Mae

Tuesday evening there came a call
from lI. r, Johnson, chief of detectives
of Des Moines, to arrest Ball
and to watch for Mrs. Nor
ris, as she had left for this city and It
was suspected that she and Ball In
tended to meet here and leave this
city for an unknown destination to-
gether. Immediately the watch for
Mrs. Morris began. She alfghted from
the Great Western train at $3.50 o'clock
and went at once to a telephone near

Rhone that a committee of five men,
bers be appointed to prepare a state
ment directed to the governor.
Judge Sullivan suggested that men
of different political faith be placed
on the committee, SO there could be
no talk of politics having anything
to do with the matter.
Attorney Logan created some
amusement when he remarked that
it would be better for a committee
of five than for committee of three
to prepare and sign the statement,
as he knew when Governor Buchtel
had it in for any one he had it in
for him good and strong, and IL FIVE
men were on the committee, the ami
mostly would thus be divided up in
smaller burdens.
The motion prevailed by a unani-
nous vote.
President Bucklin appointed At
torneys Sullivan, Logan, VanHoore-
beke, Wheeler and Rhone to compose
the committee.
s The statement will be prepared
and sent to all the bar associations
in this judicial district for action be-
fore it is presented to the governor
1t is believed that it will be endorsed
by all the bar associations.
The statement, it is understood,
will fully answer the governors as
sertions and will show to the pub
lie that his excellency had no ground
for declaring that the court or its
officers were discourteous, considered
horse stealing a graver crime than
murder and various other statements
of similar import. At the same
time the. statement will be dignif1ed

just after noon today by Judge

After all the evidence for the
