CASTRO Anglers BRITISH
FoR6IDs SHIPMENTS TO THE AN.

English West Indian Colonies Proba.
bly, Will Seek Aid of Their
Home Government.

Port of Spain, July 29.-Following
the Issuance of a decree by President
Castro last May, prohibiting the dis
patch of vessels from Venezuelan gulf
ports TO Trinidad, cocoa and other
Venezuelan products have been for
warded from these ports to the Island
of Grenada, in the lesser Antilles, and
thence to Trinidad. President Castro
has now issued decree prohibiting
the dispatch of vessels with cargo for
Grenada or other islands in the An
/ titles. thereby closing the gulf ports
entirely to export and import trade
with the West Indies.
Great Indignation is felt in the Brit
lsh colonies, and 1t is expected that
the aid Of the British government will
be sought 10 secure protection against
the methods of President Castro.
Washington, July 29.-John Brewer,
who held a clerical position in the
American legation at Caracas, has
transmitted to the state department
the information that the Venezuelan
government has issued passports to
the Dutch minister. The dispatch
says this action was taken on account
of letter written by the minister
and published in bulletin of a COM
mercial association of Amsterdam, Sc
yerely criticising commercial and po-
litical conditions in Venezuela.
The state department has not yet TAX
en- steps to ascertain the definite inten-
tion of the Netherlands government
in dispatching the cruiser Gelderland
to Venezuelan waters. The state de-
partment realizes that there is an ele-
ment Of danger in the presence OF the
Dutch cruiser at Porto Cabello which
may at any time, through an unlocked
for eventuality, approximate actual
hostiliues between the two countries.
Castro's war vessels have been inter-
cepting some of the Dutch ships on
the charge of being illegally engaged
in traffic between Curacao and other
Dutch islands and the mainland, and
II he persists in this practice officials
say it may lead to serious trouble, as
the Netherlands government will not
be inclined to overlook any interfer-
ence with what it regards as the
rights of it's citizens.

A BOTTLES BIG TRIP
FLOATS FROM oTTUMWA DOWN
RIVERS AND GULF INTO
MOBILE BAY.

Ottumwa, July 29.-Bobbing along
from Ottumwa to the Mississippi riv-
er, and thence down the father of
waters to the delta at the mouth of
the Mississippi in the Gulf of Mexico.
thence skirting along the shores of
the gulf until it reached the Bay of
Mobile, where it was picked up 20
days after being cast into the water,
1900 miles distant, is the history of
a bottle.
This glass cruiser, plain glass
vial, contained q slip of paper on
which was written the name of James
Shaw of Fairfield, Iowa. Mr.. Shaw
was visitor in Ottumwa May 80 and
while in the city conceived the notion
of trying how far bottle would float
before being picked up. The bottle
was thrown into the Des Moines river
in Ottumwa on Memorial day when
the water was at very high stage.
The matter was finally forgotten by
Mr.. Shaw, who had supposed that the
uoItiV hdu uSCh d5dllot IhS
dam at Bonaparte or along the rocks
at points on the river banks. A few
days ago, however, Mr.. Shaw was
|agreeably surprised to receive a letter
from John B. Dickson of Mobile, Ala,
containing the information regarding
the great trip of the bottle. Mr.. Dick
son in his letter stated that the bot
tie was picked up by him thar the
entrance of the Bay of Mobile, June
2S, and after reading the address of
Shaw and the history of the launch
ing of the bottle, he wrote to tell
Shaw of the time made on the cruise.
The distance covered on the cruise
Of the bottle is computed at 1000
miles and the time 29 days. This will
show that the average miles per hour
during the trip was less than three
1t is difficult to learn the actual dis
tance covered and the exact course
of the bottle. The winding and crook
ed course of the streams traversed
make the estimate close one rather
under than over the exact amount.

TRIO MUSICIAN IN SPITE OF
ALL OBSTACLES.

Denver, Colo, July 29.--In spite oi
all obstacles, Miss Grace Hadsell OF
Ottumwa is now the wife of Hans AL
bert, the once famous Iowa musician
She was married to him in the prison
at Cripple Greek last night. The bars

mony, but the love sick. maiden clasp
ed Albert's hands through the gratint
as the clergyman pronounced then

wed.
The minister who performed the Ger

court, for in performing the ceremony
he violated the order of the court in
the case.
Miss Hadsell's father, who came
here close on the heels of his runa
way daughter to prevent her marriage
to Albert, declares that the mar.
riage is illegal.

Abba, July pa cutting affray
took place in Hooking which came
near adding another murder to the
record of that mining camp. Two col
ored people, John and Alice Jones, sup
posed to belong to the Smoky Row
district of Ottumwa, got into quar-
rel with young son of Joe Mowls and
slashed him with a knife in the region
of the heart. A doctor was called and
found it necessary to take seventeen
stitches to sew up the wound.

every indication that they are desper-

change in her features on mo-

WAR OVER AN ESTATE
LAW SUIT AT NEWTON PROM
lSES A LENGTHY FIGHT
IN THE COURTS. .

Newton, Ia, July 29.-Because theil
mother, the late Mrs. Sarah Il. win
slow, in the disposition of her estate
tried to make up to one son what he
was cut off. from in the will of for
mer husband, the children who got
the bulk of the fathers estate are
now attacking her action. They filed
suit in the district court this week
few days after their mothers fun
eral, asking that her deeds of gift to
the preferred son be, set aside. Prop
erty worth about $4,000 is involved
The plaintiffs in the action are An

Chicago. and Mrs. Mary Wormley anc
Mrs. Alice Swinehart. of Newton, al
children of AIRS. Winslow by her first
husband. William Armstrong, veal
thy farmer, who died in 1900. The
principal defendant in the action is
Geo. T. Armstrong another son, tC
whom the mother conveyed by deed
and then by will, the greater part ol
her estate. When the father died In
1900, he bequeathed practically all OF
his estate to the five sons and daugh
ters who are now bringing | IS suit
cutting off George T. Armstrong with
dollar. 1t is alleged that the moth
er felt much aggrieyed by this ar
rangement and that she told various
persons that when she disposed of her
estate she would even matters up a
bit.
This the mother did. On Feb. II
1906, Mrs. Winslow, who in 1908 had
married against the wishes of hel
children here in Newton, made deed
conveying to her son, George 1. Arm
strong, who had been cut out of the
fathers will, real estate worth aJou'
10000. On the same date she also
made a will in which she bequeathed
to George all her personal property
and all the residue of her estate alter
providing for $4,000 bequest to wi--'
lam H. Armstrong, a police sergeant
In Chicago. the bequest of her resi-
dence in Newton to Amzia Hixon, a
grandson, and the bequest of one dol
lar each to her other five children,
now seeking to set aside the deed.
The husband of Mrs. ~inslow does
not figure in the distribution OF the es'
tate. Before his marriage to said
Mrs. Armstrong both signed prenup
tial contracts providing that neither
should share in the estate of the other
It is presumed that II the hgh'
against the deed is successful the Will
Is then to be attacked.

It is alleged by the promoters of

prohibition would produce intense
bitterness, remove the restrictions
with which the sale of liquor is now
restrained, increase drunkenness
and deprive the state and local COM
