BEAT STRIKE BREAKER
Strikers, Strike Breaker and Central
Guard Clash = Strike Breaker
Roughly Handled = Thirty seven
More Strike Breakers Brought to
City.

A strike breaker, an Iowa Central
guard, and strikers clashed at about 10
O'clock Friday night, near the Bor-
chardt saloon on South Third avenue,
not far from the car shops. and the
strike breaker and guard were roughly
handled by the strikers No arrests have
been made.
The strike breaker and guard, 1t is
said, went to the saloon for "can Of
beer" While they were there they met
strikers, and an alteration resulted.
Both the strike breaker and the guard
were beaten and the former badly
badly bruised and cut about the head.
This morning Master Mechanic Feeley
discharged the guard for going off the
company property and engaging in a
fight.
The fourth Importation Of strike
breakers, numbering thirty-seven, was
brought to the city from Chicago at

were boilermakers and machinists.
Four more strike breakers quit last
night. They were escorted to the I'M
ion station this morning by guards to
get their checks cashed, and were then
returned under guard to the company's
shops.

Following Justice Court Case.
The case against Otto Radloff and
George Hinecker Wednesday afternoon,
in which Rev. CLAUS Qualen and others
had arrested for mistreating a cow, re-
suited in an assault case, at $3.50 We'd
nesday evening, in which Radlof
struck the preacher. Radloff accused
Mr.. Qualen Of falsely testifying against
him In the COW case. The minister tried
his best to get away from Radloff, but
before he could escape Radloff had
landed on Mr.. Qualen's face, resulting
in quite painful, altho not serious,
bruises. Constable Wilson, who hap
pened to be taking lunch in a nearby
arrested Radloff and pre-
vented him from doing any more seri-
Gus damage. Radloff Immediately
pleaded guilty of assault before Jus
tice Willard and paid fine Of IS and
costs. The COW case in the afternoon,
which was taken on q change Of venue
from Justice Peels's to Justice Mill
lard's court, resulted in the defendants
being found guilty. The court imposed
a fine of $25 and costs against each
defendant. Notice Of appeal to the dis
trict court was served this morning.

terests Of the majority Of the strikers
who are at their homes attending to
their own business will be best served
by rigid enforcement of law since moth
ing would win public sympathy for
the railroad company so quickly or 50
surely as an outbreak of unrestralned
violence in town like MarshalltoWn.

While Marshalltown people are free
to admit that the residents of the
great cities have some advantages that
they do not enjoy, they will still main
tain that out here in the country we
are ahead of the cities in many ways
In Chicago the newspapers of the last
few days are making much ado about
the --latest step in the crusade against
impure milk" by testing of all cows
for tuberculosis, and tagging each
one with an aluminium button. Here
in Marshalltown the same work has
been in progress long enough that the
end of the examinations is in sight.
The city has finally offered LaPlant
$1,000 in cash and the dismissal of it's
claim for $1,000 III costs in the in
junction litigation, or practically
consideration of $4,000, for ownership
of the water power to be generated
from a dam which the city has built
on LaPlant's land. LaPlant had bet
ter take it, The offer is more, much
more, than ne is entitled to. In all
probability he never paid cent for it
except cost of litigation. He owns a
lot under the river, but his dam went
out in freshet and the city has built
a new one on his site. He controls the
water power, but can't own the mill
so as to use it. If nothing more were
done, the city, under present decisions.
could go on maintaining the dam. in
spite of LaPlant, and LaPlant could
go on owning the water power, which
he could not use, and which he could
not sell to anyone except to the city.
However, LaPlant can make the city
pay large sum in law suits to win,
and in effect is in a position to make
the council pay several thousand for
the whistle. 1t is business hold-up,
but the city has no alternative. The
first $1,000 offer was enough to pay,
because the dismissal of the suit to
recover costs in case which LaPlant
has already lost amounts to another
$1,000. LaPlant had better grab at
the last offer or the council had bet
ter withdraw it.

Local Comment

Managers Of the rival band organiza-
tions seem to be perfectly willing to
have the dispute settled provided it is
settled their way, so revival Of the sub
ject at this time seems to have failed
in approaching solution. If there is
to be maximum of public service for
the public contributions sought, there
ought to be compromise effected
which would make one organization Of
the best musicians and give to the
Marsha1ltoWn band a reputation which
would spread turnout the state.

The peace officers of this community
are face to face with a crisis in their
official careers. 1t depends upon their
moral courage and backbone whether
Marshalltown is to be maintained as a
place of protection to property and per-
son in the peaceful pursuit of earning
a living Violence has broken out and
must be suppressed in any law
abiding community. It is the giving
Of an inch which will prompt hot
tempered men to take an ell. The
Iowa Central employees out on a strike
are our fellow toWnsmen and neighbors
doing an entirely legitimate business
in their refusal to work for wages I'M
satisfactory to them. 1t would not be
more than human if mayor, police and
sheriff should have friendly SYM
pathy for the personal friends and fell
low townsmen among the strikers and
a somewhat cold, disinterested feeling
toward the imported strangers, many
of whom are bound to be of an unde-
sirable class of floaters, but there is a
duty to perform for which solemn
oath Of office was taken. 1t was to pre-
serve order and peace. Iowa Central
workmen had right to quit work in a
body, but no workman or his friend
has any license to stone, attack or beat
up another man who chooses to work
at the deserted job. There should be
a flrmness of decision on the part of
the mayor and his police sufficient to
prevent this rioting. They have had
their warning in what has already
happened. II any further outbreanoc-
ours the officers will have failed ut
terly in their official duty. The In

The city council, In caucus Friday
night, with Devine and Mcdonald abb
sent, raised its offer for the purchase
Of the LaPlant dam from $1,000 to 81
900. This offer was given to c. T.
LaPlant, who was at the caucus, and
IL the negotiations continue the next
move will come from Mr.. LaPlant. Ex-
cepting for the price the city's offer re-
mains the same as the one made by
LaPlant for the sale Of the dam. If
the city buys it becomes absolute pos

both ends. All suits begun by LaPlant
the city, and property owners up the
river are to be dismissed at the plain

When the vote on the city's offer was
taken Clark and Herman voted against
making it.
Mr.. LaPlant said at the caucus that
he was not representing his son, who
owns the dam, but that he had taken
an interest IN it merely for the purpose
of bringing about settlement. He also
said that it was useless to take an Of
fer Of $1,000 for the dam to George w.
whom he was certain would
not even consider it. No
have been made for another caucus Of
the council ON the subject.

Young Man Who Attempted to
Victilnize Rev. C. w. McCord

is SON OF WISCONSIN MAN
Albert II. Topper, of HartIand, Wis,
Young Mans Father, Positively Re-
fuses to Aid Him Under Any circum-
stances-TeIls Story of Som. Mis-
spent Life in Letter.

The identity Of Harry Wilson, alias
Fred Willard and a half dozen others.
was positively established today when
Rev. c. w. McCord received a letter
from Albert H. Upper, leading mer-
chant of Hartland, Wis, in which he
tells the story of his sons misspent
life. Instead of Fred Willard, as the
young man sWore at his preliminary
examination was his correct name, the
young prisoner in the county jail,
charged with forgery, is Fred w. Tup-
per.
When the prisoner was placed in
Jail, and a Times-Republican man was
trying to get his correct name, the
prisoner told so many stories that it
was a hard matter to determine just
what his name might be. After telling
the reported that his name was Fred
Atwood, and that he lived at Albert
which he had left the goods obtained
under forged order from Rev. c. W..
McCord. It bore the name "F. A.
Tucker"
THAT isn't right" the young man
said to the newspaper man. TT ought
to be Topper"
Now Topper is not a common name,
and when further pressed he said his
name was Fred Upper, and that his
father lived at Hartland, Wis. The
newspaper man looked up Hartland,
Wis, and found it to be very small
town which, unless the young man had
not be known to be on the map. It
was suggested by the newspaper man
to Mr.. McCord that Topper was the
better clue to work on, and accord
ingly Mr.. McCord wrote to Miss Mabel
v. Hansen, editor Of the Hartland
News. knowing Fred Upper, Miss
Hansen turned the letter over to the
young mans father, and he answered
Mr.. McCord without any hesitancy.
Mr.. Tuppers letter to Rev. Mr.. Nc
Cord is as follows:
"Hartland, Wis, May &c. w. Nc
Cord, Marshalltown, Ia. Ny Dear
Sir: have read your letter to our
editor, and regret very much to say
that in my opinion any leniency you
may show to Fred w. Topper, or any
confidence you may repose in him. will
be misplaced. He is not worthy of
single thought Of the very least mem
Der Of society. Fred Upper has had
the very best opportunities. He could
have made for himself very enviable
place among the very best. He was
offered university education. We
have done everything we could Our
friends and relatives have also done
everything they could do. We have
been betrayed. This is not the first
time this young man has been in trou-
BILE 1t has been almost continual for
about twenty years. The only time I
have drawn a long breath since his
birth was during the three years he
was in the army.

will do. Nothing more. Not penny
will I contribute to him in any way,
nor will help him in any way, shape
or manner, no matter what his stu
alton may be.
