H. p. GIaspell and family have de-
parted for their future home in Al
berta, from whence they came when
they located In this city about three
years ago. Since moving here Mr..
GlaspelI has been employed at var
ious things. but was not very sue
cessfnl In any line OF work.
Upon leaving Occur d'Alene he en-
countered some trouble which was
not in the least pleasant, but he was
Obliged to meet It. Shortly after
coming here he purchased some fur
niture from the Lakeside Furniture
company on the installment plan, and
made few payments, leaving con-
siderable amount due on 1t. and the
goods were secured by Itemized con-
tract, In which they remained the
property OF the firm until paid for
In fun. and in case Of failure to
make such payment they could be
taken back and the payments thus
made forfeited.
With this existing contract in ef-
feet, Mr.. GlaspelI before leaving the
city went to a second hand store and
sold these household goods for a
small sum and Immediately took his
departure with his family. They
went to Spokane. and while await

them over the line. they were met
by the proprietor OF the Lakeside
Furniture company, from this city,
together with the second hand pur-
chaser of the goods. and Glaspell was
given his choice OF paying the bill in
full or returning to the city with an
oficer. After some elaboration he
paid the bill.
But this did not end all and the
sheriff Immediately introduced him
self to Mr.. Glaspell and presented a
bill Of expenses amounting to S14,
and at this Mr., Glaspell became very
angry as also did his wife. They
stormed for some time but finally
raised the money and settled in full
and were allowed to 60 on their
journey.
Shortly before leaving the city
Mr., Glaspell went to his then inti-
mate friend. G. Il. Max, and bor-
rowed a valuable gun and some cart
ridges with the promise to return
them in a short time, but failed to
do so and took them with him also,
or sold them, which Is not known.
About a year ago Glaspell was jan
itor at the Methodist church here,
but after filling that pos ton for a
time was asked to resign by the pas.
tor, and this he did after making
several threats. Thus the pathway
of the man was not the smoothest
while he was in this vicinity. and his
departure Is not regretted. espac-
tally by those with whom he became
closely Identified.

BANK WRECkER
MUST NOW FACE
ANOTHER TRIAL
Served a Year, Arrested While
on Twenty-Five
Counts Against Him.

Fort Madison, Ia. July 16-Judge
Henry Bank today denied a writ of
habeas corpus in the case Of Leroy
Ware. former cashier of the wrecked
Farmers and Drovers bank of Seymour,
IA. who recently was paroled from the
state penitentiary here. Upon his re-
lease at the instance Of County At
torney K. 3. Tallman. OF Corydon, he
was rearrested upon remaining indict-
ments pending against him in Wayne
county. He Immediately began habeas
corpus proceedings upon the ground
that prisoner paroled by authority Of
the state board and the governor could
not be deprived of his liberty on charges
substantially the same as those upon
which he was originally sentenced.
twenty-five indictments altogether
were brought against Ware, as result
of the failure. Wares trial was post
'poned several times on motion of the
defendants attorney. Finally Judge II.
NJ. Towner made Ware come to trial
and he promptly plead guilty to one
of the % charges and was sentenced
to serve five years in the penitentiary
at Fort Madison. He had been in pris-
on only about one year when the state
board recommended his parole, which
was granted by the governor.
The action Of the board was bitterly
resented at Seymour, where many peo-
pie lost heavily in the wreck, and the
county attorney lost no time in renew
ing the prosecution.
The denial of the writ means that
Ware will have to stand trial on some
of the remaining indictments.

MISS WRIGHT SOUGHT az KINGS

During the long years Of experiments

she cheered them up in their failures,
nursed them when they were injured
by falls and was the first to cheer them
when they met with their first tempor-
airy success.
When orville fell at the airship test

last spring, and was injured, Katherine
was there to nurse him back to
strength. This was when Lieutenant
Selfridge. Of the United States army,
was killed.
Later she left her school in Dayton
and went with Orville to Join Wilbur in
Paris. Upon her arrival there she
found herself the center Of attraction.
The best people in the land called upon
her and finally she had the remarkable
experience OF meeting the three kings.
who went in their automobiles to see
her brother make flight.
The kings did not merely shake her
by the hand as they do most Ameri-

reception line. but they stood on the
common earth and talked with her
about her experiences in the air, and
tried to find out what she knew about

HANGS HIMSELF
TO A BED POST

Dubuque, Ia, July 19.-Albert Frobel,
aged So years, committed suicide by
hanging himself to bed post last
night after retiring. The man tied a
strap about the bed post and about
his throat and laid down within few
inches of his pillow, strangling to
death. His wife found him dead q
few hours after.
Froebel was an employee of the
Great Western and is believed to have
been temporarily insane, having en-
deavored to end his life on several oc-
casions before. His domestic relations
were congenial. He is survived by a
wife and three sons.
