not a lost art in Iowa. When a pro-
fessional horse thief, or possibly two
of them, visited Nutwood park, one of
the most valuable and promising q
year-old trotters in the western coun-
try was stolen.
The theft was as daring and bold
as it was successful. and not the
slightest clew as to the location of the
animal or the party who stole it has
been discovered.
The stolen trotter is the property Of
Henry Kripps, of Maquoketa, and is
valued at $500. 1t was taken from a
stall at the north end of the grounds
and was not missed until o'clock
in the morning, when it's tender went
to feed 1t.
That the animal was stolen and that
it is now in possession of the thieves
there is not the slightest doubt.
When the police were notified Of the
theft of the horse, they We're also in
formed of the fact that a buggy, har-
ness and saddle were stolen from the
barn Of James e. Shortell, 10 Milwau-
kee avenue. The locations where the
double thefts occurred are in very
close proximity and the job was so
framed that the horse was first stolen
and then led down the road a short
distance to where the buggy and har-
ness were secured. The horse was
hitched to the vehicle and was then
! turned around and driven north, to-
ward Sageville. This much was shown
by tracks in the road.

Chicago. May 31.-One of the most
mystifying tragedies of recent days
was revealed early yesterday, when
Norah Jane Cleminson, aged 80, the
wife Of DR.. Haldane Cleminson, aged
81, was found dead in bed at her home,
Ass Wayne avenue, Rogers Park.
The woman's husband, who claims
that burglars chloroformed both he and
his wife, is under guard at the Alexian
Brothers Hospital, and the police are
wavering between number of theories,
which include suicide pact. plain
murder, plain suicide and murder for
robbery. Cleminson is a former Iowa
man, graduate of the state University
of the class of 1902.
Evidence Contradictory.
Nearly every bit of evidence in sup
port Of each theory is offset by contra
dictory facts that seem to render all
views of the case uncertain and doubt

ing his innocence and that of his-wife.
admits his inability to lift the cloud of
suspicion that hangs over him, and the
police, while expressing the belief that
the physician had a guilty knowledge
of his wife's death. admit that they
have no positive evidence of guilt and
are almost wholly In the dark as to a
motive for crime
Three Doctors Disagree.
Even the cause of the woman's death
IS net clear. The coroner's physician
DR.. H. G. w. Reinhardt, states from 3
superficial examination that he believes
chloroform was the agent of death, but
DR.. Paul Hullhorst. who was the frs
outsider to enter the Cleminson home
after the notice of death, voices tho
opinion that neither Mrs. Cleminsor
nor her husband was a victim of chlo.'-
oform. In this opinion he is supported
by DR.. j. H. Bruno, the resident physi-
clan at the hospital, who examined
DR.. Cleminson when he was brought
there.
Both DR.. Hullhorst and DIR. Bruno
are quite positive in declaring that DR.
Cleminson, who from the first has
claimed to be seriously i'll from CHOIR
oform poisoning, is not i'll from any
cause whatever.
Yet the known facts run as strongly
to the support of all that DR.. Clem'n-
son has stated as they do toward indi

Eldora, May 31.-The largest crowd
in the history of the Hardin County
High School Athletic Association wit
messed its eighth annual field and track
meet at the fair grounds here, Satur-
day. The gate receipts were $16S.5S,
making about 600 paid admissions. The
receipts were about one half larger
than at any previous meet.
The annual sessions of the executive
committee was held in the morning
at which time the various protests
were taken up. The protests made
against New Providence Academy and
an Eldora man, were both thrown out.
The protest against the Iowa Falls
man, Foote, was taken up by the sx-
ecutive committee, in a session which
lasted an hour and a half. The sup
erintendent of schools. backed by legal
talent Of Iowa Falls, did his best to
clear Foote. but each Of the three
charges named in the protest were
sustained, and the committee voted Mr.
Foote out of the meet as being pro-
fessional. Foote was protested on three
points, first, that he played with COL
lege squad. second, that he received
pay for the same; and third that he
played under a false name.
The official result of the meet has
not been given out for there are four
contests. The result in the fifty yard
dash is contested, on the ground that
the second and third men were Judged
by Iowa Falls and Alden men, and they
declared the iowa Falls contestant and
the Alden contestant tie, and divided
the points. when the direction and in
tent was that disinterested men were
to act as judges and these to be se-
cured from Marshalltown.
The second event contested Is event
number eleven, or the broad jump. In
this event, as shown by the Official
score card of the judges, Smith, of Ell
dora, was cheated out OF his last
jump.
The 22o yard dash was won by Drier,
Of New Providence. but he was ruled
out on account Of his crossing over in
front Of other contestants, but in doing
SO he neither jostled or hindered any
contestant.

The opposing armies applied many
different names to each other during
the war At the outset "Rcb" and
"Seccsh" were favorite terms as ap-
plying to the Confederates. Along in
1862 "Grayback" and "Butternut'
were often used, both derived from the
uniforms the Confederatcs Wore. Many
of their uniforms were of a butternut
color, dyed reddish brown with butter
nut bark. But some time in 1864, as
the story goes, two pickets, one FROM
