DICK WELLER

Said to Have Forged Number of
Notes and Cannot Now be
Located.

Keosauqua Democrat: Some time

as Dick Weller. aged about "a years,
and residing near Willitts Station,

wife. and their whereabouts are I'M

After Weller's disappearance a

THE NEWBERRY
WRESTLING MATCH
Montrose Bank Cashier ie Made De.
PENDANT In the Suit Which
Has Been Filled.

Montrose Journal: Orson Newber-
ry of Argyle, who lost $4,000 in a
fake wrestling match some time ago
claims that Cashier Cook Of the Mon
trose Savings bank and Mr.. Ketchem,
cashier of the Harrington bank were
parties to the fraud. Ed. Leach of this
place and Thomas Robinson OF Farm
ington being the promoters of the
fake match. No doubt Mr.. Newberry
lost his money but whether he is en-
titled to any sympathy is questionable,
If reports are true he went to Penn
sylvania with the expectation OF de-
frauding some one else, they play
that game rather smooth by going
to some man with money and making
the claim to him that they are &C
quainted with a gentleman who is a
millionaire and belongs to a million
ARE club and that their friend is mad
at the secretary of the club and they
want to skin him out of his money
and that it will not be necessary for
him to bet cent as they will furnish
him with from $4,000 to 100000 but
1t will be necessary for him to take a
draft for $4,000 or $4,000 SO as to
show that he has some standing in
his community, which all looked good
to Mr.. Newberry, he secured the
money and accompanied Mr.. Robin
son and Mr.. Leach to Pittsburg and
after getting on the ground, and at
the ring side he put up all the money
they had given him and it looked SO
good to him that he put his money
in to the tune of $4,000, which he is
now suing for, SO the story goes, and
after 1t was all over and he came to
he found that he had been stung to
the tune of $4,000 but it looks now
like Mr.. Newberry has joined forces
with the chiefs Leach and Robinson
and that they are going to try and play
even with Cook and Ketchem from
whom Mr. Newberry happened to Dor
row part Of the money he lost.
Quite a number of people have talk
ed with us and some are censuring
Mr.. Cook, which we are all liable to
do if we do not take time to consider
| Mr.. Newberry has been having for
years and would not feel comfortable
out of court and it looks to us that
all should wait before censuring one
of our prominent citizens who holds a
responsible position and who has lived
here all his life without a blemish, II
he is proven guilty then all honest
men should shun Mr.. Cook, but let us
wait and see before passing judg.
ment. We were asked what effect
the suit would have on the bank, ii
has nothing to do with the bank as
the suit is against Mr.. Cook as an In
dividual, not as cashier of the bank
The Journal hopes that Mr. New
berry may unearth the right parties
and that they will be sent to Fort
Madison to keep company with other
thieves.

are objecting to paying any more of
the notes on the alleged ground that
their signatures to the notes are not
genuine. 1t is reported that there are
Noes of that kind out to the amount
of $780, After the father paid the
$500 note he took home team that
Dick had left, but he had to give 1t
up because it had been mortgaged to
another party, and the team was sold
at sheriff's sale at Pennington We'd
nesday. The father states he doesn't
know where Dick is and no one else
appears to know. However, If cons
lions are as represented 1t is very
probable that the state Of Iowa will
find out where he is before long.

WARSAW, ILL.,, Aug. 12.-Warsaw is
suffering from mild attack of Car
nivalitis," or "Streetfairitis," but it is
now under control and will not last
longer than Saturday. 1t seems to af-
feet the children mostly. and develops
finally into the merrygoround fever"
which apparently will have to run its
course without any decrease In tenn
perature Great care has been taken
to prevent the disease from spreading
into the country, but all efforts seem
to have been unavailing, as families
were here yesterday and are here tc-
day from as far out as Basco, having
ridden over hot dusty roads to see
nothing. Luckily the disease" can
not prove fatal. The only way to &C.
count for the spread of the disease"
is through the air, for the carnival
has not been advertised in the coun-
try and half of the town people do no
know it is here, which is most fortu-
nate.
Warsaw had outgrowh street fairs
and carnivals, but this one was thrust
upon her without cost, and without
any action on the part of her citizens
so she hopes that her friends will not
hold this one as black mark against
her.
The La Harpe Fair association have
invited Carthage and Warsaw base
ball teams to play a game at the COM

has accepted.

WILL NOT GIVE
THEIR CONSENT
Property Owners Near the Children $
Park Aroused Over Attempt to
Make 1t Camping Ground
IT WOULD BE A BAD PRECEDENT

\ storm of protest went up today
from the property holders in the
northwest part of the city. whose
property adjoins or faces the pretty
Children's Park, between Gunnison
and Hill avenue and between Fourth
and Fifth streets, over the action of
the city council last night in rescind-
ing the action taken by four aldermen
and the mayor at a previous meeting
regarding the permitting of a church
organization to use the Children S
Park for big camp meeting AT the
first consideration of the request for
the use of the park the city council
turned IL down with a thud but last
night they reconsidered this action
and agreed to permit the church to
use the park providing that the
church people could secure the CON
sent OF majority of the property
owners in the neighborhood of the
park.
This afternoon it seems almost GER
tain that not only will the church
fail to secure the consent of ma
jority of the property owners near
the park but they will be unable to
secure the consent of one-fourth of
/ the property owners interested.
The Sentinel interviewed a number
of the leading residents of the park
district this afternoon and all of them
declared that they are most emphat-
ically opposed TO permitting such a
gathering in the park and that they
will never give their consent for the
camp meeting TO be held there. Ev-
cry property holder seen is vigorously
opposed to the turning over of the
park TO the church people.
Therefore it seems pretty certain
that the camp meeting will not be
held in the Children's Park.
| 1t is announced that the church ex-
poets to hold this camp meeting pro-
posed to place a great big gospel tent
\ in the park and twenty-five camping
tents, each of these tents TO be occu-
pied for ten days by family or a
party.
In other words, as the property
owners understand IT, the park was tc
be turned into q regular camping
/ grounds for ten days. The property
