DESERTtR CAME TO GRIEF
Thomas 0'Brien, Who Skipped From
Fort Douglas Sunday, Fell From
a Train at American Fork.

American Fork. Feb. "a man giving
the name of Thomas o Brien and claiming
TO be q deserter from the United states
army from a company at Fort Douglas
was picked up here in partly dcmented
condition at an early hour this morning
by the local police. He was in nude con-
dition, having taken his clothes off the
night before, and had been in this cOndi-
ton all night. When found this morning.
his feet were frozen, and ne was in
precarious condition. After he had been in
the city Jail for a few hours, he began to
come to himself, and in a semi-cOnscious
manner told that he, with another, had de-
serted at Fort Douglas yesterday, and
had taken a San Pedro train out of salt
Lake City. At this point he had fallen
from the train, and from then on his mind
is a blank up to the time he came in TO the
city jail. His head is badly cut and
bruised, bearing out his story of falling
from the train. The officers have been
in communication with the officers at the
fort, and they advised the police that he
was a deserter and that there was $50
reward for his return. The marshal will
take him to Fort Douglas either tonight OF
in the morning.
Two young lads of this place were ar
rested last night for being intoxicated on
Sunday. They were placed in the city Jail
and after considerable sweating they adj
mitted that the liquor was purchased at
one of the drug stores. After an iuvesti-
cation into the case, there is liable to be
an arrest of enc Of the drug stores for
selling booze without a license.

CLAIM PANAMAlS
NOT In STATES
CONTINENTAL CASUALTY CO.
RESORTS TO SUPREME COURT
IN THE cuRRlE SUIT.

Whether the Panama canal zone is
part of the United States or other
wise Is the question which the Con-
tinental Casualty Co., want the SUI
preme court Of Iowa to decide in the
case tried some time ago in the
Wapello county district court, when
Mrs. Eunice Currie of Eldon was given
judgment in the sum Of $1,000 and
interests on an accident policy held
by her husband. The defense made by
the company at that time was that
the canal zone was not within the ter
ritory which Mr.. Currie's policy COW
cred and therefore he was not en-
titled to recovery on the policy. The
lower court, however, gave her YER
dict, it being proved that Mr.. Currie
was killed near Gorgone on the
Isthmus of Panama.
The insurance company as a part
of its defense set up the claim that
as a resident of the canal zone Currie
was not resident of the United
States and the company was relieved
of liability. Before going to Panama
Currie was a railroad engineer living
at Eldon.
Saloon Gases Appealed.
The appeal from the decision OF
Judge G. w. Vermillion in the saloon
Injunction proceedings, which was so
bitterly fought in the Wapello county
district, has reached the supreme
court, and that tribunal will doubtless
hand down decision in the near
future. 1t will be remembered that
Judge Vermilion held that the revoca.
ton petition, which, following the cam.
paign made after the Sunday revival
services here, closed all Ottumwa
saloons, was insufficient and the bar
to their operation in Ottumwa was
therefore destroyed.

fact that if Sheriff Jackson puts a

dig out and be gone before morning.

All Hail to Willie Sheehan, the Star
Player in the Ranks of the [. G. A.

To William Sheehan, the skillful
young golfer Of the Hyperion Field
club of Des Moines, who Saturday won
the golf association championship by
defeating Ralph Rider, the Waveland
crack, In brilliant finish at the thir-
ty-sixth hole, rightfully belongs the
title he has acquired this season of
sThe Golfing Phenom."
Phenomenal is really the only word
to express the steady rise Of this -
year-old youth. who in three years
time has rapidly worked his way from
the bottom to the best golfer in Des
Moines and Iowa, a state in which
there Is probably more interest in
golf than in any other state in the
union.
In 1907 Sheehan first began to play
golf, but did not attract much atten-
ton until after he joined the Hyper
matches with astonishing regularity.
In 1908 he entered several club tour
naments and seemed always to play
the same steady game. This year it
did not surprise many when he won
the Des Moines city championship, as
many Of the Hyperion club members
had already predicted that he was a
coming golf champion.
He has every qualification that goes
to make up successful champion.
and you can always bank on the sort
of a game he will play.
Before another season has passed
William Sheehan will doubtless be
known outside of Iowa in golf cir
cles.
Despite the fact that Sheehan led
Rider four holes at the end OF the
morning play Saturday, his very best
work was necessary to win over the
brilliant game put up by Rider in the
afternoon. The champion won holes
Nos. l, 8, Z, 8, IS, Is and 18 to Riders
holes Nos. 2, IL and Is early in the
day. but starting out on the last half
of the match, the Waveland man put
UP far better game than his rival
He won holes Nos. 81, 25, rs, 80, 81
and "a, while Sheehan excelled at
Nos. 10, 20 and the final hole, No So
Rider eyened UP the match at hole No.
"a, which he won in a brilliant 2. ne
gotiating a fifteen foot put with a
great exhibition of skill. With the
play all even, both golfers proceeded
to hole No. 35, which the Waveland
man failed to win over Sheehan
through bad put for the hole. They
halved this, and on the last hole
Sheehan played DOGGY golf. while
Rider could not finish in less than one
over DOGGY, six strokes. When Shee.
han completed his fifth stroke and the
bali slid into the hole winning him the
title, Warren Dickinson, his faithful
caddy let out war whoop that rang
for blocks around. An immense. gal
lery followed the stars on the last
nine holes, and frequently the golfers
were applauded for their excellent
work
