BUTTER STOLEN FROM STATION.
Thousand Pounds Taken From Plat
form at Minneapolis.

Oelwein, Dec. 1.-The Great Western
has been touched for over 1000 pounds
of golden butter and the company has
turned it's sieuths loose on the job in
an effort to apprehend the butter alb
stractor. 1t was kept sub rosa for a
time in order that better opportunity
might be had to apprehend the thief,
but now it is an open hustle for the
pCrloiner.
North of oelwein near the Jefferson
Creame =, there is a platform where
the prouuct of the creamery is placed
at night for the freight on that road to
load and ship. This has been the Gus
tom FOR years, and there never had
been a loss till ten days ago. 1t is pre-
sumed that as butter climbed the scale
in prices, till it has become AMIDST as
valuable as silver bullion some enter
prising fellow who lives "easy' con-
cluded that ut was UP to him to annex
some Of the precious butter.
1t is packed in tubs, and the first
night the thief was satisfied to take
but six tubs, which at 90 pounds a
tub amounted ito $50 pounds. A few
nights ago the nervy gentleman went
1t twice as strong and took twelve
tubs, or 720 pounds. While the officers
look wise and say nothing it snot
known whether the clues so far OBJ
tanned will lead to the apprehension OF
the thief or not. 1t is easily figured
that the loss to the company will
amount to over $500. 1t is understood
that the Jefferson creamery having de-
livered the butter is not responsible.

Charley Richheart, from Madrid, is al

him lying on the ground near this
gambling house for dead.
A few minutes afterward Knox came
out of the house and, seeing Rotter
lying on the ground he picked up a
few beer bottles that We're near al

and back until he broke a half dozer
bottles. Rotter lay there from $3.50
until $3.50 p. M. and was finally picked

END OF THORNTON SCANDAL
COMES BY PLEA OF GUILTY.
TO MINOR CHARGE.
HEuERMAN TO BE LET OFF
WITH THIRTY DAY SENTENCE
Court Accepts Plea Of Guilty to Charge
Of Assault, Which Ends Famous Case
in Which Thornton Editor Was In
voIved-settIement Comes as Sur
prise.

Mason City, Dec. An end to the
court proceedings in the famous Thorn
ton sensation which involved Sam s.
Sherman, former editor of the Thorn
ton Enterprise, came when young
Harry Heuerman, of Belmond, pleaded
guilty to a charge Of assault. An in
dictment charging him with rape had
been returned against him and he
awaited trial on that charge.
At the time of the alleged crime he
was in the employ Of Mr.. Sherman
and Sherman was indicted on the same
charge. Sherman was placed on trial
and the state elected to stand on his
conviction as aiding and abetting Heu-
erman in the alleged crime. No verdict
the second the jury found him guilty
Of assault and battery.
After the close of the last trial OF
Sherman the defense made motion
to dismiss the charge against Heuer-
man. This was overruled by the
court. Heuerman was to have been
tried at this term and his plea came
as a surprise to those not closely con-
nected with the case.
Upon the entering of a plea of gull
ty by Heuerman Judge Kelley an.
nounced that he would delay sen.
tence until after examining the paper:
in the case. The punishment of thu
crime to which Heuerman has pleaded
guilty is a fine of 500 or a Jail SEN

That the methods of public school

evidenced when a German man whose

"Vot is it, lobster?'
The principal explained in his suav-

Sierra Leone-known to fame as 1.-THE

deck Of an incoming steamer presents
an appearance distinctly attractive. As
to climate. the sobriquet white mans

was seldom indeed that the parade
was dismissed for lack Of victim to
the pestiferous climatic conditions.
Indeed. so arduous became the duties
Of sepulcher that, whereas it was Gus

regiment and band to attend, only the
company of the deceased and the firing
party did so later on. Sierra Leone is
infested with snakes, large and small.
