GUS NEIBERT MAY
NOT BE PUNISHED
Believed Scott County Grand Jury
Will Ignore Murder of Degen-
crate Fa:her-in-law.

Gus Niebert, who murdered his
father-in-law, Dan Gilbert, after
shocking family revelations, in Dav-
export, on Thanksgiving day. is still
a prisoner in the Scott county jail
The victim of the tragedy was bur-
led today.
An information was filed today
charging Niebert with manslaughter
1t is understood the county attor-
ney will recommend that he be ad-
mitted on small bail. The general
impression in Davenport is that the
grand jury will ignore the case en-
tirely. There is universal sympathy
for NiebeFt, and the only comment
that one. hears blames Niebert for
so loug~deferring the avenging of the
wr-ngs practiced by the degenerate
father upon his own daughters, one
the wife of Niebert. The coroner's
jury simply found that Gilbert came
to his death from four bullet wounds
inflicted with revolver in the hands
of. L. NiebeFt. ,ta-, ,-.

Alleged Bank swindler. Tells
Scott County Sheriff He Will
Succeed Later.
GUARDED IN A. HOSPITAL
SIashes Artery After Thanksgiving
Day Visit From His. Wife
From Chicago.

Though still in a weakened condi-
tion from loss of blood, following his
slashing of the main artery of his left
arm in cell in the county Jail at Dav-
export, Harry o. West, alias H. N.
Ordway. the alleged bank syindler, lis
on the sure road to recovery. He is in
a hospital. '--
His wife is at his side. She came
from Chicago Thanksgiving day to
cheer him. She was admitted to the
Jail, but an officer was by her side
during her entire conversation with
her husband What is puzzling the
sheriff's force is what weapon West
used to cut himself and where he got it,
The inference would be that his wife
passed him q razor, but she could not
have done so, the sheriff claims, mas
much as she was several feet away
from her husband during her Wis.,
with him, and furthermore she was
watched to guard against such a pos
sible attempt The weapon has not
been found.
VIII MIKE More Attempts.
Soon after being taken to the hospi-
tai ward, West was seen by Sheriff
Eckhardt, and when asked why he had
attempted to kill himself; he said the
reason was obvious.
you know why did this, Eek
hardt,' said West in an enfeebled
voice, "and I'll do it again when l get
the chance. No, won't tell what cut
myself with. and win watch for the
first chance l get to succeed in what 1
failed in this time. There's no use
making fuss. over be- cause I'll fin
ish the job some time. anyway. Just
mark my word, I'll not fail again"
Day and Night Watch.
In view of the circumstances and
the evident determination of the &C
cused man to put an end to his life,
Sheriff Eckhardt has placed a day ard
night watch over the man in order to
eliminate all possibility of his succeed
ing in killing himself. That he is de-
termined prisoner and will make every
effort to cheat the law out of its just
course is apparent in every detail of
the attempted suicide.

Owners Have Meeting.
The owners of the property facing

meeting last night and were unani-
nous in their approval of the scheme.
All Mr.. Vclie asks is that the highway
commissioners establish the grade, and
that the farmers and house owners
whose property fronts on the road fur
nish the teams to haul the rock and
the men to put in into place. The
meeting adjourned to next Monday
evening to give a committee appointed
