Declines to Discusses His Case with
the Newspaper Men.
John r.. Dobblns. indicted by the district
grand jury on the charge of larceny of
$4,000 from T. w. Ballew. a banker OF
Princeton, Mo-. and president OF the Balew
Lumber company of that city, is behind
the bars of the county Jail. He arrived
about midnight Sunday from New York,
where he was arrested, in custody of for
mer Deputy Sheriff w. A. Groneweg.
County Attorney Hess stated yesterday
afternoon that 1t was his intention to have
Dobblns arraigned some time today before
Judge Thornell. Dobbins' bail bond under
the Indictment, was fixed by Judge Green
at 5000 and not at $40, 1000, as formerly an
nounced. 1t is understood that he expects
to furnish a bond, but this could not be
determined until the arrival of his attorney
from Davenport. Dobbins has also retained
Emmett FINLEY Of this city as his attorney.
Dobbins declined to discuss his case and
refused to talk to the newspaper reporters.
II is said, however, that he has expressed
himself as. not worrying over the outcome
Of the charge against him. His wife did
not him here, as stated in the
press dispatches. She intended to do so.
but was unable to make Preparations in
time.
Former Deputy Sheriff w. A. Groneweg,
who was commissioned as a special officer
In the case, made a flying trip to New
York and succeeded in getting away with
his man much more easily than he had
anticipated. He left here Monday of last
week, secured his requisition from Cover
nor Carroll at Des Moines, and took the
train from there to Chicago the same night.
He managed to make quick connections in
Chicago, and proceeded direct to Albany,
N. Y, where he saw Governor Hughes, who
honored the requisition and issued the war
rant for Dobbins
Dobbins and his friends had expected
that Groenweg would go direct to New
York and had arranged to make a fight
before Governor Hughes against the honor
ing of the requisition. They were COM
pletely taken by surprise when Groneweg
appeared in the city criminal court with
his warrant. The judge, after examining
the warrant, directed that Dobbins be
turned over to the Iowa officer. Dobbins'
friends then resorted to habeas corpus pro-
ceedings, but when the hearing anne up
Saturday, Dobbins gave up the fight.
Groneweg, with his prisoner, left New
York on the Twentieth Century Limited
Saturday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock. and the
return trip was made without incident.

CHILD ASSAULTED BY TRAMP
Alarm Given by Companions and
Eeighbors Come to Her Aid.
LITTLE ONE BADLY FRIGHTENED
In state of Collapse when Assistance
Arrives - Assailant Makes His
Escape and Eiudes the
Police.

Lillian Thompson, the 6-year-old daughter
Of Mr.. end Mrs. Anthony Thompson, who
occupy the old city pest house near MINISTER
Springs, was attacked while on her way
home from school yesterday afternoon by
an unidentified man, presumably one OF
the horde OF tramps who infest the railroad
yards in the northern part Of the city. The
ssssilant, however. was frightened away
before he had time to accomplish his pur-
pose.
The child attends the North Eighth street
school and started home in company with
several other children, but had run ahead
of them. She was on the roadway which
runs alongside the railroad yards. and
when near the north end Of the yards was
seized by q man. who carried her towards
the bluffs, where there was a deep exca-
walton. Some Of the children following be-
hin the Thompson child came up in time
to see the fellow carrying her towards the
excavation and they gave the alarm. A.
e. Barrett, living at 1900 North Eighth
street, hearing the ehildren's cries. started
down the road. Little Lillian's sssailant
saw Barrett coming and, leaving his in
tended victim lying on the ground almost
unconscious from fright and with her cloth
ing almost torn off her. ran and disap-
peared in the weeds,
BY this time several railroad men had
reached the scene and the child was car
ried to Barrett's home, while Barrett and
several others continued the pursuit after
her assailant. The child, who was unin-
jured, but in a state of collapse from fright.
was taken to her home by James Wickham
In his buggy.
The police were notified and Detective
Weir and officer Lorenzen hastened to the
scene of the attack in the police buggy,
but were unable to get any trace of the
brute. The officers made a search of the
camp of Greek section hands, but failed
to find anyone answering the description
Of the child's Rssailant.

says 10 Was Done In Car In Fight
with TrRmps.
Henry Forester, who said he was So
years of age and that his home was in Del
AVIAN. Wis, was taken by the police yester-
cay afternoon to the Edmundson Memorial
hospitals on Instructions from Dr.. Han
chett. county physician. Forester was suf-
fering from a sever wound in the throat.
Early in the afternoon Forester appeared
at the Emmett house saloon on Sixteenth
avenue with a blood stained bandage
around his neck and in a weakened condl-
ton from loss Of blood and evident lack OF
food. Gregers Jensen, the proprietor Of
the saloon, sent Forester to Or. O'Keefe.
who found it necessary TO take five stitches
in the wound. The wounded man was then
turned ovet to the police and later taken
to the hospital.
In his story to the police Forester said
that several days ago he started for the
west, beating his way in a box car. In
the box car we're several other tramps, in
GLIDING a negro. In some manner the 9TH
ers learned that Forester had about $50 in
his possession and during the night a fight
was started with, as Forester thinks, the
intent of robbing i'm. He succeeded, how
ever, in saving his money, but received a
severe cash across the throat This, For
roster said, he thought was done by the
negro with a razor. Forester stayed in
the car and one of the other men dressed
the wound as well as he could. Forester
said he thought he reached Council Bluffs
some time Saturday. but was so weak from
loss of blood and lack of food that he could
not just remember. The car was side
tracked in the Milwaukee yards and For
roster lay in 1t all Sunday and until yester-
day afternoon, when he succeeded in maxi
ing his way to the saloon. Forester told
the police he had no relatives but called
Delavsn his home and admitted he was
trying to beat his way out west, although
he had no definite point in view.
