STRANGERS AT MASON CITY
HAVE so MUCH GOLD COIN
THEY AROUSE SUSPICION.
PRESENT $500 AT BANK
IN EXCHANGE FOR PAPER
Police Are Notified of Transaction and
Later Ono of the Strangers is Ar
rested-Establishes His Identity as a
Horse Buyer and Is Highly Indignant
Over Suspicion.
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican,
Mason City, Oct 16.--Two unkempt
looking strangers created sensation
here yesterday when they presented
$500 in gold at local banks and asked
for paper money in exchange. They
were Accommodated and the police no.
titled. 1t was perfectly good gold but
the bankers suspected that something
was wrong when it came in such big
punches. When the strangers appeared
in the banks they simply opened
satchels of the yellow coin and count
ed out big piles on the counter. They
seemed to take it as quite matter of
course that they should have so much
currency and everything about them
seemed quite proper When the police
were put on the trail they thought
they were after a pair of bold bank
robbers. Their search was unsuccessful
and was abandoned but several hours
later one of the men was found by
chance in a downtown cigar store. He
was greatly surprised when placed I'M
der arrest and was able to explain his
identity as horsebuyer. He expressed
great Indignation because suspicioned
as criminal just because he had so
much money and unlimited scorn at
inhabitants of a city who would grow
faint at the sight of an amount big
ger than nickel"

town of Grand Junction is being en-
acted farce, the like of which is sell
dom recorded. The entire football team
of the Boone high school, together with
the manager, the coach, referee and
rooters. are forking over to the mayor
some shekels to satisfy offended JUS
tice
The boys went to Perry two weeks
tgo today to play football with the
Perry team. In returning they were so
unfortunate as to be compelled to lay
over in the town of Grand Junction
tor several hours, to await a passen-
ger train which the Northwestern COM
pany was going to stop for them. After
spending a couple of hours there the
boys naturally got restless, and con-
gregatlng at the station commenced
singing some of their school songs.
While engaged in singing, down
swooped the "chief Of police" and the
whole bunch was pinched. Down the
street to the "calaboose" the lineup
which had played such star game
and won against Perry, was led, with
the rooters and officials tagging along
behind. The spectacle was funny in the
extreme and the boys, supposing some
one was playing joke on them, readi-
ly marched along.
When the boys got down town and
to the "jail' they realized that some
thing was up They inquired what was
the matter and were told that they
We're all under arrest for disturbing the
peace and for disorderly conduct. They
were dazed for a moment and then
We're still further dazed when the mai
esty Of the law marched the whole
bunch into the jail and under lock and
key.
An hour later the mayor came. This
was a. m. An august court was set
up and the boys were told to plead
guilty This they did, some of them
still having a deep-seated idea that the
proceedings were still of jokish ma
ture. When the sixteen had plead thus
ly the mayor calmly announced: 81
fine you each 81 and costs, making a
total of $3.50 apiece" They signed a
bond and agreed to pay the fines today.
But the story doesn't end with to-
days payment of the fines. One of the
boys feels that he was accorded treat
ment which was uncalled for at the
depot, from some one in the hotel
there, and is going to have attorneys
take up the case for damages.
