NO CLUE TO DYNAMITER.
Burlington Opera House to Be Repaired
At Once

Burlington, Sept. T.. There were
practically no new developments in the
Grand opera house story yesterday.
The police, the local manager, the hun
dreds of people who have been deeply
interested and stirred by the Internal
attempt to destroy one of the city's best
buildings, the people who usually know
it all, and the other fellows who rarely
plead guilty to knowledge on any sub
ject, are all equally in the dark. There
is no real motive upon which any two
people can agree, and yet there is the
fact that the attempt was made to de-
stroy the house. The manager made
another inspection yesterday and found
a place on the south side of the build
ing, where he believes that the crimi-
nails were in hiding, and from where
they entered the theater by a window
shortly after the last load of scenery
had gone and the man in charge had
made his round and locked up for the
night. At that place he also found a
bundles of matches fastened together
by rubber band. The heads had been
burned off. 1t is the managers be-
lief that these We're the matches used
to ignite the fuse. Considerable of the
latter has also been found. as have
more pieces of the shell or cylinder
that contained the explosive.

Denison, Sept. 7.-Mr. John D
Sievers, for many years resident OF
this city, but recently in business at
Omaha, is here violently sick from the
results of the negligence Of an attend
ant at Colfax, Iowa.
Two weeks ago his wife went from
Omaha to Colfax for treatment for
rheumatism. Later Mr.. Sievers visited
her, and having cold decided to take
a Turkish bath. It would appear that
the attendant put him in the bath
and went out, locking the door, and 1T
is believed left him for an hour. When
the attendant returned Mr.. Sievers was
insane and this developed so violently
that his relatives in California were
summoned in haste.
Two days ago he was brought to
Denison to the home of his father-1n-
law. Mr.. Gronau. His condition is yet
critical.
OF course his relatives and friends
are aroused with feeling over the oc-
currence. Mr.. Sievers has been en-
gagged in banking at Cheyenne and is
a man of means and standing.

Logan, Sept. AFTER four years of
litigation the Pegg marriage contract
case was settled out of court yester-
day by the heirs of Elias w. Pegg pay
ing $500 to Margaret Peeg- Asher, also
the cost Of the claim case.
Elias W. Pegg and Margaret Asher,
of Clay township signed u common law
marriage contract and lived as husband
and Wife for twenty one years. when
Elias w. Pegg died leaving no will and
an estate of about $4,000 Following
the death Of Mr.. Pegg. the Pegg rela-
tives took possession of the property,
leaving the widow of the marriage con-
tract unprovided for. Shortly after
wards she commenced an action for her
portion of the property, but the courts
held that the contract did not const-
tute lawful contract, az in certain
business transactions the contracting
parties had not recognized each other
as husband and wife.
After the supreme court decided that
she was not the wife. but tho house
keeper of Elias w. Pegg. she began
dctlon TO recover 1Or tWentN-one years
service; Judge Macy held that she was
not entitled to compensation for her
services. but the supreme court of Iowa
declined to affirm the decision of Judge
Macy; hence the deposed widow was
entitled to receive a consideration for
her services. resulting in the Pegg rel
atives paying the cost of the claim eX

ACCOUNTS SHORT, BANKER GONE
Grand Jury Probing Affairs of Cashier
McLenan at Alton


Creston, Sept. Tt is reported that
an alleged shortage in the accounts
of L. w. McLenan, former cashier of
the Citizens Bank at Alton, is being
investigated by the grand jury. The
bank itself, which was recently pur-
chased by the present owners, is not
affected, the men who controlled it
during McLenans incumbency as CASH
Ter having given a joint note to cover
any shortage that might exist. A quiet
has been under way for
some time and it is reported here that
q shortage of more than 100000 has
been discovered.
McLenan's wife and daughter are
still at Alton, but his present where
abouts is unknown, save possibly to
members of his family, tho it is report
ed that he is somewhere in Nebraska.
The bank at first was capitalized at
s25 900, this later being increased to
$50, 900. Only a short time before the
transfer, it is said, it sold its stock at
$4O0 a share. McLenan was the owner OF
$4,000 of the capital stock. His part
ners, who signed the note protecting
the purchasers Of the bank, were Franli
Huelson, w. r. Wilson, Newt Eperson
and Burd Brothers.
McLenan's friends say that the short
age is due entirely to bad loans, tho
there have been rumors that he spec
ulated extensively on the Chicago
board Of trade.
In addition to his bank duties Nc
Lenan was the conservator Of small
estate for Mary Shepherd, an insane
woman. In this matter the American
Securities Company Of Des Moines
was on his bond for $4,000, but it is
not now known whether the state is
involved in the shortage.
