Des Moines. April 3o.-That was a
remarkable interesting story which de-
veloped vest erday in the board of pa
role and it deserves ito be told in its
completeness because it illustrates
situation about which very little is
known. The parole board desired that
no mention be made of the name of the
person most interested-the innocent
boy released after a year in the state
reformatory. No good could come now
from exploiting his connection with it,
The boy told a convincing story of in
nocence Another prisoner was inter-
viewed and he confesses that he alone
was concerned in the robbery of a car.
The latter was convicted upon identtf-
cation of a pair of shoes which had
been stolen from the car. The boy had
been identified somewhat vaguely as
having been seen at the car. The board
became convinced that the latter was
innocent and that the two persons
serving for the same crime had never
known each other at all. The county
attorney who convicted both, wrote
that upon investigation he is sure now
that the boy was innocent. More than
. that it is found that the boy had shown
determined honesty under temptation.
OF course a full pardon was at once
commended. The parole board comes
up against many cases almost as IN
teresting as this, but from the nature
of the work nothing is ever said of
most of the cases.

FERNALD HAS BAD FIRE.
Story County Town Loses Elevator and
Lumber Yards.


Nevada, April 30.-A fire which de-
stroyed property to the value Of $4,000
and threatened to wipe out the little
town Of Fernald north of here on the
Short line, broke out late yesterday
afternoon.
The Western Grain Company eleva-
tor, valued at $4,000, was destroyed
together with 5000 bushels of cribbed
ear corn, 5000 bushels Of oats, and
100 tons of soft coal belonging to the
company. G. A. Duntz, owner of the
lumber and implement business, lost a
$4,000 stock of lumber, a $4,000 stock
of implements and a building worth
$4,000. One small store building worth
$500 was consumed, four gondola cars
on the tracks were burned and many
nearby buildings We're fired at different
times bat were saved.
There was absolutely no fire protec-
ton in the town and the wind was
blowing q. gale. The fire startedLsfrom
a bonfire, spread to barn, then to the
cribs, east to the elevator, then to the
lumber yard. The grain company was
insured, but there is doubt as to wheth-
er the Duntz property was covered by
insurance. Duntz is an Ames man and
secured possession Of the property last
Monday. The insurance had been can
celled while the property was in litiga-
ton.

couple later went to Omaha when the
girl transferred her affections, to an
other man and Mapes in a frenzy Of
jealous rage gave her up to the police
at the expense of prison term for
himself. Both were lodged in jail and
indicted. The girl furnished cash
bond and skipped. Mapes was sent
to Anamosa reformatory for term Of
Ave years. He alleged he was within
the age limit to secure admission to
this institution. 1t was afterwards
shown he had lied about his age and
he was taken to Fort Madison.
From the day Mapes was incarcer-
ated, he has been trying to obtain his
freedom and thru some means or
other has succeeded in getting his
case into the federal court, where he
seeks writ of habeas corpus, no
doubt on the grounds that he is illeg-
ally detained at Fort Madison on ac-
count of his age.

sentenced Jack Maher and John
Brady to one year each in the federal
prison at Leavenworth, Kan, under
charges of bootlegging, Of which both
were found guilty by jury in the
United States court at Davenport late
Thursday afternoon.
The announcement of the sentence
struck terror to those under similar
charges, and pathetic appeals for con-
tinuances were in order, and in the
actions against James Rifles, Joseph
Oppelt, Charles, Raines and Robert
Riepe, the appeals had the desired ef-
feet, thus they will remain at liberty
under bonds. until next fall.
