comforts besides long hair Trousers
were tight and buttOned under the foot
with broad straps Every man who
aspired TO be we'll dressed wore his
coat 50 high in the collar that the

fashion was so prevalent that. accord

had a crescent of cloth on the back of
the brim to prevent the rubbing of the

the hat was made, for silk hats were
not then invented" And from the
same authority we learn that opera

BACON

Herbert Dickout. the early morning
bandit" who attempted to hold up the X.
c. saloon on South Main street and was
shot by c. A. Burrlght, the proprietor. was
sentenced by Judge Wheeler in district
court Saturday to an indeterminate SEN
tence of not exceeding five years in the
state reformatory at Ananmosa- AS Dick
out is only % years Of age this was the ex-
treme sentence that could be imposed upon
him. The charge under the indictment re-
turned against Dlckout was assault with
intent to commit robbery.
Dickout when arraigned IN district court
after his removal to the county Jail from
Mercy hospital, where he was taken after
being shot by Burright, entered a plea of
not guilty. He changed his mind since and
after consulting with his attorney decided
to change his plea to one Of guilty.
Dickout before attempting the hold-up
at the X. c. saloon helc up the bartender
at the Emmett house saloon and forced
him to enter the ice box while he robbed
the cash register. He also held up the
night operator at the Rock Island depot
The bullet which Dickout received in the
shoulder from Burrights revolver has
never been removed, as 1t was thought best
by City Physician Tubbs who attended
him, that 1t should remain where 1t was
embedded in the flesh.
