TOWN OF GREENE PRESENTS
REASONS FOR ITS CLAIMS TO
CHARLES CITY LINE.
MUST BUILD TO THAT TOWN
IF MARsHALLToWN GETS IT
If Rockford is Selected Line Will Go
to Mason City, II Marble Rock is
Chosen Hampton or Iowa Falls Will
Be on Route-Rockford Has Not
Subscribed for Stock.
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Greene. March 7-While the plans of
the Charles City interurban promoters
as to choice of route and ultimate des-
tination are not fully determined there
seems to be q general misunderstand-
ing of the contest between the towns
in thiz section of the state to secure
the line, which is certain to be built.
A statement recently published that
the town of Rockford had subscribed
$4,000 in stock as an inducement to
attract the road to build thru that
place is not exactly correct. Rockford
has subscribed 100000 in stock for
large brick and tile company whose
products would provide much freight
business for the new line and this is
the inducement offered. 1t is the gem
eral opinion here that the old original
route proposed from Charles City to
Marshalltown. by way of Greene. AL
lisun and other direct points. should not
be abandoned.
The facts of the matter are that i'll
Charles City there are three places on
the Rock Island Railroad which they
are considering as the first point to
which the new road will go4Rocllford.
Marble Rock and Greene. They are not
considering Clarksville or Shell Rock.
If the road goes to Rockford ii will go
northwes. to Mason City; if it goes to
Marble Rock it will go southwest to
Hampton or Iowa Falls: if it comes to
Greene it will go south to Allison.
Parkersburg, Grundy Center and Mar
shalltoWn.
1t would seem that if the people south
of Greene, at Allison, Parkersb,rg.
Grundy Center and Marshalltown will
lend support to the project coming to
Greene in the first place there will be
no question about an interurban road
from Charles City to AIarshalltown,
Greene has the advantage of the other
two points in every particular, in To-
cal interest, in business which it can
give the road. and in the superiority
of the route from Greene TO Marshall
town over amy other route.
About thirty delegates from Greene
attended the meeting at Charles City
Thursday evening The sending of
this delegation to Charles City. with
Instructions To put forth its best eff
forts to bring the road to Greene, was
the result of meeting of our bust
ness men on Wednesday evening, in
which meeting it Was the unanimous
sentiment that our town should put
forth it's best efforts to secure the
road for Greene and II paper was cir
culated securing a large. number of
names of our people who agreed to
purchase stock in the road.
There is no question that We can
secure the road for the route outlined
to MarshalltoWn, il we will cooperate,
in our efforts. We of Greene would
like to see the people in Marshalltown
awake to the prospect of this road to
such an extent that the people in
Charles City would be compelled to
build the road this way.

MOTHER AGAINST son
UNUSUAL CASE OF PARENT APP.
FEARING AS PROSECUTING
WITNESS AGAINST BOY.
TROUBLE OVER MONEY MATTERS
LEADS TO FORGERY CHARGE
Taylor County Woman Appears as
Prosecuting Witness Against Her
Own Child and Was Determined to
Send Him to Prison-sympathy Of
Public Turned to Defendant.

Special to Times-Republican.
Creston, March I'd. S. Saunders,
Of Cambridge, Iowa, was convicted of
the crime of forgery in the district
court Of Taylor county, at Bedford
Thursday after four hours elaboration
by the jury. Sentence has not yet
been passed upon the young man. His
mother was the principal witness
against him, and seemingly did every
thing in her power to secure peni-
Tertiary verdict for her son.
The very unusual sight of a mother
making such strenuous effort to send
her son to prison, reacted upon the
audiences that gathered each day to
listen to the trial. to such an extent
that a strong sympathy for the young
man sprang up and many declared he
should be acquitted. His crime, briefly
outlined. by the evidence introduced, is
that the defendant, is the youngest
son of Mrs. Saunders, widow living
near Corning. She is possessed of
considerable property and refused to
loan the young man money from the
estate left by his father at death, and
which the son wished to use to stock
Il farm. he was contemplating buying.
Later the son bought q bill of stock
at a sale, and signed his mothers
name to the note he gave, as security.
Failing in buying the farm. he after
wards sold the stock. but did not take
up THE note and it was sold to j. r.
Cooper, of Conway. When it became
due, young Saunders had removed to
Cambridge, and Mr.. Cooper presented
the note to Mrs. Saunders for payment
She denied the signature, and insti
tuted charges against her son. and
has seemed to take a delight in bringing
him to justice. All the trial. she rem
dered every possible aid TO secure his
conviction and the state introduced a
number of other notes and checks
which it was claimed he had forged.
However, there was no defense made
to these, as lie was only under arrest
for the one charge. But these ended
largely in the jury's conclusion, and
one juryman made the statement that
had it not been for these he would
have been acquitted. Many declared
they would rather be the defendant
going to prison, than the unnatural
mother who sent him there.

hanging himself to a rafter of his barn
on the farm just purchased by him
and on which he had just moved the

reck broken. Coroner Lutes who was
summoned found he had apparently
tried the gun as the shell had been
fired but failed to explode.
He then seems to have assembled a
ladder about twenty feet to a rafter.
where a stout rope was tied. adjusted
it to his neck and made a jump of
fifteen feet breaking the neck.
