Witness Simpson, Now Immune from

system-Prosecution Learns Of Other
Extensive Operations of Band.

Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, March 1.-THE ar
rival in the city from Spokane, Wash,
Of Mr. Howard B.. Simpson, has caused
everybody, even the government at
torneys and secret service men, to
place a new estimate upon the sums
which the Mabray syndicate has real
lied from it's operations in this and
other cities. Mr.. Simpson says that
the sum exceeds $5,00O,000, and no one
who has heard him talk upon the wit
ness stand or off of 1t, will dispute him
or hesitate to believe but that he is
telling the truth He talks with an air
of finality that is convincing, and
| moreover, he has the figures. Simpson
was the star witness in an all-star
cast which the government has pre-
sented the public and one that shows
fine training. 1t is regarded as sig
nificant, in considering Simpsons re-
liability and position in this case, that
when he talked on the witness stand,
| it was with decided frmness. It was
yes or no and the attorneys for the de-
Tense appeared before the Spokane
gentleman with all the Difference that
would be due a national officer. His
| statements were not questioned and
the man making them was handled
| with gfoves-soft gloves, too. They
| knew he knew and did not care to
rouse him to greater action.
Simpson taught the members of the
organization all that they know. He
was a past master at the art and
knew the business when Mabray and
his pals were nosing about for some-
thing easy, yet not knowing just how
to land. But something occurred to
mar the cordial relations that existed
between Simpson and Herman,
Brown and Mabray. ct al, and now
Simpson is getting his-in the form Of
revenge He has grudge to square
and if it is not squared when he has
finished with them it will be strange.

FIVE CHILDREN ABANDONED.
Father Drives Wife From Home and
Children Ara Turned Adrift.

Children Are Turned Adrift..
| Boone, March 1.-THE story OF the
! desertion OF five children, the oldest II
years of age, reads like an Impossible
tale. The children came here over from
Ogden on the morning train and sat for
some time in the depot before the po-
lice found out about them and took
them to the rest room. There they had
| a most uncommon story to tell and
they told it in a~number of ways, but
with generally the same idea in it.
There are five of them, the eldest a
girl Of IL, or thereabout, acting toward
her younger brothers and sisters In a
motherly way.
The children belong to a Mr.. and
Mrs Ethel, of Ogden. The father. it
may be remembered, recently sued his
son for the possession of a horse which
he had previously given to the boy.
When the case came to trial Ethel lost
his suit and returned to his home and
family in no pleasing frame Of mind.
From that point the children here tell
the following:
u When their father came home from
Boone after losing his case, according
to the children he set upon his wife
and beat her because the testimony
|
husband and father had told her to tell.
And further, according to their story,
the father turned the mother out of the
house and she came to Boone.
The eldest Of the children has tried
to be a mother to the little ones since
the mother left them a week ago, but
the father purchased a ticket to Boone
and sent the youngsters here for the
mother to care for, saying, they claim,
that he did not want to see them again.
The mother was hunted up, but said
she had no way of supporting them
and she-wept a little at having to part
with her baby, a boy of about years.
However, when she was asked later To
come tothe children and assist in their
care while here she refused to see
them. claiming Il they were to be taken
she did not want to see them again.
The little one have not wanted for
care since they arrived in Boone, as
Mrs. Mcpherson has attended to their
wants. The children are very quiet and
nice little things and, very affectionate
with one another. 1t is the hope of the
eldest, the Little Mother as some are
calling her, that il they arc given
homes, she may have her little brother
to care for.

Rolfe, March 17-Just a few minutes
before closing time last night at one
Of the rural schools, about two miles
east Of town, one of the girl pupils,
about IA years Of age, went to the
AS soon as she got inside the door was
closed like flash and she found her
self in the clutches of man who
looked to be perhaps 25~>er 80 years
of age, weighing about $50 pounds. He
threw coat over her head to smother
the scream she was endeavoring to let
out, and in a coarse, brutal voice the
fiend told the girl that if she made
any noise he would kill her. and only
on her promise of obedience would he
remove the coat sufficiently to allow
her to breathe.
The girl says he was short, stout
man, very dark complexioned. with a
dissipated appearing face that was con-
torted with the evil mind within Fear
held the girl in suspense during the few
minutes Of her captivity, but they
seemed like hours to her in her state
Of terror.
Makes His Escape.
When the pupils were dismissed at
the conclusion of the school session, a
younger sister thought to give the
older one scare so ran to the toilet
and tried to throw the door open sud-
denly but found it apparently secure
from Within while the nuffled sound
of a mans voice could be heard inside
In desperation from fear the younger
girl exerted all her strength and forced
the door open with such violence as to
throw her off her balance, and man
jumped over her and made for shelter
in nearby corn field.
The alarm was instantly given to the
entire neighborhood, but all the men
being either out in their fields or some
distance from the telephone, it took
some time to get party out. A search
of the vicinity was made without re-
suit, and the fellow escaped a prob
able punishment that would undoubt-
edly have been salutary to say the
least.
Some think that the teacher was the
intended victim, and robbery the mo-
tive. The teacher is a young lady Of
20 years whose parents live in Brad
gate.

QUEER EARAcHE CASE

medical case has just come to light in

en- quite i'll while at her work in the
Douglass store a few days ago and had
to go to her home on South Story
street. AT first she did not know what
was the matter, her ears ached and
she was troubled with pains in her
most uncommon situation presented
itself
Seven years ago while, romping
around the grounds, about Miss Phe-
lan's home. a fuzzy sticker," got
lodged in Miss Phelan's left ear It
was small, but the projecting prongs
caused much pain at the time The
pain soon ceased and the girl gave no
more thought to the matter. A few
days ago when the pains required she
rem embered the seed which became
embedded in the ear seven years pre-
viously, and told the physician of the
ear and there found the seed, just as
it was when it was embedded such a
long time ago. Upon the removal of
the seed, the pains eased considerably
and Miss Phelan is now rapidly re-
covering, altho still unable to be at
her work. The case has no parallel in
this city, and perhaps none in the
state.
