HAD sLAsHED HIS CLOTHES
Police Believe Prisoner Hoped to Gain
Reward by Posing as Protector
Of Property--May Be
-. Insane.

Chicago, Oct AFTER placing Q
bomb beside the residence Of Mrs. Pot
ter Palmer and cutting his coat into
| shreds with butcher knife, piercing
his skin, Fred C. Wahlenmeyer. TWEEN
ty-six years old, attempted to gain en-
trance to the mansion. He was ar
rested
Wahlenmeyer demanded an audi.
ence with Mrs. Palmer. but the watch
man, who was the first person encoun-
tered, summoned the police. Wahlen-
meyer at first told story of having
seen another man placing the bomb at
the side of the house, and of strug-
Cling with him.
Household Is Excited.
Later however, the prisoner con-
fessed to having put the explosive
there himself, and to having cut his
! clothes to bear out his narrative. Mrs.
Palmer was at home at the time, and
the whole household was thrown into
excitement by the proximity Of death
or injury from the bomb.
Wahlenmeyer was questioned for
hours by the police, but refused to ex.
plain his motive, hiding behind the
expression:
Why did I do it? Oh, Just for IN
stance"
The police announced they would
| question Mrs. Palmer In regard to re-
ports she had received threatening
letters. in the effort to discover the
mans reason for the act.
The police are proceeding on the
theory that Wahlenmeyer thought to
gain a reward for having saved" the
| house and its occupants from some
mysterious bomb thrower," and that
his mutilation of his clothes was to
substantiate his assertion.
Bomb Out Of Gas Pipe.
Wahlenmeyer said that he was en-.
senator. He said he met her while
| conducting an automobile garage in
Des Moines, but the business venture
proved unsuccessful and he came back
to Chicago. He feared that tie pub
licity of his arrest would cause his
engagement to be broken a. ~.
The bomb was made from a piece OF
two-inch gas pipe IA inches long and
filled with enough powder and nitro
glycerin to blow up several houses.
The fuse had been lighted. but had
been pinched out.
Wahlenmeyer's sister Emily called
at the station house and said her
brother had been suffering from hypo-
chondria, amounting at times to de-
! mentia. He will be taken to the de-
tention hospital and examined as to
his sanity.
Among the effects found In his peck
cts was a note addressed to boy,
dear" and signed Mary. 1t was dated

Blind Baggage Tourists.

Jerry Brown, aged q years, brake
man on Rock Island passengers Nos.

Eldon, was badly injured on the head
at Eldon Saturday evening by being
struck with a brick. The brick was

pay their way. When the train pulled
into Eldon the tramps walked up be-
hind Brown and hurled the brick
which struck him on the head and left
very bad scalp wound. The cul-
prits were caught before they succeed
ed in getting far and are now lodged
in the Eldon Jail Brown was taken

THE BUTTON FACTORY
Work Delayed Because Lumber is
Lost Somewhere

The new factory of the Hawkeys
Pearl Button Company, in course of
erection on South Seventh street,
near the Iowa Central and Burlington
tracks, is moving along as rapidly as
circumstances permit. The railway
switch is in and the foundation is
completed. The frames of the doors
and sash are all completed and deliv-
cred. Other material is on the
ground. The delay in construction
has been occasioned on account of the
slow coming of a quantity of dimen-
sion timber, heavy stuff that was or
dered from the mills the day the con-
tract with the Hawkeye Company was
signed. This material has been lost
or delayed on the way and has been
expected daily for more than two
weeks.
Contractor Pearle Sparks has all
other parts of the building in readi.
ness for putting up the building and
states that after the arrival OF the
missing timber he can have the build
ing completed in two weeks time.
A car load of shells has arrived
ready for the start of operations.
