Reports from Muscatine this morn

numerous acts OF depredations at the
homes OF nonunion workers during the

The situation there Is regarded as
more serious than at any time since
the trouble began. The failure OF the
opposing forces to reach an agreement
after a tentative plan for the settle

by both sides, is said to have accentu-

Story City. April 22.-Niels P. Mel

ment in the Ohio state penitentiary at
Columbus. O., has interested many peo-
pie in this vicinity. must serve out his
seven years term, according to news
just received from Judge Gushing, who
presided at his trial. Judge Gushing
is said to have found that Nelson is
an old Jail bird. having done time in
Joliet, ILL.,. twelve years ago.
Nelson's case presented some re-
markable features. and he was on the
point Of being released, upon Judge
Cushing's recommendation. when evil
dence pointing to previous criminal
career came to light. When It was
first learned that he was in an Ohio
Jail. his relatives and friends here
raised fund to send to a local at

what could be done for him.
Mr.. Jessen took with him affidavits
testifying to Nelson's good repu tation
while he lived here and also procured
affidavits from Oklahoma showing that
Nelson was there on the date speci-
fed in one Of the indictments against
him.
The prosecuting attorney Of Cincin-
natl has now proved that Nelson once
before had been convicted Of g. crime
similar to the one Of which he was
charged in Ohio.
The people Of this place who took
such an active part in trying to get
Nelson out Of the penitentiary were
ignorant OF his first imprisonment and
believed that he was the victim of
circumstances. While they are cha
grined over the outcome, they feel they
have done only their duty in getting
the matter cleared even tho it did not
result in freeing Mr.. Nelson.
