FORT MADISON, Iowa. Sept. TO-
Joseph Bolte, at p. m. yesterday,
was given ten year indeterminate
sentence In the state penitentiary at
Fort Madison on the charge Of break
Ing and entering. He entered the in
stitution and began service within an
hour of the sentence.
Rolte's imprisonment closes an al
most unparalleled record OF crime in
the city of Fort Madison. With his
accurate knowledge of every turn and
corner In the city, gained through his
long residence here, and with a sub
tile cunning his hand and mind were
undoubtedly the factors of series of
robberies which extended over sew
eral years. He had a wide circle OF
friends whose conscientious belief of
his innocence overshadowed the first
small suspicious of his guilt and 1t
was not until the robbery Of the
Hueseer saloon, the crime for which
he was sentenced, that the officials
took the matter in their hands and
raided his home to find 1t bullying
with plumber.
The case is not without its sad
side: The robberies were never Of a
large scale and the sentence may
seem heavy one inasmuch as two
other similar charges hang over him.
He has family.

FIND Ia FEET OF
PURE GYPSUM
centerviIle People Discover Pure Rich.
es Hidden Under Their Town,
Causing Great Stir.

CENTERVILLE, Sept. 2o.-The dis
covery of an eighteen foot vein of
practically pure gypsum directly be-
meath the city of Centeryille by pros
pect drillers has caused great citation
among the members of the company
recently organized to do the prospect
ing. The first intimation that there
might be bed of gypsum located here
was last winter when the Scandina-
Wan Coal Co. was prospecting for
deeper veins of coal. Instead of find
ing coal they found a four foot vein
of as pure a quality of gypsum as
exists anywhere. This encouraged the
organization of company with $1,000
stock to put down other holes, after
The first hole showed nothing but
slight traces Of the deposit, it being
near fault in the geological struc-
ture. The next hole was put down in
the opposite direction from the
original hole, and the vein was struck
at 672 feet and continued for eighteen
feet The gypsum taken out is of a
softer. winter quality than in the first
find, and appears to be as near pure
as can be. Samples have been sent to
Ames for analysis. A meeting of the
members of the company is to be
called for one evening this week when
future plans will be discussed. 1t is
probable now that still another hole
will be put down in yet another direc-
ton. The prospecting has all been
within the city limits in the southwest
part of town. The last hole in which
the eighteen foot vein was found lies
in the direction of the main part of
town from the first hole, indicating
that the vein may run directly beneath
the city.
