The crowds at the lower lock Sun
day Afternoon saw an interesting sight
when the steamer Gardie Eastman
was locked through enroute north
with a construction camp spread out
on several barges and a quarterboat
which were being pushed by the
steamer. The barges formed a big
raft and this was loaded down with
horses, wagons, tents, household
goods and people. 1t looked like a
town being moved and the outfit at
tracted much attention from the peo-
pie. The fleet was bound for the quar-

will be obtained for government

A submerged log caught beneath
the lower gates of the lock and it
took about half hour before the
steamer and its outfit could be lock.

The steamer Columbia with its ex-

After having been employed for

The ghost of his past life bobbed up
most unexpectedly when he took the
stand in his own defense It appeared
in the form of a picture from the
rogue's gallery and depicted Stubbs
shaven and shorn, and wearing the
garb which was his suit as a convict
in the states penitentiary. According
to the information received in Des

trial, Stubbs lost his nerve and drop

ness on his death-bed confessed to
the crime, Is said to have been his
confession when confronted with the
evidence of his conviction for crime
in Iowa. His case in Justice court has
not been concluded.
Says No Confession.
Did the prosecuting witness confess
to the crime for which Stubs served
sentence for two and one-half years,
as he ayers. or was he really guilty?
John Newburn, who was the prose
cutting attorney in the case against
Stubs, emphatically stated that this
part Of Stubs story is untrue. He
derides the. clemency of two governors
who paroled and pardoned Stubs for
the crime of extortion of money to
the amount of $500 from Philip Pilm-
er. farmer living across the line in
Warren county
According to Mr. Newburn's record
Of the case, Stubs with two pals
went to the home of the farmer and
is alleged to have claimed themselves
as owners of a piece of land adjoining
the Pilmer farm. The sale of land was
made to Pilmer who later discovered
the rightful owner.
Stubs was convicted in the War
rem county court in 1898 but was pa
rolled by Governor Leslie M. Shaw on
July %, 1900. Two years later Gov.
ernor A. B. Cummins, the then chief
executive of the state, pardoned
Stubbs His full pardon came several
months before the expiration of his
term.
Goes to California.
Stubs went to California where
he engaged in the realty brokerage
business He was resident of Des
Moines for eighteen years prior to
his conviction to the states peniten'
tiary. Following his release he went
to California where he became engag

business men who were formerly as
ISOLATED with him in business in Des
Moines assert that this is the frs
time charges have been brought
against him for misconduct or crime
since he left prison and are confident
that he is falsely represented in this

FENDER TO PROTECT
One Has Been Constructed From the
Northeast Corner and Extending

The crib work for the first big cot
fer-dam built by the Mississippi River
Power Company is being closed today.
This work has been under construc-
ton for nearly three months, having
been begun on January % when the
first crib was built on the north line
The coffer-dam cribs number eighty
eight and in each crib there are 90
600 feet of lumber, or a total of 1,760,-
600 feet. With the completion of this
upper division of the crib work, the
Canadian builders will turn their at
tention to the lower division immedi-
ately. The first cribs in this con-
struction will be built to extend south
from the line running parallel with
the river.
Extending diagonally UP the river
from the northeast corner of the pow

built big fender, which will have
the effect of throwing the current fur.
Their out into the river, and will pro
tect the eaSt line OF Tue collef-udul

to be implicated in
Many Robberies.
POLICE SOLVE PUZZLE
Chief of Police Schiller Believes He
Has Run Down the Man Re-
sponsibe for Number
Of Them.
Especial to The Gate CITY |


FORT MADISON, April 20.-A veri-
table storeroom for plumber was dis
covered by the police here today and
has led to the arrest of Joseph Bolte,
laborer, who is believed to have
been implicated in at least eight rob-
berries that have occurred in Fort Mad
ison during the past six months.
Joseph Huesers saloon corner of
Maple and Second streets, was robbed
Tuesday night and Bolte was suspect
ed by the police. Today his home was
visited and some OF the stolen proper
ty found in addition to hundreds of
dollars worth of other merchandise
which is thought to be a part of that
stolen from various stores and homes
recently. In nearly every room in the
house from cellar to garnet were
found articles, many of which have
been identified by the officers.
Bolte was Immediately placed under
arrest. Two charges have been pre-
ferred against him and others may
follow. He is married man and has
four children
In his robbery Of the saloon Tues
day night his sixteen year old son
was made to leave his bed and assist
in breaking and entering the place
The son will not be prosecuted. In
the instance of this robbery entrance
was effected by cutting circular hole
through the panel Of the door and un
locking the spring lock and raising
the catch. Fifty dollars worth o
, whisky and cigars We're taken.
; The police have long been puzzled
because of the daring acts of thu
robber, who, until the recent one, lef
behind him no clues which could b.
followed At headquarters this after
noon Chief of Police Henry Schie
advanced the theory that Bolte di
e not have an accomplice in any of hi
! robberies with the possible exception
of his son, who is believed to hav
worked only in the saloon entrance.
