ALCONA vs.. WEBSTER
CITY NEXT SATURDAY
Local High School Football Sched-
ule Contains Three More
Good Matches.

The remaining schedule for the
local high school football team Is
complete and consists of three very
good matches. Only one game, how
ever, is to be played In this city and
that is the session billed for Thanks
giving day with the bunch from
Eagle Grove.
Next Saturday the locals will go
to Algona and try out with the elev-
en- there. These two teams met In
one of the first games Of the season
and Webster City defeated them in
hard battle. On the 25th, Coach
Meyer and his band Of pigskin ar
lists will journey to AmeS 'or
demonstration of their stl b
against that squad. Although An>
is one of the most feared teams In
this section, the local boys feel sure
they will return home as victors.
The home aggregation have been
defeated but once in the four games
in which they have participated. In
that one game, played with Dess
Moines, they were out of their class.
From this game the men learned
more about football than in all of
their other practice. Since that con-
test Prof. Meyer has held several
scrub games and the difference made
by the defeat received at the hands
of the capital city squad is easily
seen by him.
The session next Saturday with
Algona will be we'll attended BY
Webster City rooters If the wealth
er is agreeable. The local team are
very confident of winning in this
contest as they did in their former
game with Algona, In the former
contest, however. they We're over
confident and did not take the All
gona squad seriously enough. This.
according to their way OF thinking.
accounts for the close SCORES to IL
| in favor of Webster City. The squad
will have some very hard work outs
this week, owing to the fact that
they have not played for some time.
This rest has put every man who
was out Of the game on account Of
injuries back into condition. and
when the whistle sounds for the
kickoff next Saturday. the team Will
be as strong as they have been At
any time this year.

A New Daily.

The Ames Daily Intelligencer IS
at hand, the first number being issu-
ed on Thursday. the 9Th. Ames Is
town OF about $500 people and
Mr.. Conway realizes that he has
some hard work before him to make
the daily success, but he can do u
IL he persists. The first daily paper
was established in Webster City
about twenty years ago by w. A.
Hutton. 1t was later absorbed by
the Graphic-Herald and after a few
years Of precarfous existence gave
up the ghost. Lon Hardin OF the
Ames Times was for time connect
ed with the paper. Since then a
number OF other dallies have been
launched here. but all succumbed
except the Daily Freeman-Tribune.
However, Ames Is now better town
than Webster City was fifteen OF
twenty years ago, and 1t would seem
that q good live daily paper ought
to succeed there. Here IL hoping
that the Ames Daily Intelligencer
may grow and prosper and become
one Of the substantial daily Journals
OF the state.

the same. One OF the safest and

any young couple could make today
would be a home Money spent that
way in fixed values can always be
realized, and the comfort and happi-
ness derived therefrom can not be

BOWLING TEAM WILL
BE ORGANIZED
Webster City to Have Aggregation
to Compete With Surround
ing Towns.

Webster City is to have regular
bowling team. The organization OF
such bunch will be welcomed with
pleasure by people who are interest,"
ed in this sport. Almost every town
in this vicinity has a squad of this
kind, Webster City being an excep-
tion to the general, rule.
The D. c. Chase alleys are now
under the management of VIM.
Thompson, a we'll known local bar
Der, and the practicing of the new
team will be held at that place. One
Of the first challenges to be issued
by the home team will be to Fort
Dodge. The Dodgers are considered
very fast, as they have been to-
gether a number of years. There
Is some very fine material In the
bowling line in this city and 1t is
thought that with the necessary
practice the home team can make 1t
exceedingly interesting for the
gypsum city bowlers. There are
several bowlers here who can roll
around the 200 mark almost any
time.
A meeting for the selection OF the
members of the local team will prob
ably be called some time this week

GET A LITTLE OVER 90 DOLLARS
Places are Entered by Prying Win.
dows 0pen-Money Taken
From Cash Registers.

Another robbery was reported
Saturday morning. This time the
places visited by the thieves were
the J. M. Richardson jewelry store.
the J. w. Schroeder drug store, and
the ]. c. sheehan billiard parlors.
AS has been the case in other hap-
penings of this nature, these robber-
les seem to be the work of novices.
These unknown midnight visitors
have been at work in this vicinity
for the past two months and though
they have made no great hauls, IN
several occasions the property TAX
en- by them has amounted to quite
a little.
Entrance to the jewelry and drug
stores, owned by ]. M. Richardson
and J. w. Schroeder, respectively,
was gained through the window on,
the east side OF the building. THIS
was accomplished by first prying ths
top Of the window open until 1t was va
possible for them to reach the lock
They then forced the lock and droRs
ped the top window After this faa
been done 1t was very easy for them
tc crawl through. The profits to the
burglars from their nights work in
this place amounted to about twen-
ty dollars. 1T was taken from the
two cash registers, the two dealers
being about equal losers from the
robbery. Nothing outside of these
cash drawers seemed to be of inter-
est to the holdup men. The safe
belonging to the Richardson store
was in the same condition as it was
left Friday night by the proprietor
of the establishment. From ev1-
dences next morning nothing to
wards blowing it was done. A rath-
er unexpected feature of the
occurrence Is the fact that none OF
the silyerware or other valuable ar
ticles in the show cases and side
walls was taken.
At the billiard parlors owned by
J. C. Sheehan about. three dollars
was procured by the burglars. This
was all in small change, as 1t Is the
habit OF the clerk who locks the
place at night to place the larger
money in the safe. In this case al
so the safe was left with no evidence
OF tampering with 1t. Entrance to
this place was also gained by pry-
ing one Of the rear windows open.
Don Brewer, clerk at the Schroe-
der drug store, had considerable
money in his pocket that night,
the sum amounting to over one hun
dred dollars. In the evening when
about to leave the store he placed
It in the cash register intending 20
leave it there until morning. How
ever, when on his way home he was
suddenly struck with the thought
that the money was not safe and af-
ter some consideration he returned
to the store, took the money from
the cash drawer and went to his
home. The premonition and what
1t led to was very lucky circum-
stance.

tion was seen about 10 o'clock Mon
day evening at Highview and it is
thought Lee was continuing his trip
eastward. No robberies were COM
mitted in this place, however.
Some time after midnight Mon
day night the /. G. station, a meat
market and a drug store were burg
larized at Blairsburg, about twenty
miles east of Judd. Only So in small
change was secured from the /. G..
station. Forty cents, the city mar
shal's revolver and box of shells
were taken from the meat market
and S. in money and between $50
and 500 in fancy leather goods
from the drug store.
The supposition is that Lee, after
these two robberies, feeling he had
money enough to carry him through.
took no more chances and stealing
rides by night on freights and hid
ing by day made his way into Chi
cago where he is probably hiding at
present.
To say the least Lees career IN
this section OF the country has been
a sensational one. His attitude
while in Jail and the daring man
ner in which all the work attributed
to him has been done, stamps him
as an old and experienced offender.

A SERIOUS
ACCIDENT
J. W. Schroeder Gets Hot cinder in
His Eye While Looking
Out Of Raised Car
Window.
WAS GOING TO BIA1RsBuRe y.
Brought Home in Automobile May
Lose the Sight in His
Left Eye.
WAS GOING TO BLA1RsBURG

j. w. Schroeder is confined to his
home suffering from a very painful
end serious injury to his left eye,
caused from receiving q hot cinder
in the member while on passenger
train.
Mr.. Schroeder started for Blairs-
burg on the afternoon train Fri
day and while seated In one Of the
coaches was looking out of car
window which was up. When he
was within short distance OF the
town large cinder from the engine
blew into his eye and it was badly
burned.
As the Injury was very painful.
Mr.. Schroeder consulted a physician
as soon as he arrived in Blairsbufg.
Upon examination It was found that
his eyeball was badly scorched. An
automobile was secured at that
place as soon as possible and the in
jured man was brought to this city
and taken to his nome. the injury
Is still giving him great pain and
he is under the care Of physicians,
While 1t is hoped that the sight OF
the eye can be saved It is rather
doubtful, as the injury is Of q very
serious nature. Even IL 1t is possible
to save the sight, 1t will probably
be several weeks before the genial
druggist will be able to use the in
tured member again.
"Jake's' many friends will be
sorry to hear OF the unfortunate
happening and will hope he may
come out OF the ordeal with his eye
sight preserved.

Thieves Enter the Shooting Gallery
Of John Wesley Adams and
Get Nothing.

Burglars entered the shooting gal
lery owned by John w. Adams Sum
day night by forcing the rear door.
AS Mr.. Adams had taken the cash
from the money drawer upon clos
ing Saturday night, nothing was
stolen by the midnight marauders.
The door through which they gain
ed entrance to the building was bad
" smashed. The large bolt on the
door was forced from 1t. In ordec
to accomplish this great strength
must have been used. Though Mr..
Adams has quite a stock of cart
ridges and rifles in his place, moth
ing was taken by the thieves.
