Old Skeleton Found.

Clinton, Oct. 24.-Special: The
skeleton of a man das discovered
this afternoon by some boys who were
gathering hickory nuts in a tract OF
timber near Camanche. The bones
evidently had lain for several years
Coroner Kellogg believes the skeleton
to be that of John Douglas, an aged
negro who disappeared from here five
years ago. The skull has African
characteristics and the frame is 81
gantic. Douglas was more than six
feet tall The puzzle of the case is
how the bones could have lain undis.
turbed for so long. They were with
in few rods of the Iowa &c Illinois
Interurban railway and cattle had
trampled part of the skeleton into the
ground. The larger bones remained
intact Nearby was found a shoe

AMONG LOCAL MINES
News Notes From Various Camps
in the Coal Field.

The death losses in the U. NJ. w. A.
District 10 have been comparatively
light this month, the officers having
paid but five since the first of Octo-
Der. On October IA the union paid
the first installment of the total dis
ability claim to Robert Holmes, of
Buxton, who is now in the Methodist
hospital in Des Moines with frac-
ture of the back. 1t is to be hoped
that Mr.. Holmes will get sufficiently
strong in a year or two to be able to
perform some light labor.
The big coal shaft in the vicinity
of Dallas g miles east and south of
that place. is now down to a, depth
of IS feet. The total depth will be
1870 or 200 feet. The company is now
working the shaft sinkers day and
night in three relay shifts of eight
hours each The shaft is to be refined
with concrete reinforced with iron
and steel rods and bands instead of
the usual wooden curb material.

Kellogg Enterprise: While sinking
deep well on the ]. B. Burton farm,
about one mile northwest OF Kellogg,
| the past week. a vein of excellent
coal was found at depth of 140 feet.
Mr.. Rosebrook, geologist, from 0s-
kaloosa, was here Wednesday looking
ever the ground and is inclined TO the
opinion that coal exists in paying
quantities and of superior quality. It
is understood that several holes will
be drilled in the vicinity to test the
thickness of the vein and, If deemed
advisable, a shaft will be sunk.

There are close to 5000 acres in the
Rock Island coal field at Dallas, and
it is estimated that it will last at
least thirty-hve years. The Com
pany's coal fields lin the vicinity OF
Des Moines will be practically work
ed out within five years, which was
one imperative reason for the build
ing of this new line to open the
Dallas field.

CANNOT WORK ON ROADS
If They Do Township Trustees
Cannot Receive Pay.

There has been considerable discus,
sion and some disagreement regard
ing the duties of the township trus
tees relating to the Improvement of
the highways. Nels J. Lee. special
counsel of Attorney General Cosson's
office, has just handed down an
opinion to the effect that TOWNSHIP,
trustees cannot do work on the roads
and receive compensation. This
opinion was requested by citizens OF
Carroll county. Counsel Lee holds
that it is not only illegal, but an in
dictable offense for township
trustee TO receive compensation for
such work.

CYANIDE DRINK IS
TRACED TO PARSON
Richeson Gave Me Powder
Girl Told Chum.
DAMAGING POINT is SCORED
Miss Avis linneII Confded to a
Friend, Just Before Her Death,
That She Was Given a "Head- &c.
ache" Cure.


Boston, Oct. 23.-Special: That a
former sutton for the hand of Miss
Avis Linnell is responsible for her
death, that he, and not the Rev. Mr.
Richeson, gave the girl the poison
that killed her, will be one of the
chief points of the defense in the trial
The Edmands family will probably
set up an alibi for Richeson, saying
that he was at the Edmands home
during Saturday, the day that the pc
lice say he met Miss Linnell and
gave her the poison. {
Boston, Oct 23.-Most damaging of
all points scored by the police against
Rev. Clarence Richeson, held without
bail as the poisoner of Miss Avis Lin
nell, is a statement by chum of the
dead girl that shortly before her death
Miss kinnell said to her that she had
just been with her friend" as she al
ways referred TO Richeson, and that
he had given her some powder that
would cure her.
81 am so happy" Miss Linnell told
the other girl, the police say. Now
shall not have any more headaches"
The other girl was not aware OF
Avis predicament and the little Hyan
mis- girl naturally wished to conceal
her real trouble, referring to it as
headaches"
Evidence Is Most important.
The police regard this as the mos
important evidence they have OBJ
tanned against the minister since
Hahn, the druggist, came forward with
the information that he had sold 6
large amount of cyanide of potassium
to Richeson ito kill dog"
1t is the first link connecting thu
cyanide with the former pastor of thu
fashionable Emmanuel Baptist churcl
in Cambridge, is known to have
bought. and with similar poison Miss
Linncll drank and died from in thu
bathroom of the Y W. c. A. in thi'
city.
The police refuse to give out thu
name of the restaurant where they sa.
they have been told Richeson and Mis-
Linnell lunched together a few hour
before she swallowed the fatal poison
Newspaper men have searched il
vain.
/ 1t is vital to the case that il shout,
be established that Mr.. Richeson ant
Miss Linnell met on the Saturda.
prior to the latter's death. At detec
tive headquarters 1t is stated that tn
authorities believe the fact can be es
| tablshed.
Real JekyIl and Hyde.
