CHIEF WALLS HELD Up
Men Wanted For Robbery Resist
Arrest and Make Getaway.

Chief of Police Arthur Walls of
Oskaloosa was held up near the site
of the old Siebel Mill about eight
o'clock last evening by a couple of
men he was attempting to arrest, re-
lieved of his gun and kept covered
while the men quietly retreated. The
men were wanted in connection with
burglaries committed at Martins
burg and Grinnell. The attention of
the chief was attracted to the pair as
they came sneaking through the Iowa
both of them wore new shoes. Chief
Walls overhauled the men and as he
started to search them he knocked
two pair of shoes from under the coat
of one. The other man then step
ped behind and Walls started to pull
his gun. The fellow warned him not
to pull and as the officers hand sought
his gun the fellow pulled the trigger
of gun he held within a foot of the
chiefs head. The other tramp then

and threw up the hand as the other
man put the gun hard against the
chest of the victim and said, Don't
you move" The men thus had the po-
licemen foul. They hurriedly snatch
ed away his gun, picked up the shoes
and turning walked away unmolested.
Officers were soon notified and the
telephone was busy. A posse was
organized later under direction of the
sheriff, Ike Reed, and secured the
country in the direction the men had
been seen to take, but all to no pur-
pose. The rural telephone was set
at work at daylight this morning and
the police have hope of apprehend.
ing the thugs.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES
Enjoyable Occasions In the City's
Homes and Halls.

One of the most pleasant social af
fairs ever given at the Oskaloosa
Hospital was reception rendered
Friday afternoon in honor of Mrs.
Rosetta Minor Hoskins at the dining
hall at the Hospital building on G
avenue east. Mrs. Hoskins terminal
ed her connection with the hospital
September first, and the reception
was a sort of goodbye event. The
nurses of the hospital now in service
and the graduate nurses, those who
have served during the administra-
ton of Miss Minor, assisted by Miss
Gilchrist, the new superintendent,
gathered at the hospital and then
sent for the ambulance. They drove
to the Frank Armour home, where
Mrs Hoskins is a guest and made her
one of the party. The company was
given huTry-up ride about town and
through the business treets. The ap.
pearance of so many young ladies in
the patrol caused big stir as the
wagon was driven through the streets
and excitement ran high as the We
hicle seemed headed for the Jail. But
the patrol, or the ambulance, more
properly, in this instance, did not stop
at the jail The party was returned
to the hospital where the reception
was held. Tasteful decorations of
class colors and roses, the class flow
er, were used and some attractive
place cards were features of the af-
fair. A three-course luncheon was
enjoyed by every member of the par
ty and by Mrs. Hoskins in particular
Regret was expressed by the nurses
that the relations enjoyed under the
former superintendent are terminal
ed, but the assurance was given that
they are to pass into most excellent
hands and training under Miss Gil.
christ, the new superintendent, who
has been at the hospital number of
days.
In appreciation of her excellent
services and friendly relations for
the past three years, the nurses and
other employees OF the hospital gave
Mrs. Hoskins fine mahogany chair.
and the members of the board of man.
agement presented her with a solid
silver toast tray, appropriately en-
graved. Mr.. and Mrs. Hoskins went
to their new home in Pleasant Plain
today. They will make honeymoon
trip later, going to Flower, Kansas,
to visit his brother, M. E. Hoskins.

Cedar, Iowa, Sept Especial:
automobile accident that may be at
tended by fatal results occurred about
three and half miles southwest of
Cedar near the James Picken farm in
Harrison township about eleven
o'clock Friday evening, when a car
driven by Henry Fritz was hit by
Northwestern switch engine back
ing from South Iowa Junction, and de-
molished. None of the occupants of
the car were killed outright, but all
were severely injured and the out
come of the accident will not be
known for several days. The injured
are:
Henry Fritz, back injured, face cut
and bruised.
Mrs. Henry Fritz, scratched and
bruised, arm injured.
Earl Fritz, seven years old, collar
bone fractured, badly bruised.
Mr. and Mrs. Wright Barnes, Blakes-
burg, severe injuries about the head
and hips.
Mr.. Fritz and his party were en-
route to their home after trip to the
state fair at Des Moines and had lost
the road. The switch engine was
backing from Iowa Junction and the
people in the car did not see it until
they were fairly on the track and the
collision could not be avoided.
The engine crashed into the car
and carried it quite a distance before
it could be stopped. The automobile
was reduced to pile of kindling wood
and scrap heap. That all of the party
escaped with their lives seems miraC-
ulous. The wounded were taken to
the James Picken home which stands
at the scene of the accident and sew
eral physicians were on the scene
ministering to the relief of the suffer
ers in a short time. Everything pos.
sible is being done at the Picken home
for the comfort of the sufferers. but
it will be several days before they
can be removed to their respective
homes.

This conference was arranged pre-.

The regular monthly meeting of the
