NAN IS HELD ON
SERIOUS CHARGE
FRANK M'NAVlN is ACCUSED OF
OBTAINING GOODS BY FALSE
PRETENsES.

Frank McNavin was arrested last
night by Patrolman Sauders on the
charge of obtaining goods by false pre-
lenses. He did not enter a plea this
morning when arraigned before Police
Judge Morrissey. The police are now
investigating the crime. McNavin is ac-
cused of having gone to the J. B. Sax
clothing store yesterday and secured q
pair of pants, which he had charged to
Walter T. Hall, his former employer.
The police declare that he took the
pants to the Joe Cohen pawnshop and
traded them for another pair of pants
and 81 in cash. 1t is further alleged
that he went to the Ottumwa Buggy
co. and bought horse blanket, charg-
ing this also to Mr.. Hail. The horse
blanket and fur coat were sold by
McNavin to Joe Barmash, who colt
ducts pawnshop on East Main street,
for $5.75. The police do not know
where McNavin got the coat, and they
are investigating today. McNavin
wants Chief of Police Gallagher to send
him to Knoxville. He was in police
court last week and served sentence
on the rock pile for intoxication. The
charge on which he is held Is an indict-
able one and Police Judge Morrissey
will probably bind him over to the
grand jury, which meets the latter part
of this month.

( E0KUK Man
KILLS WIFE
JOSEPH sAMUELs OF kEokUk
THEN TRIES TO KILL
SELF.

Keokuk, March 5.-Joseph Sam
uels, captain of the West Keokuk flre
department, shot his wife four times,
killing her instantly. Samuels then
tried to kill himself, but failed. The
tragedy occurred on a bridge span
ming what is known as Bloody river"
The couple had been married about
ten years, and have had more or less
trouble during that time. They had
decided to separate next month. Mrs.
Samuels was to take their two chill
dren, both girls. aged four and seven,
and Samuel was to contribute $40 q
month for their support.
Samuels bought the revolver with
which he committed the murder. Then
he and his wife were walking out To-
gether, and it is supposed they COM
menced quarreling. About midnight
people living near the scene of the
murder heard pistol shots and tele-
phoned the police. When the officers
arrived they found Samuels sitting on
the bridge crying, holding the, dead
body Of his wife In his arms. He had
thrown the revolver into the stream.
The shot he fired at himself did not
penetrate through his ribs and he is
not seriously injured.
Today Mrs. Samuels, whose maiden
name was Eff1e Bunyan, will be buried
The coroner's inquest will also be held
today. Both Samuels and his iwfe
were about thirty years old.

Boie Bros, came down to Ida Grove
from their place near Schaller and in

of fine timothy seed that sold for

1t comes near to hauling gold to town
in a wagon box.
John Marsh was cleaning and sack
ing up his timothy that he bought of
A. e. Bright on the Bell ranch and re-
marked-that it was as near to sacking
up gold as anything he would ever
handle. A sack containing two and q
half bushels of the seed is worth
$1175, or $3.50 per brshel A whole
sale house offered Marsh almost that
much for the whole of seventy-flve
bushels, ind 1t Is plain that the re-
tail price is soon going still higher.
Marsh bought the timothy in sack
from Bright for $3.50, threshed out
seventy-five bushels of seed worth
y4.5O per bushel and sold the hay that
was left for 500.
