WOMAN THOUGHT
SON WAS BANDIT
RAlLRoApER RETURNING HOME
FROM WORK THIS MORNING
CAUSED BIG SCARE.

Locked out Of his own home by his
mother, who thought that he was the
lone bandit, who has been terrorizing
Ottumwa the past few days, was the
experience of Roy Nelson Milwau-
kee railroad man this morning when
he returned home from work at an
early hour. The incident occurred at
518 West Main street. Returning
from his trip on the road he hurried
to his home at $3.50 o'clock. His
mother hearing some one trying to get
into the house was alarmed and had
her other son telephone the police sta
ton. A squad of officers hurried to
the scene. The house was sur
rounded and the railroad man was cap
tured. After proving his identity he
was released and the patrolmen hur-
ried back to the police station empty
handed.
Il didn't expect Roy home so soon
az he only went out yesterday after
neon and was badly scared when
heard him come up on the porch with
q heavy tread" stated Mrs. Nelson in
an interview this morning. II was
thinking Of the holdup man and
guess Roy thought he would play
trick on me, but the trick turned out to
be on him. When he came upon the
porch | asked him who he was, but he
failed to answer me and refused to
open the door, thinking that he was
the holdup man. In the meantime my
other son called up the police station
and when they arrived they found Roy
on the hack porch and he told them
who he was. think it was very un-
pleasant trick for him to play on me-"
Fred Rowland, a tramp and sus-
picious looking character was picked
up by Patrolman William Black last
night, the officer believing that he was
the holdup man. When arraigned in
court this morning, Rowland was liable
to prove an alibi and was given his
freedom. William Galway of South
Bend, Ind, was before Police Judge
Morrissey this morning for intoxica-
ton. He pleaded guilty and was fined
IS which he paid.
No holdups were reported to the
police last night.

Question Of Who Shall Be Superin

Settled.

Question Of Who Shall Be Superin
tendent Of Bremen Co. Schools
Settled.
Waverly, Jan. 14.-The question"Who
shall be the county superintendent OF
schools of Bremen county which was
before the board of supervisors all last
week, Is finally settled by amicable ar.
rangement. The case has been an In
teresting one.
Kate E. Sullivan, who has been sup.
erintendent for two years, was nomi.
mated last spring by both parties, but,
because she had been elected on the
republican ticket, filed her declinat1on
Of the democratic nomination. Mary
G. Cretzmeyer was nominated to fill
the vacancy on the ticket and in the
November landslide received small
plurality. Miss Cretzmeyer had not
been in school work and had neglected
to have her certificate renewed, or to
attempt to procure certificate by ex-
animation. The law requires that the
county superintendent shall hold a
first grade certificate, state certificate
or life diploma She held none, but
the board approved her bond and Miss
Sullivan also filed bond, as provided
in case of officers holding over, to fill
vacancy.
The board and the candidates agreed
that the situation was detrimental to
the schools of the county and seemed
to be unable to solve the question. Fin
ally Miss Sullivan proposed that It
Miss Cretzmeyer would withdraw, she
in turn would withdraw providing
Miss Cretzmeyer shall obtain certi-
flcate at the January examination, In
which case the latter is to have the
office. This met the approval of all
concerned.

The Joyous News.
Special to The Net0s.

SpeCtut 10 me NetDS.
Houston, Tex, July Joyous free
dom so blinded James Brown, negro
that when he was told he was free he
was unable to find his way out of the
courtroom, although the room has six
exits. 1t took him. fully five minutes
until he could select door, dash
through 1t and down the steps three
at time to the open air.
The negro man had been charged
with entering the house of another ne
gro and stealing hat, The State in
troduced an eyewitness who swore
that he saw Brown enter the house.
Brown had no lawyer and no witness
to corroborate his testimony. When he
took the stand in his own defence he
had but brief statement to make.
He was told to tell his story in his
own words. He did, but depended
more upon the weight of his evidence
than upon it's admissability.
"Gemmen, der's only one man seen
dis yeah niggah go into dat house.

stop running until he reached the

A new RUBBER
PLANT FOUND
Rubber of Commercial Value Being
Produced From Guayule Plants
In Texas.
Special to The Netos.

Special to The Neios.
Houston, Tex, July Rubber from
guayule plants, which in strength and
resistance equals the India product,
is being produced in Texas. There
has just been produced and sold at
rubber plant at Marathon over $780,
900 worth of the product, according to
w. Willett. a pioneer of the Texas
rubber industry.
Mr.. Willett about two years ago saw
the possibilities of the development
of the guayule plant in Brewster coun-
ty, where this rubber plant abounds,
and leased several thousand acres OF
land in which this plant grows from
the state and since then rubber plant
of gigantic dimensions has been es-
tablished. This plant, Mr.. Willett says,
has a pay roll of $4,000 year and
employs a large number of Mexicans
for gathering the plant, which strange
to say. thrives without moisture. The
greater the drought the better 1t is for
the plant.
In the meantime the State has reap
ed over 100000 in cash from the lease
of this land, which before the discov-
cry of the guayule plant was not yield
ing one cent. as the land is more of a
mineral nature and is practically
worthless for the cultivation of ordi-
nary products. 1t is understood the
state has yet hundreds of thousands
of acres of land in which this plant
grows wild which can and will ulti
mately be manufactured into the re
fined product.
This may result in reducing the price
of rubber, which is now said to be
practically controlled by the so-called
rubber trust.
