HER IDENTITY
IS PUzzL|NG
sMrs. Potter, Mysterious Woman In
Kenosha Case, Who Visited
keokuk, Still Remains
Unknown.
FRIENDS SEE HOLD UP
Gay That Late Bankers Life Was SO
Openly Clean That They Can
not Understand Mo-
tive for Action.


The identity Of the mysterious
"Mrs. Potter" and her connection
with the estate Of the late Charles w.
Allen are still matters Of lively dis.
cussion in Kenosha, according to dis
patches received here following a
story from Keokuz dealing with the
Iowa end Of the mystery which Chica-
go papers are trying to solve.
The fact that the attorneys for the
Allen estate still refuse to discuss
the question raised by the woman
only adds to the interest there as
we'll as in Chicago.
The attorneys assert that the heirs
of c. w. Allen are in no way interest
ed in the alleged stock certificates
said to be held by Lawyer W. d. Pat
terson of Keokuk and that no answer
is being made to letters secured from
Patterson.
1t is asserted by the close friends
Of Allen in Kenosha that this Is simp-
ly hold-up game on the part of
some one. The personal life Of Chas.
w. Allen was so openly clean that they
cannot understand the motive tor
the action.
There have been practically no de.
velopments in the Keokuk end of the
story since Monday. Lawyer Patter-
son has been questioned persistently
concerning the woman and negotia-
tons said to have been carried on
through him. The latest word from
him is that it "has all been dropped
Several efforts were made to re-
fresh the memory of the lawyer re-
garding the mysterious woman who
called at his office on Friday, October
10, but his memory seems to be very
hay, especially as to a description.
Efforts to connect Mrs. Potter
with another Chicago woman who
was in Keokuk about the time of
Mrs. Potter's" alleged visit have
failed, and there SENS to be no con-
nection between the two
Lawyer Patterson persists that he
had had no communication from
Homer e. Baker, the promoter whom
Patterson says left the stock at his
office more than year ago.

Keokuk Is to hear something real

]. Smith Damron, the potter crafts
man, will have an interesting way of
illustrating his address when he ap-
pears under the auspices of the
Young Mems Christian Association
before what should be an audience
that taxes the Grand to It's capacity.
The Y. M. C. A. will not have a
meeting every Sunday afternoon dur
ing the winter, but rather will have
one meeting a month, but it will be
such that people cannot remain at
home and feel they have not missed
something.
Announcement that Smith Damron
will be here Sunday is evidence
enough of this. He will deliver a lee
ture, vivid in symbolism, which can
not fail to interest. AS he talks he

Poison Beneath Surface.
In reporting the lecture by Smith
Damron a short time ago a reporter
for the Indianapolis Star wrote In
part:
AS he picked on the first block OF
clay, he told of picking up similar
lump one day, while working in fac.
tory in southwestern Missouri and OF

slate-colored vase, which he compar
ed, when finished, to the life Of q
youth, plastic, beautiful if designed
and handled carefully and correctly
/ but demolished with one false touch
in the rearing of it.
He set the vase, finished on a
stand in view of the audience and
/ lifted up another piece of clay from
its damp wrapping of cloth.

Mr.. Damron declared that he, like a
noted statesman, believes that boy

For time the lecturer was silent

"Often we do not know why the

SPEEDY
WORK BY
SHERIFF

Prompt work on the part of
Sheriff McAfee and his deputies
last Friday resulted in stopping
shipment of 20 horses and a car
load of household goods belonging
to N. C. Cazear of Windsor and in
charge of a man named Swanson.
The bank of Windsor and the Wind
sor Mercantile company came to the
sheriff for aid, alleging that the
owner of the stock was indebted to
the bank and the store to the
amount of $4,000.
Had Deputy Sheriffs Peterson and
Frazier been a few minutes later
the stock would have been across
the state line and the attachment
proceedings made void.
1t appears that the bank and msr-
camille company saw only one hope
of getting their money when they
found that the shipment Of stock
had been made from Pierce. Harry
Teller, president of the Mercantile
company. made q wild early morn
ing ride in an auto to the sherih's

der to get to the train 1t was nece0-
sary to get stop order from Den

This was done after the sheriff had
explained the situation and the
deputies were left on where the
badly wanted freight cars were
standing on siding, only a few
miles from the state line. The pap
ers were duly served and the credit
ors of Cazear now feel comfortable
in the belief that they will be able
