we arrived on the scene some delay
was experienced in getting the exact
location Of the fire which was found
to be between The Tribune and the

frmation of location given, but could
not get into communication with the

for five minutes when the alarm was
sent to headquarters by messenger

was leaving the house. the alarm
was received over the phone.
My purpose in calling this matter

Edward Drum Is Boarding in the City
Jail for Alleged Assault on
Slip Of
Girl.
HE PLEADS NOT GUILTY
De Hart Girls Body Covered viii,
Evidence Of the Treatment
Given Her by Drum
and Wife.

Summary justice for alleged brutal
1ty to child is Just now what the
local officers are trying to administer
to one Edward Drum. resident of
keokuk since last October. AT the
present time Drum is basl1ing within
the walls OF the city Jail, being unable
ito furnish the 5000 bond Judge Nc
Namara fixed for him yesterday morn
Ing when he was arraigned in the
superior court on a charge OF assault
on helpless and homeless little girl
Beulah DeHart, who has been in the
Drum household for the past few
months
Frequent cuttings about the head,
with just as frequent inhuman chas-
tisements with a switch used by both
Drum and his wife, were the gentle
and tender methods resorted to by
Drum and his wife, according to the
story she told the officers at the po-
lice station, where she has been
sheltered since she ran away from
the Drum home. The girl ran away,
she told the officers, following beat
ing administered by Mrs. Drum, and
which beating was subsequently fol-
lowed by another one just as severe
and administered by Drum. The girl
wandered to the country, where she
was cared for until the police located
her. The treatment of the girl by
the Drums has been responsible, ac-
cording to the girl, for her recent
threats to end her life. The girls
body is covered with welts and when
this became known, the information
charging assault was decided upon.
The parents of the DeHart girl are
dead, while other sisters and broth
ers are scattered about the country in
different families. The girl now in
Keokuk was formerly with cousin
in Ottumwa, who turned her over to
the Drums.
