ONE OF OUTLAW
GANG IS CAUGHT.
SIDNA EDWARDS, NEPHEW OF
SloNA ALLEN, ARRESTED
WITHOUT FIGHT.
WANDERING IN HILLS
Capture Leads to the Belief That
Other Mountalnecrs Are Near
VIII be Given the "Third
Degree

Hillsville, Va, March 23.-sidna Ed
wards, nephew of sidna Allen, and one
of the Allen gang which took to the
mountains after the courthouse assas
sinations here, was arrested at Lambs
burg. Va, without resistance, by q
posse of detectives. Edwards was
brought here. His capture leads to
the belief that others of the noun
taineers soon will be in custody.
Young Edwards was arrested by De-
tectives Tom Felts and w. w. Phauts
They found him wandering about aim
lessly and hungry. His sore foot had
troubled him greatly and it is believed
he was unable to keep up with the
swift changes of base made by the
other fugitives.
Sidna Edwards is % years old. and
q splendid type Of the young noun
taineer. He stands over six feet in
height. weighs between $50 and 100
pounds. has dark hair and blue eyes.
He will be put through rigid third
degree examination when he gets
here but there is little thought that
he will disclose the movements OF his
kinsmen.
At first a reward of only 5000 was
offered for his capture, but after the
thorough investigation made by state
authorities as to his participation in
the shooting. Governor Mann increased
the amount to $1,000. the same as Of.
fered for the capture, dead or alive,
of Sidna Allen, leader of the clan.
The arrest of Sidna Edwards has
led to the conclusion here that the
other members of the gang are in the
vicinity of Lambsburg which is small
village at the foot OF the mountains
and about ~ miles northwest of this
city This section is several miles to
the west of where the outlaws were
supposed to have been two days ago.
Sidna Edwards is the younger of the
two Edwards brothers and the more
venturesome. 1t was reported several
days ago that he had made sortie
from the hiding place of the outlaws
and had been seen by several persons.
Edwards easily was recognized by his
limp. resulting from burn received
recently in a distillery.
Mount Airy was greatly excited to-
day over the reported capture and
many persons already have started for
Lambsburg.

Maneled by a Mad Dog

Miss Maud Schmuhl of this city was
taken Monday night to Chicago hos
pital which is especially prepared to
care for hydrophobia patients. Miss
Schmuhl was very badly bitten and
torn Wednesday night by monster St.
Bernard dog which afterwards was de-
cided to have been suffering from
rabies.
Two large dogs belonging to the
family were fighting. and Miss Maud
sought to separate them when the st.
Bernard, which was the largest dog
owned in this city. turned on her.
threw her down, and bit her several
times on the breast, inflicting some
very severe wounds. But for prompt
action by other members of the fam
lily the dog would have killed her. Miss
Schmuhl suffered considerable loss of
blood, but the immediate effects of the
injuries have not been alarming. DR..
Ainsworth attended her. DR.. W. C
Stewart, the veterinarian, was given
charge of the dog, killed it, and sent
the brain to Iowa City, where the state
university experts analysed the tissue
and declared that the dog was affected
with rabies. On receiving this word
Monday the family arranged at once
for the injured girl to be given the best
hospital care in Chicago. 1t is stated
that Friday, the ninth day from the in
jury, will be the time when indications

The Road Dragging Law

The following from the Waterloo Re-
porter explains fully the law regarding
road dragging
Road dragging by townships is CON-
pulsory in Iowa under a law enacted by
the last legislature. 1t is imperative
that the provisions of that law be clear
to all who are charged with it's enforce
ment. AS there is a severe penalty at
tached for violations, township trustees
and clerks should be warned against
failure to comply with the requires
ments.
1t is specified in the law that town
ship trustees meet on the first Monday
in February to elect a superintendent
of dragging. These superintendent
should, if they have not already done
so, let contracts at once before spring
opens for teams to drag their respec-
tive stations during the season. The
gist of other sections of the law are as
follows:
The tow nship must furnish the drags
wherever needed out of the road fund
but not out of the mill levy for drag
ging.
The superintendent shall receive not
to exceed $3.50 per day and necessary
travelling expenses.
The compensation for dragging shall
not exceed so cents per mile Travelled
back and forth which is held by the
attorney general to mean so cents per
mile actually travelled by the team; SO
cents for one mile up and SO cents for
one mile back or total of 81 per mile
of road dragged where once up and
once back docs the work. This is the
maximum limit but trustees arc ex-
pected to contract Or a fair basis some
where within the limit. Fifty cents an
hour is considered fair pay for man
and team and team will easily travel
two miles an hour with a load hence
SO cents per mile of road dragged,
where two trips over the mile are suf
ficient, is considered a fair price at
which to contract.
Township trustees shall designate
the roads to be dragged but they must
include all mail delivery routes and
main travelled roads.
The penalty for violating the drag
ging law on the part of superintend-
ents and contractors is a fine of from
$40 to $25 for the first offense and from
$25 to $50 for the second offense.
If the mill levy for dragging is not
sufficient the roads must nevertheless
be dragged and the excess paid for out
of the other road funds.

COLO CIRCLE CAMP
WEARS BROAD SMILE

A letter from the Gold Circle
district on Thursday brought the
information that the camp was
about to witness a deal between
owners of certain properties and
prominent financial interests which
will overshadow all deals so far
made in this part of the state.
And Gold Circle during the past
year has been the scene of more
property sales than any other
mining camp in New. da. Another
property has just changed hands,
this being the Judge, and the
papers are signed for this to pass
into the possession of some people
capable of giving the group a
thorough development. The
Judge lies among the Gold Circle
Crown, Rex and Elko Prince
At the Esmeralda property, says
the letter, which passed into the
hands of Ogden interests a few
weeks ago, work has been started
on the mill site and the plant to
be installed will be suffici.

owners taking some custom ores if
desired. The Eastern Star prop
erty is practically equipped with

the near future and Leslie Savage

SILVER IN THE ORIENT

The demand for silver in the
east, in India and the Chinese
Empire. is generally credited with
being The active cause of the
present rise in the price of the
metal. There is, indeed, no rea-
son to doubt that this is the prime
reason for the advance. As stated
in the Denver Republican:
For years when bimetallism
prevailed, India absorbed every
year an enormous amount of
silver. So far as the western wor d
was concerned, the shipment of
silver to India was almost like
dropping it into the sea. 1t never
reappeared. Even in India itself
the use of silver in the manufact.
ure of ornaments caused large
quantities to be withdrawn per-
manentiy from use as money.
THE demand from India for
silver to be used AS money has
been small in recent years. 1t is
because the government refused to
purchase it for that purpose. Blu.
gradually the stock Of silver money
has been reduced by the continued
consumption Of that metal in the
manufacture of ornaments. Out
of this has grown the need of new
coinage, and hence of the purchase
Of new stocks of silver by the
Indian government. This accounts
for part Of the advance in price.
More potent still will probably
be the demand from, China II the
government Of that country
establishes minis and engages
extensively in the coinage of
silver. The per capita supply Of
money in China is insignificant.
China has no minis of its own.
Should it establish minis and be-
gin the coinage of silver the per
capita circulation would probably
~ increased. One may imagine
that in that way a demand for
silver would be produced which
would drain the western world of
all its surplus stock Of the white
metal.
