Clever Work Of
Amateur SleuthS
Landed SWind|erS

As an aftermath of the arrest OF
the soap swindler, who victimized a
number of people in this section. it
may be interesting to give some OF
the details of how he was run down
and landed behind the bars. Credit
for this cOnsummatiOn seems to be-
long to MIR. B. P. Kelly, of Griffin,
assisted by Mr.. N. X. Lewis, Of the
same place.
Among the many people victimized
by this smooth artist in the Griffin
section were Messrs. Kelly and Lewis
and Mr.. Sim Griffin, friends and
neighbOrs, who, after the takers
visit, began comparing notes, and
finally became suspicious. As a re-
suit, they decided to wire Armour 4
Co., of New York, asking If the firm
had an agent in this field with such
proposition. The reply came
promptly that any party SO repre-
senting himself was a fraud. This
was about two days after the swim
dler visited the section.
Mir. y. z. Kelly at once started in
pursuit lie came to Lakeland only
10 find that the object OF his pursuit
had gone. by questioning the porter
OF the fremont Hotel, he asccrtained
that the man OF many aliases, whom
for convenience We will refer to as
Nelson had bought ticket to
Tampa. Mr.. Kelly Immediately fol-
lowed and for some thirty-six hours,
day and night, he scarcely rested
rewarded Sunday afternoon, when,
after having visited every hotel, the
alter and resort in and around Tam
pa, the object of his search stepped
of car at Ballast Point, within a
few feet OF where he was standing.
Mr.. Kelly promptly eclipscd himself,
lest his quarry should take flight,
and watched Nelson until the later
returned to the city. At Tibbetts
corner he watched Nelson take Sui
phur Springs car, and then he has
tened to police headquarters where
four men were put ut his disposal,
the police having previously been
/! notified Of the chase. Two officers
went out to Sulphur Springs while
Kelly and the other two waited at
the Yb0r City car junction. The Of
ficers found Nelson in the act Of TAX
ing q car back to the city. They
said nothing to him but got on the
same car, which Kelly and the other
men boarded at the junction. Kelly
greeted Nelson, but the latter pre-
tended that there was a mistake and
declined to recognize Kelly. He soon
! saw, however, that the game was up
and acknowledged his identity.
1t Is certain that Mr.. Kelly ex-
ercised remarkable sagacity In going
to a strange city and running down
this shrewd criminal and successful
ly placing him behind the bars. Had
1t not been for him and Mr..
Lewis this fellow would still be at
large and going about the country
victimizing innocent parties, and the
public owes a debt to the intelli-
gence and determination of these two
gentlemen.

Agent r. w. Harvey
How They Do It in Iowa

The road superintendent Of
Holland township was arrested
CHS week and brought before
Squire Slikkerveer, Of Orange
City, on the charge of failing
and neglecting to drag the
main travelled and mail roads
in his township. He was found
guilty and fined ten dollars ard
costs, the minimum fine for
first offense. The minimum
fine for the second offense is
$25 and costs. The county at
torney has received numerous
letters complaining Of the con-
ditions of roads in Sioux coun-
| y. The roads in West Branch
township seem to give cause
for much complaint. The
roads in Lincoln, Rock ard
Sheridan townships are said to
be the best dragged roads in
the county. It must be re.
membered that we now have a
drag law and a weed law.
These laws stipulate what must
be done. Failure to do SO
means a fine. If the drag law
affects you in any way find
out what its requirements are
and then live up to them.-Al-
ton ia Democrat.

AND PARTY HERE
ASSURE MISSOURI VALLEY
OF SHOPS

President w. A. Gardner and
party were here this morning
on their annual tour of iuspec
ftion and to q reporter Of the
Times Mr.. Gardner said that
shops were assured for Mis-
souri, Valley, this summer if
che crop conditions remained
as favorable as they are at
at present. He said Che. letter
he wrote the Times about .
year ago was written. in good
faith but that the crop outlook,
when building time came, was
such that the railroad company
did not feel safe in spending
the quarter of a million dol
lars necessary for the construc
ton Of the new shops. He SAID
that he received on an average.
of one letter q day from differ.
ent towns asking that the shops
at Missouri Valley be moved to
their town, setting forth the
numerous advantages to be had
by locating there, but that he
could assure the people Of this
city that when the shops were
built, they would b. built here.
He said that vthing point.
led to the sh' ps h ing built this
summer but that Vt a crop fail
ure was emmircnt all construc
ton work would have to wait
for another yea
He was asked in repsrd to 6
new depot but said that had
never been taken no officially
but probably would be as soor
as the shop problem was settl-
ed.
