seen Made by e. l. Lane, South Of

Files charee-LttIe Held to Grand
Jury.

An unsuccessful attempt was made
to pass what is declared &c be forged
check on the George Painter store late
Monday afternoon, which resulted in
the arrest of young man giving the
name OF A. 3. Little. who tried to cash
the check. E. l.. Lane, a farmer living
south OF the city. whose name was OH
the check as It's maker, says the check,
which was for $3.50, is a forgery. He
says he does not know Little, and this
morning filed d chars. Il forgery
against Little in the mayors court.
Little was arraigned this forenoon,
waived examination, and was held to
the grand jury. He refused Marshal
Clark an. information regarding him.
self. but confessed that the story he
told ct the Painter store of how he
came into possession OF the check was
untrue.
Wanted to Buy Suit.
Little tried 10 buy a suit Of clothes
at the Painter store and offered in pay
ment the check on the Marshailtown
State Bank, made paya BILE to y. 3. Lit
tie, and signed BY Z. L. Lane, as the
maker The check was drawn with u
pencil. and was dated Jan. 26. Little
had endorsed il with a pencil.
AS Mr.. Painter did not know Little,
and suspected that the check might be
a forgery, the merchant detained Lit
tie and called the police. who COM
nunicated with Mr.. Lane by telephone.
The latter said the check was a for
gerry.
Little's explanation OF the check be-
ing in his possession was that Mr..
Lane had bought a cow Of him and had
given him the check in payment. Lit
tie also told at the Painter store that
he had rented a farm near Ames. L
was this story that he told Marshal
Clark was untrue this morning.
Had Prepared for Campaign.
Judging by the list of names that
Little had in memorandum book he
was carrying, the police believe that
he was preparing for campaign of
bogus check floating. In this book were
the following names: j. S. Dunn. A. e.
Hoover. z. l.. Lane. Guy Mcknight.
Mrs. H. P. Shaul. and Johnson and
Mahan. Dunn, Hoover Mcknight and
Mrs Shaul are all neighbors of Mr..
Lane.
After he had bean arrested Little
tore the leaf containing these names
from the memorandum book and at
tempted to destroy II. but Marshal
| Clark recovered it. On another sheet,
also torn from the book. the name j. s.
Hoover had been written repeatedly
as tho the writer had signed it often
in trying to faniliarize himself with it.
Little is stranger here. 1t is thought
the name Little is assumed The man
is about % years of age, and fairly
well dressed.

HOME IS RANsAcKED
Thief Enters Dwelling Of Mrs. Sarah
earsto~, 2os West Church Street,
While Owner is Away-Not Known
What vaIuab!es, If Any. Were
Taken,

Lifted window shades furnished the
clue that the dwelling Of Mrs. Sarah
Barstow. EOS West Church street. had
been entered and ransacked, while the
owner was out of the city. About .
o'clock Monday night Mrs. Horace a
Arson, living at o06 West Church
street, discovered that the shades Of
the windows of the Barstow home had
been raised. altho the shades had been
closely drawn ever since Mrs. Barstow
went away late last fall The police
were notified and Officers Breckel and
Hurd searched the house.
The house had been gone thru from
the cellar to second floor. Drawers
had been opened. and their contents
withdrawn. Closets had been ran
sacked and clothing was scattered
about the floors. The cupboard had
been gone thru. A room on the see
ond floor that had been locked had
been broken into. and an empty whisky
bottle was found on a dresser. Cases,
such as are ordinarily used to contain
silvcrware. were found, but they were
empty.
Owing to the absence of Mrs. Bar
stow. who Is in Kansas City, it could
not be told from the police examination
last night: or a second search made by
Marshal Clark this forenoon. whether
,anything of value had been stolen.
Neighbor& are Of the opinion that 1t
was Mrs Barstow's custom to put he.
silverware and other valuables in safe
Keeping when she went away. 1t is
thought she probably did this before
leaving about Thanksgiving time
The house had been entered thru a
window. which had been forced up. but
the metal catch inside the window sash
had been broken in doing so. which
leads the police to believe that Mrs
Rarstow had left the window unfast-
ened when she went away. Footprints
in the snow near the window were
found, and similar shoe marks near the
| back door They We're not made re-

when the house was entered, altho a

BUSINESS DIVISION

Bargain Store.

Whitehead & Weisman, who have
been doing business at 20 and 81 West

Quoting what is known as the Bargain
Store" at I9-21-23 North First avenue,
have dissolved partnership, Mr.. White
head taking the West Main street store
and Mr.. Weisman the Bargain store.
About three years ag Mr.. Weisman
bought an interest in the ready-to-
wear store; afterWord they branehed
cut in small store on North Center
street, where they handled all kinds of
goods which could be sold as bargains.
This store grew until they were unable
to handle it in the small quarters: they
then moved to their present location on
North First avenue, which they have
increased to three times the size.
In the inca ntinne the business at the
West Main street store has been grow
ing and they have found that it Is not
possible to take care of the two bust
nesses as they should be handled, and
believe that the public could be better
served by a division. Hence the divis-
ion
Mr.. Whitehead opened the first
ready to-wear store that was opened
in thes tate of Iowa nearly eighteen
years ago and thru all these years he
has followed the business and knows
it from the ground up. Mr.. Whitehead
says that he viii give the store his per-
sonal attention and that the public will
find him there at all times: nothing
but the best that is to be had IN wom-

SHOT BY HIS WIFE.
Octavus King of Wilmington Killed
i'm Peculiar Manner.

A special from Wilmington, n. c.,
to Mondays Charlotte Observer,
says:
"Octavus King, aged twenty-five
years, was shot and almost instantly
killed by his wife in rather peculiar
manner. The young man bought a
pistol yesterday and slept with 1t I'M
der his pillow last night. Early this
morning while frolicking with his two
children on the bed, the pistol was
jostled from under the pillow. His
wife, who had not yet gotten up, no
ticed the weapon on the bed and
picked it up to hand to her husband.
AS she did so the pistol was discharg-
ed and the bullet entered Mr.. Kings
left side, penetrating the heart.
Running out on the front porch,
the wounded man cried that he had
been shot by his wife, but that it
was an accident and then expired.
Several neighbors, who had heard
the report of the pistol, rushed to the
home in time to hear the dying decla-
ration of the wounded man. Mrs.
King sWooned and for some time was
unconscious. Her condition is little
changed tonight"

Begged Jail Sentence Rather Than
Face Woman.

Asheville, Oct. 12.-''Pd rather go
to jail, Judge, than to face that wo-
man and tell her that I've wrecked
her car" exclaimed Ernest Stewman
in police court yesterday. The young
man earnestly begged Judge Adams
for a Jail sentence, and left the city
when it was not imposed. 81 tell you,
I've seen her whip two men, judge"
he continued, "and I don't propose to
let her get at me-"
The young fellow has been driving
for Mrs. Bonnie Henderson for some
time, and early yesterday morning
steered the machine into a pole,
wrecking it. He came straight to po-
lice headquarters and wanted the
captain to detail two policemen to &C
company him while he told Mrs. Hen
derson of the wreck. During the con-
versation it developed that the young
man was driving without a license
and on this charge he was arrested.
He told Judge Adams yesterday
morning that if he could not go tt
Jail for ten or fifteen days that he
would leave town, as he did not pro
pose to take chances of meeting VI
with Mrs. Henderson.
