CAN YOU AFFORD TO
MISS THIS CONCERT?

Can you afford to miss this? See
to what a pitch of eloquence a re-
porter on the Bristol (Tennessee)
Evening News was wrought up after
seeing and hearing the Hearons Sis
tiers. Of them he wrote:
Before the largest audience that
has attended the Chautauqua this
season, the Hearons Sisters Concert
Company rendered one of the most
delightful musical and literary pro-
grams heard in Bristol In many q
day. A violin concerto by De Berost
found great favor with the hearers.
One of the most popular numbers
was the medley of Southern airs, and
when the orchestra as a climax
broke into a spirited rendition of
Dixie enthusiasm knew no bounds.
The sisters have become popular not
only for their ability as entertainers,
but for their charming personalities

The Hearons Sisters Concert Com
pany appear here on Thursday night,

IN
BLACK HAND PLOT

Iowa City, Iowa, Nov. S.-Carl f. Os-
borne's confession that he was a mem
Der of band of 25 men who had been
instigating black hand attacks on fam
lilies in several counties in eastern
Iowa disclosed bold plot. The police
of both Iowa City and Cedar Rapids
had tried repeatedly for two years to
gather evidence which might lead to
the arrest of every member OF the
band. The federal authorities took up
the case and effected arrests, convict
ing George Cawley and indiCting three
other men, who are awaiting trial.
Osborne. whose latest attempt was
against the Edward Falls family of
Morse, is under $500 bonds. He was
arrested at West Liberty.
Little can be learned from Osborne
as to the bands methods, his earlier
confession under cross-eXamination
being contradicted. He continues TO
admit sending four threatening letters
to various families, all demanding
money. His father came from Ro-
chelle, ILL.,, to Iowa City in an effort
OF release the prisoner on bond.
The activity of the plotters was di,
rected first at the family of John l..
Adams of Solon. Two attempts to
slay Mr.. Adams were reported before
any arrests were made.
An added sensation was given to
the case when the body of Miss Mary
l. Miller, aged 20, was found at her
home In Solon where she had commit
ted suicide with strychnine. Her es
timated wealth passed the $4,000
mark. Her friends declare her sui
eide followed the implication of heI
favorite nephew, Harley Miller, ar
rested in connection with the black
hand mystery. r. G. Miller, father oi
Harley, died of grief at his sons ar
rest two months ago.
Deputy United States Marshall
Healy of Cedar Rapids and Attorney
S. X. Stevenson of Iowa City are
working on the case.
