Dairy Filth a Crime.

A dirty, filthy COW sable is mex
cusabe. 1t is bad habit that must be
abolished. Every farmer should take
pride enough In his business and in his
own self respect to abandon the habit
of housing the COWS in a dirty stable
His regard for his family and the good
name of his children should induce him
TO reform In this line. But the real
menace is the danger Of the product

CONVICT CAPTURED
NEAR MANCHESTER
HORSE THIEF PURSUED BY CIT
lzENs FROM CASTLE GROVE Y
TO NEAR MANCHESTER.
PRISONER TAKEN TO linn COUNTY
Large Amount of Stolen Articles
Found Where Escaped
Convict Was Arrested.

On Thursday of last. week Deputy
Sheriff j. j. Pentony and Morrell
.Hamblin and posse of citizens of
ture of what is believed to be an es-
capped convict from some prison.
1t appears that the man had worked
at Cedar Rapidds for several weeks,
and on Tuesday night stole a horse
and buggy to aid him in his effort
to make a break for liberty. At the
Fred Heiken farm in Castle Grove
he stole a trunk from one of the
Heiken boys who had just returned
from Cedar Falls. Mr.. Heiken and
his son lost no time in pursuing the
thief and were soon on his trail
They pursued him for nearly twenty
miles.
While the Hejken boys stopped at
a farm house to notify Sheriff Hen
nessey the thief left the horse and
buggy and the load Of stolen goods
and beat" it for Mr. Bacon's oat
field, in which he was captured.
The prisoner and his stolen pos
sessions were brought to Manches-
ter. Sheriff Ives Of Linn county was
notified and while he was making.
the trip in an automobile Sheriff
'Hennessey searched the suit case
containing samples Of almost every
thing from safety razor to sever
al suits Of striped prison uniforms
After the contents of the suit case
and a number Of g,lnny sacks full
OF shoes, clothing, etc. had been
emptied out the sheriff's office gave
every appearance OF a secondhand
shop. The school books and clothing
belonging to young Heiken were re-
turned to their rlghtful owner and
the remainder was turned over to
Sheriff Ives. The owner Of the
horse and buggy accompanied Sher-
iff Ives to Manchester and took his
horse and rig home the same after
noon.
After communicating with author
tiles at the Anamosa reformatory
and the warden of the state prison
at Ft. Madison. it was learned that
the man was not an escaped convict
from either Of these institutions.
When questioned BY the officers
the prisoner declared that he had
found the prison suits in a; gunny
sack near Maricn, admitting. how
ever. that ha stole the horse and
buggy and trunk.

a cohTEMPTlsLE PRACTICE

A practice more contemplate thai
anything which has been called t
the attention Of The Democrat II
that OF allowing some one with g
fractions horse and demolished bug
gy or wagon to make the best of the
situation, after some lawless chauef
feur has been the cause Of an acel
dent, such as happened near Man
chester few days ago.
Only few days ago q young Eel
low with high-power machine me-
an elderly man and his wife on tht
Hawkeye Highway about a mile
west OF Manchester The horse be
came frightened, threw the agec
people from the rig, and then pro
ceeued to reduce the buggy to KIND
ling wood. by the time the couple
could pick themselves up and gel
their bearing the automobile hao
gained such headway that all tnal
was visible was faint outline Of q
machine. Those who Witnessed the
accident from distance say that the
driver never as much as slowed up
his machine to find out whether tht
persons thrown from the rig We're

rather increased the speed OF the
machine. The persons were brought
TO Manchester, and taken TO physi-
clans office where their bruises
were given medical attention. With
their buggy wrecked and their har-
ness reduced to so much harness
leather, they were obliged to find
some other way Of getting to their
home at Winthrop. A local business
man soon placed his car in service
and the aged people were taken to
their home. 49,.
Such accidents are unnecessary. II
Is senseless, reckless and criminal
to drive a machine at high rate OF
speed on public highway, while
passing a vehicle or car. The ex
ercise OF bit of common horse
sense would have prevented this and
hundreds OF similar accidents.
Some day one or more Of this class
OF drivers will be caught and jus
tice administered.
In q recent issue of this paper
were published the new road laws
which state in plain language y how
much Of the public highway may be
used by the automobilist and how
much by the man driing q team.
Occasionally is found q man who
thinks that the autos have no rights
on public highway. The automo.
bile has come to stay, and as soon
as people who are opposed to auto
travel on the public highway, realize
this fact, the better It will be fol
all concerned The fact that per
sons driving a rig are compelled tc
give the auto driver one-half of the
Travelled road bed, does not warrant
any criminally disposed driver Of a
heavy machine to utterly disregard
the safety of his fellOwmen.
