Ottumwa, May 20.-Pat Leeny,
Ottumwa's expert Switchman"
mayor, made a new claim for space
in the public prints here when he
arrested his divorced wife, Minnie
Leeny, on the charge of intoXication.
Mayor Leeny has been aiding the
police force occasionally since his
inau guration, April 7, but the ar.
rest of his former wife was the least
expected of any action of his spec
tacular career. An effort will be
made by Mr.. Leeny to have Mrs.
Leeny sent to the inebriate asylum.
Mr.. Leeny was accompanied by
the patrol wagon and Night Cap,
tain Smith, and when Smith in
formed the woman of her arrest she
made no protest but remarked,
"This is the work of Pat Leeny."
Mrs. Leeny is now in the county Jail
awaiting the action of the district
court, which she will face today to
answer to the charge of intoXication
in public.
Mayor Leeny and the woman were
principals in bitterly fought d.
vorce proceedings two years ago
and the husband secured the decree.
The one son was given to the faith
er with the wife having the privi-
lege to visit him at intervals.

THE GUARD IS KIDNAPPED.

Nogales, Ariz., May 2O.-The war
aeroplane which crossed into Mexi-
co near Naco Sunday night was the
same flying machine confiscated by
United States federal officials two
weeks ago. The machine has disap-
peared from a ranch between Tue
son and this point. With it disap-
peared Reuben Hopkins, United
States deputy marshal of Tucson,
who was left to guard the air craft.
The machine, in sections, was
taken in three automobiles south to
the international line and safely
crossed in daylight late Sunday af-
tern0on. With it went high power
bombs Of the gravity, or contact
type, that the insurgents expect to
drop on the federal gunboat Guer-
rero, which lies in Guaymas harbor
ready to assist the garrison Of the
town in defending the only remain
ing point in Sonora state held by
the central government.
The flying apparatus and bombs
for aerial use Went south yesterday
on a special train. The attack on
Guayrnas, to whioh point the defeat
ed federaIs have retired, has been
postponed, it is explained, awaiting
the aeroplane to Offset the power Of
she gunboat.
The disappearance of the aero
plane, supposedly safe in the keep
ing of the federal officers, led late
yesterday to a search for the miss
Jag deputy marshal. vt is asserted
that he was kidnapped. Tie Mezfean'
customs collector of Nogales, Sonora,

The aeropIane, a three passenger

two weeks ago when Didier' Masson
and his mechanic, Thomas Deane,
began setting up the machine at

Tucson. Mason and Deane. escaped
with some Necessary parts Of the

mind is most vital question, as ma

recognition. Most all who are we'll
informed will admit that the first
essential procedure in the building
Of good roads or foundation for
heavy hauling is to get the water
out of the subsoil, elise it would be
impossible to build good founda tons
with the best of material. 1t is a
well known fact that the natural
drainage outlets Of this county run
east of south. Therefore the most
natural and feasible plan would be
the selection OF east and west roads.
thereby crossing the greater num-
Der of natural outlets in given

quent ridges that contain beds of
gravel and which naturally give a
maximum grade where thing would
be found necessary and still further,
this county has but two commercial
outlets for the vast amount OF pro-
ducts Of this great seed bed.
I think the facts will bear the
assertion that the major part of the
heavy wagon traffic will be found
between the principal towns locat-
ed along the railroads crossing the
county from east to west. There
fore the interests of the greatest
number would be conserved by Civ

Council Bluffs, May 20.-After
several weeks in preparation,
movement has been Launched to or
ganize in Pottawattamie county a
body of workers to labor in eonjunc-
ton with a like organization IN
Douglas county, Neb., to promote
free bridge across the Missouri river.
The matter has been agitated at
intervals for number of years but
not until lately has there been
evinced general interest in the
project.
Three members of the board Of
supervisors of this county have
pledged their support and it is de-
clared by representatives of the ex-
treme eastern end of the county,
where heretofore most of the oppo-
sitioa has come from, that it can be
relied on to work for the bri5ge.
A committee was selectef includ-
ing Judge Walter +. Smith, and A.. G.
Kellar, to meet with a committee In
Nebraska to- push the project. 1t is
estimated: that 10000 Council Bluffs
people hane business interests Or
are employed in Omaha. The inter-
ests of Omaha, Council Bluffs and
South Omaha are identical. r.
franchises for the bridge already
has been secured. 1t is likely that
bonds will be- asked. Of Douglas
