The brlckwork is practically fin

building is concerned, and with the
roof and skylights properly put on,
thore will be nothing to hinder the
rapid progress of the interior finish
ing, Already the plastering is nearly

done in the basement, and in short
time. the first story will be attacked
by the plasterers. This means that
it will be matter of only a few
weeks until the building will be ready
to receive it's furnishings and equip
ment.
HANDSOME EDIFICEi
Now that the brickwork has been
completed, many expressions of ap-
probation are being heard as people
realize what handsome edifice has
been erected. The terra-cotta finish
ings on the fourth floor and cornice
give just the touch that is needed to
set off the striking style of the brick
walls, and to make the building real
ly impressive.
SIXTY ROOMS.
In about month it is hoped that
the work will be far enough along so
that prospective occupants of the
dormitory will be able to select their
rooms, and to file their applications.
Some applications have already been
made, and others are waiting for the
first chance to see the finished rooms.
No doubt the splendid rooms that are
provided in the building will be ex-
ceedingly popular with the young

system, given his number and had HIS
local officers returned home, arriving
last evening. Stratton is alleged to
have said on the train that all Of
the witnesses at his trial here told
the truth but Benjamin Stewart, the
farmer from east of Davenport, whose
corcboration of Thomas Jefferson,
made conviction almost certain. II
was Stewart who said he found STRAIT
ton and pal in his barn on the night
following the murder. The two had
slept in his hay loft all during the
day and Stewart identified Stratton
as one of the men and identified the
picture of the other man as Smithy,
one of the gang. The state was able
to make much out Of the fac. that
although Stratton had a nicely fur
nished room in Davenport and had
been there for several weeks, he was
found hiding in a barn on the day fol-
lowing the murder. This suspicious
attitude and the fact that Stratton
and his pals did cross the river en-.
route to Davenport after the murder,
as was the plan agreed on according
to the story of Jefferson. who turned
states evidence, assisted in showing
that Stratton was guilty of the crime
which cost the banker his life.
WILL HE ESCAPE.
Local people will watch Sratton's
attitude at the penitentiary closely
and with interest. His numerous es
capes from prisons, including his jail
delivery here in which Turnkey Alvin
was brutaily assaulted, lead some 70
