liminary Fight.

Members of the Wayne county dele
ga lion to the Democratic district con-
ven sion at Connersville yesterday re-
turned highly pleased with the har-
mony displayed at the meeting. They
admit that Walter Chambers of New
Castle who was unanimously elected
district chairman, is a Taggart man,
but they say they voted for him be-
cause. he is known to be a progressive
Democrat and will handle party affairs
in the district in a most satisfactory
manner.
What delighted them most, however,
was the fact that the convention fail
ed to indorse> the record of Congress
man Finly Gray of Connersville, a
step taken in the conventions held in
several districts yesterday.
Sentiment Against Gray.

against Gray" said one @ the Wayne
county delegates today" and it is safe
to say that the opposition against his
denomination is just as strong in the
majority of the counties in the district
as it is in Wayne county. Mr. Gray ad'
dressed the convention and was cour-
teously received. He was even given
an enthusiastic reception, but outside
the convention it did not take a detec-
tive to ascertain that big majority
of the delegates would be delighted If

No Increase in Force Possible
Under Appropriation
For 1914.

Although there have been enough
applications Ter appointments on the
police department to provide a force
four times as large as it is now con-
| 1tuted, there will be only one or two
cages in its personnel, not including
TSad OF the department.

Mr.. Fry was not Torepared to
/ nounce what officers would he remo
ed and who would take their places.
but he said the new men were the
most highly recommended OF all appli-
cants and their appointments were de
clded on after careful investigation
of their records had been made by
members of the police board.
Two Serseants Retained.
FIRST Sergeant McNally and Second
Sergeant Winters will be retained in
their present positions for they have
been very efficient officers and have
made excellent records.
The new police chief, Harry Good
win, has been acquainting himself with
the duties of his new office and he
will have a veteran force at his com
mand as result of the commission
ers decision to practically maintain its
membership intact.
Considerable pressure has been
brought to bear to have the veteran
colored patrolman, Grovelle Bundy, re
moved but Commissioner Fry said he
would be retained. Fry said Bundy was
an 'ent officer and that it would
be Z at mistake TO remove him.
Wants Force Increased.
Quite number of citizens would
like to have the police force increased
to its maximum membership because
of the crime wave which swept over
the city recently and because of the
steady increase in the city's popula
ton. By appointing six or seven more
Officers, which can be done under the
provisions of the law, a larger day
force could be employed and the beats
OF the night officers shortened. Also
one or two men could be stationed al
headquarters as reserves to answer
emergency calls on motorcycles.
Il think it would be a wise move tc
increase the size OF the police force.
said Mr. Fry, and there are other i'm
provements beneficial to the depart
ment | would like to see provided. but
nothing will be done along these lines
the coming year because the 1914 ap
preparation for the department woult
not permit of them. 1t is hoped, how
ever, that the 1915 appropriation will
provide for the employment of more
officers and the making of important
improvements"

SPENT THE nth
Dow City, Vail, Manila, Charter Oak
and Lakewood Entertain Many
Visitors on National Day
EIGHT THOUSAND At DOW CITY
Extra Cars Needed to Accommodate
Visitors Going to Lakewood $50
Enjoy Day at Lake.

Denison and vicinity was almost en-.
tirely deserted on the fourth. There
had been no arrangements for a cele.
bration at Denison and people took
occasion to visit other towns of the
county and enjoy the cool breezes at
Lakewood. The early morning trains
carried people in all directions, Vail,
Dow City, Manila and the lake each
getting share of the delegation.
At Dow City the crowd was the
largest that ever assembled on SIM
liar occasion. 1t is estimated that
over 5000 people attended the exer-
cises at that place. Rabbi Eugene
Mannheim, of Des Moines, was the
speaker of the day. The West Side
band dispensed plenty of music dur
ing the entire day and the excellent
shade afforded by Logan park was
much enjoyed during the dinner hour.
In the afternoon various sports and
races on the new race track made up
the program.
At Manila the chautauqua was in
session and ended on the fourth. A
large crowd was present and enjoyed
the excellent program carried out by
the chautauqua people. Exercises of
a fourth of July nature were held and
the day thoroughly enjoyed. A ball
game between Denison and Manila
was the principal feature after the
chautauqua had finished it's entertain
ment. The game was won by Deni-
son by score of 25 to 5. A writeup
of the game will be found in another
column of this issue.

independence day at Denison was
ushered in with noise of crackers,
musketry and cannon. Not until the
small hours of morn was quiet re-
stored and sleep made possible. The
business sections were strewn with
debris of patriotic symbols. Cannon
crackers, guns and revolvers were
brought into play and helped to make
the noise. SSome miscreants more
bold than others loaded the old Span
ish cannon that rests in front of the
city hall with something like two or
three pounds of highly explosive ma
terial, and having lighted we'll
made fuse, retired to safety and wait
ed results. They had not long to
wait, however, and the entire city was
awakened from it's slumber by the
booming of the cannon. The explOs-
ion shattered a number Of the large
windows in the city hall and badly
scared the citizens living in the i'm
mediate vicinity.
The shooting of the cannon has
aroused the indignation of the city
officers and they are trying to locate
the guilty parties. 1t is known that
considerable powder and fuse was
purchased at one of the local stores,
but by whom is not known, although
the officers have their suspicious. The
firing of the cannon might have proved
disastrous to those participating who.
undoubtedly, did not consider the pos
sibility of loss of life and of property.
II the guilty parties are found they
should be made to at least replace the
broken glass in the city hall.

ANDREW BOWLING
IS ARRESTED
Arrested by Deputy United States
Marshal Charged With Writing
Threatening Letters
TAKEN TO COUNCIL BLUFFS
Placed Under $500 Bonds to Appear
at Council Bluffs Next Tues
day, July 18th.

Deputy United States Marshal VIM
Groneweg, of Council Bluffs, was in
Denison Tuesday morning and ar.
rested Mr.. Andrew Bowling, we'll
known farmer of East Boyer township
who is alleged to have sent the two
threatening letters demanding $685.,
to Banker George Naeve last week.
Mr. Bowling was taken to Council
Bluffs Tuesday noon and was to have
received hearing before Col. w. F.
Sapp, United States commissioner,
that afternoon, but as Postoftice In
spector C. E. Caine, of Des Moines,
was unable to be present the hearing
was postponed until next Tuesday,
July 18th, at 2 o'clock. Mr.. George
Naeve, Roy Mote and Sheriff Cum
mings were in the Bluffs yesterday af-
ternoon to appear before the commits
sioner and testify in connection with
the case.
Mr.. Bowling was able to furnish a
$500 bond and returned to his home
east of Denison last evening, but will
return to the Bluffs next Tuesday for
the hearing. We understand that
Mr.. Bowling claims that he had moth
ing whatever to do with the sending
of the two black hand letters to Mr..
Naeve and was considerably surprised
when the deputy United States marsh
al arrested him while at work in the
corn field yesterday morning. He took
his arrest good naturedly, however,
and joked over the matter, making
the assertion, we understand, that IT
he had wanted money he would not
have stopped with such a small
amount.

in it's entertainment of the fourth OF
July crowd Excellent band music by
the famous NJ. w. A. band, speaking,
sports Of all kinds, kangaroo court,
contests. beauty shows, etc.. made up
the day. 1t is said there was more
fun pulled off in the short space of
ten hours than had ever been partici-
pated on similar occasion. An
auto parade in which there were many
beautifully decorated autos proved a
main feature of the program.
A chautauqua was in progress at
Charter Oak and was thoroughly en-
joyed by good crowd. There was to
have been great display of fireworks
in the evening, but owing to the storm
indications this feature of the day was
postponed until Saturday evening,
when a large crowd assembled and
witnessed the fireworks
More than $50 people were at the
Northwestern depot billed for Lake
wood, and it seemed that each person
was provided with luncheon
basket Many picnic dinners were
served and the day spent in boating,
bathing, fishing, visiting, dancing,
roller skating and witnessing a splen-
did ball game. The Northwestern had
provided ample accommodations and
had held the train at Denison for one
hour in order that no one should miss
the opportunity of days outing at
the lake. Returning in the evening
the train reached Denison shortly af-
ter 10 o'clock, laden with tired, but
good natured crowd.
In the evening at Denison there
were a number of private displays of
fireworks and the military brother
hood held dance that was much en-
joyed by those in attendance.

In fact it seemed the hottest ever, but
it was all owing to the condition OF

depot the boys of the freight house put
out seven different fires, started on the

While in Council Bluffs Mr.. Bowling
secured Attorney Emmett Tinley to
defend HON at the hearing next Tues
day afternoon. Attorney Tinley is one
of the leading lawyers in Council
Bluffs and no doubt will fight the
charge to the end.
Two letters were written to Banker
Naeve, in each of which 1885 was de-
manded to be deposited at the foot of
the large tree Immediately across the
river on the Manila road south of the
brick yard. BY the terms of the first
letter it was demanded that the mon
ey be placed at the designated spot
at 4:3O on Wednesday afternoon,
June 25th, and Mr.. Naeve was in
structed to drive to the spot named in
a rig by himself and was cautioned to
say nothing of the matter under pen
atty of great bodily injury. The let.
ter was mailed at the Denison post
Office and was received by Mr.. Naeve
shortly after 1 o'clock. On receipt of
the letter Mr. Naeve notified Sheriff
Cummings, who advised him to follow
the instructions of the letter, substi-
tuting the real money with a phoney
package. The sheriff, together with a
posse, secreted themselves in the vi
cinity of the place where the money
was to have been deposited and re-
mained there until a late hour, but
no one called for the package which
Mr. Naeve left as he was instructed
to do in the letter which he received.
The offence charged in the indict
ment concerned the sending OF the
second threatening letter to Mr..
Naeve, which was received by him on
Saturday, June 2Sth. The purpose OF
the letter, the indictment sets forth,
was to effect a scheme and artifice to
defraud the said George Naeve. The
letter set forth in the information is
as follows:
