ENVELOPES FUGITIVE
Judge Lapham Failing To Preform
Ceremony Issues Warrant
For Arrest

Excitement ran high for short
Sheriff Webster fired three shots at
Charles II. Stoffer as he darted down
the alley back of the Belding Hard
ware Company's store and escaped
Stoffer was here about six months
ago and worked in one of the mills
He was then going under the name of
Chas. keystone. AT that time he
kept company with Miss Eva Blod-
gett. After months of absence he re-
turned about three weeks ago and arr
ranged 10 marry Miss Blodgett.
A marriage license was procured of
City Clerk Frank Conant, and the
services of Judge Lapham were secur-
ed to perform the ceremony last Sat
urday night Stoffer met Judge Lap
ham on the street Saturday afternoon
and paid him two dollars and told
him TO come To the Blodgett home on
west Main street at eight o'clock.
When Judge Lapham arrived Stof-
fer met him at the foot of the stairs
and accompanied him up. Upon en-
tering the room there seemed to be
inquiry He was informed by the
girls mother that the family would
not permit the marriage The judge
with Miss Blodgeet's brother then
went 10 the justice Office and a war
rant was sworn out for Stoffer. The
papers were given into the hands Of
the deputy sheriff who went to the
Blodgett home, secured Stoffer, and
started with him TO Judge Lapham's
Office When they arrived at the al
ley behind the Belding Hardware Co,
Stoffer jumped sideways and ran
through the alley. Webster fired
three shots at the feet of his fleeing
charge but did not get him to stop.
In his escape Stoffer ran past Mar
shall Meginley as the latter was going
home along Pearl street. A search
was made for Stoffer through the city
but no clue to his whereabouts was
found.
Investigation into the belongings of
Stoffer, found at the National Hotel,
disclosed letters from Stoffer's mother
and sister. His real name is Willis a.
Slower, according to the letters, and
his mother and sister live in Wabash,
Indiana. IT seems, from the contents
of the letters, that he now has a wife
living near the home OF his mother
and that attempts are being made to
get him to return to her.

A YEARS. GROWTH
OF CHAUTAUQUAS
TRULY MARVELLOUS
SEVEN HUNDRED MORE TENT
ASSEMBLIES THIS YEAR
THAN LAST

The past years growth of the Chau-
tauqua movement in the United States
has been little less than marvellous.
The number of tent Chautauquas in
this country has increased from 1900
last year to more than 1900 this sum-
mer one thousand of these Chau-
tauquas are under Redpath manage
ment. There are about 800 more
Redpath Chautauquas this year than
last.
Never before in a year has such
wide publicity been given the name
Chautauqua i'm the press of the
country. This in part, of course, was
due to the wide discussion of Mr..
Bryan's appearances on the Chautau-
qua platform last summer.
The army of people now employed
in all the different features of Chau-
tauqua work over the wide cxpanse Of
the American continent also serves to
emphasize the movements import
ance.
This season the Redpath Chautau-
quas begin in South Carolina and
move on up through North Carolina,
Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, Tenne-
see, Indiana and Michigan.

P|CKL|NG STATION
SECURED A LARGE
ACREAGE THIS YEAR

The Keokuk Canning Co, will open
their branch pickle sailing station
here for the season in four or five
weeks.
The station is managed by Frank T..
Conant with the assistance of jerome
Hicks. Mr.. Hicks will be at the sta
ton most of the time after it opens
up TO receive the seasons crop of
pickles.
Upward of one hundred acres of
cucumbers have been planted in this
vicinity and contracted for at the local
sailing station. From present pros
poets the yield this year per acre
should far exceed that of previous
years.
Last year the contract price paid
for the pickles was sixty cents per
one hundred pounds. This year the
figure at which the acreage has been
engaged is seventy-tive cents per one
hundred pounds.

LARGE TURTLE LAYS
EGGS IN C|NDERS
At WATER WORKS

Employees at the Water Works had
an interesting time last Monday after
noon when they found a large soft
shelled turtle about sixteen inches
broad coming UP out of the river near
the plant and making toward the door
of the boiler room. After several at
tempts TO climb the six foot bank she
was successful in reaching the cinder
court at the doors level.
The turtle Immediately began dig
ging a hole in the hard cinder and
when she had a cavity Of almost a
foot in diameter and the same depth
she began laying her eggs. Almost
fifty of them were deposited in the
hole and then the turtle covered them
over with dirt.
AS she began to go back to the river
one of the men accosted her with
small barrel stave. She became an
CRY at once and bit pieces out of the
stick. Finally she got good hold on
to it and the men grabbed her by the
legs and carried her to the edge of the
river and placed her in a large tank
that is used To test meters.
The men will watch the turtles nest
with interest.

COMPANY To BEGIN

ROUTE AGENT GEORGE X. LAW
LER HAS INVESTIGATED THE
LOCAL OFFICE

The Adams Express Co, who are to
take over the business of the United
States Express Co, on the lines of the
Pere Marquette in Michigan on July
have had some of their special men
working on the new territory since
the deal was made last Wednesday.
George r. Lawler, division or route
agent, with headquarters at Paris,
Kentucky, was i'm Belding Saturday
arranging for the opening of business
here next Wednesday morning
Lawler says that it is the intention
of the Adams company to take over
the wagons. horses, furniture, etc,
wherever possible and i'm all possible
cases To keep the present force of en-
ployees intact. The first work of the
new company is TO arrange for the
efficient working of the exclusive Off
ces. BY this they mean the offices
that are independent of the railroad
offices along the lines. A new system
of books will be necessary, and
change will be made in the delivery
and onhand slips.
The division agent Of this division
will be, when the new operators take
charge, c. G. Crawford. His head
quarters will be at Saginaw.
The Adams Express Co. is the only
that has access to Detroit
The other companies doing business in
that city have been required TO haul
their parcels in with wagons or have
them carried by the electric roads en-
tering the city. The Adams company
are now operating on the lines run
ming into the states of Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois with few exceptions and
this will eliminate the transfer, and
delay. of parcels from these points
because of the heretofore dual com
panies operating in the territories

The annual picnic OF the Columbian
club was held at the farm home OF
the clubs president, Platt Rowland

and fifty people attended the meeting.
A short program, mostly songs, was
given. A dinner that would satisfy
the tastes of every one and abundant
enough 10 have fed twice as many was
the big feature of the day.
The Columbian club is an organiza-
tion of farmers who meet each year
in annual session some time in April
and also have a picnic at the home Of
one of their number during the sum-
mer The original membership of the
club comprised only about four or five
families
When the first meetings years ago
were held the farmers attended in
buggies. wagons, or some of them
even walked. This year fifteen auto
mobiles assembled at the Rowland
home because this number of families
now have their own machines.
