ON THE

Many Teams and Men Are Working

Theodore Gilman, secretary for the
Keokuk and Hamilton Bridge Co.,
John H. Cole, local superintendent,
and ]. B. We'll, visited the scene Of
the Marsh road operations last Fri
day afternoon and found a very active
condition. Mr.. Marsh talked very
freely about the new line and assured
the visitors that the road would be
completed and from appearances his
statements were readily believable.
With one hundred and ten teams ana
$50 men employed it certainly looks
like railroad building. The grading

to execute his plans. 1t is said that
New York interests, amply able to II

house had been left burning by the
thief in the same way In which he
found them when he entered the
house. Absolutely nothing had been

for the fact that the other valuable

This appropriation includes all the
work done from June l. 1913. This
expenditure covers, of course, the work
contracted for from the beginning OF
the fiscal year. June l. 1913, down to
the present time. OF course, this

THE amount for State aid highways
is applied practically to repairs and

BAUM, MAIL CLERK.
GETS ) YEARS IN PEN
Man Who Stole $4,000 Tells
Judge He Acted on Sudden
Impulse

One moments sudden yielding to
temptation cost William r. Baum, a
former United States postal clerk, just
three years in the Eastern Penitentiary
at Philadelphia.
Baum. whose sensational theft of
$50, 900 in two $4,000 packages from a
Government mail bag somewhere be-
tween Pittsburgh and this city the
evening of July 4, 1912, pleaded guilty
before Federal Judge C. b. Wilmer in
United States Court yesterday after
noon and was sentenced to three years
and to pay fine of 800.
The Federal grand jury considered
Baum's case for half an hour and upon
the return of the indictment United
States District Attorney Rogers L.
Burtnett called Baum for sentence. The
Government attorney and Senator E.
E. Beidleman and Captain Frank Zieg-
Ter, counsel for the defense, conferred
with Judge Wilmer Then the Federal
as Baum himself had told them to his
counsel.
The only witness was Chief 1nspec-
tor Cortelyou. In reply to the Court 3
money was missed when the mail bag
in question reached New York. The
register lock was exhibited. It's regis:
ter sh9wed h" that n,t It marked IL until
opened until it reached New York;
there it registered No. "112." Every
time these bags are unlocked they reg
lister another number.
For nearly two years, up until the
latter part of April, in fact, twenty
Government sleuths traied the thief; 1t
cost Uncle Sam something like $4,000.
Baums own extravagances, his pur-
chase of an automobile, his expensive
vacation trips. his stock speculations--
all helped point the finger of sus-
picion. His confession followed soon
after his arrest. He has made restitu-
tion to the extent of nearly $1,000. sold
his farm and all his personal property
and is now penniless.
His story in brief was to the effect
that on the memorable Fourth of July
night he was the only man awake in
his crew: A lurch of the train threw
him against the mail bag and at the
same time exposed key In a sudden
yield of temptation Baum said he un-
locked the bag.
In imposing sentence Judge Wilmer
talked to the black bearded. pale
faced man. much like a father = OF.
rather an older brother. Then a Deputy
United States Marshal tapped Baum on
the shoulder.
