Might Have Played Veterans.
According to this ruling the Marshall
town club might have played veterans
this year and have been free from
penalty, had the case been carried to
the national commission. 1t would APP
pear from the ruling that should the
rule be agreed to for another year
any club in the association might sign
and play veterans regardless of the
enactment.
According to the Waterloo papers
so little interest Is taken in any action
on the part Of the association as re-
CARDS the veteran rule. that Waterloo
will not be represented at the Clinton
meeting. 1t Is said that 1t would be a
waste Of time to go to Clinton and
argue the question of resembling the

Fugitive Found in Mexican Camp at

Slight cIue-Murder Committed on
Streets Of 0rinnsII on Night Of April

Montezuma, May 15.-Sheriff Lamb

Mexican alleged to have killed Fidencia
Estrata, another Mexican, in quarrel
over a girl on the night of April Is, in
Grinnell, The accused man was last
seen with the man killed and circum-
stantial evidence is strong against him.
After the killing the alleged MUIR

tracked him to point out of Grinnell
where it is believed he boarded a train
and all trace was lost Recently a
man in Grinnell, who could understand
some of the Mexican language, heard
two Mexicans talking about Jesus
Astrada and mentioned that he had
been at Rock Falls. That was all he
could understand, but the authorities
were notified.
Sheriff Lamb went to Rock Falls, and
while looking over the place for the
Mexican camp ran into his man COM
ing out of an alley with another Next
can. .Astrada had been before the
grand jury here and Lamb knew him.
The captured man asked what was
wanted and Lamb replied, "You know"
The Mexican has said nothing since.
Sheriff Lamb held his man with one
hand and watched the other Mexican
until the marshal of the town, who was
sent for came. and then pair of steel
bracelets were puton him and he was
started for Montezuma, and is now in
Jail. AS court meets next week he will
have an opportunity to be heard.

GERMAN DIDN'T START FIRES.
Burning Of Army Horses at Atlantic,
Iowa, Not Caused by Teutons,

Des Moines, May 12-After investi-
eating rumors with regard to the or
igin of several fires at Atlantic. Iowa,
the state fire marshals force has re-
ported that German sympathizers had
nothing to do with them.
Charges had been made that a barn
containing twenty three horses intend
ed for shipment to the allies, was
burned to prevent the animals from
being shipped to the war zone. 1t was
also reported to the state department
that several cars loaded with food sup
plies consigned to England were burned
by German agents.
The state agents report that barn
containing twenty three horses was set
afire by an incendiary on April 90. The
structure and contents were totally de-
stroyed. However, there is nothing to
connect the Germans with the act, but
there appears to be q clue connecting
the case with fires which occurred a
year go at Atlantic in which 100000
worth Of property was destroyed, it is
said.
Five fires have occurred at Atlantic
since April 90, 1915. the total loss to
date being about s65.0O0. This has
caused the fire marshaPs force to be-
gin search for the incendiary.

1t was well known that these wrinkles
indicated compression failures, such as
result from too great a strain on the
fiber at some time, either from bend
ing in storm, or from rough hand
ling: but as all OF the logs In question
came from the same locality in Florida,
and the markings were all on the north
side OF the log, 1t was assumed that
they Were caused by some severe
storm from the south that had swept
over that part OF the country. BY
carefully counting the annual rings Of
wood, and knowing when these trees
were cut, 1t was decided that the storm
recorded by the wrinkles must have
occurred in the year 1898: and in
quiries verified the fact that at that
time hurricane had swept over that
region.-Scientific American.
