Nevada, Nov. 27.-By The arrest OF
two men and boy, all brothers named
Pardoe, at Madrid, a systematic sys-
tenn OF robberies that nas been going
on at Madrid, Huxley. Slater and other
towns in that vicinity for some months
has been cleaned up and is now being
investigated by the grand jury OF
Boone county.
The Pardoe family came into Madrid
some months ago and appeared TO De
In straitened circumstances. The peo-
ME OF the community assisted them IN
many ways and 1t was not until re-
Gently that suspicion pointed TOWARD
them as being responsible for the
numerous burglaries and other rob-
berries that have been pulled of In tina:
mart OF the country. The first OF the
week the town marshal caught them
in the act Of stealing some rolls OF
building paper, and when he accom-
panied them TO their home he found
store Of stolen articles which have
since been identified. Over at Luther
another quantity of the loot was found
in storage.
Used Old Automobiie.
Clifford and Percy Pardoe are about
o and 80 years Of age while the
Younger brother, Ross, is but Is. They
have been driving about the country
IN an old automobile and 1t is thought
have been selling much Of their loot IN
Des Moines Many skeleton keys were
found on their persons. Some OF them
HAD been filed out of knife blades ana
carried In that manner.
When caught they had planned lor
the younger boy to assume all OF the
responsibility, they thinking that ne
would receive but light sentence, but
the officers overheard the plans ana
they will be baked. There has been an
epidemic Of robberies over in those
narts during the summer and fall ana
II IL now thought that the Pardoe gang
&c responsible for many Of them as the
goods were found in their possession.
Another Robbery at Slater.
Early Thursday morning burglars
entered the Peterson store at Slater
end stole merchandise to the amount
Of about $500 in suits and overocats.
Entrance was gained by breaking out
a heavy plate glass in the front door
of the store. Yesterday some OF the
goods, consisting OF one entire SUIT,
some vests and other parts Of the 1901
was found strewn along the TRACKS
down toward Sheldahl. The job APP
reared to be a bungling one and Is
Thought to be the work Of tramps who
made their way into Des Moines'
where the goods will be disposed OF
No clue was left by the burglars.

Montezuma, Nov. 27.-Two juries
celebrating upon verdicts and third
jury listening to the evidence was the
way Judge Wilcockson was transact
ing business yesterday The jury in
the case of state VS.. Plum, indicted for
wife desertion, was instructed. The
case against Shockly. charged with
bootlegging, was called and tried and
the jury instructed and sent out. then
before either jury returned verdict.
the case of state VS.. Deslink. charged
with maintaining a liquor nuisance,
was called and part OF the evidence
was in before the other juries report
ed
Plum was found guilty and will re-
ceive his sentence on Friday, Dec. 3.
Shockly was found not guilty.
The Deslink jury returned verdict
of guilty. Dec. 1 was fixed as the time
for pronouncing sentence. The evil
dence tended to show that the defen-
dant, Belgian. lived in one-roomed
log house in the extreme northeast
part of the county. He was said to
have kept supply of whiskey and
beer in trunk and several young men
testified that they had made purchases
from him at different times. Groups
of men would sometimes gather and
the beer flowed freely. He said, as
did two Of his Belgian witnesses, that
he never sold anything but the jury
evidently concluded otherwise.
This concludes the Jury work Of the
term. The court will return on Dec
1 for the trial of number Of equity
cases 1t is expected that these cases
will last over into the following week
and so Judge Wilcockson has adj
journed the Mahaska term one week.

Des Moines, Nov. 27.-On Monday
next the people of Des Moines VIII re-
open a new chapter In street car his
tory, the finish OF which will be fought
out In bitter controversy by their
grandchildren in years to come. They
intend to approve by vote of a small
proportion of the population. probably
not 10 per cent, contract with an
insolvent company in the hands or
receiver and having no rights what
ever in the streets of the capital city,
giving to the holders of this empty
name privileges which may be capl-
talized and converted into street cars
and interest and dividends and DIG
business. There does not seem to be
any doubt about the vote OF approval.
Whereas short time ago the matter
was being fought inch by inch. now
the fight is all fizxled out, and there is
no organized nor intelligent opposi-
ton to the franchise that has assured
any fnll discussion of its merits.
The franchise Is to be approved by
those who vote for 1t in sheer despera-
ton and disgust and because of a feel
ing that anyway things can be no
worse and as for the future, let pos
terity take care of it's own problems
But the problems are not those of pos
terity but of this generation saddied
off on posterity because of the inca
pacity of the people Of the city to rise
to the Importance OF the occasion ana
effect n settlement at the time when
it could best be settled.
So it is a foregone conclusion that
next Monday a new LONGTIME fran

pretty bad bargain in money lending

The history of street railroading IN
Des Moines is romance and Tragedy
Fifty years ago II commenced when an
ambitious doctor realized that tne
town ought to haye horse cars. he
laid a few tracks and secured con-
tract for long period of time. Thirty
wears ago the town had outgrown It's
street car system and was clamorlne
for something better. The city had ha
way Of compelling better service. y
was HELPLESS in the matter Of needeo
extensions. 1t had nothing to say
about the kind of cars or how ias'
they should go. In fact the franchise
was in such general terms that 1t was
little more than an unlimited and ex-
elusive concession to the owner. ne
did the best he could with what faclii-
ties he had. hut that was before the
DAYS when capitalists exploited trac-
ton companies and other public ser
vice corporations, and the owner
simply used his own funds for better
ments. Conditions became intolerance
