Clarinda Girl Asks Arrest Of Man
Following Quarrel

Council Bluffs, "a, Nov. 2.-When
L. S. Straube of Clarinda arrived in
Council Bluffs yesterday he found
the police looking for him. They
had no special charge but informed
him that Miss Ruth Howard, also of
Clarinda, had asked his arrest.
Several hours later Miss Howard
also arrived in Council Bluffs. She
told the police she did not want to
file a charge against Straube, only
wanted him held here until she
could arrive and induce him to
change his mind about marrying
her. They had been engaged and
had quarreled, Straube leaving Gar
inda,with a threat never to return,
she said. Afterward she repented
but did not know Of any way of
stopping the flight Of her erstwhile
love than to have the police nab
him.
Explanations followed when Miss
Howard and Straube met in the po-
lice chiefs Office and the two lovers
were soon clasped in each others
arms. After a kiss and an embrace
they left for Omaha to get marri-
age license.

SUFFRAGE BAD
LY Beaten IN
Three STATES
Massachusetts, Defeats Equal Ballot
2 to / With Pennsylvania Even
Stronger Against.
BEST SHOWING IN NEW YORK
Issue is Beaten in That State, How
ever, by Probably More Than
Ninety Thousand.

New York, Nov. 3.-Voters in
three eastern states, New York, Mas
sachusetts and Pennsylvania, yester-
day indicated their disapproval Of
woman suffrage by overwhelming
majorities. The proposed amend
ments to the constitutions Of the
three states were admittedly hope
lessly beaten at midnight.
Suffrage ran best in New York
state, but even there the majority
against it is 10000 or more. Massa
chusetts rolled up majority of more
than $4,000, practically two-thirds
of the voters opposing equal suffrage.
In Pennsylvania, it is estimated, suf-
frage was defeated by majority of
10000 votes. Philadelphia cast a
vote of five to one against suffrage.
Returns from GAL precincts out of
LAO in Massachusetts,, including
half of Boston, gave suffrage S6,2S2
to 15S,3OS against.
New York returns were only about
half counted at midnight, but at that
hour the majority against suffrage
stood at $4,000. Most of these re-
turns came from upstate districts,
considered most favorable to suf-
frage.
The proposed new constitution in
New York, involving the short bal
lot and a number of other reforms,
was admitted beaten by the republi-
can state headquarters. The repub-
lican party had supported the revis-
ed constitution. The estimated ma
jority against the constitutional
is 100000.
The several thousand women en-
gagged in watching at the polls in
New York City yesterday reported
that they had been treated with all
possible courtesy and respect by the
election officers and watchers and
voters as well.
Miss Mary Garrett Hay, Of the
suffrage party, said the suf-
frage watchers in the tenderloin and
foreign districts had been treated
with just as much courtesy and con-
sideration as the women watchers in
the better sections.

starting upon the warpath and not
l. in the vicinity Of danger. The set.
tiers supposing them to be the Sioux
coming to attack them, prepared for
action, each singing out his Indian,
and were upon the point of firing,
when they recognized Lot and 9TH
er white men, and were happily dis
appointed to find them all friends"
John Pea and six other white men
accompanied Lot and the Pottowat-
tonnes to the mouth of the Boone
river and there found that the fam
lily had not been tomahawked as
Lot had represented, but that no SER
ious harm had been done to them.
But COW and one or two hogs had
been killed and Lots pony had been
taken. The whiskey, however, was
safe, and after scouting the county
over for a few miles, and failing to
find any Of the Sioux, Lot gave his
Indian friends all the whiskey they
could carry and they returned to
Elk's Rapids, where to celebrate the
expedition they took a rousing spree.
All this happened late in Novem-
Der. The boy who had escaped and
ran towards the Des Moines river,
had not returned; nor had he been
heard Of. Lot was able to track him
in the snow, and after following the
track about twelve miles down the
river, he found him lying in hol-
low log. He was dead. Lot fasten-
ed up the log to keep away the
wolves and left him there until the
next spring. The boy was only about
eight or nine years of age and it is
supposed he became exhausted and
hid. While he rested, he went to
sleep and froZe to death. Lot also
found few miles north of his cab
in, the carcass Of his pony. The In
dians had killed it, as he always
thought, to settle a quarrel among
themselves as to who should have it.
The Sioux did not return again to
modest Lot and his family, but early
he next spring, Mrs. Lot (who by
he way claimed to be a daughter of
Huntington) died and
was buried on a knoll near where
heir cabin stood. Until recently
he grave was marked only by wild
grape vine which grew upon it. It
vas located in what is known as the
vigor's cemetery.
