'PEPPERS" TRACKS
TO HIDE LOCATION

Marshalltown, July 28.-Search by
local officers for Robert j. Williams,
wanted for the murder Of Mrs. Matilda
c. Steward, near Dillon, continues
without any results. Many clues have
been run down, but nothing tangible
has developed.
1t has been established, practically
beyond a doubt, that Williams "pep-
pered' his tracks, in order that hounds
might not follow him successfully.
An empty box that had contained
pepper and a part Of an old sock into
which the pepper had been placed,
were found.
It is also known that Williams
came to this city from Tama on the
afternoon preceding the murder, en-
gagged room in private home, left
an umbrella and suit case in his room,
and went to Dillon on the evening
train At o'clock Thursday night
the umbrella and suitcase were still
IN the room Friday morning they
were gone, and the bed had not been
occupied. The man said his name was
Robert Williams, and the description
4 OF Williams umbrella and suitcase
tally nicely with those left in the
! room.

The free attractions are many and
of much merit and department heads
look for excellent displays in their
respective lines. The weather has been
very favorable, too, and the farmers
are we'll along with their work. But the
opposite extreme was the rule last
year. The reason will long be remem'
bered as being wet and disastrous
to crops. Fair week last year saw
ideal weather, but it was about the
first Of the entire summer and 1t was
impossible for farmers to leave their
work.
Secretary H. R. Baker and an as
sistant spent the first of last week
making a tour of all the country within
a radius of twenty-five miles of Eldon'
putting up advertising matter and dis
tributing premium lists. The attrac'
tons are first class and considerable
time and money have been spent adj
vertising them. One Of the attractions
out of the ordinary is display of fire
works The display contains many
numbers and is really thing OF
beauty Quite a little time is requlr'
ed to carry the program to completion
and an expert direct from the manu-
facturers will be in charge. This en-
tertainment will be interspersed with
exhibitions from the Toki Japanese
performers and musical selections rem
dered by the Eldon concert band. inc
Jap performers will also appear on the
afternoon program as will the band.
