years old
DR.. CleIand was conspicuous in the
establishment of the Presbyterian
church west CT the Missouri river. In
this work he was allied with the
famous missionary, the Rev. Sheldon
Jackson, now in Alaska, and a monu-
ment in memory of this work bearing
the names of both men, has been
erected in sioux City, Iowa.
Director at Manchester.
He took prominent part in the
educational work of Presbyterian in
situations. For several years he had
been member of the board of
directors of Macalester college, st.
Paul, and Of Mccormick Theological
seminary, Chicago. Formerly he was
moderator of the Synod Of Minnesota,

OF the Westminster church of Keokuk

He was peculiarly sympathetic in
his nature, sharing alike the joys and
sorrows of his people, and the news
of his death brings a deep sorrow to
his old time friends.

is OFFERING REWARD

According to information received
by the Burlington police department
today, Arnold thinner. the Burlington
man who was sent to the state peni-
Tertiary ten years ago for the murder
of John Gavin, and Earl Lindsay, an
other "lifer.' who escaped from the
pen" yesterday. were last seen at
Monmouth, Ill.
The word received by the depart
ment stated that the convicts had
"ditched" the Ford runabout in which
they effected their escape, at the
Maple City and had presumably
caught a train out of there. 1t is be-
lieved that the two offers" went east
from Monmouth. The ditched car was
identified by the license number, as
circulars had been hurriedly sent out
by Warden Sanders following the es-
cape of the convicts.
1t Is not known how or where the
men got across the river. They may
have crossed at Fort Madison right
after they made their dash for liberty,
or they may have come through Bur-
lington and then gone across on the
ferry there, or on the ferry at
Oquawka.
Cards sent out by Warden Sanders
were received To-Day by the Burning
ton department. These were sent all
over the country by Warden Sanders
in the hope of capturing the men.
The cards bear photographs and de-
scriptions of the two ''lifers," and
state that a reward of $50 is offered
for each man.
Descriptions Of Convlets.
The picture of thinner, who was
well known to the Burlington police,
who were active In the prosecution Of
his case there when he went up" for
murder, was taken shortly after he
entered the prison. apparently. Zim-
mer. who with a negro named Grimes,
brutally murdered John Gavin. q
farmer, was committed from the dis
trict court on March 10. 1907. He
is now "a years of age, weight about
200 pounds, and is about 5 feet, ~
inches tall. Lindsay, his fellow fug-
tive, was committed from Colfax,
Iowa, on October 3, 1913. for attack
ing girl.
He is a somewhat smaller man and
is 80 years of age. Lindsay was a
well known aviator previous to his
Incarceration, prison ofhcials state.

Emharao on Ereiaht.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. t3O.-An
embargo on all kinds of freight was
placed in effect on the Union Pacific
railroad this morning. No freigh. that
cannot be delivered by noon Saturday
is being accepted.
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1916-08-30
Burlington Preparing.

This embargo order means that the
Burlington Is preparing for the strike
and that perishable freight which
would be damaged by being held out
on account of the tie-up will not be
carried by the Burlington or any of
its connecting lines. Live stock ship
pers in this part of the country will
be affected by the order insofar as
1t touches the stock shipping propo-
sition. The local jobbing houses
which have been shipping perishable
foodstuffs will also be affected by
the order.
1t is evident that the road will. en-
deavor 70 keep some of the freight
moving, although they will not be
responsible for delays due to the
strike. Their acceptance of freight
on these terms would indicate this.
The road refuses to accept eX-
plosives. This will have consider
able bearing on the powder plant at
Mooar. Iowa, which is shipper of
explosives.
None Received by Wabash.
The Wabash railroad had received
no embargo orders up until noon to-
day, and were accepting everything
as usual, according to information
from the local Office here. Whether
any embago similar to that placed by
the Burlington will be ordered by the
Wabash is matter of conjecture.
Wabash officials here said So far,
however, nothing has been received,
and shipments will be accepted until
such an order is given, 1t was said.
None for x. q D. M.
The embargo order had not extend
ed to. the Keokuk and Des Moines, 1t
was stated at noon today by officials
of that company They were still
accepting all freight shipments offer
ed them, they said.
