Bond.
TROUBLE WITH HIS WIFE

When Officer Jake Park, with &
warrant for the arrest OF William
Henderson, colored, touched that
person on the shoulder shortly before
noon today in a house at Ninth and
Main streets, he resisted arrest and
reached in his pocket evidently for a
gun he was carrying. officer Park
had him in hand, however, before he
could bring the weapon into play.
Henderson was arrested upon an
Information filed by his wife. She al
legged il it that he threatened to kill
her. To this Information the police
have now added two more, those or
resisting an officer and carrying q
loaded revolver.
), According to the story told in the
superior court this morning by Mrs.
Carrie Henderson, wife of the man
taken, they had parted in Indianapolis
two years ago. She came to Keokuk
and secured employment here. Last
Friday Henderson is said to have
come here from Fort Dodge and
having effected a reconciliation with
his wife, they had been living to-
gether on North Ninth street.
She testified that he came home
last night, and without cause, beat
her, displayed a gun and threatened
to take her life. She said that he
always carried a gun. In her infor-
nation she asked that he be put
under bond to keep the peace. His
scuffle with Officer Park, however,
has put him beyond the pale of
lenient treatment

Walsh, IS, multi-milIionaire contractor
and railroad builder, died at S:45 this
morning, following a stroke OF paraly-
sis late yesterday.
Thirty-fiye years ago Walsh drove n
team of mules for $3.50 a day. He
was a tramp for two years and trav-
elIed over the United States in box
cars. Then he started out on his nerve
as a contractor and worked up until
he could bid on million dollar con-
tracts. At his death he was interested
in a score of construction companies,

large property owner. He has taken
many Of his contracting foremen and
made them heads Of contracting COM

Variety Of Articles stolen From Wa.
bash Cars In keokuk and 0es
70 MoInes Yards Last
Night
MISSING THIS MORNING
Evidence Seems to Point to tho Fact
That Several Parties Wore
Connected With
Robbery.

Five Wabash freight cars on a
track in the rear of the Keokuk ..
Des Moines freight office at the foot
Of Bank street. were entered last
night by parties unknown and large
number Of miscellaneous articles
taken.
Although the locks on FIVE cars
were broken, out Of only two were
articles stolen. The other three cars
contained machinery.
Missing from the two cars are four
boxes of crackers, one case Of shirts
weighing 140 pounds, three boxes Of
smoking tobacco weighing about
twenty pounds each, box of notions
and pail of candy.
The missing articles were billed
from Chicago to several local firms.
The train to which the cars were at
tached arrived in the local yards at
4:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
seals were examined at that time and
none was found tempered with.
The robbery evidently occurred
some time last night or early this
morning. The theft was discovered
at 700 o'clock this morning when
employees Of the feright house arrived
at work.
From the number of articles taken
and their weight, 1t Is evident that
more than one person was connected
with the robbery. Officials Of the X.
& D. M. are Of the opinion that the
stolen articles were carried over to
q boat and taken down the river. The
local police are working on the case.

BRIGHTER CHILDREN

Children are probably brighter to-day
than a generation ago-but are they
stronger? That's grave question.
So many pinched faces, dulled eyes
and languid feelings make US wonder
if they will ever grow into robust,
healthy men and women.
If your children catch colds easily,
are tired when rising, lack healthy
color, or find studies difficult, give
them SCOTS Emulsion for one month
to enrich their blood and restore the
body-forces to healthy action.
SCOTS Emulsion is used in private
schools. It is not a "patent medicine,
simply highly concentrated oil-food,
without alcohol or harmful drugs. It
cannot harm; it improves blood; it bene-
fits lungs and strengthens the system.
Your druggist has it-refuse substitutes.

Carrier.

The bus line between Keokuk and
Nauvoo. which has been In operation
for some time, is proving quite a
success. The line has, been in opera
ton all winter, although but little has
been said concernirS it. The bus
makes trips from Naisvoo here when
ever there are passengers. The bus
is operated by John Repplinger Of
Nauvoo.
Mr.. Repplinger has arranged a
schedule so that when Nauvoo peoTle
want to come to Keot'1k, they call
him up at his home, and arrange for
the time on which they want to leave
This schedule is then arranged be-
tween the Nauvoo people and they
make the trip to keo.-uk at their oWn
convenience. A similar arrangement
can be made by Keokuk people who
might wish to go to Nauvoo for
days outing.
The auto bus line ran every daE

AMERICAN TROOPS
ON Villas TRAIL
CONTINUED from page l..

from Culbertson's ranch, about sixty
miles west of Columbus.
The two American expeditions were
expected to effect a junction at AS
cencion, probably tomorrow for the
trip south through Corralitos toward
Casas Grandes. Another big body of
United States troops still awaited the
signal at Ell Paso today. When these
would leave, no army authority would
disclose.
Although Colonel Gavira, Carranza
commander at Juarez, opposite Ell
Paso said his troops were loyal and
would not oppose passage Of the
Americans through Juarez, 1t was be-
lieved the entry there Of the third
division of the United States punitive
expedition would be considerably de-
layed. Juarez and vicinity is believed
to be honeycombed with Villista SYM
pathtzers. Many are on the Ameri-
can side. Prevention of a Villa up
rising, especially in Ell Paso where
from 10000 to 10000 Mexicans re-
side. was consideration.
The size of Villas force Is un-
known. Army reports variously esti-
5000. He is known to be poorly pro-
visioned. His ammunition supplies
are limited and he has only three or
four pieces OF small artillery. A san
culinary engagement with the Viii
listas is remote possibility, accord
ing to army officers.
Many wild rumors were afoat re-
garding bandit activity on the border
and Villista uprisings in the interior.
One report in which officials placed
little reliance was that Zapata and
Felix Diaz plan to aid Villa by send
ing armies north to join him. Car
ranza's main army at Queretaro and
in the south, It was declared, would
effectually prevent any such union.

81. The third ward place Of voting
will be in the Washington school in
stead of the Overland garage, used
during the primary.
The city council passed a resolu-
ton this morning in which it was
stated that owners of lots 1, 2, 8, 4,
5 and in block 80, Kilbourne's ad-
dition, are to be released from the
payment of one-half Of the cost of
the sanitary sewer through the alley
of block 80, when 1t Is constructed.
Also owners of the front parts Of lots
and shall be required to pay the
same proportion of the cost Of one
half the sewer as their area bears a
percentage to the whole. 1t is further
stated that the resolution is passed
in consideration Of the fact that the
