o STOLEN CAR.
w. M. Clifford Arrested Near Gilman
With Car in Possession.

win Car IN possession
w. NJ. Clifford, 612 West Nevada
street, was arrested late Wednesday
night at a farm house five miles north
of Gilman, charged with the theft o.
an automobile belonging to NJ. C. Ros-
kept, which Roskopf alleges was taken
Sunday night. Clifford was driving the
car. in company with two girls and an
other man. He was brought to this
city and placed in Jail.
Today, before County Attorney Scott
and Sheriff Edgar, Clifford signed a
written confession stating that he Sc
cured the car last Sunday. and had
given Roskopf a worthless check in
payment. The statement that he Sc
cured It Sunday precludes a former
statement made by Roskopf that the
car was taken from the garage at the
Marshalltown Buggy Company place
Of business early Monday morning. &
Clifford was arrested by Sheriff Ed
gar. who, in company with Roskopf.
went to the farm house where the girl
with whom Clifford was riding boards.
| Roskopf had received a telephone mes
sage earlier In the evening from Gil
man, Informing him that a car answer
ing a description given in the T.-R.
was standing IN front Of a moving pic
! ture show in Gilman, and that Clifford
was in the show with two young ladies'
and another man.
Sheriff Edgar and Roskopf drove at
once to the farm house where the
young ladies were staying. and waited
placed under arrest, and made no at

taken the automobile.
From residents Of Gilman Roskopf
says he learned that Clifford had been
there with the car for the past three
days, representing himself as a partner
Of Roskopf, and trying to sell the car
in Gilman. Having seen the story OF
the stolen car in the Times-Republican.
the suspicious Of several people were
aroused, and Roskopf was notified.
That Clifford was not content with
having stolen a car was shown this
morning when 1t was found that he
had cashed a worthless check for SIS
on the Marshalltown State Bank at
the First National Bank at Montour on
Tuesday. Clifford has no funds at the
local bank. Another development in
the case was the fact that Clifford had
negotiated with Roskopf to buy the
car and had given him a check for
s1,120 on Sunday. The check proved
to be worthless. Asked why he had
taken the car Clifford said he didn't
know" but his conscience had been
hurting him, and he had planned to re-
turn the automobile this morning, ac-
cording to Mr.. Roskopf.
Clifford was arrested on a warrant
issued from Justice Burritt's curt, and
his case was set for 9 o'c'cck Saturday
morning. His bond was fixed at $1,000
According to the story told by Ros-
kopf clifford had closed the deal for
the car on Sunday, gave Roskopf the
check, and wanted to take possession
of the machine. Roskopf told him he
could take the car Sunday afternoon,
but that he would not give him a BIZ!

Go In And Sit Down.

| What are you going to do Eas
ter Sunday?
Go into u church and sit down
Stay sit until the end of the ser
vice and keep your ears open and
your mind on what the preacher
is saying. Then 60 home &ant
think over what he had to say
Don't give his words just a pass
ing thought and then let youl
mind settle back in the old fnan'
cial groove.
Take his discourse subject BY
subject and analyze it thoroughly
Pick out the good points and
study them minutely as you dis
cover them. You can spend sew
eral hours very pleasantly in this
work, and at the end of that time
you may be amazed at the feeling
of peace and contentment that
pervades your being.
You will find that there are
many things you knew that had
been forgotten for these many
years, and when they pass from
memory their value practically
ceases to exist.
Go to church Easter!
Set an example to the young
people of your family and oi
other peoples families. Let them
Judge you by what you are, and
not by what others may have tc
say of you. Let your own actions
afford them the opportunity for SC
judging.
There's a church around the
corner, and the door swings out
ward to every human being. The
hand of welcome beckons to you,
and the still voice of conscience
is calling to you.
Go in, and sit down, and listen,
and think, and then act.

In Cupid'S Net.

The elimination Of one OF
cupid's schemes to enmesh the
hearts of two of our fine young
people occurred last Saturday
morning at ten o'clock, when ].
W. Tweute of this city and Miss
Petrea Newcomer of Galena we're
united in marriage by the Rev.
Bradshaw of the Christian church
at his home in Columbus.
The marriage was in the ma
ture of a surprise to some, but
not to the writer, who is a close
observer, and had noted the
symptoms.
The bride is the charming
daughter of Mrs. Petrea New
conner of Galena, and she has
been and is one of the teachers
of the Baxter schools. When
she failed to make application
for school next term we made
up our mind that something was
about to happen.
The groom is from Belton,
Mo-, and has been superinten-
dent of the Baxter schools for
several years. He has placed
the schools on a firm basis, and
has made good in every way.
We are glad to note that the
young couple will make their
home in this city.
When Prof. Twente and his
bride appeared at the high school
building Monday morning there
was such hearty reception from
the kids that 1t was found neces.
sary to adjourn school for the
day, for the very simple reason
that the pupils insisted on one
continuous reception, a way kids
have, you know, when they want
to win a point.
In the evening a lot of the
school kids joined with a num-
ber of friends of the couple, and
securing a rig they placed the
couple in it and made a parade
of the main business section.
Prof. Twente and his bride made
speech, and took the lead so
heartily that they had as much
fun as the fun makers.
The News cougratulates the
young couple, siugly and collec.
lively.
