nnsnt Of Iowa Horse Thieves.
Ottumwa Dec. 1S.-Sure enough
horse thieves. whose weapons are
lanterns and SINNERS knives. are the
latest problem confronting the local
police officials.
The method of working is simple in
operation. A horse is spotted by
some member of the gang. After max
ing sure OF the whereabouts Of the
owner he leads the animal to some
secluded spot. The animal is then tied
up until a late hour, usually or >
o'clock in the morning. 1t is then
killed and skinned The work is done
by fire or lantern light. The carcass is
left on the spot. and more than one
owner has found his noble beast OF
burden a mere carcass. While most OF
the animals stolen have been of COM
paratively small value, one or two
very good horses have, been taken.
Chief Gallagher is confident he
knows some Of the members Of the
gang, and is equally as confident he
will be able to apprehend them.
Transient campers and horse traders
are also closely watched of late.
The skins. seldom worth. more than
IS or SO. are not sold in this city. but
are taken elsewhere, This makes it
very difficult to apprehend the thieves.
The one hope of the police is to catch
the men skinning or stealing the ami

September Grinnell 6depted the city
manager plan Of government. and the
city council Immediately instructed Its
new city manager to look for market
4 for city bonds at q lower rate OF inter-
est. The contract closed with Schanke
4 Company is the result.
Several weeks ago the city sold to
Bechtel & Company sig 900 special fund
bonds, including sewer. sewer disposal
and Improvement fund bonds, at
per cent interest rate, the bonds bring
ing per cent premium. which makes
the 5 per cent rate the equivalent OF a
4.s2 per cent rate. These bonds are 10
year bonds while the special ASSESS
meht bonds run less than seven years,
and are payable at any time Until
this year all OF the cities In Iowa have
paid s per cent on this class Of bonds.
This is reported to be the first large
sale by an Iowa municipality of spe-
cial assessment bonds on a per cent
basis. Grinnell and Iowa City were
also PROBABLY the first cities to get
better than per cent rate on special

In letting contracts for improve

to pay the contractor in cash. or in
