Bonds.

Council Bluffs, Nov. with one in
dictment for alleged threats against
President Wilson and two for failure
to register for the selective draft, out
Of five indictments returned as their
first days work, the federal grand jury
gives evidence of a desire to follow
Judge Wades instructions to jealousy
guard the welfare of the nation.
The grand jury made its first report
at the opening Of court Wednesday

he regular run, await consideration
this time.

threats against. the life Of President
Wilson. Simmons was present in court
and promptly entered plea Of not
guilty and his bond was placed at
$1,000.
Simmons and his friends stoutly
maintained that he is innocent. HIS
bondsman. County Attorney Bob Hard
ing. stoutly defends him and declares
that he is absolutely loyal. His friends
claim it IS case of spite work and
that one or more enemies have trumped
up the charge to vent their personal
spleen upon him.

Moines. is a Stacker in the eyes of
the grand jury. He was indicted for
failure to register. Upon his plea OF
guilty Judge Wade sentenced him to
twelve months in the Pottawattamlc
county jail
Albert Walter. an itinerant, was also
indicted for failing to register. Walter
claimed the world as his field and his
home wherever he hung his hat. He
said he was an I. w. W.. that he had
read an article by a socialist writer in
a Des Noines paper, which attacked
the draft law as unjust and unconsti-
tutional. and that ne believed it. He
was also given twelve months in the
Pottawattamie county jail.

Webster City, Nov. DIR. Asa W.
Chamberlain, formerly Of this city and
of Stratford, now under arrest in
Richmond, Va, charged with the MUIR
der Of his brother and the astrocious
mutilation OF the body, has an un-
goveEnable temper and when anger-~
is more like mad man than a sane
human being. Last summer while on
an overland trip to Wyoming he adj
ministered a severe beating to three
husky young fellows who picked a
quarrel with him.
He made this trip with a team OF
ponies and one evening he was sitting
by the roadside preparing his supper
Three strangers happened along. They
bottle Of whiskey from which they
had been drinking. They offered the
doctor drink, which he declined. They
insisted, but the doctor was firm. del
claring that he never INDUCED in liquoi
Of any kind. A coffee pot was hanging
over the fire which the doctor had
built by the side Of the road and one
Of the rowdies deliberately kicked it
over! This aroused the anger Of the
doctor and he attacked the offender
suddenly and with irresistible fury. The
doctor Is cripple and he always
carries heavy cane, which he used
to good effect on this occasion. The
man attacked! --as overwhelmed ;,cfc-c
his friends could offer assistance, one
of his arms being broken with the cane.
He hit the second man over the head
with 1t, knocking him unconscious and
the third man surrendered without re-
sistace
The doctor forced the uninjured man
to load the wounded into q wagon and
take them to hospital. It is said
to have been this same cane with
which he is charged with using to
knock his brother down. following
which he was choked to death. The
doctor is small of stature and will not
weigh over $50 pounds.
It is believed here that it Doctor
Chamberlain Ia guilty Of the revolving
murder Of his brother over a paltry
$1,000 he and the brother must have
quarreled and that the latter was slain
while the doctor was in a At Of rage.
