ed.
The story told by the 4-year
old girl and her mother discloses
one OF the most hendish crimes
ever committed in this county.
According to the evidence Civ
en- to the grand jury the little
girl s mother left her in the care
OF MIR. Lamb while she came TO
town, and upon ner return home
the little girl, who is only 4'years
Of age and iatherless, complain, d
Of feeling bad The mother in
vss,igated aud found the child
I'D been horribly mistreated and
asked her what had happened and
it was then that the ssittIe tot told
OF the dastardly deed committed
! b. Dou glass Lamb. WHO'S prob,
ably more than so years. OF age
and the father of grown children.
The 9-yeaf-old little girl then
testified that Lamb had taken
hold OF her arm and tried to.ge,t
her ata d rear room Of the store,
telling her that be would give her
all the candy she wanted TO eat
il she would be his sweetheart for
a snort time. The child broke
loose from his grip ano ran home.
Two colored girls, one 9yeats

they Would be his sweetheart for
a few minutes.
Since Lambs actions has be-
come known to the residents 6i

: running high ands sthere was some
t talk OF violence on tae part OF
the people who were 20 wrought
{ up over the hendish crime against
, the 4-year old orphan girl,
! States attorney Lewis has heard
J OF other actions on the part ofthis
: man which, if true. are if possible
more brutal aad inhuman than the
crime he is already charged with.
The stories OF his doings came
q to Mr.. Lewis after the grand Jury,
: but he says they wilt be thorough.
, ly investigated and the man will
be prosecuted TO the full extent
: OF the law.
II these charges are true which
in all prob liability, they are, the
negroes OF the South have moth
ing on this man who represents
himself to be human being.
States attorney Lewis will have
the unqualified enjorsemen:
every cstizen in this community
IN the prosecution OF this case.
Such.men running at large are
a menace TO the entire community

He had received no American papers
and had been absent in the interior

ING CAMP DODGE.

Des Moines, Oct. 29.-Volmtary cen
sorship Of all information concerning
the movement Of troops from the eigh-
ty-eighth division of the national army
at Camp Dodge will be enforced by
Des Moines newspapers.
The action comes following a con-
ference of newspaper men and Major
H. H Polk, acting intelligence officer,
and is done with a view to eliminating
the slightest possibility of furnishing
information which might be OF value
to the country's enemies.
The rules for voluntary censorship
as outlined by the war department in
clude the suppression Of all news rel
alive to the movement of soldiers to
other points insofar as it relates direct.
ly to the time of leaving, train sched-
ules or routes over which troop trains
will move and destinations.
This means that no announcements
of the time of leaving of Iowa men in
the 163d depot brigade scheduled to
go to Deming to fill national guard
units to war strength will be made.
The full information will be given
following the arrival of troops at their
destination.
The voluntary censorship also ap.
plies to all news which it is deemed
might be of importance to enemies.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
STRIKES DEADLOCK

Des Moines, Oct. 29.-Attorney Gen
eral H. M. Havner has bumped his
head against stone wall in the recent
recount Of ballots cast at the prohibit
tory amendment election.
The wall is Section 1877 of the Sup
plement to the Code, relating to voting
machines, which provides that after
judges have completed and fully ascer-
tanned the count, they shall lock the
voting machines, which shall remain
locked for period of thirty days.
In previous recounts district court
judges have always refused to order
the machines opened until the 3O-day
period had elapsed. Polk county sup
ervisors have not opened the voting
machines here and refuse to do so un-
til they receive an opinion from the
county attorney as to their legal right
to do SO within the 30-day limit.
