FROM PRISON TO ASYLUM.
Term of Slayer Of Cap Holland Ends
But Liberty Is Denied.

Anamosa. Jan. 3l--For fourteen
years A. NJ. Hunter has been behind
the bars in the state reformatory here
or in the state penitentiary at Fort
Madison. For two and one half years
he was not permitted TO see or con-
verse with his fellow men During all
that period he was kept in solitary
confinement at Fort Madison.
Fifteen years ago Hunter killed a
college student named Holland at
Mount Ayr, Iowa, after night Of
gambling.
The case attracted wide attention
and the trial was one of the most sem
sational in the crime annals Of Iowa
Hunter had shot his companion while
walking down street in Mount Ayr.
1t is remembered that after shooting
the young man who had been his
friend, he calmly lighted cigaret and
continued his walk to the business sec
ton of the town. His defense was that
ne mad been under provocation from
the young man who was student at
Drake University. Holland was known
thruout the state as a college athlete.
Convicted in April, 1903, he was COM
mitted to the state penitentiary and
sentenced to hard labor. He refused to
work. For this refusal he was sent in
TO solitary" 1t was determined that
he was insane and he was sent 10 the
department for the criminally insane
at Anamosa. That was almost eleven
years ago.
Yesterday the term for which Hunter
originally was committed expired. 1t
was the day on which he would have
been free. But the Jones county in
sanity commission examined him. He
was found to be suffering from form
OF insanity somewhat akin 10 that of
Harry K. Thaw, a sort of exaggerated
egotism which does not permit him to
believe that he ever can do wrong
Asked if he had any Intention of re-
turning to gambling after liberty was
given him, he said:
on, | don't know. One never can
tell. II thought could make living
at gambling again might try it
DO you think that If you gambled
now it might lead to another murder"
We'll, 1 couldn't say" replied Hunter
with a shrug. 1t might and it might
not. You never know what is going to
happen
Turnout the examination this was
his attitude. He did not gain his lib
erty. The insanity commission voted
TO send him to the hospital for the in
sane at independence. inasmuch as his
prison term has expired

finding herself In q wigwarn on the
banks Of a creek Her hair had beer
cut or and she was dressed In overalls
The only neighbors were Indians living
in similar wigwams she learned from
them that she was near Eagle Grove
Iowa, and that she was the prisoner 'of
her rejected lover. Here she was kept
a close captive while the husband Inn
agined she had deserted him.
Gets Word to Husband.
Two months elapsed before she was
able to send a letter to her husband
telling where she was and begging that
he rescue her. He started at once but
on his arrival at Eagle Grove had diff
ficulty in finding where the Indians
were camped but at last succeeded.
His wife saw him coming and ran to
meet him. During this meeting the
redskin made his getaway and was
seen no more.
About a week after they started they
arrived in Baxter penniless and told
their story to Marshal Maggard. They
said they had an Indian friend at4Tama
who would give them employment. The
woman was given suitable clothing,
they were provided with lodging. food
and given transportation to Tama.
They were both profuse in their thanks
and their promises to repay all money
expended on them.

Forcibly Taken From Ranch Home in

Baxter, Jan. 31.---Telling a story that
reads like the scenario of movie
thriller--a story of how an Indian fell
in love with a white woman, was re-
pulsed by her and then resorted to the
cave mans methods to win his mate by
force and finally a rescue by the hus-
band Mr.. and Mrs. Harold Fl. Ganett
arrived in Baxter penniless, footsore
and too thinly clad to keep out the cold
and appealed to Marshal Maggard for
aid.
The couple were married in Council
Bluffs in 1911. the bride being at tina,
time but Is years of age. and the groom
but slightly older. Soon after their
marriage they moved TO South Dakota
where they obtained employment on
ranch near the Rosebud reservation.
There they made the acquaintance OF
a number of Indians and it was not
long before one of the chiefs fell in love
with the pale face" woman. When
she did not pay attention to him he de-
termined to resort TO prehistoric way

Belgium Benefit Recital.

The music pupils of Mrs. F. E.
Morgan will give a Belgium ben
eft recital at the M. E. church,
Friday evening, Feb. 23d. The
following excerpt from a recent
publication may be of interest to
those who have not read of Bel
GUMS condition recently:
"Complacency need have nc
further part in our feeling about
the relief we have sent to Bel
gium. The excitement about
feeding Belgium having worn
off, we have ceased our minis
trations to such an extent that
more than 1,250.000 children
must be kept just inside the
starvation point in order that the
food supply, insufficient for all,
may go around and save all from
death.
The war relief commission OF
New York will have charge OF
all funds raised at this benefit
recital, and will send them tc
their final destination when the
present difficulty in reaching Bel
gium is relieved. Tickets 25c.

There was a bridge built over
this river few years ago, but
evidently the river was not pleas
ed with the architectural design
for it left the bridge and moved
over a mile or so and made a
new channel. Perhaps it would
be cheaper for the state to bring
the river back to the bridge.
Senator Mattox got into the
game with bills, and introduced
three-one to amend the library
law, one for re classifying coun-
ties and fixing salaries of Of
ficials, and one requiring drivers
of any vehicle to stop not less
fifty feet at every grade crossing
of a rail or electric road to 'look
and listen," and providing a fine
of not less than $25 nor more
than S10O for failure to comply.
This last bill is an abridgement
of personal liberty, compelling a
fool to look and listen when he
wants to race in front of a train.
Con Cronin spent $500 in at
torney fees fighting to establish
himself in his job as state librar-
ian, and Senator Mahoney in

purpose in their work, and some
good wholesome legislation will

preventative Flake that he don't

fair has not been held yet, but
let's get the money.

Saturday the senate put in it's

ing the President that in the

Monday the senate took up the
appropriation bill, and it attract
ed more than ordinary notice as
it proposed to reduce the salaries
of numerous employees. If there
is any one thing that a political
job holder objects to is having
his salary cut. He always thinks
he is entitled to more money, not
that he earns it, but political
job is his reward for party SER
vice.
The $2O0,00 appropriation for
completing the capitol building
has been put to sleep temporari-
ly, but the Phoenix lobby can be
relied upon to resurrect it before
the session closes.
A companion piece to the state
flag bill is one introduced for a
state anthem. Of course we
must have a state anthem, so
when we go marching down the
street with the state flag flying
we can all sing. We trust the
legislature will soon get through
aping California, and put out a
few original ideas. If they can t
think Of anything else suppose
they declare for an official booze
day, when everybody can get
drunk and whip his wife if he
wants to.
An old age and mothers pen
sion bill has been introduced, to
pay such dependents SIS a
month, and children under 16
years of age are to be allowed
$6 a month. What is the mat
ter with the children of this
generation that they must be
supported by a pension until
they are 16 years old. In our
day as a kid, children IA years
old went out to work to support
their mothers, and some OF the
best citizens we have in Arizona
to-day were probably of this
class. A boy IA years old that
has not ambition enough to go
out and ealn, not only a liveli-
hood for himself, but assist in
caring for his mother and young
er children, is not worth saving
with a pension. The pension
hobby is being over-worked.
Government was not instituted
