IOWA CONSTABLE
IN TROUBLE HERE
Herman Holtorfer Comes to City to
Serve Warrant and Lands in POr
lice Station Over Night
HEAVILY ARMED TO THE TEETH
Big Revolver With Belt of Cartridges
Strapped Around His Waist Is
Taken From Him.

Herman HoItorfer is a real consta-
bIe. His home is in Iowa City and
when he came here yesterday looking
for a guy" he had holster strapped
to him from which peeped q 'gat'
which looked as big as d cannon.
He wore q black felt hat well pulled
down over his eyes and he looked the
part all right, even though he only
weighed lis pounds. What he lacked
in size he made up in bravery.
In his pocket he carried 8 warrant
for the arrest of a man. AS luck would
have il he ran into his victim at the
corner Of Twentieth street and Second
avenue Although it Is customary for
officers in serving papers to read them
10 the defendants, Herman thought his
victim was 3 perfect gentleman" so
he handed IL to him 10 read.
But the horrid fellow grabbed the
warrant, tore it into little bits and
threw It in the face of the consta bic.
Herman was so mad he stamped his
foot.
Pondering deeply on what his next
move should be he went to police head
quarters for a conference with Chief
Miller. The latter explained that no
arrest could be made without a new
warrant as the officers here knew
nothing about the alleged violation Of
the law and also intimated that It was
usually the custom OF "constables" in
visiting a city where they had papers
to serve, to call on the police for aid
in the first instance.
Utterly downcast at his failure as
real Sherlock, the gumfoOt sleuth left
the station at o'clock yesterday after
noon. At 5 O'Clock there came a call
from Officer Kinney for the wagon at
Nineteenth street and Second avenue.
Herman was polluted to the ears. He
ATTEMPTED to drown his SORROWS in the
flowing bowl and was all in, down and
out when escorted to the station. When
he was searched. the wicked looking
revolver, the belt Of cartridges and
holster were taken from him.
Il don't think ii nice for you to take
IT. !" sobbed~ the Iowa City limb Of the
Law as he saw his priced shooting iron
going away from him
Starts Reign of Terror.
In the hour from to Herman got
busy. He went into the recruiting sta
ton for the United States marine corps
at Nineteenth street and Second ave
nue. and notified Sergeant J F. Gala
CHER that he would get him. while
he nervously fingered his gun, He also
went TO a saloon near Twentieth street
