Stacker kiburz was under indictment
on registration day and was in the
state of Oregon under the name of
Harry Kelly, under which name he
registered in that state. Since them
his case was settled in Jones county
and he returned. The marshal heard
that he had registered under an as
sumed name and on investigation
onday found that was true, and so
took him to Anamosa, where he was
registered. Under the new ruling, his
name will be put in the list of names
drawn, in place OF some one exempted,
so that he is sure to go to war under
the first call, unless he fails to pass
the proper examination. kiburz was
then taken to Cedar Rapids before

necessary, left Cedar Rapids that af-
ternoon for a tour of the counties Of
Tama and Grundy. They visited the
t ms of Norway, Blairstown, LuzerPe
and Belle PLANE that afternoon and
evening. winding UP their work at
Belle PLANE at 1890 that night. They
interviewed those reported as talking
disloyally or left word with the post
masters to see certain parties and tell
them that they tried to find>them, and

Garwin. Here they quickly gathered
TO IT men who were close by, taking
them to the city park There they
and others of their kind who were dis

putting them where they could do no.
further harm: that if there were not
tails enough to hold them, then fair
grounds would be used with gun
guards over them; but that in any

and publicly declared that there would
be no further talk from them.

street, as ne climbed from the auto.
AS the man lowered head above, the
marshal said, Il understand that you
are ready to argue with any one on
the war question. I wish to hear
what you have to say" The man re-
