BANK ROBBERS FAILED
Carroll Sheriff Made Lucky Hit
Escaped In A Skiff
Car Captured

went out Sunday night on the
hunt for a woman on some
charge, found her at Miami and
arrested her at 2 a. m. and re-
turning to his boat at the river
bank, ran into two men sitting
on the bank. and here is the
story.
A woman wanted on some
charge was located at Miami by
the sheriff of Carroll county and
Monday night he went with
another man to effect her arrest.
He left his car on the opposite
side of the Missouri river from
Miami, secured a skiff from a
farmer and went across the
river to Miami and after some
little time, located the woman
and hustled her out of the house.
The sheriff had taken the pre-
caution to lock his skiff to a
stake on the bank or the story
would have been different. AT
ter arresting the woman and
starting to the boat with her,
the deputy some distance ahead.
two men were discovered sitt-
ing under the bank of the river
by the deputy as he was looking
for their boat with his flash
light. He threw the light on
the men and held it there. One
of them inquired how they could
get across the river. The de-
putty told him he did not know
He still held his light on the men
when one of them said, what
for the light on US? The deputy
did not answer but kept the
men in the light. One of the
men got up hastily with a rifle
and pointing it at the deputy,
told him to douse the glim and
git. He got and when up the
hank called. "Oh sheriff, get a
move" The men at the rivers
edge jumped into the boat and
found that it was fast and being
in a hurry left the things they
had slowed away in the wrong
boat and took to their own, a
few yards down the river and
put out across the stream. The
sheriff and deputy and woman
piled into their boat and pur-
sued and when some distance
out, the sheriff yelled, lock
that car, don't let any one in it. "
and the other men in the other
boat evidently thot there was
a guard over their own car and
headed down the river in the
skiff. The sheriff took possess
ion of the car, a big Chandler
Six and took it back to Carroll
ton along with a splendid set of
burglar tools found in his skiff
among which was a light oxy-
acetylene torch, a machine which
will go through any manganese
or Tungsten steel like a needle
thru a candle.
Tuesday morning the Carroll
sheriff came to Brunswick. got
a motor boat and secured the
river in search of the undoubted
burglars and safe crackers, but
so far no clue to them has been
learned. The car was claimed
by a st. Louis party but the
sheriff will require complete
Identification and evidence that
the car was stolen, hut even if
he loses the car, he has a fine
set of tools with which to bore
his way into solid mysteries. 1t
is clearly evident that the two
men were in Miami for the pur-
pose of looting the bank but
the commotion made in secur-
ing the arrest of the woman
scared them to the river to wait
until quiet had been restored in
town and in loading their billies.

was lost, only tool chest full
of tools being rescued and that
because it was at the front door.
| Among the sad losses was the
records of Warren Lodge, A. F.
and A. M. no. At. There was
at no time from the beginning
of the fire a chance to rescue
anything from the upper story
over the HALEY store, the prop
erty of the lodge and there is no
way to replace the historic mat
ter.
When the walls begun to col
lapse and heat uncomfortable to
fill the street, it was evident that
the north side block would go
also, but M. w. Anderson with
an able corps of helpers piled
his spray pumps on awnings and
windows and door frames effec-
lively and to the endurance of
the heat and the little pumps is
attributable the existence of
that and the block west, tho
the fire fighters in the rear of
these blocks did splended work.
Again has the attention of the
citizens of this city been called
to the value of a water system
even tho a small one, each of
the three fires since 1880 repre-.
senting losses much greater
than the cost of complete sys-
TEN. Under the rule, two more
fires are due and no water.
Wells were so close to the fire
that they were not usable, and
it is conceded that had a fire
plug existed on the street any,
where, the loss Sunday night
would perhaps not have exceed
ed $50 if so much.
The list of the losses as far as
we could ascertain is:

OBITUARY..

Mary Anna Edmister passed peace
fully away early Monday morning, af-
ter brief illness of two weeks.
Matte, as she was generally called.
was the daughter of David S. and
Olive C. Edmister, pioneer residents of
Howard county. She was born at the
farm home near Cresco, on Sept. End,
1876. There she grew to womanhood,
and in March 1905 came to Cresco with
the family to live.
OF an Industrious temperament, she
sought employment and obtained po-
sition in the G. Meverden furniture
store as bookkeeper and clerk. She
was there five and one-half years, re-
signing her position only a short time
before going into business for herself.
In Jan. 1912 she and her sister, Emma
Edmister, purchased the stock Of the
Wonder store from L. E. Baker and
have continued the business under the
firm name of Edmister & Edmister.
Though never of robust health, she
was faithful to every detail of an ever
increasing business, often overtaxing
her strength in her desire to better
serve the customers of this popular
store.
In August 1905 she united with the
Congregational Church of Cresco, and
was a faithful attendant at the SER
vices of the church. She was secre-
tary of the Bible class. and though she
was then ailing attended the Bible
class two weeks ago last Sunday and
performed her duties as secretary.
She was q member of the Cresco Re-,
bekah Lodge; and had just been elec-
ed to membership in the Cresco Chap.
ter of the Eastern Star, but her last
sickness prevented the fulfillment of
an ardent wish to be a member Of that
fraternal order.
A frail body did not discourage her
in her endeavor to do the useful things
of life. There is left i. the family
circle to mourn her loss, her mother,
Mrs. Olive Edmister, her sister, Emma
and her brother, Ira G. Edmister.

home on Wednesday afternoon at two
o'clock, conducted by her pastor. Rev..

Iowan to Manage Liberty Loan" Sale


The third Liberty Loan campaign in
Iowa will be in charge of an 1owan,
Charles H. McNider, president of the
First National Bank, Mason City, and
first ce-president of the Greater Iowa
Association, having been selected by
the Federal Reserve Board as state
chairman.
All of the facilities of the Greater
Iowa Association will be turned over to
Chairman McNider for the actual work
of organizing the county committees.
Sec'y Clum of the Greater Iowa Asso-
citation will have temporary Offices with
the Federal Reserve Board in Chicago
and MIR. McNider will spend the next
two or three weeks in Chicago getting
the state organization outlined.
In the two previous Liberty Loan
campaigns the state Craftsmanship was
held by, q Chicsgoan who was not in
touch with local conditions in Iowa and
it was felt by many active men in this
state that to make the third Liberty
Loan drive even more successful than
the two previous drives, the ,organiza-
ton should be turned over to Iowans.
In the second Liberty Loan campaign
only twelve counties in Iowa reached
their maximum quota and many coun-
ties did not reach their minimum. A
careful analysis of this condition has
shown that the counties making poor
records were not properly organized.
The plan for the third Liberty Loan
drive contemplates complete county or
ganizations. 1s(ir
In the organization plan for this
third Liberty Loan campaign all of the
commercial clubs of the state will be
utilized to the fullest extent. Through
the Secretarial Bureau of the Greater
Iowa Association the facilities of each
community club in Iowa are made
available and each of these clubs has
pledged its entire effort to- this cam
paign. ~

Save The Hens!

Every laying hen sold from the
farms before the first of May means .
loss of about 80 eggs to the food sup.
ply of the Nation. These eggs are
valuable food, manufactured largely
from insects, weeds, and grass, garb-
age and waste. The eggs, therefore,
are almost wholly . net gain in human
food. Moreover, the hen is just as
good meat after she has laid these
eggs as before.
