some corn, and that Mrs. Tom Gar

The sums of money they received
seventy-six cents, and one dollar,
and similarly small sums-were d.
vided among the boys selling the
grain, 1t was to go for some coveted
article of boyhood's desire. Chickens
and pigeons also benefited from the
gains from the car.

court that the car was open and that

that he was the man who shot PATROL
man Mcpherson the night that the
policeman encountered robbers at the
Ewers-McCarthy store, and went to
the hospital as result Of the gun
play that followed. The man was
arrested on clue obtained by Chief
Henneman a couple OF weeks or so
ago.
The man was questioned thorough

so that in the end the police released
him as innocent of the charge. The
arrest was the result of remark

Keokuk Automobile Owners May Elk.
pect to Have Cars Confiscated
II They Fall to Follow
State Law.
CONFERENCE MAPS PLAN
Dealers Who Put Their Numbers on
Private Cars are Liable to Prose-
cution Also, It 10
Said.

Any Keokuk automobile owners who
have not paid licenses for their cars
for this year may expect to have their
autos confiscated and sold for taxes
Delinquent tax payers the state over
have been checked up by Investigators
from the state offices, and at a con-
ference of officials this plan was
agreed upon. From Des Moines comes
the following outline of the campaign
to secure back auto licenses:
All automobiles in Iowa upon which
licenses are not at once paid will be
seized and sold for taxes.
This announcement was made this
morning after conference of state
officials who have been checking up
delinquent taxpayers.
Five special auto tax investigators
started to work in Polk county at once
hunting down cars in which taxes FOR
1919 or previous years have not yet
been paid. Others are scattering out
over the state.
Notice is to be pasted upon the
windshields of cars whose owners are
delinquent. They will be given five
days to appear before the county attor'
ney and settle up. At the end of that
time proceedings will be begun and
the cars seized.
Also After Dealers.
A dealer is allowed a license for
SIS. with additional plates for 81.
When he sells car he is allowed tc
give the customer a dealers license
which the customer may use fifteen
days only.
Charges are made that the custo
mers are using the numbers over the
length of time allowed. The investf
gators also say that the dealers are
using dealers numbers on private
cars. and also on their work cars, ,ol
which private licenses must be OBJ
| tanned.
About thirty investigators are work
| ing throughout the state on the ta1
delinquency. The men here state tina
over 100000 has been secured in pas
due licenses in the past thirty days.
Another phase of the investigation
is the owner who drives with on
number.
The agents say that many men will
two cars buy single set Of plates
and place one on each car. giving thu
excuse when stopped that they have
lost one number. This practice will
also be stopped they aver.
