The race in the Commercial
league is unusually close this year,
and it is almost impossible to pick
a winner at this time. The standing
of the teams is SO close that a win
or lose would make decided change
all the way around.
Since the Electrics Withdrew from
the league and were replaced by
Huiskamps the contesting teams
have been a great deal more evenly
matched.
These games are played on Satur-

Two games are played each Satur-

2:30 and the second at 400 o'clock.

n'ents, by the Police, Result in
Information Being Filled
for Felony.

The mystery of the automobile
along the road between Warsaw and
Hamilton, near Wythe church, told in
me Gate City recently, was solved by
the Keokuk police today.
| They arrested James Means ant
turned him over to Sheriff Bennett of
Hancock county, Illinois, who took
him to Carthage Jail. The charge Is
grand larceny
1t developed that the Ford left
standing alongside the road for a
couple Of weeks belonged to w. e.
Conover. Of Lima. Illinois, who until
July !, was the mail carrier between
Lima and Warsaw.
When he went to get 1t, three tires,
one wheel, lot of tools and other
things detachable had been stolen.
His Wife a Good TaIker.
Also, night before last Mr.. and
Mrs. James Means were both at the
police station. Means was trying to
get hondsman to keep him out Of
jail, and Mrs. Means was talking to
him In a very strenuous way-the con-
yersation ended in an agreement to
get divorce.
During this conversation, Mrs
Means charged Means with variety
Of offenses against the law and good
conduct, some of which he admitted.
Among the things she mentioned in
cidentally during her flow Of language
was his bringing home stolen tires
and cutting the numbers off them.
Some more of her talk pointed to the
Illinois side of the river.
Story Fails to Convince.
The police started on this clue and
kept on until they called in Sheriff
Bennett this forenoon and after a con-
sultation with him determined to ar
rest Means for stripping the automo-
bile in the road near the Wythe
church.
After his arrest, Means said that
he did not strip the automobile OF
everything that would come loose, but
that he was with another party, I'M
known to him, who did the stripping
and sold the automobile parts to him
for S.
This story did not sound convincing
to the officers, and Chief Henneman
turned Means over to Sheriff Ben
nett who took him to the Hancock
county jail.
The penalty is Imprisonment in the
penitentiary, If Means is convicted
over in Illinois.
