was first called and 1t was found that
this banker did not have a Buick
car. The marshal then got in touch
with the secretary of state and it
was found that the car which the
boys were driving had been missed
Tuesday morning. When con-
confessed that they had borrowed
the car and that it did not belong to
their father.
They then gave their fathers adj
dress and he was notified. He came
to Elk Horn the same evening Tues
day, and took the boys back to Des
Moines. The deputy sheriff of Polk
county also came to Elk Horn after
the car. One of the boys is an
adopted son of a prominent Iowa
banker, and the boys doubtless be-
lieved that his name would get
them by any sheriff or other officer
of the law in Iowa. The boys made
serious mistake in trying to get
through Elk Horn as no one gets by
the towns authorities If they are not
too big.
The lads did not appear to be oV-
er fourteen years ord and one of
them was considerably younger than
that. When stopped at Elk Horn,
the boys had a sack Of green apples
and this was the only kind Of food
they had eaten since leaving Des
Moines at six o'clock Tuesday morn
ing. This experience will undoubt-
eddy teach them a lesson and it will
be some time before they attempt an
other escapade of this kind.

GENERAL NEWS VALUE
Churdan Farmer Disappears


Seach is being made for a young
named H. w. Johnson, who disaP-
peared a few days ago from the
farm where he had been working
near Churdan.
Johnson recently purchased an
Overland car, and 1t was found near
the river south OF Perry a short time
ago. One tire was missing, and in
dications are that he had run quite
n distance on the rim. There was
oil and gas enough in the car to
run it to Jefferson.
Some think he became demented,
due to becoming overloaded, and
has perhaps done away with himself.
He owed but very little on the car
and had wages coming to him. He
left all his clothing at the place he
was working. He has married
sister in Sioux City, but his friends
do not know her name. 1t is re-
ported that his father, mother and
another member OF the family were
killed in an auto accident in Mime
sofa q year or so ago.
His name is Harry William John
son. He is % or 20 years old,
auouI IccL ~ ihChOo ldll anu
weighed about 100 pounds and has
light hair and a fair complexion.
To Investigate Another Crime
AS an echo to the Meyer murder
case which was tried in the Guthrie
county court a year ago last winter
a new crime is under investigation
in that same family is of interest
The Meyer family, which lives in
Madison county, seems to have a
Iurid history. Some years ago the
husband of Mrs. Ida Meyer died un'
der mysterious circumstances and
the affair was never cleared up. Two
years ago Mrs. Ida Meyer and heI
son, Fred, were indicted on a charge
of murder of the sons wife. They
were found guilty but the supreme
court set aside the verdict and Fred
Meyer was agian tried on a change
of venue at Guthrie Center. The
jury disagreed and the case there
fore was dropped. Now the county
attorney of Madison county has or
dered an investigation Of the deatt
Of Wilma Meyer, daughter OF Ida
and sister of Fred. She died under
mySterlOuS CIRCUMSTANCES anu
postmortem examination was held
to see IL the mystery could not be
cleared up. Her death is suspect
ed to have been the result of either
poisoning or of a criminal opera
ton. The matter is still in the
hands of the authorities and no con-
illusions have as yet been disclosed.
Woman Stole From Store for Years
After working as a trusted en-
pIoye for more than five years in the
Rosheg department store at Du-
buque, Mrs. Nathya Royaker, so
years old, confessed Thursday that
she had conducted a steady system
of thefts from the store which ter
minated in her arrest on a charge OF
larceny. Mrs. Royaker waived
preliminary examination in Justice
Buckley's court and was bound over
to the fall session of the grand jury.
The value of goods stolen has not
been ascertained but II is thought IT

Elk Horn Marshal Nabs Joy Riders

Love Of adventure and desire to
see the country got two young Des
Noines boys in bad. The boys Dor
rowed a neighbours Buick-Six road
ster without his consent and started
for Nebraska to visit relatives. The
youngsters did not have a cent in
their pockets and when they stopped
at different farm houses to borrow
gas, people got suspicious. The last
place where they stopped for gaso-
line was at the John N. Christensen
home east of Elk Horn. Mr.. Chris
Jensen questioned the boys and both
told a different story. Christensen
then telephoned to Elk Horn and ad-
vised the marshal to hold the boys
and make an investigation.
When they reached Elk Horn, the
marshal stopped them and question
ed them. They said that they lived
at Linden, Iowa and were on their
way to meet their father who was
waiting for them at the Council
Bluffs depot. When further ques7
toned. the lads made several con-
fiicting statements and the marshal
got busy on the telephone. Linden

Knoxville Hosnital Changed


The war department has taken the
building and 40 acres of land at
Knoxville which was originally used
for an industrial home for the blind
and later devoted to the treatment
OF inebriates and dope fiends. The
departure OF the saloon left the in
stitution without any tenants and so
IL was closed by the state board of
control. Under the contract the
government leases the property until
July l, 1921, paying a rental OF
$500 per month for it. With the
exception OF the forty acres which
goes with the government lease the
state reserves the $50 acres or so in
the farm this season. When the
legislature meets next January the
proposal to buy the property may be
put up to II by the government.
The government will use the proper
ty as a sanitarium for wounded and
diseased soldiers Of the late war.

Dog Walked from Canada to Iowa

Jack Porter of Granger has a
hound dog which has the carrier
pigeon instinct to the ninth degree.
He cannot travel quite as fast but
his methods are Just as sure and his
recent record is one which the entire
dog world has never equalled.
Porter lives at hotel in Granger.
He had no particular use for the dog
and when some Of his friends moved
to Canada a few weeks ago he placed
the dog in box car and shipped
him north, believing he would be OF
more use on a farm than following
him around at his work in Granger.
The dog made the trip to Canada
all right but did not take kindly to
his new home. He missed the Iowa
corn fields and the scraps thrown to
him by the hotel man In Granger.
Soon after his arrival in Canada
he disappeared and nothing was ever
heard Of him until several weeks lat

defeat in the little town of Nashua,
Sunday evening when he attempted
to scale the wall of the DeNoylles
hotel. Hundreds Of people had
gathered to see the advertised feat
and after short speech in which he
apoligized for the tameness of his
undertaking because there was moth

on his perilous journey to the roof
via the window lodges. But he had
not reckoned with the swarm of bees
that have been storing honey in the
walls of the hotel for many years
and he was halted at the second
story by a hostile bee who disputed
his passage. The human fly fell
back to the window ledge and after
picking out the stingers he made an
other attempt but was again repuls-

publican at the Nordskog meat mar
ket shortly before closing time on

woman $40 in money and Is cents

payment. When offered the 1885
in change she said she did not want
to be bothered with so much Change.
"Give nae back the &c." she told
the clerk, and / will give you $40
more in change, then you can give
me a $50 bill"
The clerk did. He handed her
back the stores $40 which she re-
turned to him with $40 more and
he gave her $40. The shortage of
$40 was found when the cash regis
ter was checked and the incident re-
membered. The woman is describ-
ed as 80 or 40 years old, rather ro-
bust and we'll dressed. The swim
die was reported to the police who

the Dodgers, National League leaders
here this afternoon, by the impressive
score of to o. The New Workers out
classed the Dodgers.
Grimes, ace o the Brooklyn pitch
ing staff, was batted from the box and
Maanaux, who succeeded him, was
not effective.
The Giants were off to a flying start
in the first inning, scoring runs on
3 hard smashes, one of which was a
homer by Kelley into the left field
temporary seats.
A base on balls, a single and an in
field out in the fifth inning Melted an
other for the Giants.
In the seventh the Giants hammered
Grimes from the boxx, with a fusillade
of hits, which interspersed with err
rors, resulted in a run. Mamaux who
succeeded him, yielded a hit and two
more runs scored.
Two more were registered in the
ninth.
Estimates placed the attendance at
$4,000, but the guess must have been
inaccurate, for before time for the
contest to start a crowd of several
thousand fans, unable to gain ad-
mittance any other way, swept past
the thin line of police and crashed
the gate. Police promptly barred all
gates. George Washington Grant,
owner of the Boston Braves, Judge
