from injuries he received when a
tractor tipped over, pinning him be-
meath it. Mr.. Butler was 81 years of
age.
The accident happened Tuesday
afternoon near his home. He was
blowing with Fordson tractor when
he noticed that an oil truck which
was bringing him gas was stuck in
the mud. He took the tractor over to
help pull the truck out and in doing
so it tipped over backwards pinning
him underneath. The men with the
oil truck made several attempts to
get him from underneath the tractor
but it was half an hour before they
were able with the help of some
neighbors to release him. ....
BY this time he had received severe

and that the first floor of the build
ing had been rented to an eastern
concern for the annual rental of
$4,000. In his petition Fish claims
that none of these statements are
true and that Christensen falsely
represented the status of the COM
pany in order to sell the stock. He
asks that the $6,250 which he in-
vested in stock be returned to him
and that he be awarded $1,000 ad-
ditional damages.
Ebbe ]. Hansen states in his petit
ton that Christensen told him that
r. A. Crawford, then president of
the Valley National Bank of Des
Moines was to be active in the pro-
motion and organization of the Com
monwealth Mortgage and Bond Co.,
and that if he bought stock in the
company he would be given control
of an agency of said company at
Harlan, Iowa. He AYERS that the
statements above referred to were
made in February, 1918, and that
he bought 100 shares of stock at the
price of $25 per share upon Mr..
Christensen's statement that it was
worth it and that the price was more
than the par value.
D. P. Becker alleges in his petit
tion that Mr.. Christensen made the
same statements to him that he did
to Mr.. Fish and asks that the $4,000
which he invested be returned to
him.

err, in which George p. Fish and d.
P. Becker, of Atlantic, and Ebbe ].
Hansen, of Harlan, are attempting
to recover the money expended by

pany at the time they bought the
stock. .'.
Fish claims that Christensen rep
resented to him that the company
was solvent; that the par value of
the stock was 800 and that it was
actually worth 1925 per share; that
the company had sold $750,000
worth of stock prior to April 10,
1920, and that there would soon be a
million dollars worth Of stock sold,
at which time the stock would ad-
vance to $3.50 per share; that the

Saved The Boys Life

When Motorman Charles Kyle OF
Council Bluffs saw child walk onto
the track in front of his car as il
passed near Sixteenth street at Ave-
nue. A Wednesday evening, he
damned on the breaks.
The child fell on the ties while the
car was not ten yards away and all
the sand in the box and the brakes
on tight would not stop its mo-
mentum.
Kyle reversed the power, knowing
full we'll that the fuses in the contol
box would burn out and become dan
gerous.
They did, and set fire to the seat
of pair of trousers in which was
c. H. Keys, Elder Court.
Keys rolled backwards through
the opened door of the car, clutching
the burned portion with his hands,
but the car stopped and the life of
one Council Bluffs baby was saved.
The car, number sol, is an open
front affair Keys was standing on
the rear platform with his back to
the motorman.
Although the seat of his pants
was badly burned he took it all in
good part when he learned that the
timely action of the motorman in re-
versing his power had saved the life
of child.
The kiddy stood near the car
watching the fuss and seemed high
ly amused when Keys sat down to
rub his smoking pants on the curb.
The name of the child was not OBJ
tanned, but the passengers thought
it to be a boy Of 8 or years age.
He seemed to be unaware that he
had escaped death by a hairbreadth
at the cost OF a pants seat.

CHICAGO YOUTH CoNFEssEs
Killed Two Automobile Statesmen in
Order to Get Possession of New
High Priced Car

Harvey w. Church, the 20-year-
old youth accused of Staying
B. J. Daugherty and Carl Asmus of
Chicago, to obtain $1,000 automo-
bile, broke down Sunday after
twelve hours OF questioning and made
a complete confession,
The youth, who was brought back
Saturday night from Adams, Wis,
his former home, where he had
driven his mother Friday, the day
after the murders, was quoted as
admitting he alone had planned and
executed the tragedy.
The terrible beatings shown on
the bodies and the trusting of both
was merely "to be sure they were
dead" according to the alleged con-
fession, which in part follows:
"Asmus waited in the car outside
my home at the curbing, while l
went inside with Daugherty. I told
him l would give him the money in
the parlor. When 1 got to the parlor
/ drew a pistol. He held up his
hands.
II pulled out the handouts and
told him to hold out his hands one
at time. / kept him covered. He
looked like powerful man and l
wasn't going to give him chance.
took him into the basement.
when we got down the stairs 1
took the baseball bat in one hand,
but / kept him covered. Turn
around 1 said. He started to turn.
swung the bat with all my might
and 1t caught him across the head.
He went down, but tried to strike
back.
IT kept beating him until he didn't
move. / hit him with bat and
with a Ratchet. Then cut his
throat. 1 was afraid he might come
to while / was upstairs to get Asmus.
Then went upstairs and waited. l
knew Asmus would come in. He
did few moments later and I went
through the same thing.
II waited until dark and put AS
mus in hole in the garage. Then
i bound Daugherty in quilt and
dragged him TO the automobile. I
dumped him in the river. Then I
drove around in the car.
at didn't seem so terrible to me.
l wanted the car and I thought l
would get caught il Daugherty or
the other fellow got away"
The body of Daugherty was found
in the Desplaines river, few blocks
from the Church home Friday. Rope
was twisted tightly about the throat
which was cut from ear to ear. A
pair of handouts dangied from one
wrist.
Saturday search of the garage
behind the Church home revealed
the body of Asmus. who had been
buried while yet alive, according to
the coroner.
Church. following his arrest, as
serted his innocence and returned to
Chicago. He was accompanied by
his aged parents and drove the car
for the possession of which he was
accused of killing the two men.
Later Church was said to have adj.
mitted another person was implicat-
ed in the two Sayings, but refused
to, reveal any name. The police,
however. declared that they were
convinced that the first story he told
was correct.
