THUGS RUIN HORSES
Legs of Horses Are Wired With
Barbed Wire Together.

Anamosa, Iowa,-Officers of Jones
county are investigating one of the
most dastardly crimes committed in
he county in many years. Last
Monday night unknown persons
bound the hind legs of the horses of
Ed Shimerda together with barbed
wire, using a stick to draw the wire
together tightly. The horses were
running in the pasture on his farm
northeast of here. The horses were
badly famed.
Bloodhounds were secured as soon
as the matter was reported to the
authorities, but they were unable to
pick up any definite trail.

MEANEST THIEF NOT IN PRISON
Robs Aged Convict of Fort Madison
Penitentiary.

Fort Madison, Iowa-Down at the
Fort Madison penitentiary is lit
tie old man of SO, lifer, whose
scanty leisure time is spent wholly
for the sake of the wife who waits
back home.
Day in and day out thru the long
years his ingenious brain has devised
unique methods for raising funds to
send to cher whose very life de-
ponds on the meager profits from his
wares.
Months and months of time were
consumed in making a cane with a
steel wire base. More than $4,000 cir
cular pieces of paper were patiently
strung on the wire and pressed into
hard mass. A glazed finish was
added. He asked S. for his labors.
He gained access to the horse
barns, where he painfully collected a
few hairs a time until he had a
uiiNiChk INiiOCI W itldhc uIdidcd
horse hair bride.
Strings of beads on gold wire bring
81. A clock, mounted on a abalone
shell and black crocheted jacket for
ladies wear are other products of his
ambition.
Hope burned strong in his eyes
when he was permitted to send a
group of his articles to the Fort
Madison exhibit at the fair. He pick
out his best efforts. He expected
only the barest profits.
Sunday night a thief entered the
booth and stole the can and several
strands of beads. A helpless old
woman has been robbed of her only
means of sustenance and the months
of toll have been in vain.
No. 10419 has made his terrible
mistake and he is trying to atone for
the wrong. Love has kept his hands
busy and his spirit alive.
Won't the person who took the
cane and the beads bring them back?
Don't make the crosses any harder to
bear.
