- " '' ' ' '
Young Man in County Bastile
Awaiting Trial for His
Foolish Undertaking.
ShcrilT Ouinton returned last
evening on Ihe i:10 Missouri l'a
citje train from Weeping Water,
win tl lie was called to investi
gate tin; aileyed 'Black Hand"
letter that created such excite
ment in tin vicinity of Nehawka
a i u V 'p it i V a 1 e i ami 'the
sheriff hrou.nht hack with him
Ceore Crifton, the ymm? man
who was arrested at Weepinjr
Water under suspicion of having
written Ihe Idlers to Mr. Knabe.
The youiipr man has apparent
ly attempted to keep nothing
back concerning the letters and
stated that lie had been staying
at Lincoln for the past few weeks
since his return from Manila,
Iowa, where hi; was enframed in
shucking corn in the fall, and
while in Lincoln he had prepar
ed the letter to Mr. Knabe, and
with it in his possession, went
to Omaha and caught the Mis
souri. laci!iev train .for. Union,
walking from that town to the
Knabe farm, and placed the let
ter in the mail box himself. He
I hen went to Ihe barn at this
farm and slept all night in the
haymow and spent the day in
that neighborhood, and becoming
hungry, he killed a rabbit and
was cooking it when he was met
by a man working on the Sturm
farm , near that place,' and after
finishing his .meal he continued
on inlo Weeping Water, and
I here decided to go to the Knabe
farm and borrow some money or
try and get work, and he claims
ttiat he was waiting for tin east
bound I rain to go to Nehawka
when arrested by Marshal Noel.
The letter .which young Clif
ton dropped in the mail box was
as follows:
"Mr. Knabe: If yon do not
leave -500 in small bills or gold
or silver by the side of the ith
telephone pole east of the Mis
souri Pacific tracks before nine
o'clock Tuesday evening, your
house will .be riddled with bul
lets. If we don't get you then
we will get you later. And if
you tell anybody before we gel
you then wo will get you and
whoever you tell. Remember
that if you don't leave it you will
be killed. We mean what we say,
a long life if you leave the
money and death if you don't.
We will give this money back in
two years with interest at 6 per
cent. "The Hunch."
The young man is well thought
of in Lincoln, where he has
made his home at different
times, as appears from the fol
lowing from the Stale Journal in
regard to the matter:
George Clifton has had a
rough road to travel, according
to Ihose who have followed his
career in Lincoln. He came here
about two years ago from Oma
ha. He had gotten into some se
rious difficulty there, but through
the influence of Judge Kennedy,
the boy was not prosecuted. He
was sent to Lincoln in care of
the local Y. M. C. A. lie attend
ed school during the year 1912
13 and tended a furnace for his
board and lodging. Last sum
mer Clifton went to Nehawka,
near Weeping Water, and work
ed for sime little time there. He
returned to Lincoln in the fall in
the hope, of lindin;

he was low on funds, he became
entangled in a padded grocery
bill. Tiie woman where he stay
ed claimed that her grocery bill
had been greater than they
should have been. "An investiga
tion showed that most of th
padding hail been for cheese and
crackers purchased by youn
Clifton in times of hunger. He
was not prosecuted.
I 'or the past few months Clif
ton has been in Iowa shuck in
corn. IIerelurned to Lincoln
few days ago and through I he aid
of friends here secured on Mon
day the position on a farm near
Weeping Water, where he went
the lirst of this week.
Those who were acquainted
with the boy express sympathy
for him. His parents have been
dead for a number of years. He
has several brothers and sisters
who have been compelled to live
as he has lived, by the aid of
others. He is reported to be. a
good worker and it is said that
he always felt a deep responsi
bility in his brothers and sisters
and helped them often. He is of
an imaginative frame of mind.
with tendencies of a dreamer.
The young man was arraigned
this afternoon at 2 o'clock before
Judge Allen J. Ueeson in counly
court, charged with atlenmpting
to obtain money by force ami
coercion, and he was bound over
to awaite trial in district court.
THE PEOPLE REJOICE
IN ONCE MORE HAVING
OUR STREETS CLEAN
From Tuesday's Pally.
The main street of the city
yeslerday received a thorough
cleaning at the hands of Street
Commissioner Mike Lutz and his
force nf workmen, as they were
out bright and early with the
hose and all day the work of
washing off the mud continued
and in a short lime the street
presented a vastly different ap
pearance and one that made it
much easier for the pedestrians
to get from one side of the street
to the other withouL having lo
sink several inches in mud, as
hail been the case for the past
few wefks. The mud had become
quite deep on the street and Hie
work of the men to remove it
was made more difficult by this
fact, but the strong pressure of
the water from the hose soon had
the dirt flying and floating down
the street toward the subway.
Charged With Carrying Weapons
The county attorney has liled
an information in the district
court against Plasido Calderos,
charging him with carrying a
dangerous and deadly weapon
a large butcher knife. This. is
the Mexican who was arrested at
Louisville a short lime ago, and
his case will be laken up by
Judge Hegley, ami the man re
ceive his just deserts.

25c package of tooth powder. Ask

Current From Iowa City Turned
on in Residence Part of City
Without Notice.
The long expected and looked
for electric service from lied
Oak, Iowa, which the residents of
this city have been waiting for
has been completed, and yester
day afternoon the current was
turned on in the residence par
of the city, but many of the resi
dents were unaware of the fact
that they were using the current
from the Iowa city.
The company expects to In
able to carry the service on al
night as soon as the line gels in
full operation and the Rid Oak
plant gets adjusted to the task
of supplying Hie increasei
amount of current needed. Tin
change in the business section o
the citv will not be made for
several days, as several of I In
business houses and factories
are using motors and it will In
necessarv (o replace these with
new ones adjusted to the new
current, and as soon as this i
conipleieq l lie winue ciiy w in i
connected up and the lied Oak
line will supply the "juice" t
operate tin service.
It is the intention of the com
pany to place a number of new
generators in the plant in this
city and lix up the machinery in
order thai the plant can be oper
ated as an auxiliary in case of
any accident or trouble that
might arise, putting the lied
Oak plant in such shape that it
could not supply the current, and
in that case the plant in this city
could be placed in operation and
carry on the work of the com
pany. The change it is lo be hopet
will result in giving this city tin
long-desired relief from tin
conditions that .have prevailed in
the light business, and that tin
company will be able to supply
the current to those who desire
and that a twenty-four-hour
service will be inaugurated.
which will be found one of tin
things most needed here, as at
anv time current is desired it
can be secured and it will not bi
necessarv to wait for a certain
hour to secure it.
Charges Men With Burglary.
From Tuesday's Da 11 v.
The county attorney has hied
an information in the district
court against Kiwin Saau and
Hoy Iiawsnn, charging tlieni with
burglary in breaking into Ihe
stores of Slander & Slander and
Frank Nichols at Louisville, and
the men will be arraigned in
court to answer to this charge, fo
which Ihey entered a plea of
guilty in the county court. The
men will be confined in the jail
until the district judge passes on
their case.
FOR ANOTHER DERATE
From Tuesday's Daily.
The Loyal Sous of the Chris
tian church have arranged lo
hold another debate in this city
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M.
S. Hriggs, on Wednesday evening,
January 28th. At this time At
torney A. (5. Cole will deliver a
hort lecture to the class and the
question to be debated by the
young men will be, mat llie
building of the Keokuk dam and
its idea has been of more hem til
to the people of the United Stales
than the building of the Panama
canal." The question will be
presented by able speakers on
both sides and Ihe meeling will
be one that will be thoroughly en
joyed by all who attend.
Pain.
We should be rather thankful
for pain which shows us that we
havet ransgressed some natural
law and disobeyed some rule,
that we either ate or drank what.
we should have lelt alone, or lliai
we stayed up lo late. The di
gestive system Js usually the lirst
lo suffer. Constipation sets in,
with headache or backache, loss
of appetite,-poor digestion. Then
we need Triner's American Klixir
of JJiller Wine, because it will
thoroughly clean out the whole
body and streiuxllfeit il at the
am time, so it could perform
its" digestive duty alone. II is a
very good remedy in diseases nr

(owels. At drug stores. Jos.

needs, from time to time, a good

the best for it, became it is so
