pany asserts It will be damaged by the
construction of the prnpored ditches.
Not only has the Northwestern railroad
filed a claim for $50,000 damages, but It has
also filed a protest against the construc

a number of grounds, among the number
being the allegation that the law under
which the county boards contemplate pro

Is void and unlawful for the reason that It
Is unconstitutional.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Dec. 15. (Special.) A
movement to reform Iowa laws and avoid
what appears to be not only an Invitation
to perjury, but a situation compelling per
jury tn some cases, wss started at the
conference of the superintendents of state
Institutions, as the result of statements
made by persons who are in a position
to know what Is being done. Superin
tendent Fltxgerald of the Girls' Industrial
School called attention to the fact that
the state of Iowa has made no provision
for the care and custody of girls over 16
years of age. If they are bad the only
thing to do Is to let them run until they
have committed some crime for which they
may be sent to the state penitentiary. As
a matter of fact It Is known that as a re
sult of this system many girls are sent
to the Btate Industrial School who are
over age and In order that they may be
sent there and receive the discipline and
Instruction which they need their parents
commit perjury. Miss Lundback, state
home finding agent, corroborated this, and
raised a protest against a system which
makes perjury necessary that Justice may
be done young persons of the state. An
effort will be made to revive the project
for a state reformatory for young women.
where those who are too old to be sent to
the Industrial schools may be committed.
It was explained that because of this sys
tem In Iowa a great many girls are sent
to institutions outside of the state, and
especlaly for the Good Shepherd Home in
Omaha and similar Institutions,

Dog; Case la Conrt.
The sheep killing propensities of a yel
low cur came to the attention of the judges
of the supreme court today and they sent
the case back for a Jury to decide. Jo
hannes Anderson of Buena Vista couflty
sued Theodore Hulvoraen for damages done
by the' latter's dog. There Is no doubt the
sheep were killed and the defendant's dog
waa seen at It, but the defendant claimed
that there was another dog seen there also
and it was not shown which one did the
killing or how the Job was divided. On
this Judge Quarton dismissed the case.
The supreme court reversed the case on
an error In refuting to have admitted tes
timony to show that the defendant killed
his dog and remarked that he "would kill
no more, sheep." The court also points
out that since this case the law has been
changed as to the Joint liability of the
dogs engaged In sheep killing, and that at
the time of this incident each dog Is re
sponsible for the dumage done by itself i
only.

BIIOTIU'.H TAKES VP glSTKR'S CAISE
Follows Man Who Deseats Ills Slater
and Causes His Arrest.
MARSHALLTOWN, Ia.. Dec. 15. (Special
Telegram.) A sensation was sprung in
this city last evening that with later de
velopments this morning mystified news
paper men and the public In general.
Last October, in the city of Minneapolis,
Miss Mabel Curtis, whose family Is promi
nent in Omaha, met an adventurer by the '
name of Albert J. Weiss, who Induced her
to marry him. Miss Curtis is an ardent '
Christian Scientist and Weiss worked on i
her religious sympathies. After living with
her a few days, Weiss got all Jier money
and left her In Minneapolis without a cent.
Her brother, H. F. Curtis, of Omaha, who
Is western freight agent of the Nipktl
Plat system, looked up his wronged sis
ter and, aided by all the detectives of the
lines he waa connected with and the Pin-
karton office of Chicago, began to search
for Weiss, who had been iprrstlng unler
many different names in Illlrols and he
was finally located at n prominent hotel
In Waterloo, la., by n woman d trctlv.
She had opened correspondence with him
thit eventually blissrmed Into profrss d
attachment cn hla part at least to the ex
tent of his trying to borrow her mfn?y.
This Woman has a most prepossessing ap
pearance and professed great love for
Weiss. They en me to Marshalltown on the
same train and In order to obtain frn
Weiss some evidence she wanted, she
claimed to have person il business In Boone,
Ia.. leaving Welns here. He claimed to he
a secret agent cf the Associated Tress, but
mnde poor excuses for his penniless con
dition. A touching correspondence sprane
up between the two and ripened Into
promlsfs of marriage.
While she waa out of town Weiss was
stopping at charitable resorts, passing as
a penniless man. Going under the name
of Mrs. A." M. Roberts, the detective got the
desired letters and In answer to his re
quests for money told him she' was about
to return to him. In the meantime Curtis
hl been reached and returned to the city
I with her. Mrs. Roberts and the officers
took rooms at a private lodging house and
j laid a trap for Weiss. Sho hid the sheriff
and marshal and Curtis In an adjoining
room and at the proper time they broke the
door and found them locked In eitch oth
er's arms. They were arrested on the
charge of lewdness and the woman, with
her work done, left for Chicago. Weiss
went to Jail and later signified a desire to.
waive examination and was taken before
a Jusllo and bound over to the grand Jury.
Hla bonds were fixed at $200, which he can.
not give.
Weiss is a good looking Russian Jew.
and when arrested wae dressed very shab
bily. He only had 10 cents and this he had
borrowed. He had no other baggage, but
a lot of love letters and long lists of
women's names In different cities. It Is
believed that he has made a living by mar
rying women and leaving them, and he will
be looked up.
