D. Wheeler Receives Letters Denouncing Him for Act; Believes Warmeest Friends Now Look Askance /at Him; ‘Scolded” at Public Meetings; Worried. The life of a judge is not always smooth. | A few weeks ago, District Judge O. Id. Wheeler In Council Bluffs sen tenced a youth, Jay Graham, to 25 years imprisonment for robbing n fill ing station man of $20 at the point of a revolver. The youth escaped from the train on which a deputy sheriff was taking him to the Anamosa reformatory. He Is free while Judge Wheeler suffers. The judge has received letters de nouncing him for imposing the drast ic sentence against the young con fessed robber. He thinks his warmest friends look askance at him. At social and public gatherings he has been taken aside and "scolded" for sending "this poor lad" to spend a quarter of a century In prison. Jay Graham has assumed the figure of a Hero In the public mind, an honest corn-shucker who stole only to get enough money to gb to his home in Missouri. The judge, who loves friends and has many of them, is worried. He has talked with them, showing that he had no choice hi the matter. The law says that "any person who, with force and violence, or by putting in fear or if armed with a dangerous weapon, shall take from the person of another any property, shall be im prisoned In the penitentiary for a term of 25 years." * Graham was captured quickly after he robbed Harry Jf’inney at the filling station. He promptly pleaded guilty. Judge Wheeler says it was his duty to impose the sentence and then it was "up to" the pardon board to take suitable action. MRS.

Drenching Rains Delay Spanish Fliers in Raids i Aviators Unable to Control Re bellious Territork; Attack ing Battalions Have Been Considerably Reduced. By AMBoHatrd Press. Tetua'ri, Morocco, IJec. 28-—Drench ing idfns during Christmas prevented the ’ Spanish aviators carrying out raids .over the territory where rebel lious Moorish troops have concen trated north of Tetuan. I.ni ge forces of Spaniards, stationed in Tetuan and vicinity since the retirement of the troops from Chectuaen, enjoyed a comparative tranquility. Battalions Reduced, The lutUallons have been consider ably reduced in numbers owing to the returns to Spain of soldiers who have served in Morocco. Other units have been sent back to the Melilla zone. A complete reorganization of the oc cupying forces is taking place under tlie supervision of Gen. Primo Rivera, the Spanish military dictator. Various battalions, which have been depleted, have been merged Into a single bat talion under the command of a ma jor, instead of a lieutenant colonel, as heretofore, thus leaving about a dozen of the latter officers free to re turn to the peninsula to take over other commands. Forts Abandoned. Behind the newly formed line stretching from Tetuan to Tangier, most of the former Spanish forts have been abandoned. This obviates the necessity of frequent convoys and leaves the flying columns under General Saro and Colonel Franco free to operate in the work of suppressing uprisings among the natives. The tribesmen at the present moment are showing a disposition to submit, al though several groups still maintain hostile activities in the neighborhood of Zoco-El-Telata. Around Tetuan and In the city It self, have gathered numbers of civil ian Spaniards who retired with the troops from Checbauen and other places In the south, where they were engaged In business and truck gar dening. Most of these hope that when the country is pacified they will be able to resume their various oc cupations. They assert that the Nlf fians and other tribes usually dis played a friendly attitude toward them, engaging freely In business transactions. Spaniards Become Rich. During their long sojourn in Mo rocco, many of the Spanish business men and truck gardeners became somewhat prosperous and lived eaaier lives than before they emigrated from Spain. At "the moment they are suf fering some privation becausa they have been deprived of their occupa tions. and some, who do not possess the means to return to Spain, are in a rather precarious situation. They fear that, even If they could return to the home country, they would not be able to find employment. '---' 1 Tracks of Dinosaur \ Discovered in Rocks in South Dakota Quarry -■> Vermillion, S. D., Dec. 16.—The di nosaur, tremendous, reptile-like ani mal, roamed over western South Da kota thousands of years ago, accord ing to W. H. Over, curator of the Uni versity of South Dakota museum, who bases his opinion on the appearance of fossil tracks of the dinosaur, which have been quarried out of hard sand rock in Chester county. The dinosaur was about 50 feet In length, of which two-thirds consisted of a long slim tail, which acted as a balance as the animal walked with its hind feet and used its small front feet only to feed itself. The hind toes had a spread of IS inches, it Is said, and the tracks were very much like those of a huge bird. As far as known, this Is the first evidence of this type of dinosaur found In this state, and It is hoped that fur ther research will reveal a skeleton burled In the same kind of rock for mation, which is known as “lower creslaceous." _-— NEW DELAY ASKED IN TRAM HEARING Special Dispatch to Tha'Omnha Dec.
