CONVERSE IN MORE TROUBLE
Disbarred Attorney is Now Indicted on a
Ohargo of Forgery.
HIS QUEER DEALINGS ARE COMING OUT
.MnnlpulnMon of nil AlHilnvIt In tlic
Supreme Court Film lir IlnnU of
the I'rcHctitmeiit Upturned
by ( lie Crnnil Jury.
Charles H. Converse of Avoca , a former
well known member of the Pottawattumle ; |
county bar , has been Indicted by the district I
court grand Jury recently In session at Avoca
on the charge of forgery. The indictment is
n Bcauel to the proceedings brought before
Judge Smith In the district court here last
December and which resulted In the dis
barment of Converse. At that time three
charges were brought against Converse , j
The first was that he had procured and i
had assisted In procuring a fraudulent dlsI I
position , which ho Introduced In evidence
In a case brought against him by Mrs. Mar
garet Foote. The second charge was that he
had abstracted this deposition when it was
charged that It was fraudulent from the
flies In the office of the clerk of the district
court in Avoca. The third charge was that
ho had altered an affidavit made by Court
Reporter O. C. Gaston of Tabor before filing
It In connection with a case ho had before
the supreme court. It was on this last
charge that the grand Jury returned an in
dictment against him. Converse was placed
under arrest , but furnished ball In the sum
of $1,000 for his appearance In court.
The exact charge Is that Converse altered
nn affidavit made by Court Reporter Gaston
nnd which Converse presented to the su
preme court In the case of John T. Hnzen ,
sheriff , against Jacob Sleek , appealed from
the district court of Avoca. Converse's
client was defeated In the district court
and nn appeal was Intended , but the proper
steps were delayed until It became necessary
to make a showing In explanation of the
delay * In order to got the case filed with
the supreme court. This Converse , It Is
alleged , sought to do by getting an affidavit
from O. C. Gaston , court reporter for Judge
Thornell , before whom the case was tried ,
to the effect that the transcript In the case
had been ordered "In the spring , " but that
Gaston had been too busy to prepare It In
time.
time.Mr.
Mr. Gnston , when this affidavit , prepared
by Converse , was presented to him for his
signature , called attention to the fact that
the order for the transcript had been given
to him In Juno nnd ho refused to sign the
affidavit unless it was altered to conform
to the absolute facts In the case. Finally
a line was drawn through the words "In
the spring" and nbovo It was written
"June , " the erasure nnd addition being
made In Ink. It Is charged that when the
affidavit appeared In the supreme court the
Ink marks had been carefully scratched out ,
leaving it to read that the application for
the transcript was made In the spring In
stead of June. It was further charged that
the affidavit was later secured by Converse
from the supreme court nnd that ho then
erased the word "spring" and wrote In
again the word "June. "
The affidavit was produced In evidence at
the disbarment proceedings , but at the con
clusion of the hearing mysteriously disap
peared from the court filings and no trace
of It has since been gotten. At the time
It was openly charged that Converse or
some of his friends were responsible for Its
disappearance in order that it should not
be introduced In evidence against him in
case criminal proceedings should be
brought.
The disbarment of Converse was the first
In the history of the bar of this county
and attracted considerable attention
throughout the state at the time.

DES MOINES , Oct. 1. ( Special Telegram. )
The coel miners of DCS Molncs nnd the
DCS Molncs district will not go out on n
strike. They BO decided at n mass meeting
In Governor's square today. The organized
men served as a balancing power In the
conference nnd urged the careful survey of
the situation , which resulted In settling on
"no strike. " First a resolution was read
that this district stand by the resolution
of the Oskaloosa state convention which de
manded 80 cents for the summer and 90"
cents for the winter and ordering nil miners
which could not get this rate to quit work.
This was debated. Some of the more hot
headed miners were loud In denouncing
operators and wanted the resolution passed.
Finally a resolution was passed which en
dorsed the Oskaloosa resolution as to prices ,
but docs not make It binding on the miners ,
but urged that every mine make the best
agreement possible for the winter. H was
stated that several of the large mines had
agreed to pay the 90-cent rate this winter
while some smaller ones were paying 85
cents and would probably not Increase It
under any circumstances. Each mine com
mittee will see the respective operator or
manager nnd acting along with the other
men of that mlno will make such arrange
ments for the winter scale as will bo con
sidered the best possible. Over 4,000 miners
are Interested.

land lay In this county and has been In
litigation for fifteen or twenty years. On
October 21 , 1895 , as a result of this lltlga
tlon the supreme court of the United State. ,
decided that the railway was not entitled
to the land and It was opened up for settle
ment under United States homestead laws
For years the county has attempted t (
tax the land and the railway
company refused -
fused to pay taxes until September 12 , 1881
when a settlement was made between thi
county nnd the railway by the terms o ,
which the railway agreed to pay futun
tuxes If the county would cancel prlo
taxes. The county canceled prior taxes ana
for years the railway has paid the tax on
! the land. Now since the railway has lost
I the land they are sere on their bargain
I and want their money back , claiming tha

The ease against Prof. Herman Brucck

motion of the state. It is Impossible to fix
the crlmo on the orchestra leader and It was
PAINTED BLACK.
That would be a funny color for a residence , but you don't have
to use that color , We have others that will make your house shine
and change it from that old , dingy look to one of beauty and admira
tion , We have been telling you this for several years and the longer
you let it go the more it will cost you when you do paint. If you
don't keep your house well painted it becomes weather-beaten and
worn. We can furnish you paints so cheap that you cannot afford to
let your house go longer without a coat of paint , And our paints , the
ready mixed , are the best made. Don't forget that.
Pretty pictures are another thing we want to call your attention
to. Our art department is filled with them and after you have painted
your home it is necessary to look after the interior. Come in and
look around and let us show you what we have , If you want a pic
ture framed we can do that very reasonable , - Our workmen in the art
department are skilled mechanics and every thing done is warranted
to be satisfactory or you need not take it. That's what we call business.
