Azel Bunderson, who was robbed of $240
In an Omaha lodging hogs Sunday night,
and for which robbery two men, giving the
names of Frank Wilson and George Parker,
were arrested In this city may experience
some difficulty in recovering bis wealth.
Wilson and Parker were arrested at the
Illinois Central depot about t o'clock In
the morning a few minutes after making
the trip from Omaha In a hack. They had
in their possession $238, after paying the
hackman $3. They refused to return with
out requisition papers.
Ytsterday they employed Attorneys Lindt
aV Mynster to defend them, an Information
charging them with bringing stolen prop
erty in the state having been filed against
them In the court of Justloe Bryant. They
made an assignment of the money found on
them- to the attorneys, $50 to Lindt and
the balance $186 to Mynster. Attorney
Lindt lost no time In securing from Jus
tice Bryant an order directed to Chief of
Police Tlbblts to turn over the money to
him. Chief Tlbblts was on the point of
complying with the order when Assistant
County Attorney Kimball Interposed. The
facts were explained to Justice Bryant, and
he told the police to hold on to the money.
Later Attorney Lindt went again before
Justice Bryant and the latter again or
dored that the money be turned over to
the attorneys. Chief Tlbblts declined to
comply with the order, and finally the mat
ter was settled for the time being by Jus
tice Bryant fixing Saturday for the hearing
as to the ownership of the money.
The men arrested say they earned it
working on the Great Western grade, and
unless Bunderson can actually prove that
cash found on Wilson and Parker Is his
property, he will have. It Is said, difficulty
in recovering It, and that the prospects
for the attorneys getting the wad of bills
are fairly bright.

IOWA WEATHER AND CROPS
Vagaries of the Climate Bother Offiolal
Estimator Very JfncL
SUDDEN TURN DISCOUNTS THE BULLETIN
Longed-For Hot Weather Comes with
Vnespected Rash and Pats New
Phase on Crop Sit
uation. (From a Staff Corrsspondent.)
DES MOINES, June 10. (Special.) The
vagaries of Iowa weather at this time keeps
the crop estimators guessing. This morn
ing the thermometer took a sharp upturn
and by noon waa at 90 degrees. Two days
ago there waa actual danger of frost In
this part of Iowa. The crop bureau has
been compelled to admit that conditions are
becoming very bad for the farmers in Iowa.
The report for last week. Issued this morn
ing, makes the following statement of the
situation:
The past week was sllsrhtly warmer than
the average, and in all districts except the
northwest there was an excess of rainfall,
amounting to heavy downpours and dam
aging floods In extensive areas.
Following are among the heaviest
amounts reported: Clarlnda, 6.S0 Inches;
Bedford, 606; Vllllaca, 3.45; Albla, 332;
Charlton, $.18; Council Bluffs, 2.92; Carroll,
4.65; Mount Vernon, 4.95: Jefferson, 4.10;
Grlnnell, 4.01; Newton, 3.01: Elkader. 4.93.
At Clarlnda. on the 6th, 4 89 Inches fell in
about an hour and a half. Such storms
were necessarily damaging to crops on
slopes and bottoms, and in the cornfields of
the submerged districts the area of well
nigh total destruction must be very large.
Me have no means of estimating the full
extent of damage.
In the northwest there Is still pressing
need of rain, while the larger part of the
state needs dry, clear weather. The oat
crop Is becoming bulky In many localities.
Grasa Is doing notably well, both In
meadows and pastures.
The turn of the weather toward summer
conditions this morning, however, augurs
better for the crops, for the weather has
been entirely too cold for some time. A
growing period at this .time will Improve
the prospect for Iowa crops.
Water and Light Company Balks.
.Valley Junction, the railroad town Just
outside of Des Moines on the Rock Island,
Is In darkness and has no water to drink.
The water and light company has gone on
a strike and refuses to do business. The
city and the' company have had trouble
before and the company asked for an
amended ordinance permitting It to Increase
the charges and place the consumption of
water on a meter basis In residences. No
compromise with the council haa been pos

Had Threatened to Do Mnrder.
It was discovered today that Samuel
Rowan, who last night stabbed and killed
George Glenn in a quarrel In the "Whlte
chapel" district of Des Moines, had made
threats against Glenn and Intimated that he
would get htm out of the way. The mur
der was done as the aequel of a long, hard
fight, which had been preceded by a series
of quarrels concerning one of the women
of the district. Both of the men had rooms
near where the murder was committed and
both were of disreputable character. The
woman over which the quarrel took place,
one Lizzie Kllburn, may be implicated In
the crime. Inasmuch as she Is reported to
have said that she would soon be rid of
Glenn, who was murdered.
Will Be Six Executions.
Six persons are In the state peniten
tiaries of Iowa at the present time awaiting
execution, and there seems to be no prob
ability that any one of the half dozen will
escape the gallows. All will be hanged
within a year from thla time, the first
next December. The hangings will all take
place at the penitentiaries. Governor Cum
mins has not been asked to interfere In a
single one of the cases and he will not
act on his owa motion, hence there Is
nothing for the wardens to do but prepare
for the executions. The condemned per
sona are Albert G. Phillips, colored,' and
Lewis Brooks, from Buena Vista county,
murder after bank robbery; Chester Tyler,
colored, from Jasper county, murder of a
doctor; Dick Williams, from Mahaska
county, murder In a saloon quarrel at
Bussey; Harry Hortman, from Cherokee
county, wbo killed a girl, and Louis. Busse
of Bremer county, who murdered his wife
and tried to burn the body.

May Have Clae to Marder.
In the arrest of a crazy negro giving
his name as "Pat Carter," who Is now in
Jail at Albla, the police hope that the
much-desired clue to the murder of the
Peterson children has been obtained.
Carter was arrested last evening. He
followed Mrs. Albert Petty from the busi
ness part of Albla to her home, entered the
yard after her and followed her back to the
woodshed. Mr. Petty happened to be at
home a the time and Interfered, or there
la no telling what would have happened.
He notified the police and had Carter ar
rested. Carter explained to the police that be
waa forced to follow Mrs. Petty by some
strange Impulse. He was manifestly out
of his head and kept mumbling to himself:
"It was a ahame to kill those children."
He repeated It over and over. The police
think the worry over the crime unbalanced
his mind and officers went to Albla st 8:15
this afternoon to see Carter.
Carter gave his address as Des Moines.
He is described as a black, burly negro,
five feet eight Inches tall and weighing 165
pounds.
