Swantion Gives Up $1.50 and Keeps a Boll of Larger Denomination. SECURES HELP AND GIVES PURSUIT Both Illah waynien and Swanson Prove to lie Poor Marksmen In Shooting; Match Which Follows. W. A. Swanson, a well-to-do farmer of Honey Creek, had a thrilling experience with two highwaymen while driving home from Council Bluffs last evening. Although he had a large sum of money on his per son, SwanBon satisfied the demands of the road agents by handing out $1.50 on the pretext that this was all the money be had with him. From the nervous manner of the two fellows Swanson Is satisfied they were amateurs at the business. He was able to give the police a good descrip tion of the two men, as they were not dis guised In any way. Swanson was driving home In his cutter and he reached a point on the Crescent City road Just the other side of Krettek's saloon, when two fellows sprang Into the middle of the road. One seized the bridles of the horses, while the other placed a revolver at Swanson's head, ordering him to hold up his hands. "They're up," exclaimed Swanson as soon as be could catch his breath. The words bad barely left his lips when the revolver In the hands of the highwayman was dis charged and the bullet whistles by, within an Inch of Swanson's ear. "Hold on there. Don't be In such a hurry with that gun; you can have my money," shouted Swanson. "Well, how much have you got? Hand It out," answered the fellow with the gun. Swanson said he had only $1.50 In silver, and handed It over to the fellow, who made no attempt to go through his pockets. As it waa, Swanson had upward of $100 on him. The fellows then told him to keep on his way and not attempt to turn back. Swanson did as he was ordered until he met a young fellow named Abel, to whom he told about the holdup. With Abel ho drove to the latter's home nearby and there secured a shotgun. Thus armed, Swanson, accompanied by Abel and another young fellow, drove back In puriult of the high waymen whom they overtook near Ander son's brickyard on the outskirts of the city.. The fellows, perceiving they were pur sued, stopped and ..both emptied the con tents of their revolvers at the occupants of the cutter, ' but their marksmanship was poor. Swanson, at the first outset of the fusillade Jumped from the cutter with the shotgun and opened fire on the fellows, but failed to hit them. Seeing that their pur suers were armed the highwaymen took to their heels and Jumped the fence and were soon lost to sight in the brick yard. Swanson then drove on Into town and reported the matter to the police, giving them an ample description of his assail ants, both of whom were young reuowa, an(j evidently amateurs In the road agent CHARLES E.

AWARDS BOY TO HIS AUNT Jo dee Considers Solely the Fatore Welfare of the Child In Mak ing Itnllns;. After a hearing lasting nrar'ry the en tire day Judge Macy In the district court yesterday decided the habeas comus pro ceedings over Edwin Hubbard, the 11-vear-old son of Henry F. Hubbard of this cltv. who died last Sunday, In favor of the lad's aunt, Mrs. Lillian M. Balfour of Chatta nooga, Tenn. In arriving at this decision Judge Macy explained that he gave the custody of the lad to the aunt and uncle believing that the boy's future welfare de manded it as Mr. and Mrs. Balfour were far better able to provide for blm than his step-mother was or would be. ' At the same time Judge Macy took th? oooor tunlty to pay a high tribute to Mrs. Hub bard and expressed the opinion that while she might feel the loss of the boy whom she had come to regard as her own. she would realize that It was for the bjv's good. Under the order of the court Mr. and Mrs. Balfour will be required to legally adopt young Hubbard and this thev stated they were not only w1 M-g to do, but would make him equal with their daugh ter to their esta'e. The evidence befire the court showed that Mr. Balfour is a well-to-do merchant of Chattanooara. The court room was crowded during the hear- I ing with relatives cf the family and thi scene when the court handed down his , aecision was most anectlng, the women In particular being unable to restrain their emotions.

GENERAL BOOTH VISITS DES MOINES Annual Examinations by Experts of State Official Accounts Now Being; Made In Compliance with Law. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Dec. 6. (Special.) The ca.se of County Clerk Tate against R. P. Clarkson for libel was given to the Jury this morniug, after a trial lasting all week.

The case has attracted a great deal of attention, especially in political circles, as It was the outgrowth of a bitter polit ical fight. In the argument of tbe case ail the political controversies were gone over and the attorneys freely criticised public men snd newspapers.
