SKTMOl'R ISDICTED FOR SWIXDLF.R
Collects Money on Pretense of locat
ing Homesteaders.
The federal grand. Jury haa returned an
indictment against H. H. Seymour, charg
ing him with falsely representing himself
to be an agent employed by the government
to locate homesteads.
From the evidence submitted to the grand
Jury it appears that Seymour had collected
tti each from a number of farmers and old
soldiers In Montgomery county on the
representations that he was empowered by
the Interior department to locate home
steads for them in Woodbury county, east
of Sioux City, lfls scheme, it is said, was
to represent that the land oould be se
cured through military land warrants.
Seymour is said to be In the county Jail
at Red Oak awaiting the action of the
district grind Jury on u charge of obtain
ing money under false pretensions in con
nection with the same scheme for which
he was indicted by the federal grand Jury.
With the reporting of this indictment the
federal grand Jury completed Its work and
waa discharged. -
from Kentucky In the 2j.Ui0 breach of
promise suit against W. H. Kennedy, the
aged farmer of Montgomery county, had
rattier an uncomfortable day of It in fed
eral court yesterday and while under cross
examination was asked a number of pointed
questions which evidently somewhat em
barrassed her. On the whole the defense
seemingly scored heavily yesterday.
Miss Ferguson took the stand on her own
behalf yesterday afternoon and It was dur
ing her cross-examination that the de
fense got Its Innings. One of the first
questions put to the plaintiff by counsel
for the defense was:
"How many times have you been engaged
before?"
"Three times," answered Miss Ferguson,
after a slight hesitation.
'Well, with this one It makes four alto
gether?" suggested counsel.
Yes, four times," was the reply given
rather reluctantly.
How me.ny suits for breach of promise
have you prosecuted?" was the next ques
tion asked by the defendant's counsel.
"Only this one," was the reply.
"The others were settled, then?" queried
counsel.
"In some form," replied the fair plaintiff,
while the color mounted to her cheeks.
"Then you know what It meant when you
said In you letter to Mr. Kennedy that If
he wanted to be 'extricated' he knew what
was best to do?" was the next question
asked by counsel.
"I certainly knew what I was doing." was
the reply, which was given as if the fair
plaintiff meant it.
Plot are Shows Difference
During the cross-examination of Miss
Ferguson counsol for the defense intro
duced a number of letters written by the
plaintiff to Kennedy and the salient points
of these were read to the Jury with consld
erable emphasis by Attorney Genung.
Miss Ferguson on direct examination
gave her age as 35 and offered in evidence
photograph of Kennedy taken at the
time he visited her in Kentucky, which
showed that the defendant at that time
presented a very different appearance to
what he does In court. The picture showed
him clean shaved, dressed In a nobby suit
of clothes and a big diamond ring on his
finger. This la a striking contrast to his
present appearance, as he looks the typical
farmer, with his blue hickory shirt, and
white whiskers fringing his face. Miss
Ferguson stated that Kennedy's advertise
ment in the matrimonial Journal gave his
age as 45, whereas In fact he was at that
time 63 years of age.
Prior to Miss Ferguson giving her testi
mony the defendant was placed on the
stand by counsel for the plaintiff. He
appeared greatly embarrassed and exceed
ingly nervous and when asked the cause
of his extreme nervousness Kennedy re
plied, much to the amusement of every
one In the court room: "Judge Mitchell
(one of the attorneys for the plaintiff) told
me last night that when he got me on
the witness stand he would give me h 11."
Kennedy's testimony was to the effect that
Miss Ferguson had released him from the
engagement.
The plaintiff was etlll on the witness
stand when court adjourned for me any.
It Is understood that the defense will move
for a verdict at the close of the plaintiff s
evidence.
The court room was crowded all day and
Court Bailiff McFadden counted over eighty
women in the room at one time. The crowd
was augmented during the afternoon ses
sion by a number of high school girls, who
apparently listened with breathless inter
est to the reading of the plaintiff's letters.
During the day a number of women visited
the district court room, but on being In
formed by Bailiff Matlock that the breach
of promise suit was on trial In the federal
building hurriedly departed for the latter
place.

PEAT BRIQUETTES AS FUEL
Golden Dlea from Injuries.
Thomas W. Golden, who was crushed
beneath a switch engine In the Northwest
ern yards Thursday night, succumbed to
Ms injuries three hours after being taken
to Mercy hospital.
Golden, wlo was engine foreman of the
night switching crew, waa standing on the

strike the planks of the crossing. Golden
lost his balance and was thrown directly
In front of the engine. Both legs were
badly mangled from the knees down and
he received severe Injuries about the head.
At the hospital it was found necessary to
amputate both legs Just below the knee,
but Oolden failed to rally from the shock
of rhe amputation.
Oolden was a single nan and had been
In the employ of the Northwestern for
seven years. He boarded at the Metropol

Eastern Railroad Experimenting;
' with Compressed Mud aa a. Sub
stitute for Coal.
The possibility of utilization of millions
of tons of peat and the creation of a rival
to coal and water power as means of car
rying on the world's industries may be
completely demonstrated by processes now
in use in Lexington.
The Boston A Maine railroad is using
briquettes of peat in some of Its engines
on the shorter runs In and out of Boston.
and experiments with the new fuel have
been pronounced successful. This encour
ages many persons to believe that a pe
riod of new commercial possibilities is at
hand. Watching the operation of the en
gines that use the peat Is the Inventor
of the apparatus for preparing peat, who
believes that he is about to revolutionise
the conditions of manufacturing in districts
far from coal fields.
The story of peat is not new. The fuel
has been used for centuries In Europe.
In Its sclentlflec aspects It has been studied
for years in this city. But the results ob
tained at Lexington, Mass., are most not
able. The conditions there are like those of
thousands of places in America where
vegetable deposits which have accumulated
through ages Invite the scientist and the
promoter to the utilization of coal In a
primary process of formation. Beside the
southern division of the Boston A Maine
railroad and close to the Concord post
road Is a reedy swamp of about 100 acres,
a soggy mudhole such as may be found In
almost every county outside of the arid
portions of the United States. It Is, per
haps, a little less oozy and quaking than
some swamps.
In this swamp, According to the e.il
mates of engineers, is vegetable mold
enough to make fuel to supply all the rail
roads entering Boaton for 100 years
the present rate of consumption. It Is a
vast mine, even though the deposits lie
on the surface. The bog shows hardly
anywhere less than twelve feet of black
mud, and at places In the center borings
have gone down eighty feet before the
hard pan of clay subsoil was reached.
A little ditch full of clear water on one
side of the swamp represents all that has
been done by the taking out of a few
thousand tons. Incidentally it Indicates the
outcome of this kind of mining. The face
of the earth will not be disfigured. The
holes in the ground will simply add to
the number of the country's lakes.
The peat manufacturing plant at East
Lexington has as a chief feature a brl
quettlng house equipped with special ma
chinery Into which wet peat Is thrown and
emerges In the shape of pressed cylinders
with a hole running through the center.
They are compact and almost as hard as
coal after they have been dried under In
tense heat. A kiln for carbonizing Is under
construction.
The motive power department of the
Boston 'It Maine has for several weeks
been trying this fuel on shifting engines
and for short local runs. It has been found
that the peat briquettes make an excep
tionally hot fir and that the cost Is lass
than that of coal, while little smoke comes
from the smokestacks. The only disad
vantage that haa appeared is one that will
disappear If the use of the briquette be
comes universal. Peat fuel cannot be used
with coal in the same locomotive. One
kind of fuel must be employed or the other.
The peat briquettes hav not boen tried
yet for long railroad runs for the reason
that depots of supply would have to be
established along the route, since all
CRISWOLD MYSTERY DEEPENS
Mas Ftnnd in Hirer Thonzkt to Hare En
Dead for Two Wteki.
TWO INCHES SHORTER THAN GRISWOLD
Insurance Companies Active In Proving-
a Mistake Has Been Mnde and
that Grlswold Is Still Among
the Living.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
PES MOINES. Sept. 21 (Special.) Addi
tional evidence that the body taken from
the river here Is not that of George R.
Grlswold. the prominent insurance man
who Is missing, came to light today in
the statement of Trof. Kinney, state
chemist, who said the organs he has ex
amined for poison show that the body had
been dead fully two week. Grlswold was
last seen five days before the organs were
turned over to Prof. Kinney. This sensa
tional report gives support to the theory
of thoe who claim that Grlswold waa not
a victim of murder nor a suicide, but that
he Is still alive somewhere. The body taken
from the river three days after Orlswold a
disappearance was not Identified except by
Its clothing, as the features were un
recognizable. It Is now disclosed also that
the stature of the dead body was a couple
of Inches less than Griswold's. Grlswold
carried about $15,000 life Insurance and
$5,000 accident Insurance. Insurance com
panies are active, seeking to disprove the
murder or suicide theories.
Prof. Kinney reported today that there
was no poison of any kind In the organs
of the body or the contents of the stomach,
an examination of thlch he concluded to
day. The man who claims he saw Grlswold
fighting with two men who were trying to
secure his satchel is C. W. Owen, a man
who has been prominent here and who has
been in the county Jail serving a sentence
on conviction of swindling some banks.
Will Look to Legislature.
In a circular letter sent out by A. H.
Davison, secretary of the executive com
mittee, the ;ounty auditors are reading be
tween the llr.es that If they expect any
relief from the present methods of assess
ing telephone companies they must get
busy and seek to Influence the legislature.
At the last session of the legislature the
executive counclt directed Mr. Davison to
call the attention of the committees of
the senate and house to the clumsy method
of assessing telephone companies. The com
mittees refused aid. Now the county audi
tors are continually writing to the execu
tive council for relief and In a circular
letter Mr. Davison In substance tells them
to get busy after the legislature. The law
requires the executive council to assess all
telephone companies. The blanks are sent
out and have to be reported through the
county auditors. There are hundreds of
farmer party line telephones which do no
commercial business and the executive
council wanted these companies assessed
by the regular township assessors In their
counties. They do not average an assess
ment of $70, on which the tax paid to the
state would be 22 cents, which does not
pay the cost of making the assessment.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY
cendado, took our places in the brush and
began gazing up the river. Parting the
twigs and boughs as carefully as any pair
of dogs they began the search for signs of
ducks, while we rode along the psth at the
foot of the embankment looking for any
thing but ducks. Suddenly one of the creep
ing Indians stopped, drew backward out of
the bushes and silently slgnalle dus that
the ducks were Just ahead. The two
stealthily crept down the embankment and
seized our bridal reins. The hacendado or
dered me down and the Indians handed me
my gun. We took the places of the men in
the bushes and silently signalled us that
our shots. The hacendado got his duck. It
fell lnv the water, wounded. As it began
floundering toward the opposite bank he
signalled one of the Indians, and Into the
water the man went. No retriever knew
what was expected better than he. He half
swam and half waded to the side where the
duck waa waddling In the brush and
brought back to us the wounded bird.
"The next day we went rabbit shooting.
We were accompanied by another Indian.
It sounds a little crazy, but that old fellow
he was old actually seemed to trail rab
bits. He would discover the sign of one of
the animals and then, with head forward
and eyes watching the ground, he would
start a slgzag course that invariably wound
up at some clump of grass or brush from
which the animal was started. Occasionally
he would stop stock still beside a little
bunch of brush, for all the world like a set
ter dog, and quietly declare that there wag
a rabbit In It. Look as closely as we would
we could see no sign of rabbit, but as the
Indian tapped the brush out would run the

INDIANS AS HUMAN HOUNDS
Kew Side of the Sport of Skootlng
Eshlblted to Vlsltlngr Hunters
In Mexico.
Shooting over dogs Is nothing uncommon
to the ordinary American or the ordinary
Englishman, but that particular form of
sport is not common in Mexico. Recently
an Englishman spent a few days hunting
in the country and It waa left for a
hacendado to show him a new style of the
sport of shooting. He was introduced to
the human hounds. On those haciendas
where the owner occasionally goes hunting
the sport is not taken as seriously as it is
by those Anglo-Saxons. Tour average Mex
ican believes in getting enjoyment out of
his morning of shooting nnd he is reason
able enough to know that a fair propor
tion of this sport is lost if he tires himself
at i out as does the average man of the United
States or of England.
"It was ducks we were going after that
morning," said the man In telling the
story of the human hounds. "Breakfasted
a lltlte earlier than usual, but no hurry
was indulged in after that meet. After all
one doesn't add to the enjoyment of the
day by bolting a hurriedly gotten break

ready to start hunting a roadster with a
deputation for some speed was driven up
and in the smart rig the animal drew we
were driven down the road. It was only a
mile, but there waa no use walking when
we could ride. Arriving at the river where
the ducks were expected to be, the hacen
dado raised his hand and out of the grass
there came from somewhere a peon who
took charge of the horse.
"We began to hunt. For a time there
waa nothing about the proceeding that was
different from what one undergoes in the
name ot sport in the United Slates. We
crawled through the overhanging bushes
looking for the ducks. Occasionally they
were found, and then we took our shots
and picked up our own ducks when we
got any. We did this tor about half an

sure. In the conectlon were any number
of worn and soiled collars, cuffs and shirt
bosoms, not to speak of old socks, garters
and even several pairs of shoes.
The proper postage had been prepaid on
everything the cuffs, collars and shirt bos
oms bearing stamps and addresses, the
socks, garters and shoes being attached to
tags inscribed with destinations.
"There is no doubt the postofflre receipt
are increasing everywhere because ot this
popular custom of sending oddities through
the mall," said another, clerk in the same
department, "but I wonder where It's going
to end. The government will accept In the
mall anything ' not over four pounds In
weight. Why, the other day we found a
set of false teeth merely attached to a
tag and addressed to a woman in Oerman

Million Soap llubblea an Hour.
If each boy and girl In the United States
should make a soap bubble some day, the
combined number would hardly exceed that
produced every day this summer at the
Lewis and Clark exposition by a big ma
chine on exhibition In the Palace of Manu

tries. The soap bubble machine Is a double
decked contrivance, consisting of two beau
tifully decorated procelaln bowls of suds,
one above the other, surmounted by a plas
ter fairy. The suds Is made very strong.
The bubbles are produced by forcing air
Into the soapy water. A constant flow of
air Is maintained through pipes, and the
bubbles constantly rise and tall In the
basins, making a most beautiful effect.
The capacity of the bubble fountain, whloh
Is the largest ever made, is 17,600 bubbles
per minute. This means 1,061,000 per hour,
or t. 604. 000 during a nine-hour working day.
Three-fourths of a pound of soap Is suffi
cient to supply the fountain for two days,
making a total of 19.0u6.000 bubbles. Wash
