WHEELS CRUSH OUT LIFE
William Probstle Killed While Try
in? to Cross Broadway.
CAR CEEW PLACED UNI EE BONDS
Story of Bye Witness Seems to ladU
rate Motorman Attempted to Stop
Ills Cor, bat Was I aable
to Do So.
William PrnbMle. a harness maker of this
city, was crushed to death Saturday un
der the wheels of a Fifth avenue and Fair
mount park motor on Broadway Just east
of the east croaslng at Main street. Prob
stle was crossing Broadway from the south
to the north side when struck by the motor.
His body was almost cut In two and death
was Instantaneous.
Frank Bmlth, the motorman, and P. A.
Peterson, conductor, of the car were placed
under arrest but later released on bonds In
the sum of $2,000 each and Probstle's body
was, on orders of Cornocr Treynor, re
moved to Cutler's undertaking rooms. Al
though the tlmo had not been ret last
night, an Inquest probably will be held
Monday morning.
Whether Probstle slipped and fell In front
of the car In attempting to get out of Its
way or whether he did not see the car,
which was approaching from the east, Is a
matter of conjecture. Eye witnesses to the
accident state that Probstle was crossing
from the south side of Broadway to the
north. He started to take the crossing In
front of Sargent's shoe store, but half
way acresa left the crossing and veered to
the west aa If to make the sidewalk near
Main street when the car struck him.-
Fred Frasler, employed at the Manhattan
restaurant, almost !n front of which tho
accident happened, and Henry Langmade,
living at 739 West Broadway, who witnessed
the accident, said the motorman rang hla
bell and applied sand before he reached the
crossing In front of Sargent's store, but as
the rails were wet and slippery, evidently
could not stop the car In time to avoid
striking Probstle. Both of these eye wit
nesses said they thought Probstle was car
ried a few feet on the fender before he
rolled off and under the wheels.
Acting under 'Instructions from officials of
the street railway company, Motorman
Smith and Conductor Peterson declined to
make any statements last evening.
William Probstle had been a resident of
Counpll Bluffs for over thirty years. It Is
said, and was commonly known as "Dutch
Bill." He made his home with his widowed
sister-in-law, Mrs. Pauline Probstle, on
North avenue. For several years he had
been employed by the Wlckhams as harness
maker for their railroad construction camps.
His mother, Mrs. Kolaps, is said to live In
St. Joseph, Mo. Probstle, who was single,
was about GO years of age.. A number of
years ago Probstle and his brother con
ducted a harness, shop on West Broadway.
STKVEN9 IS AGAIX COXVICTED
One Juryman lianas Oat t'ntll the
Early Morslnf.
For the second time Roy M. Stevens,
the linotype machinist, has been found
guilty by a Jury In the district court of
attempting to criminally assault 11-year-old
Christina Chrlstensen, daughter of C. J.
Chrlstensen, 158 Ridge street, on the night
of June 17, 1907. The Jury, which went
out ' yesterday evening shortly before
o'clock, brought In a verdict of guilty as
charged a little before 3 o'clock yesterday
morning.
It was stated that the Jury was delayed
In returning a verdict by one Juror, who
finally voted for conviction. The defense
will have twenty days In which to file a
motion for a new trial. At the first trial
Stevens was found guilty by the Jury
after a comparatively brief deliberation,
but was granted a new trial on the grounds
that the court erred In falling to Instruct
the jury that It could If It deemed the
evidence warranted it, bring In a verdict
of simple assault.
As the crime of which Stevens has been
convicted was committed before the date
of enforcement of the Indeterminate sen
tence law, he will be sentenced to a definite
term. The maximum punishment for this
crime Is twenty years Imprisonment In the
penitentiary.
There Is another indictment hanging over
Stevens, In which he Is charged with en
ticing away a 10-year-old girl. The second
offense Is alleged to have been committed
exactly one month from the date of tho
attack on the little Chrlstensen girl.
The case of W. P. Jackson, Marlon
Hedgepeth'a alleged- accomplice In the
blowing of tha Council Bluffs Transfer
and Stove Storage company's safe, was
assigned for trial following the Stevens
case, but aa Judge Macy has to hold court
In Harlan this week, it will now probably
follow the Weber-Rock Island railway
caaa In Judge Thornell's court.

RO RESOLt'TIO.S THIS MEETING
Hamilton Connty Republicans Are
Anxious for nVsplte.
WEBSTER CITT, la., Feb. 1. (Special.)
Tho Hamilton county republican conven
tion to be hrld In this city Tuesday will
adopt no resolutions. This decision has
been arrived at by the politicians In defer
ence to the fact that the people will express
their sentiments on all candidates at the
primaries on June 2, snd also because quite
a row would be stirred up, which would
result In much 111 feeling, were any attempt
made to pass resolutions for Governor
Cummins or Congressman Conner. While
Cummins would win on a fight of the kind
here Conner would have difficulty, and
the matter would open up a larpe field of
action which In the end would be beneficial
to neither faction of the republican party
In Hamilton county.
For sheriff there are four candidates, II.
I. Thompson, the present Incumbent; C. H.
Brown, his former deputy; W. H. Cunning
ham of this city, and George R. Strever,
also of this city.
For clerk J. C. Sterling of Independence
township Is at present the only avowed
candidate. Friends of the present clerk,
Frank J. I,und, however, aro urging him
hard to become a candidate.
For treasurer there are two avowed
candidates and two possibilities. J. E. Sog
ard, cashier of the Stanhope State bank,
and Att Alexander, cashier of the Jewell
First National bank, have both announced.
The present Incumbent, P. J. Brandrup,
and his efficient deputy, Frank Hamilton,
are prospective candidates.
For auditor no candidates have an
nounced. It Is known, however, that J. A.
Stover, present deputy auditor, will be a
candidate. J. E. Peterson, second deputy,
may run, too, while Auditor Cragwlck's
many friends are bringing much pressure
upon him to again stand as a candidate
for the office.
Prof. J. M. Holadey. county superintend
ent; Miss D. J. Hunt, recorder; J. N. Iliff.
surveyor, and J. D. Porter, county attor
ney, who are serving their first terms, will
probably have no opposition. At least none
has thus far developed.
The coming campaign will be one of the
hottest contests ever held In the county.
While It Is early to foretell, It not
thought likely that any nominations will go
Into the convention. In the event of more
candidates coming out, however, nothing
can be told as to this. With five1 months
intervening between now and June 2 the
probability that more will be out Is good.

ment from himself.

Inquest Set for Monday.
CLINTON, la., Feb. 16. (Special.)-The
Inquest for the Taylor murder case has
been set for Monday, It being held advisable
that the authorities collect as much evi
dence as possible before the Inquest. No
new developments have occurred further
than tha turning of a 32-callber revolver
over to tha authorities by the older Taylor
boy, which he claimed had been hidden at
home to keep It from the younger brother.
The young man waa very reluctant to hand
over the weapon and not until he had been
put through a severe examination would he
produce the revolver. It is expected the
Investigation will bring out more clearly the
mystery now hanging over the case.

In rbyatelan Skot
In Chest.
DES MOINE8. Ia., Feb. 16. M. E. Davis,
a ;ugglat, last night attempted to murder
his wife, and later, fatally shot City
Physician James E. Miller, who went with
the police to tho Davis home to attend tha
Injured woman. Mrs. Davis was shot In
tho leg and the wound Is not very serious.
Dr. Miller was ' shot with a rifle ball
through the lungs, and the chances for his
recovery are slight.
Davis, who had ,been drinking heavily,
attacked his wife with a rifle. He leveled
It point blank at her, but a neighbor woman
who was present, grabbed the weapon and
turned It downward, so that tha ball struck
Mrs. Davis In the leg. Davis retired to
the upper rooms, barricading himself there,
while the neighbors turned in an alarm.
Mr. Miller came with the police to take care
of the Injured woman, and aa he stepped
into the door-yard of the Davis home, a
single shot was fired by" Davis from an
upstairs' window, ihe bullet hitting Mr.
Miller In the chest and tearing Its way
through his lungs: For a time Davis de
fended himself In his barricaded room.but
finally surrendered.
Dr. Miller was taken to the hospital,
where he assisted the surgeons In diagnos
ing his own condition and In locating the
bullet, refusing an anaesthetic for the
operation. Dr. Miller himself, expressed
the opinion that It would be Impossible for
him to live and did It with professional
calmness, that llttlo suggested that he was
pronouncing his own death sentence.
Women Cannot Vote.
A determined effort on the part of a few
women of Des Moines to establish the right
of women to vote at municipal elections,
especially on matters affecting borrowing
money, ended In failure In the state courts
today. Suit was brought In the name of
the Political Equality club of Iowa to en
Join the city of Des Moines from thri erec
tion of a new city hall, on the ground that
women were denied the right to vote oil the
proposition. As a matter of fact, three
women sought to vote at tha election the
tima the proposal was submitted and they
were refused. They had not been registered
and it 'was found there was no provision
for registering them. But they claimed that
the vote to bond the city was Illegal because
of this fact. In the state courts this matter
was presented and the court decided ,ad
verely to the women. The real merits of
the caae were hardly reached, since It waa
decided that Inasmuch as only three women
offered to vote, their denial at tha polls
did not affect the result In any way. The
court refused to pass on the weakness of
the law In not providing for registration of
women for such elections or providing that
they may vote without registering.
The suit Involved the erection of a city
hall at an expento of $500,000. Work
haa already commenced upon the project.
J n dare Geta Increase of Pay.
Justice S. M. Weaver of the supremo
court, by reason of An opinion of Attor
ney General By era' rendered today, will
get $6,000 a year Hintead of $4,000 a year
as before. A question arose aa to whether
he was entitled to the raise which hud
been made by the legislature, the ques
tion being as to when he was elected to
a new term. The attorney general held
that he is entitled to the raise In pay
to the same rate as the other Judges.

TAFT SPEARS IN HAM FORD
Secretary of "War Discusses Issues of
tit) Campaign.
WORK OF TWO rBXSTDEJrn
rollrles of MrKlaley and Roose
velt and Relations of Capital
and Lahr Are Con
sidered. HARTFORD, Conn., Feb IS. -Secretary
Taft played a dual role In the 1 on rue uf
his visit Saturday afternoon and last even
ing. A few minutes after he reached the
city he addressed a big gathering at ilia
Foot Guards' hall and later he i I'ao
gues of honor at the annual dinner of
the Hartford-Tale Alumni association.
At both gatherings he was given a lous
ing welcome. In his Foot Guu:d hall
speech the policies presented by the late
President McKlnley and those of tiio
Roosevelt administration, together with
some newer Issues, formed tne basis of
his address. Secretary Taft indorsed all
of the bigger Issues of these adinini.slia
tlons. Including expansion, on which lid
spoke somewhat at length. He also dis
cussed quite emphatically the relations of
capital and labor, stating that If capital
found It desirable to organise fur the pro
tection of its Interests, labor had an
equal right to do the same, but that vio
lations of law by labor would be punished
Just as certainly aa the misdeeds of capi
tal: He also discussed the Panama canal,
predicting Its completion In five years.
Isaaes of Campaign.
Secretary Taft referred to the policy
likely to characterise the presidential
campaign and placed them under two
heads, the policy of tho McKlnley admin
istration and the policies of the Roose
velt administration. The policies of the
former, he said, might be placed under
the term expansion, which policies did
not cease when President Roosevelt begun
his administration. He said that the dem
ocrats predicted that if Roosevelt were
elected the country would be Involved In
more wars than ever before, but Instead
President Rootevelt was Instrumental in
stopping one of the biggest wars In re
cent years. Ho characterized him as one
of the greatest exponents of peace in the
world's history. In discussing railroad
measures and the legislation enacted re
garding them. Secretary Taft said that If
any of the railroad presidents were In
terviewed today, down deep In their secret
hearts they would say that they were glad
of what happened, because they are now
able to hold up their heads, something
some of them could not do before.
Capital and Labor.
An Interruption occurred at this point,
when a man In tha audience asked about
the (29,000,000 fine against the Standard Oil
company, but the speaker turned the ques
tion oft with an anecdote. The secretary
took the Issue of labor unionism, and con
ceded the right of the worklngman to
organise for hla own protection. He said
that on all but one point the question
of wages the laboring man and capitalist
were practically agreed. Both know that
It Is necersary to have capital and capital
should have a suitable return, but there
will always be a conflict on the matter of
wages. It Is necessary for the laboring
man to provide a common fund If a strike
bo necessary.
Secretary Taft referred to the abuse
practiced by fiduciary corporations, by
which funds are diverted from the ward
to the trustee.
. Tha disclosures, ha said, shook the pub
lic. There was a great moral awakening
all over the country. Ha praised the em
ployers' liability bill, and at the conclusion
of his speech waa loudly applauded.
