Owners of land along the Willow creek
ditch, one of the three drainage ditches
constructed Jointly by Pottawattamie and
Harrison counties, are anxious that the
ditch be completed by opening It Into the
Boycr cut-off, by which its waters will bo
carried to the Missouri river. Yesterday a
protest against further delay, signed by
nlno of the lund owners Interested, was
filed with County Auditor Cheyne. The pro
test Is addressed to the Board of Super
Visors of Pottawattamie county and will be
presented at the next meeting of the iolnt
drainage board. The protestants threaten,
that If the work Is nut completed at one,
they will bring an action to compel the
supervisors to have the work finished and
the ditch opened Into Boyer cut-off without
further delay.
The Willow creek ditch is completed, but
has not been opened Into the Boyer cut-off
for fear of flooding the lower portion of
the drainage system. Mr. Cheyne stated
yesterday that he had been advised that
work on the Boyer cut-off will have suffi

of connecting the Willow creek ditch with

NEWS OF IOWA

ROBBERS FAIL TO GET REVOLVERS
Neatly Cot Hole In Window, bat
Watchman Appears.
Thieves attempted Wednesday night to
rob tho Main street show window of the
hardware riennrtmnnt nf Pot.pun '
Schoenlng's store by cutting a hole In the
window with a diamond. They succeeded
In cutting the hole, but the noise of break
ing In the giass attracted Night Watchman
Martin, who frustrated the robbery.
The hole was cut In the window directly
In front of a show stand containing atjout
two doxen expensive revolvers and it was
evident the thieves were after these.
When Watchman Martin heard the noise
of the breaking glass he rushed to the
door and reached the street In time to
Intercept one of two men who was standing
close to the broken window. Martin at
once covered the fellow with his revolver.
"Iion't shoot," tald the man, "It was an
accident. A fellow threw a brick at ma
and It hit the window. There he goes down
the street. I'll help you catch him."
The fellow as he said this moved aside
from the window, disclosing the hole In
the glass, and this distracting Martin's at
tention for a second, the fellow started on
the run as If in pursuit of the fleeing man.
Not suspecting that a robbery had been
attempted, Martin made no attempt to
follow the two men, but a second look at
the window shewed him such, however,
was the case. Investigation showed a big
circular hole had been neatly cut, evi
dently with a diamond. By tho time that
Martin had discovered this fact the two
men were out of sight.
The description given of the man Watch
man Martin Intercepted but lost again
answers that of a stranger who was in the
store during Wednesday afternoon looking
at some revolvers, but without purchasing.
Thieves attempted to break Into the sa
loon of William Pfaff on South Main street
Wednesday night, but evidently were
frightened away before they could effect
an entrance. They broke one of the rear
windows and succeeded In raising ths latch,
but this Is as far as they got.
Roy Stelnbaugh, a young man, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon charged with
breaking tnd entering the store of P.arney
GtllnsLI, the commission man on Broad
way, and stealing a case of oranges.
Stelnbaugh is said to have secured an en
trance by breaking In a rear window.

COXPLE DETERMINED TO WED
Come Bark the Second Time to Secure
av License.
Nothing daunted at being refused a mar
riage license here about two weeks ago
because of their decidedly youthful appep.r
ance, Harry Sbeeks of Dodge, Neb., and
Pearl Allen of North Bend, Neb., put In
an appearance again yesterday at the office
of the clerk of the district court with a
request that they be lsaued a license to
wed. On tho former occasion Sheeks and
the young girl whom he wished to make
his bride were alone, but yesterday they
were accompanied by a young man, who
was willing to testify that the couple were
of lawful age. '
"What is your name?" inquired Deputy
Clerk Hardesty of the young man who was
willing to assert that ' Sheeks and Miss
Allen were of legal age.
"Sam Jones of Schuyler. Neb.," replied
the young- man after carefully pondering
over the question.
Mr. Jones' willingness, however, to
testify as to the ages of his young friends
did not satisfy Deputy Hardy-sty, in view
of the fact that the couple dtd not look
any older than they did when they applied
for a license two weeks ago, and the skirts
of the would-be bride had not lengthened
any In the interval, hut were still only a
few Inches below her knees.
Young Sheeks, who gave his age as 22
and that of his would-be bride as 18, was
most anxious to secure the license, hut
Mr. Hardesty was obdurate and the certifi
cate was not forthcoming.
On their prior visit to the clerk's office
young Sheeks Informed Mr. Hardesty that
they could have been married at home, but
being In Council Bluffs to purchase their
housekeeping goods, they thought it would
be as well to be matTled here. When told
they were evidently too young. Sheeks re
plied, "Well, we can go to Omaha and have
the job done there." Their second visit In
quest of a license led Mr. Hardesty to
Infer that they had failed to secure a
license across the river.
Teachers' Institute In August.
IS. R. Jackson, county superintendent of
schools, announced yesterday that he had
decided to call the Pottawattamie county
normal Institute for the last week in Au
gust, Instead of In June, as has been the
custom heretofore.
Mr. Jackson is of the opinion that the
teachers will enter Into the work with more
enthusiasm just before they take, up their
duties at the opening of the new school
year than when they are tired out with
the year's steady work In tho school room

Though four shots were fired by Hasklns
from a shotgun and the officers made free

Finally a shell stuck in Hasklns' gun and
the officers, rushing In, beat him Into In

Hasklns was taken to the city jail, where
he was revived and his wounds attended to
by City Physician Rice.
The officers had a warrant for Hasklns,
charging him with disturbing the peace,

Quest May Br rn Vain.
BOO.NK. Ia., Feb. 2X. (Special.) Some
time ago the newspapers of this part of
tho country contained accounts of the ef
forts of Mrs. Martin of Ohio to locate her
missing son, Oscar Martin, aged 60 yean.
The mother, now nearly 90 years o'.d,
heard that her boy was somewhere in Iow.i
nd possibly near Boone. She Journeyed
to this city to bring the news of the fam
ily's forgiveness and of the Inheritance of
a fortune left by the man's father. Sj far
he cannot be located. He left home over
a quarter of a century ago and nothing
can be found out about hlin. Today a local
newspaperman received a letter from Albert
Barnes of Ottumwa, telling of the dcatii
of a man at the Soldiers' home ten y?a-
ago by the name of Oscar Martin, and
Barnes thinks that If the mother will in

the same person. Mrs. Martin will look
Into the matter and write t Commandant

CUMMINS WINNER IN POLK
Standpatters Make Little or No Effort
to Carry Governor's Home.
TAFT NOT AN ISSUE IN FIGHT
Minneapolis A St. I.onls Road Con
cedes Contention of Des Moines In
Contest Over Freight Hate
Discrimination.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Feb. 28. (Special.) But
for skirmishes In a few precincts between
the standpatters and the progressives the
caucuses In this county yesterday wera
not noteworthy. The Cummins men had
lists of delegates In every precinct In the
county. The standpatters had lists In
sixteen of the twenty-nine c'.ly precincts.
They elected their delegates In four of
these precincts and elected a few other
scattering delegates. The Cummins men
elected all the other delegates and will
control the county convention beyond any
possibility of doubt. Of the 214 delegates
to the county convention there will be
t 150 that are Cummins men or progres
sives. In only one precinct In the city were
resolutions offered and that was In the
Third precinct of the First ward, where
resolutions Indorsing Governor Cummins
for United States senator were .adopted.
In one precinct, the Second precinct of
the Third ward, there was a vote taken
on presidential preference. The vote In
the precinct was 34 to 18 and was lu
favor of the standpatters. The vota 011
presidential preference was: Hughes, 12;
Roosevelt, 7; Foraker, 6; Taft, i. Prlnttd
ballots with the names of the four presi
dential candidates were circulated In that
precinct only.
The (rogressives headed their lists of
delegates to the county convention "Taft
Progresslve." The standpatters, where
they had lists, headed them "nepubllcan."
While the friends of Senator Allison wero
more or less active during the day, the
caucuses are not considered as having any
bearing particularly 011 the senatorial
fight. Furthermore, the standpatters pro
fess to be for Taft for president, so there
is no particular bearing on the presi
dential contest.
The Importance of the caucuses lies In
the fact that there will be no standpat
ters from this county to the state con
vention. Hon. I.afe Young has been men
tioned for one of the delegates-at-!arge
to the national convention. Tho action
of the caucuses here probably ends hi
chances In that direction and makes It
more than probable that either Harvey
Ingham of the Register and Leader or At
torney Howard Clark will be the Polk
county delegate from the Seventh dis
trict. Dea Moines Wins One.'
In the hearings before the Interstate
Commerce commission here today It de
veloped that one of the suits started by
the city Is to be won out of court. The
commission today called the case of the
city of Des Moines against the Minneapolis
& Bt. Ijouts, the case against the Rock

The latest suggestion for the third mem
ber of the board of arbitration to settla
tho question of wages between the Dea
Moines street railway and its men In
cludes two Omaha men, R. A. Lueasler of
the Omaha street railway and Major J. O.
Galbraith, 1'. 8. A.. Department of the
Missouri. Tl'.ese men's names were In
cluded in a list submitted by the street
railway company to tho men, with tha
understanding that any one of the list
would be satisfactory. It Is not likely
that the men will accept any on the list
and the delay In reaching a satisfactory
decision as to the third arbitrator Is caus
ing some danger of a strike growing out
of the situation. It Is asserted that there
are thirty-five strike breakers in the city,
brought in during last night by the street
railway management. Among the number.
It Is said, there are five cooks, to be In
stalled at the various car barns to cook
for the men.
