ing up the consumption and supplies yes
terday Wlckham discovered that approx
imately 11,000 worth of grain had been
stolen In the last six months.
The arrest of Uaynes was due to the
good work ot tho local detective force.
and had practically been revealed before
Mr. Wlckham discovered the theft. Tho
dttectlves were seeking the thieves, who
had abandoned a wagon load of corn near
the "basket factory In the vicinity ot Coch
ran park early Monday morning. It was
then thought that the grain had been
stolen from some railroad car, but the
Inquiries of the detectives brought out
declarations ot mn working at and hong-
lnt around the Wlckham barns drinking
beer that Wlckham wan paying for the
beer. Further Inquiry disclosed that the
Wlckham grain was being stolen and sold

arrest of Haynes followed.
Havnes had been particularly favored
by Wlckham, who provided him with a
comfortable house at 1319 North Eiinin

It was decided yesterday that tho
wagon load of corn being held by the
Dollce was not taken from the Wlckham

Loyal Club Honors
Froom with r resent
The Loyal club of Omaha held a meet
ing on Thursday night when a numDer
of Council Bluffs men were guests, one
of whom was singled out for especial
consideration. It was a conspiracy con
oelved and executed In a measure by
Charles Hansen. George If. Hughes, L.
iv Evans. James O. Bradley, Ernest
Tzithrnn. W. It Barnhausen. Robert Hel
ler and others, who partially kidnapped
and partially pursuaded Chief of oPllce
Froom to accompany them, and he be
came their victim.
At a critical moment, when the pro
ceedings came to the most breathless
point of Interest one of the oratorical
trinntd of the club. steDoed forward and
ft 1.. .Vim rmiTirll Ttlllffs DO-
Uce head to stand, up. The force of tfte
command compelled obedience. Then the
tAtA orator turned loOBo'the flood of
eloquence that was, ready to burst Us
bounds. Itlonzi's. address to tot uomann
and Spartacus' to the gladiators was
turn tiiff In comnarlsan. Even Mark
Anthonys rhetorlo and though-studded
sentences lost much in contrast wnne
the orator extolled the character ot
Chief Froom and told the spellbound
audience that the occasion had been
hrnnnht about to celebrate the last birth
dav anniversary of the Council Bluffs
man, and then ecstatically added a cen
lllnf ri- WA tn hill rft&l IHTft.
With the chandlllers swaying and the
windows rattling, the climax was
reached. Chief Froom waa handed a
handsome gold-handled umbrella, prop
riv onirraved. The Council Bluffs man
can handle himself pretty well In 1111
cmerirency. but the suddenness ana pro
fmmd character of the surprise left him
in n. tnln nf wordless agitation that re
quired a minute to recover from. Latter
In tho evening refreshments were brought
In and' George F. Hughes furnished the
dessert with a dozen or two of his best
character sketches. It required two au
tomobiles and the last hour ot the night
to "bring the Bluffs party home. The
H.nii. nf Chief Froom were yesterday
admiring his present and congratulating
him.

Stock in the Bank
Qne hundred thousand dollars ot tho
stock of the First National bank, hold
by the estate of deceased presldont,
Ernest J5. Hart, was yesterday sold by
Mrs. Hart to E. A. Wlckham, 'president
ot the State Savings bank, and J. P.
Qreenshlelds, president ot the First Na
tional. The sale was In accordance with
the provisions ot the will of Mr. Hart,
which directed Mrs. Hart, as the ex
ecutrix, to convert all ot the property
Into cash . and Invest the proceeds in
Interest-bearlrur securities and municipal
bonds. Mrs. Hart's holdings of the bank
stock belonging to herself and the es
tate was 625 shares. The sale announced
yesterday was for 14S of these shares at
Jill per share, leaving Mrs. Hart still
127 shares of the stock In addition to the
twenty-five shares held by each of her
two sons.
An effort to purchase t9,000 of the ori
ginal stock held by Mrs. Charles R.
Hannan, widow of the founder of the
bank, failed, although a cash offer of
127,000, or POO a .share, was made.
Yesterday the balance sheets at the
close of the day showed the bank's
business had reached the highest point
In Its history. Deposits reached the
highest figure yet attained and the top
notch was exceeded In all other depart
ments. The bank has grown steadily,
beglnlbg with lis existence as a state
bank and without Interruption through
cut its life as a national bank. It is
said it has never been milked by its
stockholders and Its,, surplus has never
been withdrawn ' When Its surplus In
ci eased until It reached the amount of
the capital stock it was used to double
the capital, and it has been permitted to
since accumulate.

A stock DhotoeraDh showing a female
In tights figured as evldonce of a cor
roboratory character In a divorce suit
yesterday In district court. The suit was
brought by Mrs. Fern Kltterer against
her husband, George Kltterer, a railroad
yardman, now residing In Sioux City.
In her petition Mrs. Kltterer alleged
cruelty, drunkenness and associating with
other women. In proof of the last charge
the photograph was exhibited, showing
the defendant gaxlng tn the direction ot
the female in sklrtlesa attire. Expert
evidence showed that the female picture
bad been printed on one page ot the
folder card, apparently about the time
Kltterer was born, and that the real sit'
uatlon was that Kltterer was gating va
cantly into space when he posed in some
gallery for his picture to be placed on
the opposite page.
Mrs. Kltterer ajrreed to the modinca
tion of the petition and accepted the dl
vorce upon the allegation ot cruelty and
drunkenness and waived all Claim for
alimony. In her petition she alleged that
her husband was earning tlOO a month.
They were married at Independence, Mo.,
