TWO MEN CHARGED WITH THEFT Edward Thaggesen and Bert Owens Arrested for Burglary of Ste and Rest Palmer, employed in Willlam Myer's res- taurant on West Broadway, were arrested yesterday by Detective Weir, charged with committing two burglaries and on suspicion of belng regponsible for two more that were the younger of the two, whose right name 1s believed (o be Palmer, broke down when placed in the sweat robbing Lloyd & Garrison’s grocery and Willlam Myers' residence on street Friday night. From ovidence in possession of the police, It 18 belleved that Thaggesen and Owens committed the rob- beries at the Rawlings and Evarts resi- dences Thursday night. Thaggesen, the elder of the two prisoners, has been several werks cook at Myers' restaurant on Broadway, Seventh street. same place as dishwasher and walter. Ar- ticles stolen from the grocery store and Myers' residence were found the restaurant. Owens, who appears to be a novice In crime, was placed in the sweat box and questioned by Deputy City Marshal White, who talked to him as a father would to his son. The young fellow kept a stiff upper 1ip for nearly an hour and refused to anything. Finally he broke down, cried and then the whole story came out. He told how he and Thaggeson forced a rear window to Lloyd & Garrison's grocery store, adjoining the restaurant, and stole a shotgun belonging to Peter Burke, a coat, quantity of smoking tobacco and other small articles. From there they went to William Myers' residence on Mynster street near Scott street. Here they no dif- culty in securing an entrance, as they had the key to the house, having taken it from Myers' coat pocket earller in the evening at the restaurant. They stole here a sllver sugar bowl, silver spoonholder, watch chain and an overcoat. Thaggesen and Owens answer the de- scription of two men who were seen in the vicinity of the residence of Richard Raw- lings on Harrison street Thursday evening, which was robbed. They also answer the description furnished by neighbors of two men seen leaving the house of Willlum E. Evarts on Little Curtis street the same evening, and which was also robbed make Owens or Thaggesen admit that they were responsible for these robberies, but they expect a further confession from Owens, who appears willing to tell all he knows, but Is kept back from fear of his older companion.

MILITIA GOOD AT TARGET PRACTICE Webster City by Arsenic in People Polsone Butter—lown Onts nond s Sentenced. (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, June 15.--(Special.)~The stato of lowa has entered upon & new pol- iy with regard to the Iake beds of the lakes in northern counties. The executive council today made out leases for a num- lakes, five of (he lakes being in Wright and Hamilton counties. Two of the leases were for $60 each and the others for $26 each. The rental is merely nominal, the intention being to the lessees take possession and force suits for possession to test the right of the state to clalm ownership of the lakes and lako beds. The members of the council believe that the state can take possession of the lakes and establish ownership against those who clalm possession through riparian rights. Some of these lakes and lake beds are be- coming valuable. Some years ago specula- tors took possession of them and pro- ceeded to drain some of the smaller lakes and convert the lake beds into cornflelds. Not all of these speculations have been profitable. The owners of land surround- ing the lakes have claimed title and have brought on suits. The big swamp bed in eastern Hamilton county, which was among the lakes leased today, known as lowa lake, was purchased about two years ago by J. H. Moore from the parties who bought it from Hamilton county, the county laying claim to it. The lake bed Is now | used for prazing, after it had been farmed a few years. Some trouble arose recently over the possession and the conflicting par- ties agreed to leave It to the courts. The executive councll today leased the | bed of Storm lake to the city of Storm Lake. This Is for the purpose of giving| the city control of the parking about the | lake between the present lake edge and the meandered lines as shown on the sur- veys. There has been fear by the Storm | Lake people that the farm owners would cultivate up to the present water line and | destroy the parks. Now the city will con- trol. It will also be able to control the! outlet to the lake and thus keep tho water In the lake more nearly statiouary. There is more water in Storm lake, as well lakes of Towa, than before for many yoars. Successful Target P fee. Major Hume and others of the Towa Na- guard returned today from Cedar | Rapids, where they had been In attend- ance the past weck at the state shoot of the militia companies and teams. The riflo practice was the most successful ever had by the guard. Corporal Sauer of the Rock Island arsenal was present and gave in- struction in the use of the Krag-Jorgensen rifles and he complimented the guard on the good scores made, saying that they would average up well with those of ordi- nary practice in the regular army. In the revolver practice, which was used one-half day, the scores made were better than last year. Captain Smith of Webster City, as- sistant fnstructor in small arms practico for the Fifty-second regiment, made the best score, 150, A new feature not before used at the lowa state range was firing at disappearing targets. The state shoot is regarded by all as the best ever held. Colfax Springs Abandoned. The old depot at Colfax Springs, main- tained for neariy twenty years by the Rock Island railroad, is being torn down, and the station will not again be regularly used. It was used only during the summer season. The Inclined elevator is also being taken down. The property has been leased (o private parties and can only be reached now by stopping at the town of Colfax. Polsoned by Enting Butter. Mrs. Frank Priestley, with her little daughter, of Webster City, came near dying from the effects of poison taken Into their stomachs while cating butter. It was a pecullar case and cannot be easily ex- plained. On golng to work in the morn- Ing the husband ordered some butter, which was delivered. At 10 o'clock the mother gave the child a piece of bread spread with the butter and she ate some of ft herself. Soon after both became violently ill and a doctor was called. He pronounced 1t polsoning by arsenic. He saved both of them, but with some difculty. How the polson got into the butter or the bread is a mystery, have Oats Crop s Poor. The grain dealers in Des Moines have Teports from many parts of the state which indicate that the oats crop in lowa this year will be poorer than for several years. The early promises of the crop bureau have not been fulfilled, for the extreme hot weather coming on after a period of cold and wet weather has caused trouble Last year the oats crop of Iowa amounted to 130,000,000 bushels, ain men estimate that It will be not over 75,000,000 bushels this year. The acreage Is less than usual. Higher prices are anticipated, The corn | crop is in better condition. New Coun Conventions, The week just closed has not been pro- lific in county conventions. But four were held. Greene and Pocahontas counties held conventions and instructed for Cummins for governor and as the result of the Cum- | mins strength in Greene, Judge Church of that county withdrew from the race for supreme judge. The Palo Alto delegates are uninstructed, but opposed to Cummins The Cherokee county convention was held After Cummins and Harrimian had made an agreement for a division of the delegation county conventions next week and those will indicate nothing of the drift of ment Sentenced for Swindling R. M. Richmond was today given a (hree years' sentence to the penitentlary in dis- trict court for an alleged attempt of a swindle on girls. Ho represented himself to bo the agent of the Melville Theatvicnl and engaged in securing girls Willing to go in the show at Buffalo. Sey- eral girls answered his advertisement here Mabel Sutley agreed to go to Buffalo and at night went to the depot to start for Buffalo. She gave Richmond her pocket when he started to run out of the depot She caught him and called for the police It was discovered that he had secured money from other girls here and in Sfoux City and Omaha on the same game. Rich- mond took his sentence bard and near fainting in court, Thomas Cleghorn was eentenced to three years for assault with intent to commit manslaughter.

Funeral of Agent Hazard. The body of S. W. Hazard was taken aboard u Northwestern car this morning to be borne to Maquoketa. The funeral serv- fces will be in that city, which was the home of the family for nearly fifteen years and where a daughter is burled. Several officials of the company accompanied the body. A letter mailed to Mrs. Hazard and delivered at the house yesterday gave the probabie cause for the suicide. In it he told of debts contracted which he did not see his way to pay and this fact preyed upon his mind, as well as his inability to keep nis son at college. No one seems to know what debts are referred to. Local officlals of the Northwestern say that all books and papers coming under Mr. Haz- ard’'s care are in correct shape, that he was not in debt to the company nor was there any reason, to their knowledge, for his act.
