Last summer Riley Gray purchased from Harry Scott of Weeton, this county, a team of horses and harness, for which he paid with a check on a local bank, the price be- ing $340. The check was not pald, as the bank asserted that Gray had no money on deposit. Scott succeeded fn getting his team and harncss back and Gray was ar- rested on a charge of cheating by falee pretenses. The grand jury last September returned an Indictment against him, but one of the prisoners who escaped from the; Gray's whereabouts were not known. Re- county Jall last week, is once more in cus-| tody. He was captured Wednesday night about sixteen miles north of Missour!

They were arrested by Special Of- ficer Tucker with the stolen goods in their | possession. Mason had been in the eity| from the evening that be escaped from the | county fail untll last 'Monday morning, when he jumped a freight train for Mis- souri Valley. Thursday night and all of Friday Mason, with E. G. Jones, Anduwl Thompson, the supposed ringleader, and Johin Eubricht, camped in the woods north of Fairview cemetery. Friday night Ma- son's three companions made their way out of town on an eastbound freight on the Northwestern, which they jumped near Mynster Springs. The next evening Mason went to the home of his mother on Frank- lin avenue, where he stayed until last Monday. His mother urged him to give himself up to the authorities and he prom- ised to do so and when he left the house she thought he intended to. He was seen on Broadway near the Methodist church that morning, but evidently changed his mind and instead of surrendering himself boarded & Northwestern freight for Mis. sourl Valley. He was known to have rela- tives in Harrison county, and Deputy Sherlft Hammer, who resides at Modale, had been on the lookout for him, with the result that he succeeded in running him down Wednesday evening near Magnolla. When brought back to the county jail Mason denied all knowledge of how the key to open the padlock was secured and said that when the others started to get out he followed. He denled that there was any preconcerted plan to escape. The five pris- oners still at large are: Andrew Thom, son, E. G. Jones, John Eubricht, Mike Sheehan and Mike Fahey. Gravel roofing, A. H.

There is not a mugwump in lows who will yote for any republican congressional nominee mo matter what the lowa platform contains. The Iowa republican platform should be an endorsement of the national republican platform of 1900.

M. HUBBARD DEAD Besults from Injury Received by Being Thrown from Buggy. PROMINENT FIGURE IN IOWA FOR YEARS Marshall Settle County the Finally Agrees to Long Pending Con- troversy Over Bounty Claims. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, June 12.—(Special)— Judge Nathaniel M. Hubbard of Cedar Rap- 1ds died this afternoon at 1 o'clock at his farm In Linn county. He had long been a commanding figure in lowa affairs and he enjoyed a wider personal acquaintance than almost any other man out of office fn the state. He had been general counsel of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad in lowa for thirty-six years, and as such had bden conepicuous in the political affairs of the state and was recognized as one of the most influential politicians of the state. He was regarded as a great lawyer, a shrewd lobbyist, an adroit politician and a good soldier. His death was unexpected. Last Monday he had started to drive to his farm | near Cedar Rapids, where he spent a great deal of his time. He had a rickety buggy and the rattle of the boards frightened the horse o that he jumped, throwing Judge | Hubbard out. One wheel of the vehicle passed over him and broke four ribs. His injury was considered serious, but death was not feared until this morning, when it became evident there were internal in- Juries. Judge Hubbard was 73 years old, a native of Oswego, N. Y., son of a Methodist preacher, self-cducated at home, afterwards a teacher, studied law in Hornelisville, N. Y., and coming west located in Linn county, lowa, in 1854, He practiced law in Marion until he entered the army in 1862 as captain of a company. He served as judge advocate general and provost, and resigned for disa- bilities and was breveted major. He was appointed a district judge in 1866 to fill a vacancy, but a year later resigned to enter the service of the Chicago & Northwestern Rallroad company. As the Iowa representa- tive of that company he has been for more than a third of a century one of the most influential men of the state and, while, be- cause of his aggressiveness in politics and business he has made many enemies, he was loved by a wide circle of friends for many good qualities. Getting R1d of Savage Fish. The first practical effort to make use of the new law on game fish, which permits the state game warden to glve permits for eseining to deputiés under certain conditions, is being made at Lost Island lake in Palo Alto county. A club has been formed of farmers and residents of Ruthven to clear the lake of the fish that subsist on other |fish. The club has purchased a big selne and makes dally catches of fish in the lake under the supervision of a deputy game warden with & permit. All the fish that are protected by law are thrown back into the lake and the others are divided among the members of the club. If there are too many fish they are sold. As soon as the lake is cleared of the fish that destroy the game fish it will be restocked, and the ex- pectation is that in a few years it will be restored to its former condition as a fishing resort. . Bounty Ciatms Disposed Of. A settlement has' been effected in a long pending case in Marshall county affecting the bounty claims of old soldiers. 'The case had been tried before Judge Burnbam and the court had decided that the veterans were entftled to the claims against the county. The Board of Supervisors had arranged to appeal the case to the supreme court, but this week notified the claimants that if the county would be assured of free- dom from further litigation on the same line the claims would be pald and the bounty fund, amounting to about $5,000, would be turned over to the court for distribution. This was agreed to and the decree has been entered to that effect. There are thirty or forty of the claimants to the bounty fund and it has been many years since the claims originated. Encampment Dates In Doubt. Adjutant General Byers went to Fonda this ‘morning, where he was to meet Colo- nel W. B. Humphrey of the Fifty-second regiment, Iowa National guard, and con- sult in regard to the encampment date for that regiment at Fonda. The date origin- ally fixed was July 17, This was not sat- Isfactory to all of the members of the reg- iment and it was changed to June 26. The members of the companies at Fort Dodge and at Webster City have protested against this date and say that the original date would have suited them better. General Byers will open the question after consul- tation with the colonel of the people of Fonda and it 1s probable that the en- campment will be in July. Dispose of Field Meet Controversy. A meeting of the games committee of the lowa College- Athletic association is to be held here tomorrow for the purpose of disposing of the protests which have been 'made agalnst certain of the college boys who took part in the athletic games some time ago. In retaliation for protests filed last year against Grinnell the represent- atives of that college filed protests against Pell and Young, two of the best of the athletes who gave Drake university ita strong lead at the contest this year.
