Bird, allas “Stretch” Bird, | was found guilty yesterday afternoon by a Jury in the district court of robbing George ' Catterlin of a gold watch and chain and a sum of money during a holdup at Samuel Graves' grocery store on High street one night last summe: | Bird's defense was an alibl. He con- tended that on the night of the holdup he was at the home of C. M. Coffin playing carde. He said that on that day he went to Omaha at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and | returning about 5 o'clock went to the Coffin home, whern he remained the rest of the night. Mr. and Mrs. Coffin testifed to Bird Leing a: their home all that evening and | night. Detective Murphy testified that a few houra' before the hodup he saw Bird at Lake Manawa, and former Detective [ Callaghan testified to seelng him In the aftornoon in a Broadway saloon : Catterlln was certain of his ldentifica- tion of Bird as the man who robbed Lim | Bird while serving his last sentence in {he Fort Madison penitentiary lost one of th ‘ fingers of his right hand, it' being eatd that he purposely placed the finger in the ma- chinery and cut it off in order that he might be relleved from work. The absence of this finger led to his positive identifica- ! tlon by Catterlin, ! Bird was convicted June 1, 1865, of break- ing and entering and was sentenced to the penitentiary at Fort Madison for three i years. Again on September 25, 1900, he was convicted of a_ similar offense and again sent to the penitentiary for three veafs. He had been but recent;; released from prison when he with two other men car- "rled out the holdup at Graves' etore 1t is a question whether Bird, now hav- “ing been convicted for the third . ne of a felony, can be sent to the penitentlary for {a less term than twenty-five years. 1t is | claimed that under the section of the Towa statute he must be sentenced as an habit- ual cr.minal, having been convicted twi.e | previously and sentenced to terms of three | years on each conviction. The section of | the code reads as follows: Whoever has béen twice convicted of | erime, sentenced and committed to prison, in this or any other state, or by the {'nited States, or once in this state and once at ! least {n any other state, or by the United States, for terms of not less than three vears each, shall, upon conviction of a | felony committed 'in this state, after the | taking effect of this act, be deemed to be an Nab ftual eriminal and shall be punished | by Imprisonment in the penitentiary for N.

MUD LAKE DISTRICT STORMY fowa Farmers Wade Into Deep Trouble When They Start Move- ment to Drain It. WEBSTER CITY, la., Nov. 20.—(Special.) —The Board of Supervisors of Hamilton county spent two days this week in hear- ing both sides of the controversy over the proposed drainage of (he old Mud lake bed. "This drain, as estimated by the county sur- veyor, will cost about $63,00. In the remon- strance filed against the proceeding, how- ever, it Is stated that the work would cost fully $0)0%. The hearing has been ¢on- cluded and the board will announce Its de- | cision within a few days. There are about 1,400 acres in this like bed. In the drainage district which it is proposed to create fcr the purpose cf drain- | fng It there are 43,000 acres. Piof. D. A. Kent, formerly of the Ames college faculty, and the other owners of the lake are ask- ing that the drainage district be creatcd, while the other farm residents of the pro- posed district ape bitterly opposed to it. | In the hearing before the board the own:rs of the lake bed were represented by two | attorneys, while the remonstrants had three. The feeling Letween the two parties is fo intense that the farm owners in the proposed district deem as inequitous the proceedings of (he lake owners to extort money. from them fo uid in the diainage of this big lake bed. At a mass meeting of farmers heid a short thme ago In Kamrar to decide on a line of action in remonstraling with the Board of Supervisors against the creation of a drainage district of Mud lake feeling ran so high that Prof. Kent and other speakers who are desirons of ¢ iting the lake drained were hissed fr m he oo and' not alowed to rpaak. The ia Ters fear that .he atlon of a d.anage @i | trict of the lake 2nd the surroundng water shed will be of such an enormous cost to| them that they will have to mortgage their | farms in order to pay for the big drain | which It is proposed te build. The owners | of the lake bed, on the other hand, assert | that they cannot drain the lake bed other- wise, as they cannot purchase an outlet for | a ditch should they attempt to make a pri- vate draln.
