HAWKEYE STATE MATTERS
A Gray Haired Bigamist
SHENANDOAH, Ia., May 8 - W.A. Hills, who has been living here
with his woman who passed as his wife, is under arrest charged with bigamy
and is confined in the jail at Clarinda in default of bail. The complaining
witness is a lady claiming to be Clara Belle Hills, and that she is the wife
of the accused. Hills and wife No. 2 have been living in Shenandoah some
time and there was no suggestion that they were not what they appeared. Many
think the woman is really innocent, and was herself deceived. She was
married to Hills at Gallatin, Mo., on October 3, 1892, but first met him at
Hastings, Ia., in February of the same year. She is 21 years old, and to all
appearances a woman of refinement and taste. Hills is 50 years old, with
hair quite gray, and does not look like a man hardened in crime. The
evidence is very strong against him, as both wives had the original marriage
certificates. Much sympathy is felt for both of the women.
Valuable Horse Flesh.
CRESTON, Ia., May 8 - H.S. Boal, son-in-law and agent of Buffalo
Bill, came here from Chicago and purchased of L. Bank Wilson his fine
imported English hackney stallion, Top Shot. He will be placed at the head
of Colonel Cody's stud at his North Platte ranch. The price is not given,
but it is understood to be the largest ever obtained for that class of
horses in the blue grass region of Iowa.
Held for Murder.
CRESTON, May 8 - J.L. Pease, of Lenox, Ia., who was held to
answer for complicity in the murder of Brakeman Tom Reynolds two weeks ago,
by Judge Davis, of the superior court, was taken before Judge H.M. Touner,
of the district court. The judge held that the evidence was sufficient to
hold him, but as the "proof was not evident nor the presumption great" he
admitted him to bail in the sum of $2,000.
Succeeds His Father
CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia., May 8 - Dr. John M. Ristine, has been
appointed chief surgeon of the Cedar Rapids and Northern road, to succeed
his father, who held the position for eleven years before his death. Dr. W.
Mumi has been appointed division surgeon to fill the piece left vacant by
Ristine's promotion.
Gave Bedford Two Years and a Half.
CHEROKEE, Ia., May 8 - In the district court of Cherokee county
Judge Van Wagenen sentenced Homer Bedford to two and a half years in the
penitentiary for the seduction of Annie Anderson of which he was found
guilty.
Dropped Dead While Driving
MAURICE, Ia., May 8 - Frank Burlehart, a liveryman, dropped dead
while driving to the Northern depot for freight on Saturday. He leaves a
wife and an aged father.
