Robbers I'm Clayton Co.

Robbers I'm Clayton Co.
While at Elkader on Monday, Deputy
Sheriff NJ. B. Hodgkins gave US detail of
villainy which is astounding. One year
ago Dubuque Shoe Store wassrobbed of
$1,000 in stock. Last fall at Dubuque
$500 in Jewelry was stolen. At Dyers.
vile week before last Mr.. Dillon's dry goods
store was sacked and $4,000 in assorted
goods were lost. No clue to the robbery
was obtained till last week. A Dyersville
detective named Kinnie ''smelt mice" in
the direction of ELKpeRT in this county
Encountering Deputy Sheriff Hodgk,ns on
his way up here, the two proceeded to the
village on Friday last. A very brief exami.
nation enabled them to strike lead, and
with the arrest Of the first of the parties
an exposure of others followed. The
thieves were all respectable" and what is
most singular, all were Germans. In the
hands of Enoch Schlegel some $500 worth
were found, mostly Jewelry: JNo. SnoLEs,
the merchant of the place, and "highly
respectable" was the lucky holder Of
$1,000 in dry goods bearing the trade mark
of Mr.. Dillon of Dyersville This man,
hearing that some imputations were cast
upon his character, insisted on an examina
ton of his stock. After some solicitation,
Sheriff CARRIER, who lives near him, re-
luctantly almost, consented to oblige him.
In short time trap door in the cellar
was found and there lay the goods of Dillon
as snug as you please! Mr. Sholes was
satisfied and he was gently tied for personal
safety! A Mr.. Myers held 81 900 in stock.
A Tailor, late from New York, held about
500 in cloths. 1t seems Myers, who has
no business, did the stealing and divided
the goods to suit his customers.
All the parties were arrested and are by
this time in Jail at Delhi, Delaware county.
Hon. B. L. Hunt, of this county, is employ
ed in defence, but skillful as he is the case
is too palpable to argue. Elkport was
thrown into the greatest state of excite
ment, every family being apprehensive of
an overhauling or affecting to be so. But
one store out Of four is left open. The
honest owner of this one said he was about
to close business as it was impossible to
sell goods as low as his neighbors! In all
about $4,000 were recovered. Eight Hun.
dred Dollars, in all had been offered as
reward for the detection of the thieves
Too much credit cannot be given Detective
KINSIE, of Delaware Co., Sheriff CARRIER
and Deputy Sheriff HoDcKrNs, for the man.
ncr in which this nest Of robbers has been
broken up.
