A man was in this city to-day. who
claimed to be the deputy sheriff of
Ashland county, Ohio. He was on
his way to Des Moines to get requi-
sition from Gov. kirkwood for a
man in Powsheik county. He came
by the way of the G. d. & q. passen-
ger train last night, and to make him
self more comfortable, pulled off his
coat and vest which he used for a
pillow in the car seat. When they
came to the wreck near Fairfield he
got up and walked out to view the
ruins, aud when he got back both
coat and vest were gone. He thin Ks
that somebody stole his clothing.
He arrived i'll the city too late to

to borrow clothes of a heavier tex
ture, but did not succeed in getting
any.
