Robber Arrested

Yesterday, information was received by
Marshal Halves that man named James
Kelly was wanted for highway robbery.
The letter was from the city marshal of
Keokuk, Iowa, and gave a very full de-
scription of the man. Marshal Halves
gave full instructions to his men and last
evening Officer German hauled in the fu-
gitive. He was quite indignant at first
and denied any connection with or knowl-
edge of the robbery, but German was not
to be hoodwinked in that style and took
him to Jail. When he was searched a
pair of nippVrs and bunch Of skeleton
keys were found on his person. He gave
his name as James White but failed to
account for having the burglars imple-
ments on his person. Word was tele
graphed tie marshal at Keokuk, who to-
day sent an answer stating that White was
the man wanted, and to hold him until ar
rival of proper authorities. The Keokuk
officer will be here tonight and will take
| his prisoner tomorrow.
