TRACKED FOR SIX YEARS.
A Brace of HaWkeye Murderers
Run Down by a Fly Bob.

Aluu DOHh Oy d Try oOUs
MARsHALLTowN, To-, April TO-
Charles Mara and James Rice, the al
legged murderers of Henry Johns, have
been brought here from Visalia, Cal,
where they were arrested by Detective
Burk, who has been on their track ever
since the murder, six years ago. 1t is
the generally accepted theory that the
murder OF Johns was the sequel to
series Of Infamous crimes committed by
the notorious Rainsburger gang,
nephews of Johns, two of whom were
shot to death in the Eldora Jail by
mob the night after their attempt to
kill Dr.. Underwood and companion
from ambush. Two more are serving
life sentences in the penitentiary for
the murder Of Enoch johnson at Gift
ford, after series of trials extending
over several years. 1t is believed the
Rainsburgers killed Johns. not only to
secure portion of his wealth, but also
to commit the crime in such way that
it would appear to have been done by
enemies OF the gang, and thus divert
some of the bitterness felt against them
in the community. This theory is
strengthened by the fact that Johns
had refused financial aid to tie boys in
their fight with the law, which had
firm grip upon them, and that his wife
their mothers sister, was anxious to
help them. The prisoners were taken
to Eldora last night. The trial will
probably throw some light upon the in
side history of the Rainsburger gang.

DAGGETT IN BAD DOOR.
Charges Against the PurveyOr of
Postal Cards.

): NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, April 16.-It is
probable that the manufacture of
postal cards at Shelton, Conn.,, will
be abandoned, owing to the COM
plicatiOns, financial, political and
otherwise, which have arisen. William
Wilkinson.t the Shelton paper manufact-
urer, states that he will supply no
more cardboard for Daggett, the postal
card contractor, and will prepare no
more samples for the postoffice depart
ment. He states that Daggett owes him
a large amount of money, and
that he (Wilkinson), paid for the
cardboard supplied Daggett from Law
renee, Mass. Wilkinson claims to have
expert testimony to show that the cards
he furnished are better than the SAM
pies furnished by the government. The
keeper placed over the concern on yes
terday's attachment was withdrawn
to-day and everything was running as
usual. The employees who were be-
coming anxious about their pay were
notified that they would be paid to-
morrow.
