quest was begun here on the body OF
the dead bandit but after seVeral WIT

w. @. Dustin of Gilmore was prepar-
ing the body of the dead man for the
casket he found on the inside OF a yel-
low leather bicycle belt the name
Lake" printed in red ink with a pen.
On the inside of one of the mans
bis ok bicycle stockings was found the
given name Peter which, put to-
cether. would read Peter Lake. NO
one i'm this vicinity knows a person by
that name. A clue TO the name Lake
was secured, however, later, by Coun'
" Attorney Quinn, when he received a
wire from Algona. Iowa, twenty-eight
miles south of Elmore, stating that
two valises had been shipped by eX-
press from Heron Lake TO Lake AT
Algona. The vallses arrived there
Wednesday forenoon and have not
vet been called for. He believes that
the Lake is j. Il. Sair, who, with
Pratt. stopped a few days last week
with a family of a farmer near Heron
Lake. They had baggage that an
swers the description of the valises
now in the express office at Algona.
The amount Of money found on the
body of the dead desperate was ST.
O20.03, which just ~tallies, or nearly so,
with the amount missing from the
Bank of ~Sherburpe.
