robbers were indicted Thursday for
murder in the first degree in causing the
| death of John Sunblad. Some OF the
court officers took UP collection at the
court house and among citizens for the
funeral expenses and other immediate
necessities Of the widow. They felt that
the county ought to bear the funeral ex-
penses. They raised SSS in twenty min
utes. There is talk that Charles Iodine
is also dead. At last advices he was
growing weaker This intensifies the
feeling here, as we'll as at Albert City,
twenty-five miles away, but the law
will be allowed to take it's course. The
Jail is carefully guarded night and day.

Sioux City, Nov. .2s.-Captain Dick
Richard Of the Sioux City police depart
ment believes he has solved the mystery
surrounding the identity Of the bank
robbers captured at Albert City after
fierce fight with citizens and now con-
fined in Jail at Storm Lake.
The men give the names of Lewis
Brooks and Albert Phillips. Their pic
lures, received by Sioux City officers,
represent Brooks as a white man, rather
seedy in appearance, gray eyes and light
hair, face smooth, height feet 63a inch
es. Phillips is colored man, with a
high, intelligent forehead, age 80 years,
complexion, medium dark; eyes,
brown, height feet 1o1s inches, mus
tache, small; education, apparently
good.
1t was an ispection of these pictures
that induced Captain Richard to make
the investigation which he believes has
solved the mystery. He believes the
colored man, Phillips, is Charlie Jones.
alias W. Mckee, arrested Jan. 10, 1897,
by the sheriff OF Plymouth county with
Sharky O'Neil for robbing the Seney de-
pot at LeMars, and sentenced to three
years in the penitentiary for the crime.
During the past few years Captain
Richard has been keeping an album Of
notorious criminals. He now has large
collection and among them is the pic
ture and description Of the colored man.
Charlie Jones.
There was more than usual interest in
Sioux City over Jones' arrest because he
was in company with "Sharky" O'Neil,
notoriously we'll known Sioux City
character, and it may be that O'Neill is
now one OF the gang still at large.
O'Neil had just been tried in Sioux City
for completely in the Fleckenstein jew
elry robbery. He was brought here
from st. Paul with much jewelry In his
possession. Largely because OF sympa-
thy for skinny" Farrell, arrested with
him, O'Neil was acquitted. He went
Immediately from here to LeMars
where his arrest followed. O'Neil re-
ceived four years and Jones three years
Their terms would have expired before
now.
The picture of Jones in Captain Rich
ards album is that of a high proved
colored man, with a smooth face. The
description accompanying it gives his
age as 26 in 1897. His height as 5 feet IL
inches weight 165 pounds. and describes
him as a coffee-colored mulatto.
Barring the difference caused by the
nlustache in the picture of the man
captured at LeMars the one in Captain
Richards album bears startling re-
semblance to the captured bank robber.
II feel almost certain this Storm Lake
man is Jones' Captain Richard said.
Nov, first compare the descriptions.
The Storm Lake man is described as
about SO years. Jones was 26 in 1897.
That would make him 30 now. Phillips
is said to be feet 10k inches high.
Jones was feet ii inches and a differ
ence of half inch could be easily ac-
counted for. Phillips is medium dark
and Jones was coffee colored mulatto
Nov, compare these pictures. You
very rarely see a colored man with a
high brow, yet both of these men have
the some we'll rounded forehead, the ey-
brows have the same peculiar curve, the
nose is similar and even the pose Of the
head on one side Is exactly identical"
