and going to Sioux Rapids identified the
two men there as two of the three
strangers who were in the town the
night before the bank was robbed.
Some of the money believed to have
been stolen from the bank was also re-
covered, but how much could not be
learned last night.
The two fellows under arrest, as did
the one who was shot, refuse to talk or
to say who they are. So far there has
been no identification of them further

zens and the money found on them.
Des Moines, Nov. 1S.-A. U. CUNT,
atty Company, tho he is not interested
notified Saturday evening of the ARRAY
at Albert City. He said that he had no
doubt but what the dead robber and the
two under arrest constitute gang that
has been working out of Sioux City and
Mason City. with an occasional trip in
to South Dakota. Minnesota and to
southern Iowa for the past month. He
had an agent at Spencer engaged in
working out a clue to one of the bank
robberies, and this man went to Sioux
Rapids Saturday night. He was unable
to identify either of the men. Another
man. Pinkertcn agent. who was in
Sioux City working on the Hinton and
Salix robberies, from that end of the
line. was instructed by wire
to proceed at once to Albert City and
Sioux Rapids to see if he could identify
the robbers. He Will reach Albert City
this morning, leaving Sioux City for
Fonda at s o'clock, from which point |
he Will drive to Albert City. Mr.. Quint
feels certain that if the fellows are pro-
fessionals this man will be able to iden- |
tify them.
