LOCAL INTEREST IN AN
ARREST DOWN IN KANsA

The following press dispatch, dated
at Mcpherson. Kan. which appeared
in yesterdays Chicago Tribune. is of
more than unusual local interest and
if the facts are as represented may
throw some light upon the Davenport
train robber:
sheriff j. Il. Seitz today arrested
three men for safe blowing at Galva,
this county. on the morning of Nov.
21. and il is believed in their arrest
unearrhed Il gigantic scheme to loot
safes all over the country, and par
ticularly those of small postoffices.
The leader of the gang is a man of
considerable ability. and lives in Chi
cago. but further than this, and the
fact that he signs his name Bill the
officers know not. He used good Ian
guage and his letters are written on a
typewriter.
The men arrested are John Under
hill, George Gallagher and Frank Sim
clair. The following letter. written
to Frank Sinclair by the Chicago man.
is supposed by Chicago detectives on
the ground TO have reference to
crimes recently committed there:
Chicago. Nov. 3. 1902.-Give my
regards to our mutual friend, Bon
gren. How would you like to crawl
into the haystack on Bill Payne's
meadder and go after nice steak in
the willows on Rock river? 1t would
be pretty fine now. Don't know when
| will be in Moline again. BILL"
If the men arrested in Kansas are
| actually crooks, as they seem to be,
their evident familiarity with this To-
cality leads to the conclusion that
they dwelt hereabout during the past
summer and possibly made this local
ity a base of operations in planning
and carrying into execution some of
the boIder jobs that have recently
been done i'm eastern Illinois and west
ern Iowa. The familiar reference to
''BiIl Payne's meadder" implies that
the writer and receiver of the letter
have been together in the Rock river
bottoms. possibly as campers, in
which guise they could pass to and
fro without exciting suspicious as to
their movements.

MYSTERY IN A DEATH
Man Supposed to Be Thomas
James Proves to Be Some.
one Else.
SUDDEN END REVEALS THE SECRET
Iuuuest is Held aud Remains Are
Kept Pending Further
Investigation.

A man supposed to be Thomas
James, of Bloomington, employed as
lineman by the Union Electric Tele-
phone & Telegraph company, died
early yesterday morning in his room
at the Merchants restaurant on
Twentieth street under circumstance
es which rendered it necessary to con-
duct an inquest. The verdict was
that death was due to inflammation
of the heart.
Deceased was IS years of age and
recently came to the city. He worked
up till week ago, when he was taken
i'll and DIR. Foster, who was summon
ed to attend him, pronounced the
case one of inflammation of the
heart. The patient was bedfast all
last week, but Saturday was able to
be about on the street.
Is Found Dead.
In the evening he retired early.
About $3.50 in the morning he awak-
ened other members of the household
by his heavy breathing and when his
room was entered he was found dead.
Coroner Eckhart impaneled jury
composed of W. II. Cline. foreman;
John Isaacson. George Britton, H. f..
Robb, Charles ii. Tool and Robert
Bennett. The above verdict was
found after the evidence of Mrs. Kate
Leinbaugh, the landlady, and Reed
Hatch, a fellow roomer, had been
heard.
A Mystery Develops.
Today surprise developed in the
case that leaves the identity of the
dead man in doubt. While here he
was known as Thomas James and a
letter addressed to that name at
Bloomington was found among his eff
fects. a telegram was sent to Bloom
ington yesterday and a brother of
Thomas James came on today. Upon
arriving he examined the remains and
declared that they were not those of
his brother and Furthermore that he
could not identify them.
The body Will be kept at KnoX's un-
dertaking parlors several days in the
hope that something may develop
that will throw some light on the
case.

What brought him to this end of
the yards is mystery, as he had no
business there. 1t is evident that he
had been struck by a train while
walking on the track and with such
force as to throw him to one side, on

those who knew him in his caboose
near the east end of the yards early
in the evening. Coroner Eckhart
went to Moline this afternoon to hold
