Suspects Are Held.

Two train robbers" giving the
names of ID. b. Ridley and John Law
less, and claiming to be cooks, were
before Justice Altman at Davenport
yesterday and were sent to Jail for
10 days on charges of vagrancy in
order to hold them pending investiga-
tion of their whereabouts at the time
of the train robbery. Both men were
picked up the morning after the safe
blowing and are said to answer well
the description of some of the holdup
men. They told the police and the
justice that they came here from Des
Moines, beating their way. Justice
Altman says the railroad company
may file charges against them, if it
wishes to have them held longer than
the 10 days of their present sentence.
Lawless is a tall man, and the police,
who are credited with considera BILE
skill in reading the physiognomy of
the other half" are authority for
the statement that he looks like Il
bad man, and if he did not help rob
the train, ii was likely because he
was not invited to participate.
