If the statements contained in the
Geographic articles regarding the rob-
berry of the Burlington train near Mar
Gus, Illinois, on Tuesday night, are
true in all their particulars, there is
every probability that the robber who
was killed by his comrades in crime
and thrown from the engine while the
band was making it's escape was A. L.
Jacobs, formerly resident of Ottum-
wa and also of Sigourney. A man
named A. l.. Jacobs whose descrip
ton corresponds reasonably well with
that of the dead train robber, made
Ottumwa his home for about year
