ference with the Dsconto Gesellschaft and other
concerns in the Rothschild group. concerning this

Trace of Bandits Discovered in Barn.
on a Farmers Premises.

Davenport Nov. 26-The discovery
OF the rifled express bag and lot of
dynamite hidden on the farm of Will
liam Rohwer are the principal develop
ments in the search for the robbers
who held up the Rock Island passenger
train here last Saturday morning.
Rohwer's barn was the first stopping
place Of the bandits after blowing up
the safe. There they stole the team,
which has not yet been found. Con
cealed in the hay in the barn was
found the express bag, a lot of dyna-
mite and some jewelry boxes, and Mrs.
Rohwer tells of hearing the robbers re-
turn there early Sunday morning and
or their spending an hour in the barn,
while she and her daughter, left alone
in the house, waited in fear and tremb-
ling for them to go.
The theory now is that they had con-
cealed in the barn the stolen express
packages and returned twenty-four
hours later to divide the spoils. The
discovery and the offer of $4,000 re.
ward for the arrest of the bandits has
given new impetus to the search fol-
them, and many detectives are in the
city and neighborhood.
Clinton. Nov. 26.-Three men, all
answering to the description of three

men were in vehicle and drove a grey
horse After relieving the agent of his
cash, thy drove in southerly direction
toward this city. They were heavily
larmed and each wore mask.
