Webster City Mans Book Contains
Names Of Van Buren, and Jackson.
Webster City, Dec. 19.-F. w. Heren
Of this city is exhibiting an interest
ing relic in the form Of a hotel register
which he and his brother used for
scrap book In their youthful days The
book was an old one at that time, and
it was started on September IA, 1887,
and contains the names Of Andrew
jackson, Martin Van Buren, and other
notables.
The hotel was located at Grdggsville,
ILL.,, a pioneer town in Pike county,
which county joins upon the MISSISSIPPI
ri river. Griggsville has but 1,400 pop
ulation now, and must have had an ex-
ceedingly slow growth, as 1t was one
Of the early trading posts in the west
when there were no railroads west OF
Chicago.
There are many interesting Things
shown in this old register. 1t was the
custom for the traveller not only to
write down his residence where 1t
could plainly be seen by any one, but
he was also expected to put down his
destination, proceeding which would
be viewed with alarm by many travel
ers Of today. The hotel was not pat
rcnized to great extent, as the av-
eragc number of arrivals was not more
than two each day, and many times
there is but q single entry on day.

Cedar Rapids. Dec. 19.-Deputy Uni
ted States Marshal Healy has received
a letter from William Pinker1ton, ask
ing for the photographs and descrip-
lions of the Reinbeck robbers, James
Moore and James Roach. The great
chief Of the detective agency expresses
the opinion that Roach and Moore are
members Of the notorious "Yegg'' gang
who have committed 50 many crimes
In this and other states. He wants to
make fuller investigation Of them.
The men were photographed, tho
sorely against their wishes and pro-
tests, and their photographs will be
sent to the detective agency.
One Of the men who Joined In the
hunt of the Reinbeck robbers had al
so Joined in the hunt after the murder
err Of the marshal at Chelsea some
years ago. He was struck with a
great similarity in the trails and de-
clared that the trial of James Roach,
the old man, was identical with the
trail of the Chealsea murderer. Roach
is crippled and drags one leg, making
a very peculiar trail. There is strong
reason to believe that he was one OF
the Chelsea murderers, but it will
probably be impossible to prove it.
81 suppose they will try to connect
us with every crime that has been
committed within the last ten years"
said Roach. IT ann not going to i'm
plicate anyone or to speak for any
one else but so far as I ann concerned
I am willing to plead guilty to the
charge of robbing the Reinbeck post
office and to receive my sentence right
away"
Roach was told that the United
Sites law provided no way for man
to plead guilty until he had been in
dicted by the grand jury. He express
ed sorrow and said he would gladly
waive all legal rights he might have
and begin serving his sentence at once.
John Cotton the third suspect, was
released. He is doubtless only a
harmless hobo.
