Citizens Of Reinbeck Will Get $500 for
the Capture of the Two Robbers

the Capture OF the Two noppeTs
Who Blew Up Safe in the Postoffice.
Reinbeck, Dec 15.-Thru the gener-
osity of Uncle Sam, who has a stand
ing reward of 5000 for the capture of
every robber who hampers with the
United States mails, the officers and
citizens who SO bravely participated in
the chase and capture Of the two rob
bers who dynamited the postoffice
safe at this place, will share S4O0
among them. Tor several years the
United States government authorized
reward of 5000 for the capture and
conviction of parties guilty of ta-mper-
ing with the operation of the federal
government and especially for the rob-
berry of the mails or postoffices. The
officers and citizens from Reinbeck ana
surrounding towns, however, were not
actuated to exert their most strenuous
efforts by the stimulation which the
reward might afford. They were mere
ly doing their duties as citizens and
conservators of the public peace. They

they were able to give chase and to
make the capture Of criminals and
they were further stimulated by de-
sire to put an end to the long train or
robberies which has been committed
against the government and private in
terests in this vicinity.
Every town marshal and crossroads
constable in Grundy and adjoining
counties is keeping sharp lookout
for the third Reinbeck robber, but he
has not vet been found. All clues have
been lost, and all organized search
abandoned. United States Deputy Mar
shall Healy brought suspect from
Reinbeck to Cedar Rapids Tuesday
night, but he will probably be able to
prive that he is a harmless hobo.
Peterson Discharged.
Peter Peterson of Zaneta, who had
been held in Jail at Reinbeck for sew
eral days on the charge Of robbing the
store at Zaneta by the use Of nitro
glycerin, secured his liberty as the re-
suit of the arrest of the Reinbeck rob
bers. In the car where they divided
their booty papers were found which
showed plainly that they did the
Zaneta job also.
All the stamps and $3.50 of the money
taken from the Reinbeck postoffice
have been recovered. About $500 in
money is still missing.

Is unfortunate ia having few news

have the public believe that they be-
long to the ''holier than thou" class
and are such high moral stioklers
that the party never gets quite up to
their standard, and for these reasons
they are always opposed TO the action
of the democratic convention. They
make their fights before the cOuven-
tion aud il unsuccessful, continue
them afterward. they are not loyal
to the democratic party in any re-
spect, although when there Is any
