THINK THEY ARE SAME MEN.
Police Force is Confident Reinbeck
Burglars Are Known Here.

Members of the police force are con-
| fident that the alleged burglars who
! have been captured and are suspected
of committing the Reinbeck postoffice
burglary, are the same men, or at least
members of the gang. who were de-
tanned in this city several days last
summer So anxious are the officers to
know to certainty that City Marshal
Nicholson expects to go to Marion to
see the prisoners and establish, IL pos
slble. their identity.
Last summer the police rounded up
a gang that was known to have Just
arrived in the city, and made four or
five arrests. Before one of the men,
apparently the leader, was taken into
custody, at point east of the city, he
was seen to throw into a corn field a
package that he had been carrying.
The police searched high and low for
the bundle but could find nothing of 1t.
Finally Officer Mike Clark. who had
witnessed the man dispose of his bum
die. made a personal investigation of
the corn field. measuring as well as he
could the distance that the man might
have travelled after first being seen.
The officers search was a successful
one. and he found, after carefully going
over the ground. bundle that had
been hidden in the grass. He examined
it and found 1t to contain a complete
burglars outfit, including a large bot
tie Of nitro glycerine, a quantity Of
putty, out Of which the cup is made
into which the explosive is poured;
dynamite, fuses, caps. black powder,
soap. etc. Included also in the bundle
was a smaller package containing as
fine lot of skeleton keys as has ever
been seen in police headquarters.
The local police believe that the old
man named Roach, who is in Jail at
Marion is none other than Pat" No
Ian, as he styled himself here, the lead
er Of the gang, and the one who was
seen to throw away the bundle as de-
scribed above. With him under arrest
here, We're men who styled themselves
Williams and Burns. There are others
in the gang, and they were not held
so long, because 1t was believed they
had just happened to meet before the
arrests were made. Nolan, Burns and
Williams were detained in jail here
several days in the hopes of finding
out something about them, and to see
whether they were wanted in any other
places. AS information was lacking,
however, they were later discharged.

Continued Dry Weather is Causing
Central Railroad Trouble.
The continued dry weather which
lasted for weeks previous to the fall of
snow and the recent cold weather, has
not only affected the wells and cisterns
in this city, but has been felt at var
ious points along the Iowa Central.
where the company has pumping sta
lions from which it's engines draw their
supply of water. AT several of these
places in Iowa, where the water is
drawn from wells, the supply has been
diminishing for weeks. and at the pres
ent time Is barely sufficient to meet the
demands. Instructions have been is
sued to be as economical with the wa
ter at the supply wells as is possible,
for it is feared, now that cold weather
has set in. that there may be no rain
until spring, in which case many of
the wells may go completely dry and
may have to be abandoned. The situa-
ton may become serious before the
winter is over.
