George McCoombs and Mrs. Harley
TSperry, who are alleged to have eloped
from this city early in May, have been
arrested In Phoenix, Ariz., and last
night Sheriff John Doner left for that
city to bring them back here for trial.
1t Is thought that charge of forgery
will be placed against McCoombs but
according to reports neither of the I'M
faithful pair will be prosecuted by the
man and woman they left behind when
they departed from Abba three months
ago.
Mccoonbs Building Contractor.
McCoombs had lived in Abba for
several years and he and his family
were highly respected Last May he
had the contract for several large build
ings, some of which were under con-
struction. Among these was the con-
tract for the wood work on the new
$4,000 I. O. 0. F. temple He is said
to have drawn about $4,000 on the var
ious contracts Thursday and with this
he paid the Hobson Lumber company a
bill Of $500. He was to have paid Fair
Williams Bridge Co.. of Ottumwa,
$1,000, but he failed to do SO.
Harley sperry was employed by Nc.
Coombs. The latter sent Sperry to
Davenport for him on business on May
5 with instructions to stay there until
May s. AS soon as Sperry was out
of town, McCoombs and Mrs. Sperry
packed her apparel and belongings and
that night left for parts unknown
Nothing has since been heard from
them until Sheriff Doner last night got
word from Phoenix
McCoombs told his wife on May he
was going to Davenport on business,
and would be gone few days Con
sequently the absence of the pair was
not discovered until Sunday, May 8.

to be a member of reg.
ularly organized gang of rail
road trainmen which has for years
been carrying on a systematic robbery
of the cars of that road. 1t is be-
lieyed that the band includes thirty or
forty men located all along the entire
line, who have their private signs and
markings thoroughly understood by
all by which they communicate. The
gang has devoted itself especially to
the robbery of cars containing silk
shipments. About $4,000 worth OF
silk stolen from the company has
been recovered during the past few
months. 1t is believed that this com.
pany has a leader who practically
manages and conducts the operations
of the other members of the gang.
