Des Moines, Sept. 2S.-According to
Editor l.. e. Fay, of the Clinton Ad-
vertiser, Shercliffe will never be tried
for the robbery at Lockridge, Iowa.
The man who has hunted down rob-
bers for the past five years with bull
dog tenacity and whose operations
have brought him in close touch with
the famous Shercliffe-Dennison case,
and the authorities involved in it, is
at present in Des Moines.
The arrest will be made by the sher-
if of jefferson county in due form, as
soon as Shercliffe is released from SER
vitude for the Pollock robbery
Saturday, but it will be done as
safeguard to prevent the dealing OF
any violence against the noted bandit
from men whom he has accused Of COM
plicity in the big Pollock crime.
Mr. Fay states that Sherchffe be-
lieves firmly that threats alleged to
have been made by Dennison or friends
of the latter were made in good faith
and that his life would be in danger
if he accepted the liberty which was
to have been his Saturday.

He dismounted and got in the buggy

| Considerable speculation is rife here
concerning what will be the outcome
of the cases started against all of the
saloonkeepers of Buchanan county and
the proprietors of drug stores at Quas-
queton and Winthrop, original notices
against which were sworn out and
served about two weeks ago. The
September term of district court has
convened in this city, but no steps
have yet been taken to secure inlunc-
tons against the places mentioned in
the original notices, and there seems
to be considerable doubt as to the pro-
bable course of the law. Original mo-
tees were served upon about seven
teen places in the county, including all
of the saloons, both in this city and
in the other towns of the county.

Thomas Shillington OF, Dayton town
ship is compelled to share his house
with some rather undesirable tenants,
there being several swarms of bees as
we'll as nest of yellow Jackets be-
tween the rafters. The bees nave
been there for five or six years, and
it is probable that there are several
hundred pounds Of honey slowed away
in this novel hive as the result of the
insects activity during all this time.
Mr.. Shillington does not care to deface
his residence to any great extent in
an endeavor to get the honey or to
remove the tenants, hence they re-
main in peaceful possession. In addi-
ton to the honey that is supposed to
be between the rafters Of the house,
the bees have commenced to work on
the outside and have made about two
feet of comb under the caves.

AFTER BURNER GANG.
Companions Of the Noted Burglar
May Come to Grief.


Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Sept. 23.-George Bur-
rier, now incarcerated in the peniten-
tiary at Anamosa, on the charge OF
completely in the robberies alleged to
have been committed by the so-called
Conroy gang, with other persons close
ly interested in bounding down the not
ed Iowa criminals, appeared before the
recent session Of the Pottawattamie
county grand Jury at Council Bluffs.
1t is said that body has returned five
suppressed indictments which lend sig
nifiicance to the statement made by a
prominent detective in Des Moines
Wednesday night that other alleged
crooks, said to have been members of
the gang, will soon be brought to trial
for alleged participation IN the crimes
Of the clique.
Burrier was taken to Council Bluffs,
bound in shackles and appeared before
the grand jury The fact entirely es-
capped the notice of the papers Of that
city, and until the detective divulged
the truth of it Wednesday night, none
but the authorities were aware that
Burrier gave testimony before the Jury.
The utmost secrecy was maintained
in the removal of Burrier to and from
Council Bluffs. it being the desire Of
the officers to avoid publicity.
The so-called Conroy gang fiourished
three years ago in Clinton, Iowa. The
body of alleged crooks were said to
have been headed by young man
named Conroy who was recently sem
fenced to fourteen years at Fort Madi-
son at the end of two of the most stub
bornly fought and most expensive
trials ever held in Clinton and Scott
counties.
George Burrier, another member Of
the gang, is serving sentence at Ana

FULLER HEARD FROM.
Farmer Who Disappeared Has Been
Located at Lincoln, Neb.
Special to s-Republican.


Shell Rock, Sept. 23.-The mystery
surrounding the strange disappearance
from this place of Charles Fuller sew
eral days ago, and the receipt of a
communication from the missing
mans sister at Murray is heightened
by the receipt of letter from Fuller
written to his wife from Lincoln, Neb.
The letter received by Mrs. Fuller
only partially explains her husbands
queer action. AS an excuse for the de-
parture Fuller states that because of
his wife's natural aversion and stated
dislike to leaving Butler county he
went TO Lincoln without heralding
his departure in order to secure a po-
sition before leaving the farm which
they now occupy.
The question has arisen repeatedly
since F'uller's departure as to his
mental condition at the present time,
and while the letter just received con-
tains passages apparently written by
one in a rational condition there is
considerable doubt in the minds Of

term in Council Bluffs. Other crooks
are serving or have served time fol
completely in the dare devil crimes at
tributed to the Conroy gang.
1t is alleged by those who have
bounded the Conroy crowd that the
tracks of this organization frequently
crossed those of bennison and sher-
cliffe, and their associates and hence
the additional Importance attached to
their alleged robberies and other law
lessness.
