II Is with the governors OF the two
states to say to which authority the
notorious prisoner will be delivered.
Governor Hayward recently asked that
the alleged safe cracker should be
handed over to Sheriff Hunter ofLan--

made, the United States authorities
have stepped In and made a claim for

Is likely that he viii be turned over
to the United States authorities, since
the Federal government Is more
certain to send the fellow to pris-

Hunter Is anxious to have the prison.

ing of the Heath Springs bank" 1t Is
not thought that the state Is able to
secure witnesses and prove the rob-
berry as the United States government
Is with its many agencies for the pur-
pose, and especially at this time when
the government Is rounding UP and
railroading postoffice robbers to the
penitentiaries. "Con Shorty" Is alleg-

Latta postoffice for which three men
were convicted here last week and
sent up. whereas there Is question OF

as being wholly wrong and malicious
and intimated that he would make

runs, Miss Kenyon saw the doctors
