that one of the boys had picked it up
and was spending it galore. The
amount taken was about iS25 The boy

out home and bring him back; bas-
ket social was held in town that even
ing and he hired hack to take the
girls to that; bought baskets to the
amount of So; paid boy 10 cents for
polishing his shoes. and gave some
children a few coins, in fact he went
in for "hot time"
When Miss Swope had talk with
him he at first declared he had not
taken it and said: i wouldn't take a
cent of money belonging to you" Then
he owned up to picking up IS of it.
Finally he owned up to taking $15 and
no more, counting the money he spent
and still had, 1t figures to over $40.

PRIVATE BANK FAILURES.
A Collins Man Takes Exceptions I
a Recent Statement,

Collins, May 3.-Editor T.-R,: Re-
ferring to your article Beef Trust
Not Responsible" in the T.-R. of May
2, beg to ask your correspondent to
name the thirty-six private banks that
failed in the years 10000. In my
opinion this is greatly exaggerated. In
fact know it is. Now it is fact that
it is the man and not the state that
makes bank sound. II the manager
of a private institution is honest Their,
will be no failure, and If he wants to
he can steal the depositor's money any
way, as was the case with Bigelow. of
Milwaukee, and score of others that
l might name, but space forbids. The
private bankers entire fortune is at
stake and not few hundred dollars
as is the case with lots of the cashiers
in the incorporated banks.

Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, May S.-Sheriff G. W.
Schnurr of New Hampton, who was III
the city Tuesday while returning from
taking patient to the hospital for the
insane at Independence, threw a little
new light upon the identity of the third
Reinbeck robber, the one who eluded
the energetic pursuit of the country
folk About year ago Sheriff SchnurI
made the arrest of dangerous trio.
and among them was Fellow who bore
all of the racial characteristics OF the
Hebrew people. altho he went by the
name of Smith. He was arrested be-
cause of being on terms OF intimacy
with two we'll known highwaymen, who
were heavily armed and had in their
possession a complete equipment OF
burglar tools. nitroglycerin, etc. For
tunately the sheriff had the three sus-
poets photographed, and at the same
time he wrote to the officers IN the
various counties asking If any one
was wanted bearing their description.
1t was only a short time ago, that
Deputy United States Marshal M. l.,
Healey of Cedar Rapids wrote to Sher-
if Schnurr asking him If he had a
photograph Of man who went by the
name of Smith and who was said to
be implicated in the robbery of the
Reinbeck postoffice. A criminal at
Council Bluffs recently confessed that
Smith was implicated in the Reinbeck
affair, and from this Deputy Hea1ey
made an investigation. He secured an
excellent photograph of the third rob-
Der, which will aid him in the latter's
location. Roach and Moore. who were
captured by the officers and farmers
in the vicinity of Reinbeck. are now
serving sentence for robbery at the
Anamosa penitentiary. and the officers
are yet hopeful of locating the third
man.
Sheriff Schnurr is typical officer
and terror to evil doors in his To-
cality. He has overpowering strength
and does not know what fear means.
