ROBBERS ASK HEARING.
sandits At iowa City Demanding
q Trial.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City. Oct. ,27.-The robbers who
were captured here after robbing the
Hirt store were arraigned yesterday,
and asked for an early hearing.
They gave their names as George
Thomas, from nowhere In particular;
Cahiel Eewitt and John Damon, OF
Keokuk. It is thought the two men
giving Keokuk as their residence were
telling the truth, but the other man,
who seemed to be the bad man" of
the gang, probably gave an assumed
name.
That the nsa,re prepared for con-
stingencies is evidenced by the fact that
a little sack Of cayenne pepper was
found near the safe Of the store, left
there by the robbers after they had
completed their work. If they had
been interrupted the pepper would
have put the intruder out Of the run
ming for some time, enough to allow
them to escape. The presence Of some
finely made drills and considerable
amount of gun powder leads to the
conclusion. that one Of the men at
least has a record behind him.
