A few days ago dispatches appearing
in the newspapers told of the arrest of Il
man known as Samuel James at Keo-
kuk, for attempting similar game, in
volving property worth $4,000. An in
vestigation was made by the authori-
ties and the man held at Keokuk has
been positively identified by means of
photographs as the man wanted here.
Strong is under indictment here for
the swindling of Mrs. Young. and the
authorities will make application for a
requisition for him as soon as the Keo-
kuk authorities have disposed of the
case against him. 1t is believed that
the case at Keokuk is insufficient to
hold Strong or James, as he was
known there.
