he with three other fellows, broke
into and looted a store in Greeley.
Three of the men, King among
them, were captured in the timber
near Delhi, after some shooting.
They were sentenced to seven years
in the penetentiary. One Of the
men died in prison, another is hope
lessly insane, but King, or Rice, as
his real name is, studied for the
ministry in Chicago upon his dis
charge from prison and became an
active worker in retaining souls
from Chicago's worst slum districts.
He is married and has family and
is beyond doubt an entirely reform
ed man.
