unless the business in the meantime
is sold to other parties who will con-
tinue the same. Sixty years ago, just
about as the last remnant of the Nor
mons were leaving for the far west,
Gotfried Theodore Schenk came to
this city with his family from Ger
many, accompanied by Paul Bechem,
who was brewer by trade, and soon
thereafter thew established brewery
on the river bank at the foot of
Young street In 1859 the building
now occupied was erected and was
used for storage purposes until 1870
when the brewery was removed to
that place and the business has been
conducted there since. After the
death of Mr. Schenk ST. his two sons,
Peter and Herman who practically
had charge of the plant continued its
operation until about three years ago
when Peter retired from the firm and
Herman associated with him his two
sons, Ernest and Paul, and the bust
ness has been conducted under the
firm name of II. ]. Schenk & Sons.
Mr.. Bechem is still a member of the
Schenk family but has not been ac-
lively engaged at the brewery for a
number of years. We understand
Herman Schenk, the senior member,
will retire on account of failing health.
Paul and family will return TO Cali

city just before going into business,
and Ernest will look after his person

Returning from Missouri.

The couple were returning from
Alexandria to Keokuk when the bug

the bridge. The bridge being only
wide enough to accommodate the
buggy without the engine, Watchman

phore so that the engine might not
proceed until the buggy had crossed

nal to proceed but whether he no.
tfced the block or not is unknown and
Engineer John Gray pulled the train
onto the bridge and the buggy was
smashed to pieces with no bad results
to the occupants or to the horse
Miss Bates is Keokuk girl ana
she and the gentleman were very for
tunate in not being killed when the
vehicle was struck by the engine.
The blame for the smash up cannot
be laid to Waterman Donnellson as
the arm was dropped and the engi-
neer was not supposed to proceed un-
til the arm was lifted but it is sup
posed that the fireman was unable to
see the dropped signal in the dark
ness and gave the engineer the sig
nal to proceed.
What might have turned out to be
bad accident was narrowly averted
by the presence of mind in the two
people jumping from the rig and get
ting out of danger.

Night Clerk Gets Away With Few
PaItry Dollars on Thursday
Night and Sacrifices His
10 r8 Honor.
PROPRIETOR STATES HE
Took Twenty-Five Dollars on Thurs
day Night of the Fair and Was
Gone For Four
Hours.

A second case of tapping the till has
occurred at the Grand Hotel. Another
night clerk is said BY the proprietor,
Henry Sanders to have relieved the
Till of twenty-five dollars on Thursday
night of the street fair and it was
thought this morning that he had left
town with the money.
The proprietor stated this morning
that PETERS, the night man, had been
with him but for only short time
and that he appeared to be all right
until Thursday evening when PETERS
left the hotel for about four hours
and stayed away that length of time
visiting gambling rooms ard sporting
houses and that the hotel was left in
the care of another man.
When the proprietor checked up the
next morning, Friday, he found that
fers had not shown up. No attempt
was made, however, to have the man
arrested and he was last seen yester
day afternoon by the proprietor and
was trying to get out an injunction
against the proprietor for conducting
bar in connection with his hotel.
Was Well Thought Of.
Frank PETERS is a Keokuk man
and was formerly police officer on
the local force. Until a short time
ago he was working as switchman in
the c., B. & @. yards at this pace
and was considered good man al
ways being courteous and giving sat
isfaction to his employers.
The theft occurred on Thursday
night and on return to the hotel the
night man tried to blame the robbery
on to the porter who is boy of good
character and was cleared of the
charge satisfactorily to the proprietor.
Guests at the hotel speak of the
clerk and porter fighting and having
words in the dining room on the
same evening after PETER had return
ed after his four hours stay from the
hotel.
1t is not known what action will be
taken in the matter as the proprietor
of the hotel did not have the night
man arrested but if the man is guilty
of the theft he will in all probability
be brought to trial when located
