II is not likely that the News will eat
into the Panhandle or the Herald
very much, simply because from a
knowledge OF the kindly old man who

turn Of life OF the News is caused by
an accumulation OF single tax sta
tistics by the editor, and that as soon
as he gets them worked off, the News
will die again. lie is getting too old
to fool with newspaper except as a
matter OF amusement Such siren
uous foolishness as that Is all right

must have il for a meal ticket, Mr.,

Cedar Rapids, Nov. Especial Agent
NJ. o. Morweisor of this city succeeded
Sunday night in capturing the third
and last of one of the worst gangs Of
box car thieves that ever infested
Iowa. The last man captured was
Clarence Hull and he was arrested only
after chase which extended almost
all over the state.
This trio of bad men have been at
work in the Rock Island yards at
BROOKLYN on the main line for several
years. The authorities have kept after
them increasingly but each time just
as they thought they had them coralled
they would succeed in getting away.
Last week the town marshal captured
the ringleader of the gang, Phil Mar
tin, in the yards at Brooklyn. rms
man has been arrested several times
before and has served terms In the
penitentiary The last time he was ar
rested in Poweshiek county. but while
in the county Jail at Montezuma ne
broke out and escaped. He was cap
tured last week only after a struggle
Another one was captured later IN
the week at Davenport. This mans
name Is j. S. Suffacoll and he, ike
Martin, has served innumerable terms
in the penitentiary. Hull was arrested
by Chief Agent Morweisor at Belle
Plaine after he had given the officer
pretty chase. He was brought here
and lodged in the city jail and then
taken to Montezuma where he will be
held to await the action of the grand
jury Of Poweshiek county. The other
two are waiting in the same place ana
it is thought that they will enjoy
each others company exceedingly. Wy
this stroke Of good work on the part
OF Mr.. Morweisor it is thought that
the cars that have been pilfered so
often in thd yards at Brooklyn will
enjoy a needed rest and that shippers
whose cars are obliged to stop over
at this city, it being division point,
can rest easier.
