grabbed but which the police officer
took and still has in his possession I'M
til everything is settled and the gate
repaired. OF course the woman want
ed a receipt for her money and was
told she would have to go round to
the police station to get it and the en-
tire party, made a visit to the city
bastile where receipt was made out
and handed the woman.
The party then set out in the auto
for TT. Madison, the members refus
ing to stay in Keokuk another mo.
ment, the woman saying that
she would rather eat ham sand
wiches on the road than stop
in such place. 1t is thought they
went to FIT. Madison where they will
cross the Santa Fe bridge and pro-
coed down the Illinois side of the river
to st. Louis, which they stated was
their next stop.
Had Money.
The automobile in which the four
were travelling was a fine one, being
a large green and gold touring car and
a speed car of 60 horse power in
which the party is taxing a trip about
the country.
On her hands, the woman had four
or five large diamond rings and ser
eral other circlets of precious stones
In her ears were large ear rings, with
diamond drops as large, almost, as a
quarter. She seemed to be well fixed,
carrying large roll of money and be-
ing well dressed as were the other
members of the party, the man and
woman in the back seat, not having
much to say.
Mrs. Hubbard gave her address as
552 Franklin street in Chicago, which
is not one OF the best parts of that
large city by any means. However
nothing is known Of them and they
perheps have forgotten the incident
by now and have smashed UP two or
three more toll gates. One thing is
certain, Keokuk has fallen low in their
estimation.

the bridge property. The woman
Mrs. M. A. Hubbard, who owns the
touring car in which she, her chauffeur
and two friends, man and woman
were travelling got very angry when
asked by the bridge superintendent for
settlement for the damage they had
done to the bridge property The
chauffeur, whose name was not learn

the whole party. assured an arrogant
air which was unhealthy for them all.

Went Back AGAIN.

The woman stated that she and the
others would get out of the car ex
cept the chauffeur and the bridge
superintendent could be taken over to
Illinois to see what damage had been
done The three men, the chauffeur,
the other man who, gave his name as
Slingliff and who, said his home was
at New London, Iowa, and Mr.. Cole
proceeded across the bridge where the
amount OF damage done was ascertain
ed and the bridge superintendent stat
ed that repairs would amount to five
dollars. The chauffeur and other man
kept up scandalous talk about Keo-
kuk, stating that they had learned be-

right now said the bridge official.
Finally all three climbed into the car
and rode back to the west toll house,
where the woman began to lambast
the town and the chauffeur kept get
ting in word edgeways every time he
could. The upshot of 1t all was that
the auto party from Chicago went up
town and had stopped at one of the
drug stores. probably for information,
when an officer and the bridge super
intendent approached. All the
bridge company asked was settlement
for the damaged gate and Mr. Cole
stated to the woman that If she would
leave her address with the officer, the
gate would be repaired and the bill
sent to her address in Chicago. This
she refused to do but reaching under
the seat, drew forth a purse. from
which she extracted roll OF bills that
would make one think she was Hetty
