Correctionville, July 2S.-mterest here
attaches to the binding over of i. 8.
Robinson, of Pennington, Iowa, in the
association with the Maybray syndicate
of swindlers. Robinson ran a hotel and
restaurant in Correctionville and his
father-in-law, Ed Masters, now of
Pennington, and who has signed Rob-
inson's bonds, was at one time owner
and operator of the Sioux Valley mills
here. The Masters family was t,snly
respected.
AS an indication that Robinson is not
a novice in the steering" game it is
pointed out that he swindled James
Mayclin, of this place, out of $4,000
farm in a fixed" foot race in a small
town near Joplin, Mo- seven years ago
In fact, some here believe that Robin
son is the originator of the Maybray
methods.
James Mayclin, who is now in the
Ice business here, speaking of the time
Robinson did" him out of $1,000, de-
clared the Pennington man is so
crooked that he could hide behind a
corkscrew. Robinson protested to be
a close friend of Mayclin's and for this
reason wanted to help the latter to
some easy money!" Robinson was a
foot racer of no mean speed holding
a record for 100 yards of better than
10 seconds. 1t was Robinson who in
1901 trained the Correctionville high
school track team so that it won %
points at the Cirinnell meet, while
West Des Moines won the event with
q points. Grinnell being second with
26 points.
Fixed to Lose Match.
Robinson represented to Maycln that
he had made a match with foot racer
in Missouri and that they had fixed
it," Robinson was to lose the race.
That looked good to Mayclin. Here was
his fleet friend who was not asking
any one to back him, but merely Civ
ing friend tip that he was going
to lose. 1t looked as if any man could
lose a race if he wanted to, and
gambling on Robinson's assurance that
it was a cinch. Mayclin borrowed SIS
900 on his farm. Went with Robinson
and saw the race, betting his pile
against Robinson. The men sprinted
for the tape in record time but-of
course it was most unfortunate-Rob-
inson's opponent fell down and Robin
son just simply had to win the race.
Mayclin dropped his $1,000 and lost
his farm thru it,

was to be more than repaid within a.
short time. She gave a receipt for the

parted to boom trade and wait for the

manned in town a day or so, all right,

she would be along in a day or so.

appearing in the T.-R. of July 20, un-
der a Waterloo date, in which Mr.. and

read little different if the facts were
told. Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds arrived
in Traer July 6, the former presum-
ably to write accident insurance. They
secured board and the following day
the services of doctor and nurse
were needed. The services of the nurse
were required eleven days, the doctor
dealing out his medicine and making
several calls on the patient during
that time, Mr.. Reynolds paying moth
ing, not even promising to pay. When
the first weeks board was due he was
asked to pay. He promised to pay next
day, but nothing was forthcoming, so
on the following Friday he was told
to either pay or leave, but Mrs. Rey-
nolds received the same care and at

It was a clear case of runaway, for
they requested the night man at the
