Are After George Lovan, the Fellow
Who Was Arrested at the
Sherwood Shop Yester-
day For Stealing.
LOCATED AT NAUvoo
Word From That City This Morning
Said That the Man Had Been
Seen There and Driv-
ing North

The Anti-Horse Thief association
has case on hand at the present
time which may prove very interesting
before it is all through with and mat
tiers again adjusted after the offender
has been brought to justices.
Yesterday morning an excited group
OF men passed up Lucas Avenue to the
city Jail in the midst of which was a
man and fine looking team of horses.
George Levan of Wayland, Mo-, had
been arrested on the charge of taking
several articles from the store of
George Sherwood, the harness man
and was released only when the WHIPS
belt and other things he had taken
without asking for had been paid IN
full
Levan came to Keokuk about six
weeks ago and when he asked for
work at the harness shop of George
Sherwood was given employment and
remained there for several weeks. He
remained about three weeks and then
returned to Wayland it is std. Yester-
day he showed up again however after
two or three weeks absence from
the city and was in the harness shop.
Later on the word of several who had
seen the man take various articles he
was arrested and later in the day re-
leased A belt which he had taken
from the harness shop he was wearing,
one which he had taken from the case
during his three weeks employment
il the shop and never paid for.
The team of sorrel horses he told
the officers. were from livery stable
at Wayland, giving the name of one
of the livery barns of that place. A
large phaeton was drawn by the team
of good looking horses.
Levan presented one of the en-
ployes Of the Sherwood harness shop
with pair of gloves which he brought
with him from Wayland yesterday.
Left With Team.
Yesterday afternoon, Levan was
seen in an intoxicated condition and
was seen coming from liquor store
with a bottle of whisky. Later he put
up the rig at the yards at Eleventh
and Main adjoining boarding HOUSE,
there and left there again about $50.
This morning he was located three
miles north of Nauvoo driving with
the same. team which he got In Way
land on Monday.
The Anti-Horse Thief association has
taken the matter well in hand and sew
eral men from Wayland, including the
owner of the team came to Keokuk on
the 1:15 train and got ready to go to
Nauvoo to try and locate the man who
skipped with the buggy and horses.
1t IS thought that Levan is in an in
toxicated condition as he was SLIGHTLY
under" when arrested yesterday
morning and was worse during the
afternoon
He is q harness maker bv trade
but a poor one it is said by those for
whom he has worked.
If Levan is not located at Nauvoo
| the A. H T. A. men and the owner OF
/ the team will go to Ft. Madison to get
! him If he has taken that direction.

.GEYSE|R|. MARION MILL
TOTALLY DESTROYED
Old Plant and Dividend Payer at Nicr-
cur Is Burned to the Ground by
Mysterious Fire On Tuesday.

r.. 4 Z
Through Il letter received this morn
ing by John Dern from George H.
pern, manager of the Consolidated
Mercur Gold Mines company of Mer-
ieur it is learned that the old Geyser
Marion mill ut Mercur, which was one
time one of the good dividend payers
OF the state, was burned to the ground
Tuesday afternoon. The only thing left
standing at the place was the black
smith shop and assay Office. The en-
tire plant was consumed in less than
an hour. When the flames started on
the dry timbers it appeared as though
with one flash the plant went up in
smoke. ssl .t4 s
The mill has not been worked for
Years and vas vas Of an an old fashioned pat
tern. AT the same time there was
some valuable material and machinery
in 1t, such as3lun1ber, crushers, boilers.
tanks. piping and the like. I.3
The property belonged to w. S. Nc
SCornick Of Salt Lake City, H. Otto
Hanlle of Cincinnati, and a number
of other people. 1t has been renamed
and at the present time is known as
the New Mercur property.
The cause OF the fire is somewhat of
a mystery and thus far Its origin has
not been accounted for. There was
morning at the place to start the fire.
PRAISE FOR GOLD MOUNTAIN. z
w. G. Marshall, the mining expert,
who has for some time been examining
the Sewer Consolidated mine for the
Salt Lake Hardware company and.
Others, went north on the Nellie BLY,
express last week. Mr.. Marshall has;
Just finished making an examination
Sof the property belonging to the Gold
Mountain Champion company. While,
the gentleman Is very reticent con-
corning his business trips, he is most
sprofuse and unreserved In his praise
for Gold Mountain. That camp he
says. il it were located in Colorado or
Nevada, would attract the world.
Never. in his experience, has he seen
any other camp that has been the sub
{ject OF such gross mismanag cement. 1t
lis the unqualified opinion of this ex-
pert that any mining man. with an
ordinary amount of good horse sense
should be able to make a success of
any nf those meritorious properties.
More real yellow gold can be seen in
ono days travel on Gold Mountain
than can be found in most camps
after a search lasting for months.
State Senator Seyy3 is in town and
reports that the Sewer Consolidated
has started up with a small force Of
men and that 1t Is expected that the
mine and the mill Will begin opera
lions within the next 60 days.
