Mr.. Garrett lives with his son Frank,
near the Milwaukee track in the south

from any other residence. Both Frank
Garrett and his wife were away at the
time and Mr.. Garrett laid down on the
couch to rest and fell asleep He was
awakened by some one entering the
house and he thought 1t was his son.
There was no light in the house and
when Mr.. Garrett spoke some one hit
him terrific blow in the face and
then again on the side of the head. He
was knocked down and rendered UNI
conscious by the blows and when he
came to his money was gone. While

The Lieutenant v. NJ. Whitaker" who
appeared at Burlington and made
contracts for supplies for the troops
who were to camp there for ten DAYS on
their forced march to Fort Smelling,
proves to have been a swindler and a
CRATER. He was a good talker and
evidently familiar with military life
and with thef business of arranging
for just such camps. for he specified
what was required, including water
and hay, etc. And he was welcomed
by good people, taken to the Elis'
headquarters and introduced to I'LL
sorts of good fellows.
incidentally however, the lieutenant
had his business affairs to attend TO,
and while he was charmed with the
courtesies extended, it was business
first and pleasure afterwards. He found
that the companies would require some
$4,000 of $4,000 worth of supplies ana
he closed contracts with Burlington
dealers for all these supplies. OF
course, personally, he was satisfied
everything would be all right, but the
government took nothing for granted
and he had to get security for the
prompt fulfllment of the contract, and
the security was in the form OF a
check, made payable to him, and 10

Rand Is being held by the officers,

away from his assailant, but was UNI
able to do so, until he had received the

wounds were dressed, and where he
accused Rand Of being his assailant.
Rand was placed under arrest and
upon being taken into the presence Of
Mr.. Abbas, by Special Constable
Schroeder and Sheriff Walsh, was posi-
lively identified by the injured man. 1t
is said that when Rand was arrested
he threw away a knife, which was la
ter found by the sheriff.
Rand has been employed on the
Scallon farm, and it is reported that
the Scallon boys informed the officers
that they saw Rand sharpening his
knife before coming to town yesterday
morning.
Mr.. Abbas lost much blood. but the
physician believes he will recover un.
less blood poisoning or other compiled
lions set in. He has wife and foul
Ichildren, and has been working farm
belonging to his father, who recently
moved to town. Rand has no parent:

Keokuk, Sept. 24-One Of the cleanest
cut robberies that has taken place in
Keokuk for number Of years is that
OF the residence of Rev. R. G. McIlwain,
rector Of St. Johns Episcopal church, at
Third and Exchange streets, from
which $500 in cash was distracted by
a ninble- fingered thief with good
head" on him. The money was taken
from AN unlocked dresser drawer dur
ing the brief absence of Mr.. McIlwain
1t consisted of five 800 bills. That
the money is in such large denomina-
tons affords some hope of the eventual
capture of the robber. The theft is sup
posed to have been committed by some
one acquainted with Mr.. McIlwain's
habits and premises which he occupies
It is quite likely that the party was
aware of the fact that this large sum
was in the house, tho Mr.. McIlwain is
not inclined to take this view Of the
matter.

An ordinary list of attractions
make up the major part of the bill
this week, but it averages fair.
Adams & Mack. "The Mysteriarch
and the Mystagogue," have good
collection Of bewildering tricks
with a certain amount of comedy
in connection. Ella Garrison and
company in it's burlesque offering,
"Tony & Cleo" recite bunch Of
nonsense that takes fairly well.
Marie Hrdlicka, the Bohemian
lyric soprano, has good control OF
her voice, but her selections are
not extraordinarily pleasing. The
Terry Twins are quite funny. They
are as near alike as two peas and
puzzle spectators who try to keep
tab on No. l and No. 2. No. l de-
clares he is 10 minutes older than
1.-TWO" but that don't aid the audi
ence any, for after lively boxing
bout none but the twins themselves
know which is which. Some diff
cult gymnastic feats, requiring
great physical endurance, are per-
formed by the Four Bards.
