that the bank in South Dakota had not
sent the telegram delivered by the
Western Union agent at Wood River.
The officials kept the matter quiet and
engaged in still hunt which led to
the arrest of Peterson at Waverly. An
officer of the bank has come to the
county seat and identified Peterson as
the chap who secured the money.
1t is alleged that Peterson is a tele-
graph operator; that he went to Aida,
a small station seven miles west of
here and eight miles east of Wood
River, watched an opportunity when
the agent of the railway company was
out on other duties, slipped in, took
the key and sent the telegram to Wood

Rowland, a comparatively young man
of at least average intelligence, Is
confined In the Johnson county Jail,
self-confessed criminal.
Following hearing on the charge
of forgery in the county court he was
remanded to Jail to await trial in the
district court in default of 1000 bond.
The story Of Howlands offenses and
his subsequent confession is as fol-
lows: In April 1907, two checks, bear
ing the forged name of o. L. Damon,
were presented at the Sterling banks
and were cashed. One was cashed at
the First State bank of that place, and
the other at the Farmers and Mer-
chants bank. Each was for $4,000.
Mr.. Damon's son. Elmer Damon, and
an associate, Lee Parish, were ar
rested, but for lack of evidence the
case against young Damon was dis
missed and did not come to trial. The
case against Parish was tried in the
district court, and after being out for
five hours the jury acquitted the
accused. Recently Rowland, accord
ing to his own story, got into trouble
in Richardson county. With his young
wife and babe he was living on farm
near Stella. His father came to Ne
braska from Oklahoma and straight
ened up matters and kept his son out
of prison. After his trouble in Rich
ardson county Rowland seems to have
become remorseful, and he has given
