Work Began This Morning Of Tearing
Down the Old Kangaroo Saloon
on the Leyec, Water and
johnson Streets.
OLD PLACE HAS HISTORY
It is Not Known Exactly When the
Old Structure Was Built But
it Was Moved to Levee
in the Fifties.


The old Kangaroo saloon will soon
be no more. Today workmen started
tearing down the old structure which
has stood at the corner of Water and
Johnson streets for over a half cen
fury, to replace 1t with new modern
structure, two story brick veneer
building
The old saloon, the Kangaroo,
which has stood for probably over
sixty years, is one of the oldest land
marks in the city, and is familiar to
many traveller who has visited in
Keokuk in years past, and could the
old two story shack which is being
RACED today, speak, no doubt many an
interesting tale would be told. Last
fall it will be remembered, the city
council condemned the old building
which has seen so much service and a
new structure was ordered put up or
at least the old one removed.
The property today is owned by
Miss Clara Barnesconi, into whose
possession it came after the death of
her father, number of years ago.
Kangaroo Has History.
The old Kangaroo saloon has a his
tory. Just who first owned the house
and in what manner 1t has found it.
self in the present possession OF its
owners is not exactly known. Back in
the late forties, however, or in the
early fifties, the structure was locat-
ed about where the Grand Hotel now
stands. In it man by the name of
R. H. Rollman, conducted 8 candy
store and candy manufacturing es.
Enlistment. At that time. the S.
Hamill company's warehouses were
located in that block also
When Mr.. Barnesconi came into
possession of the place, he had it
moved to the present location, Water
and Johnson street corner, and since
then saloon has been conducted
there. At the time of moving it to
the lower levee, there was some
trouble experienced in getting it there
on account of its size and there are
several older residents Of the city
who today speak of the changing OF
its location from between Second and
Third on Main streets, to pace near
the union depot.

Vaughan is Expensive.
The case of Vaughan has presented
singular phases in many respects. The
entanglements which the city marshal
encountered in his trip west, were
almost enough to cause him to give
up in despair, but he was determined
to bring back his man in spite of any
thing.
Kesselring held lengthy private
difference with County Attorney The
odore A. Craig this morning at police
headquarters. 1t is not known when
the prisoner will be given his prelim-
mary hearing, but it will either be
this afternoon or tomorrow afternoon.
After the conference Marshal Kessel-
ring went home to take bath.
The arrest of Vaughan has been
quite expensive and it is estimated
that several hundred dollars will be
spent before he is convicted.

county attorney Marshal Kesselring
was cleared OF the charge of perjury
and was free to go ahead in his efforts
to bring Vaughan home.
While this was going on Kesselring
was having difficulty in securing
requisition papers. The governor was
not in Jefferson City and was not slat-
ed to return home until last Saturday.
With this information the Keokuk Of

were made out Saturday evening and

Vaughan Shows Fight.

When he returned to Monet
Vaughan was out on bond and Kes-
selring Immediately demanded the as
sistance Of local officers in finding
him, this authority being invested in
him by the requisition papers.
Vaughan was found at his boarding
house and showed fight. A big officer,
stalwart and strong was dispatched to
the job, but did not land his man be-
fore a rough and tumble fight had
taken place. Armed with warrant
the officer found resistance when he
went to the house and Vaughan was
determined to give battle. The two
fought for several minutes in one OF
Monett's principal streets, and the
marshal says that in swaying back
and forth they broke down fence.
Vaughan received the heavy end of
this encounter and a blow above one
optic took much of the fight out OF
him. He was eventually subdued and
| brought back to the police station.

that he could slip of of the handouts

When questioned as to whether the
professor had tried to bring his hyp-
motto power into play during the long
journey to Keokuk the marshal stated
that he did not, but did not scorn the
prisoners ability in this line. In fact,
he stated that Monett police believe
that he has already a young girl in
that city under his control.
Vaughan is reticent about his plight,

against him. He says he can show a

her was borrowed and not obtained
