ago one of the clerks discovered an
empty box that was supposed to
have contained shoes. Investigation
revealed that there we're twenty-nine
pairs or Shoes missing, besides a
large amount of other merchandise,
the exact amount of which cannot
be determined. A valuable fur was
found in OSkalOOsa by the officers
after having been sold to an O5kalOO-
sa man named Motto. One of the
members of the firm identified the
fur as the kind he kept in stock
Sheriff Grimes, Of KeOkuk county,
was notified of the robbery and he
communicated with the OskaloOsa
police. In the meantime one of the
victims Of the roundup told where
the shoes Of the Delta robbery could
be found The officers went to What

were searched. Five pairs Of shoes
were found, the numbers on which
exactly correspondent with the num-
bers on the empty boxes found in the
Lambert & Vernon store. COvan is
said to have made a series of eXcus-
es and it is probable that he will face
a charge of concealing stolen goods
unless he tells all he knows.

ed of this crime.
Russell Bank Robbery.
An attempt was made to rob the
bank at Russell, Ia, a short time
ago and evidence shows that the
three men now in Jail were in Rus
sell shortly before the attempted
robbery. Slick" Stearns, a Russell
character. claims that he was
caught by the robbers and tied in the
bank while they worked on the safe,
Stearns was brought to Oskaloosa
TO identify the men as being the ones
that tied him on the night of the
robbery. After being brought to Os-
kaloosa Stearns said that he was
tied with his head down and did not
get a good look at the men. For this
reason he was unable to identify
them.
The Attempt at Tracy.
The bank at Tracy, only fourteen
miles west Of here, was attempted
on the night of December Sth. The
safe was not blown entirely open
and no money was secured. The rea,
son for the robbers leaving when the
safe was nearly opened is not known
They might have exhausted their
supply of nitro-glycerine, or one OF
! the band might have been injured, as
blood stains on the floor might indi
cate. Following the attempt the
"yeggs" were traced to a nearby rail
road shed, where they secured q
hand-car. From Tracy they Went
east to a point east of the bridge
over the Des Moines river, where
they ditched the car. 1t is the theory
of the detectives that from the hand
car they might have walked to the
Sanford Beadle hut, which is only {
about nine miles.
