The money was wrapped up in the
presence of Carman, but Sherwood
just then remembered that his wax
was in the other room and stepped
through the door. Returning, he in
sisted that Mrs. Hamper take the
package and hold it for safekeeping
until today, when the crystal gazer
was to point out the estate. The
tightly sealed package was to be worn
about her neck in a leather bag,

at Sherwood's room yesterday morn
ing. But he was not there. The
landlady, Mrs T. X. Renwick, had not
seen him since Thursday. At last be

C. S. Smith, Sheriff,
Madison, Nebraska.
Thinks They're Amateurs.


That shorty" the bank robber be-
lieved to have been wounded in the
battle at Norfolk Junction Sunday
night, is still lurking in the corntields
near Norfolk, is the belief of Sheriff
Clint Smith. But that it is useless to
search further, because it is like hunt
ing for a needle in a haystack, is the
verdict of the sheriff and bank detec-
tive.
1t is believed the other two men
have made their escape from this vi
cinity and that they and Shorty"
probably have some meeting place at
which they will assemble. Such
good description has been obtained of
the three that Sheriff Smith thinks
they will be eventually apprehended.
The four cracksmen were amateurs,
the sheriff thinks. If they had been
experts, he argues they would not
have failed at both Oakdale and Mead
ow Grove. They apparently didn't
know how to place the dope" the
robbers word for nitro-glycerine. And
the bank detective says the dope"
was poor quality, having too much
water in it.
From the skeleton keys found on the
man in Jail here, it is believed they
were mere burglars and just getting
educated into the bank robbing game.
Slavin was taken to the county jail
at Madison Wednesday.
A man answering to the description
of Shorty" was seen near the Boche
camp, but disappeared.
Slavin's hearing will be held before
Judge Bates Thursday.
