charge for highway robbery, for which
probable cause was found and was held
in $1,000 bonds and for carrying con-
cealed weapons he was fined $40 and
costs. 1t is understood that when the
grand jury sits another charge of
highway robbery will be brought
against him. The robbery for which
Cowan is now in Jail was committed
Sunday night at North Deering. The
five boys were on their way home from
church Cowan got SIP from them.
He also held up some other boys a
short time afterwards. The case was at
once reported to the police and the cap
ture of Cowan by Sergeant Fred
Small of the police department fol-
lowed.
