Served Sentence For Burglary.

The sheriff's force was Immediately
called into the case and suspicion at
once attached to Bowen After some
investigation by Sheriff Seaman and
Deputy Hooker it was found that
Bowen had at one time served SEN
tence for burglary in the reformatory
at Pontiac, being sent up from Chilli
Gothic. The officers Immediately set
out to trail the fugative and found
clues in Fort Madison, Burlington and
Chillicothe. They discovered that his
account at the Fort Madison hank
had been closed out the day after
the forgeries had been uncovered. BY
some clever work there it was found
that Bowen had been layishing money
on girl and that at present he was
laying low in Omaha, his funds hav-
ing been exhausted 1t also developed
that he cherished fondness for
gambling, pool playing and games of
chance. The officers, believing that
with his funds gone and the forgeries
still uncovered, as far as Bowen knew,
the criminal might return to this coun-
ty and attempt to put over another
job, traps being laid for him at his
haunts in Burlington, Fort Madison,
Stronghurst and other points. A trap
was laid in Stronghurst in antici-
patton of the fact that the fellow
might drop in there to see his rela-
tives who, it is said, reside in that
place. In the meantime Sheriff Sea
man made ready for trip to Omaha,
but when on the point of starting FIR
day night he received word from
Stronghurst that Bowen had been ar
rested there.

Steals a Bank Book.

Bowen was formerly farm hand
in the employ OF e. c. Nelson, and
when paid with checns on the First
State bank of Abingdon evidently
conceived the idea of making a grand
haul at the expense of his employer.
TO make his plan secure he stole the
bank book of MI Nelson to avoid
complications which might arise over
having the book balanced His opera
tons extended over several months
and the amounts secured were large.
The forgeries we're, it is said by ex-
perts, almost perfectly executed.
Bowens method was to bring the
checks to this city and present them
for payment at the First National
bank. take the money thus secured
and place it on deposit to his credit in
the German Savings bank at Fort
Madison. He also placed sum in
Chillicothe where he formerly resid
ed. Mr.. Nelson's funds on the check
ing account were exhausted and an
overdraft had been incurred Notice
of this overdraft was sent to Mr.. Nell
son August eighth, and not until that
time was the crime discovered In
the meanwhile Bowen had quietly
left the locality.

fight.

to make Middletown, N. Y, sixty-eight
miles from New York, his first stop
ping place, then he intended to make
dash for Susquehanna, and thence
