D.tnseIoas Criminals.

Scion, Ia, Nov. 2O.-Deputy Sher-
if SIEVE McCook of Iowa city was
III SCION Satul day afternoon and
took with HIM to Iowa City Joe
Dvorak and Harley Miller as being
susl ects in the black hand mystery
which has been such a puzzle to local
officers and all citizens for the past
several mont.s. Whether Harley
Miller was arrested or was just taken
as a witness is not known.
The circumstances which led to
the arrest of Joe Dvorak, was that
when the last black hand" letter
! was placed in the post Office some
time Friday night, a United States
detective, who has been IN this To-
cality for sometime, was Immediately
lion the scene early saturday morn
ing and he placed blood hound on
the trail and the dog followed the
scent down an alley, up another
street or two, finally stopping at a
saloon building which has been used
lor sometime by Dvorak. The dog
was again placed at the post Office,
Were LIE onCe more covered the
same route. The saloon building was
then en- .ered an the dog, after go
ing back of the bar to a desx, made
mis- way to the rear of the build ng,
where Mr.. Dvorak was in bel. The
dog did not follow the trail farther
so iowa City officers were immediate
ly notified and they arrived in the
afternoon and placed Dvorak under
arrest as stated above. Miller was
in the same room with Dvorak when
the detective entered with the dog.
Whether Miller will be implicated re-
mains to be seen. An Iowa City even
ing paper of Saturday stated that
two ad .itional warrants had been
issued but so far as is known here
no further arrests have been made.
The outcome of the case is await
ed with deep interest as John l..
Adams, who has received all of the
black hand letters, is one of the
wealthiest and most highly respected
citizens of Johnson county.
