which seats 1000. is situated In a hol.
low and is thanked on three sides by
high bluffs. Water poured down the
hillsides in torrents. Gradually the
theater began to fUl and as the water
rose the people sought higher seats.
With a roaring sound. the waters
poured in until the orchestra pit was
filled. The piano was set afloat, and
the water began to inundate the stage.
In his bewilderment an Unknown man.
wading about on the stage, stepped off
into the orchestra pit and was narrow

there was over a mans head. Tho

Keokuk, Aug. 22.-What Is believed
to be one Of the most important cap
tures in tho criminal history Of Keokuk,
was effected yesterday in Danville, ILL.,.
when J. H. Coleman. wanted in Keokuk
for the past six years, was finally run
to earth and lodged in the Danville
jail. An officer was sent yesterday
evening for Danville to bring Coleman
back to this city, where he will have
to answer numerous indictments on the
charges of forgery and fraud. He was
living under the assumed name Of D
J. Hill in Danville when arrested.
Up to about six years ago, when
Coleman severed his connection with
this community and left for parts un-
known, he had been In business in
keokuk, his speciality being trading
He dabbled in real estate and was al
ways ready for almost any kind Of q
dicker. His fraudulent speculationAs In
and around Keokuk, it is said, Melted
Coleman and his pals very comfort
able fortune, the exact dimensions OF
which will probably never be known
1t Is stated that one party, man
named Brown, from near Alexandria
was heeced of something like $4,000
by Coleman and his confederates, while
numerous other parties were fleeced
but on smaller scale.
Forgery IN I'm portant Factor.
Thru the assistance Of confederates
and local men who are thought to have
believed the man was on the square
Coleman would make the acquaintance
of some we'll to do farmer and would
make trade or two, usually in real
estate, and the farmers share Of the
proceeds would more than meet the
farmers expectations. Then Coleman
would go to some remote part Of the
country, buy q tract Of worthless land
for ridicuously low figure When Of
fering the deed for record, Coleman
would name false figure. something
like $55 or $50 an acre as the price he
had paid for the land. Then Coleman
would dispose Of the land to a confed
crate for very gratifying advance
over the price he would represent as
having paid for it. and this price would
accordingly be shown by the deed. The
confederate would then mortgage the
land back to Coleman for stipulated
figure Of something like $40 an acre
and the fraudulent mortgage was duly
recorded. Then with deed and mort
gage. Coleman would approach his pro-
posed victim. usually at figure that
would attract the farmer as a mighty
good investment. and the sale would
be contaminated with the separation
Of the farmer and his coin. In other
cases Coleman would borrow money on
the land and give1the deed as security
for the loan.- When big deal was
pulled of. Coleman and his confeder-
ates would vamoose. The seals OF
notarys public would be forged. along
with other necessary seals and sigma
lures. It is the above fraudulent
manipulation that is said to have been
worked on Brown.
