lous Men Here, But They Are
Wrong Parties.

]. P. Fleming, of New Boston, came
to keokuk this morning on what prov
ed to be a wild goose chase. Fleming
was on the trail of three men whom
he believed to have stolen his launch.
but the three men he trailed over town
this morning proved to be the wrong
parties and no arrests were made
here.
Fleming received word that the
launch. with three men aboard. pass
ed Burlington yesterday noon, headed
for the south. The Keokuk police
were notified and a lookout was kept
on the bridge during the night, but
the men and the launch failed to put
in an appearance
Fleming said he heard the launch
had been anchored between Burling-
ton and Montrcse and left this after
noon for Montrose. When he landed
in Keol1uk this morning he spotted
three men coming up from the direc-
ton of the river, and Fleming conclud-
ed they might know something OF the
boat. He accompanied Officer Pear.
son to where the men were, after fol-
lowing them some time. but they sat
isfied everyone that they were not the
men wanted.

Some lands above Montrose are
similar to those in Green Bay, and
Wilson Noles of Montrose has been
acquainted with them for twenty-nine
years, he said. He inspected the
Miller land recently and said $50 an
acre Is about right as a price for it
now, although constant overflows
make it difficult to estimate. He said
the LOOMS island is worth s25 or $50.

John p Kennedy, Of Montrose for
the last ffty-one years, told about
low lands above Montrose similar to
the Green Bay lands, with which he
is familiar and his examination OF

better land than any OF Miller's for
$3.50 per acre. The Steingraber

The LOOMS land he gave market
value of SIS an acre.
