The cutters at the Huiskamp Broth

signed by T. Feuser. chairman OF the
shoe cutters committee:
After reading the article in last

Huiskamp Brothers factory have
come to the conclusion that there has
been Misrepresentation of facts in
as far as their side of the story Is
concerned. The first claim that hr.
Erhart makes In ihs statement is
that two cutt.rs from ST. Louis asi-
,ated and started this trouble, is not
true. The bare facts of the case are
that the wages paid out by Mr.. Ell
hart in his cutting room are an I'M
possible living wage. And that SEEM
to he the main reason why there Is
trouble. The cutters of Keokuk held
a meeting Monday, September 2s, ana
decided that they would at least ask
for a living wage which they thought
the firm would at least consider.

Two Hamilton Men Were
Robbed of $185 Before
Large Crowd at Ham
ilton Junction.
HIDING IN CORN FIELD
Men Who Were Robbed Did
Not Miss Money Until
Criminals Had Made
Their Escape.

! Crowded into a corner against a
street car at the Hamilton junction
at 1890 this afternoon, James Kin
caid of Hamilton, was relieved Of q
pocketbook containing $165 and M. E..
Russell of Hamilton, was robbed In
the same manner of $40 before the
two robbers made their escape into a
cornfield next to the junction.
The field, which lies between the
junction, the wagon road. and the
railroad track, is now surrounded by
a large number of men while others
are searching through the place in
an effort to locate the highwaymen.
Efforts are being made to secure
some bloodhounds to place on the
trail, as it is realized that If the two
men are not taken before dark it will
be almost impossible to prevent their
escaping.
Were Waiting for Car.
Mr. Kincaid and his wife were wait
ing in large crowd at the junction
to catch street car for Warsaw.
Kincaid was separated from his wife

him under the pretext Of being crowd
ed. Before Kincaid had realized what
VS. done to him his pocketbook had
been taken from his hip pocket. While
being jostled by the men he had att
tempted to break loose from them
but they had restrained him. He
swore at them and struggled free.
AS soon as he got away from them
the two men jumped on car stand
ing at the switch. but climbed out on
the other side and made into the corn
field A few minutes later Kincaid
discovered his loss and spread the
alarm. One man on the car remem-
bered having seen the men climb out
OF the car and run into the field. AS
soon as he had been told OF this
large band of men surrounded the
field and it is believed they had not
been able to get away from there be-
fore 4 o'clock.
The police at Hamilton and this
city we're notified OF the robbery ana
are doing what they can to assist IN
capturing the thieves.

through correspondence, misrepre-
senting the positions by stating

much as $21 per week, which is an

we can prove and verify each and
every statement and we defy Mr.. Err
hart to prove otherwise. Thirdly, MT.
Erhart claims that he is paying the
topmost prices for the cutting OF his
shoes, that is one Of the main rea-
sons and objects he had in inserting
any statement at all to the press.
The facts are that Mr.. Erhart is
not only getting this grade OF shoes
cut from so to 100 per cent cheaper
but he is practically getting his shoes
cut from 2 to foot of leather less
ner dozen than any otheT firm in tbs
country. Now with leather so high
in any market, leather selling from 20
to csc per foot, the saving OF four
feet per dozen would at least mean a
saving of about $100 to the dozen
pairs of shoes to the Huiskamp Bros.
firm. Now he pays about. forty cents
to have that dozen air cut, practical
" a gain on labor expenses OF sixty
cents on that dozen, he is getting his
shoes cut for nothing when this is
fully realized.

After holding conference with NV.

formed us it would be out of his pow.

Erhart in regard to the matter. The
committee then decided that they
would give Mr.. Erhart until noon to
make a reply. Mr.. Erhart was under
the impression that the room was un.
organized. The cutting department is

conductor on the line between
this city and Warsaw stated today at
Hamilton Junction following the dis
covery of Kincaid's loss that man
on his car last night discovered his
pockets had been picked clean when
he went to pay his fare The man
had not missed his loss before that
time and said he had no idea when
his money had been taken from him.
The conductor who told the story
had not learned the name of the man
who had been relieved Of his cash
and also did not learn how much had
been taken from him.
It Is evident that there are quite
number of pick pockets and other
criminals working the celebration.
The large crowds and lack of ample
police protection makes the celebra-
ton a rich field for them to work In.
The mayor and number Of citizens
from Hamilton drove to this city IN
mediately after the robbery at the
junction and held consultation with
Chief Kenney. It was at first believ-
ed that one OF the men might have
been able to reach this city. Reports
that they had boarded car and
reached Warsaw were also made.
Little hope Of their capture is held
A number of other minor thefts have
been reported to the police Of War
