Black Hawk National Bank, owes the
government 81 just because some
INSCRIPTIONS person with more time
than money raised 81 bill to IS and
go. away with it. The person who did
it evidently needed the money very

bills which We're torn and dirty, and
which were sent to the treasury de-
partment to be replaced by new ones.
When they arrived the work was dis
covered by men in the mint, and the
bill returned to Mr.. knoop. together

Cedar Rapids.
Assault which almost resulted in the
death Of 16- year old Wilbur Miller Of
Lisbon was the cause OF the arrest OF
Jack Bever, also of Lisbon, who Is held
in the city Jail awaiting arraignment.
Bever was brought to Cedar Rapids by
Special Agent James Risden and Dep
uty Sheriff Yves Vondracek and faces
q charge of assault with intent to do
great bodily injury The case was
brought to the attention Of the local
men when the Miller boy recovered
from two days period Of unconscious
ness and was able to tell his story. Pre-
vious to that time absolutely no action
peace officers. Miller was assaulted
Tuesday night on the platform Of the
Northwestern station while in COM
rany with 0rval Cole. another boy OF
his own age. Mistaken identity is be-
lieved to have caused the attack, as
there was no known ehmity between
the man and the boy. Bever and sew
eral Of his companions had gathered at
the station to receive election returns
when the boys appeared According
to the story of the Cole boy, who was
also beaten but who made his escape,
Bever sprang at them from behind the
freight house door and felled Miller
with one blow. Cole was struck in the
neck and fed. For two days Miller
was unconscious, and he is still suffer-
ing from the effects OF the blow. 1t Is
probable that he will lose an eye as a
result. Although Bever's companions
admit that the boys were assaulted as
the result Of mistaken identity, Bever
stcadfastly denies any implication In
the affair
