The worst gang Of toughs that ever
infested town is now diligently at
work in Ottumwa. They keep at 1t
day and night and seem satisfied with
anything they can lay their hands on
from fifty cent piece on up. They are
on the streets, in the stores, on the
fair grounds, everywhere in fact. No
one seems safe and while few have
been caught, the greater number still
are plying their thievish tricks. A
number Of people lost their purses yes.

Superintendent Thomas Phillips of
the Whitebreast Fuel Co. went out to
Cleveland this morning where he is
having fourteen houses torn down, six
Of which he is moving to keb and
eight to Forbush. Keb Is now one Of
Ottumwa's bustling suburbs and the
demand for houses Is increasing every
day. The company has about thirty
houses up and other parties have
about the same number, all of which
are occupied. The coal output at both
these stirring towns is continually In
creasing. At Keb they are getting 300
tons per day and at Forbush 200 tons.
Elmer Coombs, who has been con-
fined to his room for two weeks, was

still looks somewhat shaky, but 1t Is
hoped he may soon regain his usual
smile.
