Rumor Among Third Iowa Ohieers
Who Returned Today, Points
to Such Service.

According to word received today
from an authoritative source In Des
Moines, the officers of the Third
Iowa regiment, which returned today
from the border, expect the soldiers
to be sent to Rock Island, ILL.,, to
guard the arsenal. or to Keokuk to
look after the Keokuk lock. dam and
power plant.
That troops will be ordered to
guard the Rock Island arsenal IN
case of war is not to be doubted, for
the government has extensive NUM-
lions plant at that point and 1t Is an
ideal inland situation for an arsenal.
AZ to tho Keohuk part oil the
rumor, it is generally believed mere
that should troops be sent 1t would
be only as matter of precaution
against possible attacks by cranks
who might try to start something,
although this is not considered as a
very probable situation.
It is understood that secret service
operatives have arrived in Keokuk
but their errand can only be sur
missed.
