FORDS STOLEN
FROM WARSAW
Two Automobiles Were Taken There
Saturday Night at Two
Different Times by
Thieves

Two Ford automobiles were $50 en-
at Warsaw Saturday evening. one at
9 or 10 o'clock. and the other sbout
2 o'clock Sunday morning.
The Keokuk police were asked to
look out for them, and Sheriff Ben
nett was here Sunday on the tail
Of the thieves.
One wore license No. 550ss, H.,
and had engine No. 2383515, and the
other had license No. 213612, Ill.
One belonged to man named
Neegle, living near Warsaw, and the
other to a man named Lane. who is
a resident Of that city.
Sunday afternoon the Keokuk drag
net investigation Of the shooting of
officer MCPHERSON turned up the
thieves who took one Of the cars in
the persons Of the young men wLo
robbed Jerry Stacks saloon at War
saw and left the Ford at Cedar Glen.
Another automobile was stolen in
Carthage Saturday night also.

MnPherson,s Wounds.

At the hospital, where Mcpherson
was seen quickly by the surgeons, he
was found to be suffering from very
great shock and very large hemor-
rhage.
The ball hit the large bone In the
upper arm about five inches below
the shoulder and literally shattered
the bone. A number of pieces were
removed and other pieces were left
in and coupled up to one another
again.
The bullet cut a large branch
artery from which came the great
hemorrhage and which had to be
tied when the surgeons got to the
wounded man.
The shot in the chest struck be-
low the left nipple and went around
the chest wall instead Of through the
chest, fortunately not penetrating the
lung. Had it gone straight through
1t would probably have been fatal,
and 1t might have niclSed the heart.
Mayor Lotion went to McPherson's
bedside very soon after the shooting
and gave orders for a special nurse
for him and that all possible for his
comfort should be done. He has the
best that that fine hospital affords.

tie light and to make profit ON his
goods and money. rearranged his store
and goods so that they attracted Gus
toners, and taught his clerks how to
become more efficient through being
courteous and attentive to the trade.
The lecture and pictures bring out

Found All Sorts Of Fish.
BEGINNING the Search for Men.

But nothing definite was accom-
plished, insofar as the identity of the
burglars of the clothing store who
shot Mcpherson is concerned.
The dragnet and quiz did turn up
the burglary of the Jerry Stack place
at Warsaw that same Saturday night,
which was unknown to Stack him
self until he was told Sunday after
noon. Some of the fish in the drag
net told about doing that job to prove
their alibi for the Mcpherson shoot
ing. fss
The robbery of the Montrose post
office earlier that same night also is
believed to bear on the crime here in
Keokuk 1t and the tools point to
travelling yeggmen being the crooks
wanted but that theory was not
allowed to govern the actions of the
officers too much in the investigation.
Without any sleep to speak Of
since Saturday morning, Chief Hen
neman worked far into Sunday night
and this morning. He said he is de-
termined to get the men who shot
Mcpherson sooner or later.

RIVER TOO OFTEN
Commissioner Sprowis Assists Them
in Their Endeaver to Break Into

Here.

James Roberts, one OF the negroes
who were picked up by Officer Lee
fever as they were boarding an out
bound train Friday night, with suit
cases that were too heavily laden to
get by without suspicion, had his luck
break against him after he had es-
capped the officers with his precious
cargo once. according to his story
told before United States Commits
sioner John S. Sprowls.
Roberts and his companion, Fred
Welsh, had gone from Galesburg to
Warsaw for some booze. They got
what they were after, and started
back to Galesburg with their supply
By way of Quincy, and got as far as
Canton when they decided to come
back to Keokuk and start over again.
1t was on their second start that they
were caught. AS a result Roberts was
bound over to the federal court and
faces sentence of six months in jail,
or a $1,000 fine, or both.
II had the whiskey and l might as
well plead guilty" he said when ne

Warsaw for their booze, and we just
thought that we would come up and
get some ourselves.
I'VE brought 1t over to Keokuk and
was going to Quincy to take the train
back to Galesburg. We just had
enough money to get to Canton, and
when we got there we decided to come
here again and see IL we couldn't Dor
row some money, or something, to get
home. When we got back here they
caught u.s."
According to the story Of the negro
the pair had violated the law three
times by entering the state. They got
out once, but their second thought
to come back and get new starts
what brought them to grief.
Roberts was bound over to the fed
eral court under a bond of $500. AS he
was unable to give bond he is now re.
siding at the county Jail. His COM
panion will be given a hearing today.

career at the tender age OF eleven IN

about how to run a newspaper. Inc

The women of Keokuk and the

work on this last quota for refugee
garments, but the knitting must con-
tinue until these $50 pairs of stock
ings are made.
This is one way the American
women can express their gratitude
for the safe and victorious return of

TWO STORE BURGLARS

Previously he had pried up the

but nothing more was disturbed
there.
A revolver which was found empty
in the alley turned out to belong to
Officer Mcpherson.
Chief Henneman, Commissioners
Hemmy and Mayor Lotion all turned
out of bed and actively engaged in
the hunt for the two criminals who
had shot Mcpherson.
Beginning the Search for Men.
Chief Henneman and Detective
Wilson with Officers Conn, Tigue and
LaFever, made a microscopic search
of the railroad yards, including every
car on the tracks, and searched the
weeds as far down as the Des
Moines river bridge.
In the meantime, both bridges had
been locked tight against unknown
men crossing them, and general
alarm sent out to neighboring towns
and the special agents of the rail
roads.
The only possible way for the men
to escape seemed to be to ride out
of Keokuk on freight train leaving
at once, or to walk out Main street
extension and the Red Ball trail, the
latter being hardly practicable.
BY morning, the dragnet thrown
out had brought in number of pris-
oners held for investigation, with
more or less suspicious circumstances
pointing toward their knowledge of
the burglary and shooting. County
Attorney McManus was on the job
early giving them all his now famous
quiz. These men were kept sepa-
rated, some in the city Jail and some
in the county Jail.
Sunday was Their Busy Day.
Sunday, Chief Henneman came
down from Fort Madison with a man
arrested there at 4 o'clock Sunday
morning who is twenty-seven years
old and one of the dozen long and
short men held for investigation, but
he is innocent and was released.
1t was a busy day Sunday for
Chief Henneman and County Attor-
ney McManus. Mayor Lotion, Com
missioner Kenny, Sheriff Scott and
Deputy Sheriff Montgomery were all
helping in the work.
With prisoners separated in both
city and county Jail, they were
examining them at both places and
occasionally taking man from the
one to the other as the exingencies
of the great game of hide and seek
went on. The man caught in any lie
became instantly of the deepest in
terest to the investigators. The first
object was to get the right men and
then get them dead to rights, or in a
situation where it would be best for
them to confess as did the murderers
of Harry Inman and the Engelhardt
burglar to the county attorney.

That sounded so natural, that the
reporter rubbed his eyes to make sure
that II really was a prisoner In Jail
talking. Almost those Identical words
are spoken at the desk of the city
eoitor OF The Gate City almost every
day by people who never have been
in jaii-but who want the newspaper
to confine its statements to what
they choose to tell it. And Robert
Lowery, of the long police record went
on talking Just like some other people
who never had q record:
Now IL you had come to me
could have told you lot more about
myself than the police can. They want
to make 1t look like q man Is
crook. and they have him convicted IN

and he proceeded TO point out details
that are so familiar in a newspaper
office, such as telling private business
to the public, publishing what some
body wants kept secret, exposing
plans we'll laid, and all the rest OF 1t.
that people out OF Jail talk about
every day.
And in that he had struck a respon-
sive cord in the hearts Of his fellow
prisoners who were present at his leo
ture on newspaper ethics. for each OF
them went to his bunk where he had
come copies which had played up his
u.isdeeds to the curious public and
proceeded to point out where his pri-
vacy had been invaded. That what
was printed did not suit their own
game was the chorus Of the Jail birds,
and what had started out to be lee

sion.
The reporter could listen to one OF

on the chorus, that was too much OF
