BANDITS TELL
OF PLAN TO ROB
ANOTHER B ANK
LeMars Robbers Confide il
Sheriff GroneWeg Scheme
To Loot Sioux City
Banking House.

If the five LeMars bank robbers
had not been promptly captured
after their sensational escape from
Jail they would have carried out
their plans to rob the First National
bank at Sioux City, and might have
been successful, for the plan they had
perfected had in it the elements OF
success. The plan was confidential
ly detailed to Sheriff w. A. Grone-
veg while with other officers he
was taking the prisoners to Fort
Madison, Ia, to begin life terms.
Sheriff Groneweg returned to
Council Bluffs yesterday after hav-
ing been actively engaged since Sat-
urday in the capture and conviction
of the bandits. Four sheriffs, Grone-
veg of Council Bluffs, w. H. Jones
of Woodbury. county, Henry Har-
low of Monona county and M. D.
Meyers of Harrison county, and
State Agents Jim Risden and P. Van
Wagner constituted the squad of
officers who conveyed the bandits
from LeMars to Fort Madison.
Planned Escape in Auto.
The plan had been in process of
construction for several weeks and
details were completed. Two of the
five men, Lee Darlington, w. Gull
len, James O'Keefe, Harry Smith
and William Convey, were to enter
the bank at the opening hour in the
morning, make a deposit and stall
around until they were sure the
vault had been opened. Then they
were to signal the three others, who
were quietly to enter the bank,
stick up their two companions and
the bank officials, rob the vault and
escape to a nearby highpowered
car and drive by a eircuitous route
to a designated place where the
other two would meet them in an
other car and carry them in another
direction, while the first car would
be driven away and abandoned. The
plan provided for several similar re-
lay cars that would leave a battling
trail for officers to follow.
GroneWeg Heads Hunt.
Sheriff Groneweg was placed in
charge of the man hunt by direction
of Attorney General Havner's rep
resentative, Risden, and he directed
the pursuit that led to the capture
10 miles from LeMars Monday
noon. 1t is not true that the ban
dts robbed deaf and dumb couple
and this left clue that led to their
capture, Sheriff Groneweg says, and
he lays the blame of that robbery to
hoboes.
After breaking jail Friday night,
the bandits headed for the country,
the sheriff says. In crossing deep
ravine all five of them stepped into
water waist deep. 1t turned freez-
ing cold and several of them suf-
fered frosted feet and all were
chilled to exhaustion. They had
nothing to eat from Friday to Mon
day and the long fast further weak
ened them. When finally captured
there was no fight in them.
Had Outside Aid.
The men said the two revolvers
used in the attack on Sheriff Max
we'll and his son were put into the

DOESN'T OPPOSE REGULATION.
But Does Oppose Discretionary Powers to
Officials to Make Laws.

Washington D. c., Aug. 2s.-Attacks
on the Kenyon and Kendrick bills for
regulation Of the packing industry were
renewed to-day before the Senate agri-
cultural committee. f. NJ. Ammons, for
mer governor of Colorado, headed del
egation of IL cattlemen from that state
in opposition to the legislation.
I'm not opposed TO regulation by
law" Mr. Ammons said, "but / am op-
posed to laws which give discretionary
powers to officials to make laws.
'If you want to divorce packers from
ownership Of refrigerator cars-I think
you might as well take away their deiiv-
cry wagons-pass law and say so.
Don't let somebody have power to say
whether they ought TO own them, and
how many they ought to have,
"The same for stockyards.
"0ur experience is that when yards
are owned by people interested in the
business we get more facilities and more
competition than when someone owns
them Just for investment.
''Nor do | think you ought by license
to control market news for that is not
freedom of the press. Make laws against
circulating misinformation more strin-
gent. That will be enough. But make
all your regulations in law so that ev-
cry man can have day in court before
being penalized."
"Do you think there are any evils in
the packing industry we ought to cor.
rectf" asked Senator RansdeIl Democrat,
Louisiana.
"There may be, but know of none"

Since Aug. II.

Burlington, Aug. 2S.-The steamer Ii
eonderoga was removed from Point au
Fer reef yesterday morning and pro-
ceeded under her own power to the dry
dock in Shelburne harbor, where the nee
essary repairs to her hull viii be made.
The vessel struck the reef, while carrying
nearly 400 excursionists Sunday, Aug. II,
tearing a hole in her hull on the star
board side, the passengers being taken
ashore in life boats.
A large force of men were put to
work under James r. eastman of this
city, who also employed divers. The
workers have been handicapped by south,
west gales and also by the fact that the
accident occurred far from the base of
supplies but they succeeded in temporari-
" patching the rent on Sunday.
1t cannot be told yet just how much
damage was done but this will be as
certained when the steamer is run into
dry dock. The company officials will
then be able to state when the steamer
is likely to be again put into service.
