which H. E. Root had laft l ( th'ere
upon closing up , that belonged to

the , principal in the burglary and
gave § 25 to Cecil Coryell as his " 1
share . and kept the remainder. . I
Shorty was known I to be broke . .
and had been trying to borrow
money from friends without suc-
cess : previously and was seen to
have ; money after , so suspicion
pointed to him'and Charley Rose
playedPinkerton" to get him to
lr' nk' a little and flash his money
and , "throwed in with him" .so to I
speak ; until such time as they were I
ready to sp'ring the trap. * They '
knew Cecil had been with him a"hd
I
got him to confess and finally I
when Shorty was landed , in tl-.e'
caliboose was confronted with
Cecil's confession and he also con
fe & sed. Most of the money . was
recovered. Wilson's age is given
as 26 and Coryell's , as 16. :

G. A. Chapman t down to his
old home at Onawa , Ia. , to eat Xmas
dinner with his mother , tbe first
time in ' 15 years. , He says weather
conditions are not half so bad here

in the fields laying down , and peo-
ple can hardly get fo ' town or travel.

Write it 1910 beginning Satur-
day , and ' we wish all our readers a
happy and prosperous New Year.
The past year has been the most
prosperous for THE VALENTINE DE JCI-
CRAT that we have known in busi
ness done during the - year. Our
job work has never had such a' I I
heavy run and the business patron-
age has never been better.
