Notorious Horse Thief Captured in LeMars
Sheriff Herron of Plymouth County nabbed the man who hired a horse and phaeton from Jack Heath’s livery in LeMars and failed to return it. The suspect gave the name William Downs but refused to reveal his previous residence. In LeMars he used the alias Mc Dowell and drafted for 3345.45 in two banks on Knott & Son of Wavers, then cashed no money. The sheriff calls him a dangerous crook and seeks further information. A separate legal point faces Marshalltown district court over a Chicago Great Western sidetrack dispute with the glucose company. The case asks whether land rights were relinquished or if the Northwestern can block another rail line from crossing the strip.
