Disappointed Again.
The marshal who "located" Burglar Jones at Centerville, Ia., last week lost no time in having his prisoner photographed and sending the picture to the sheriff's office here. Of course it was not the man so badly wanted in Cheyenne, although the likeness was quite striking to one acquainted with the great Jones.
A glance settled the fact that the officer who made the arrest was mistaken. The chase after the industrious burglar has not been abandoned yet, and the officers are confident that he will soon be apprehended.
