that left the same sum for Sanford San
ford SAYS that he was never in Rock Island
before.
In conclusion we might ssY that Mafshal
Mitsch is willing to swear that he saw San

burglary He will swear positively to this
effect Mr.. Murrin will also swear positive
" that Sanford is the man who sht him
Before tue shooting communced he and
Snyder walked several blocks with these
men, and the firing began almost under
gas.light, so they had Gn opportunity OF
knowing the men. Mr.. Snyder thinks San
ford is the man who was with them. In
fact with one exception, we believe, all our
city authorities are inclined to think that
Sanford is the man they are after, and that
the greatest care should be taken at the
hearing that the matter be sifted to the very
bottom. Of the persons whose athdavits
Mr.. Donnellan brought with him, nothing
whatever is known here. We had it stated
TO US that Gregg keeps brothel and Eager
a gambling house, but do not vouch for the
| statement, as we have no means OF know
ing whether it is true or not.
In conversation with us, and with citizens
on the streets iastevening, Gregg and Eagei
placed considerable stress on the fact thai
they did not desire TO secure the release o.
the three persons accused of the burglares
but only the release of one of them. They
granted tina. if they had desired to secure
the release of all, there might be some
grounds for our people regarding them will
suspicion. AS they wanted only one man
they should not lie under the opprobrium 0
la5oring in the interest OF thieves and burg
lars. To this it may be answered that tn
man whom they want is supposed to be JUS
the one the law most wants--the ma
charged with the commission of the creates
crime. His release secured, the other tw
would probably escape lightly, and the who
gang be once more loosed upon the CON
munity in due time. 1t is probable, how
ever, that Judge Peasants will be satishe
with the positive testimony of our police,an
will hold the prisoner
The remarks of the Union on the sub]e'

They constitute mere attempt to get up

TnE MOLINE DGFFCULTY.-The sum and
substance Of the Moline difficulty, which
came to n focus on Wednesday, is this;--
Some weeks ago the c. II. |. d P. Il. r. Co.
commenced putting down an additional track
IN street through that town. The Trustees
met, and resolved that an additional track
should not be laid by that company, and
that to prevent it, they would call out force
If necessary. The railroad company sus.
pended operotions temporarily, at the in.
stance Of some Of the prominent citizens,
who proposed to arrange the matter to the
satisfaction Of all parties. Nothing having
been done, the company commenced laying
track yesterdaJj and as threats of using
force had been made by the people, it was
thought proper to procure an injunction re-.
ssraining the town authorities or the people
from interfering with the operations. The
injunction, we understand was issued by
by Judge Roberts, of the Eleventh Judicial
Circuit, on an exhibit ola copy of the ord,
nance of the town of Moline, granting the
company the right to occupy the street on
which it is endeavoring to lay a track. The
record of the original ordinance is destroy.

Capt. Police.


He also stated that he had brought with
him letter to our Mayor, from the Mayor
of Chicago. This letter We have seen. It
is from the present acting Mayor. 1t has
nothing whatever to say in regard to the
prisoner 1t merely introduces Mr.. Don.
nellan as an alderman Of Chicago, and a
gentleman, and requests Mr., Buford to ex.
tend to him all the courtesies he can, con
sistent with his official duty.
In conversation with the City Clerk,
last evening, Mr.. DonneIlan stated that he
did not know anything about the prisoner,
and had never seen him in his life that he
knew Of. This is not in accordance with
Capt Hckeys statement. If a mere banjo.
player gets into trouble here, weare prompt.
cd to inquire what secret influence brings
en alderman from Chicago all the way to
this city to look after him, and mpels him
to e2pend good deal Of money for a man
he never saw. 1t is curious circumstance
He also informed the city clerk that Gregg
and Sanford had been room.mates.
Sheriff Drury informs us that Gregg and
Eager called at the jail last evening, and
left with him s. for Sanford, and So TO,
DanIap. They told US last evening tina,
they did not know Dunlap; then, why do
they give him money? Is it customary to
hand jailors Eve dollar bills for prisoners
whom the donors have never seen? We
think this is u very suspiouS circumstance
This morning We visited Sanford in ia,l
We asked him if he knew Alderman Don.
nellau. lie said he had heard Of him, but
had never been acquainted with him, and
did not know that be had ever seen him
We asked him how long he had been mar.
ried. He replied that he was not married.
Nevertheless his friends showed us a letter
which they said he had written 10 his wife,
He said also, that he had been in Chicago
since last September. He said that he
kne" Dunlap slightly. We asked him what
business Dunlap was in. He answered that
he "dd not do anything in particular. He
had seen him about saloon opposite the
concert hall great deal" Easer's drink. |
