The Arrest OF Dewey Dimock,
| On the arrival of Dewey Dimock, at the
ldepot, Thursday evening, the marshal was
ordered by the mayor to conduct the pris.
Eoner to Rock Island, As soon as it became
definitely known that he was here, and
ACTUALLY in the hands Of the law, his
friends went to work to raise bail and have
him released. Ben c. Keator and w. e..
Morris were principal among those most
active in his behalf About $50 o'clock
A, +. Swander, Esq.,, police magistrate,
made out the bond, which was signed By
ID. W. Dimock, d. W. Gould, w. G. Nor.
ris, Ben @. Keator and eight others. He
was then brought home by his friends and
is at present in the city. 1t is not at al
likely that he will be criminaily pun
ished. The money due the city will, nc
doubt, be made up by his friends, and thai
will be the end of it. The social STANDING
lof Dewey, and his wealthy connections
will save him from Jail. IF, as is the gen
eral opinion, the case is compromised. hi
should live it out right here in Moline
: Let him resolve to quit all his past bai
habits, throw off his evil associates, anc
commence life anew. 1t will be hard tasl
and will hurt at first. At times it will lool
dark and obscure, but, by courageou
efforts, it can be made to win, and is thu
only correct way to remove the stigm;
that now hangs over him. Nor does thil
reformation want to be onlyipartial either
, to be successful it must be thorough ant
] complete. The many friends of Dewey
, 10 such an event, will help HIM and urg
, him on; but, on the contrary, should h
leave the town and hunt some obscur,
3 place, the scandal will surely follow him, an,
J the reflections of the past will forever crow,
: upon him and be living torment. Hi
[ friends-(not the well-me
! kind" have given him the opportunity t
: live down the opprobium that rests o.
Z him; they haye extended the helping hand
and are willing and able to render sub
stantial aid. 1t rests with him to accep
r or reject their kind offers. The forme
course will win-the latter can never b
less than lifelong regret. The way i
open-let him select the path he in
tends to travel in.
