Robbery.

The Taylor House. Rock Island, was
robbed last night. or early this morning. f
money and valuables amounting to $lO5,
BY young man who has been for some
time past in the employ of the hotel as
night clerk and porter. The thief is small
in statue and a cripple-his head being
cramped to one side-boyish looking,
smooth face, dark hair and eyes, and
poor talker His eyes are somewhat rest
less, avoiding the gaze of anyone, and his
weight probably $50 pounds. The circum-
stances of the robbery are as follows: Mr..
J. P. Taylor, the proprietor of the hotel,
settled bill with one of his boarders last
night, and just as he finished. was called
away. Without stopping to lock the
drawer, an inyariable custom, he went 10
the parlor. and there remained. forgetting
about the open drawer, and going to bed
without returning to the Office. La the
drawer he had left unlocked was another
kew which fitted drawer used by John
Hoar, the day clerk, so that the thief had
full access to all the cash in the Office
The fellow is known to have been about
the office at o'clock. for at that hour he
showed man to a room, and then came
down stairs, and was heard walking about
the office by Mr.. Titcomb b, who is nursing the
unfortunate man who had an arm amputat-
ed, and who is being cared for at the Taylor
House. This was probably 2:30 this
morning, and was the time, probably when
the robbery was committed. The dis
covery was not made however, until this
morning, about 6:l5 o'clock, when Charles
Weatherwax, of the American Express
Co., who boards at the Taylor House,
came as is his usual custom for breakfast,
and was surprised to find the fire 10 the
sitting room out, and no one up about the
house. Surprising that they had oversight,
Charley began ringing the bell and ma ling
as much noise as possible to awaken those
about the house, and finally succeeded In
bringing Mr.Taylor and John Hoar the day
clerk to the Office. Investigation followed
and it was discovered that the Office had
beer robbed Of $50 in cash from the
drawer; new over2ost belonging to John
Hoar. silver watch, which had been left
as security for board. two revolvers, red
scarf and pair of mits, the whole valued
at $l05.
Search was made for the porter, and as
he oould got be found, he was at once fixed
upon as the thief. His aame is Will FL.
Schwion.
Information was at once given to the
police and active search Instituted for the
missing thief AS he is so markedly de-
formed It Is probable that he will be caught.
The theory is that he haa help in the
