A BUTCHERS BREAK.

Moline is at present INDUCING in a
small sized panic. During the past month
three well known firms have gone under
and to-day the fourth one gives up the
fight. Henry Walters the gentleman who
bought out Robt. Ellis and who has been
running a meat shop on Henry street is
financially embarrassed. 1t was generally
thought that he was doing s
safe business, development indicates
to the contrary and it seems
that Mr.. Walters is pretty badly swamped.

D number of other cattle dealers are cred
itors for various amounts, and the liabih-
ties of Mr.. Walters will prove q great deal
more than the assets The shop is now
in the hands of the deputy sheriff and the
stock which it contains will probably be
closed out under the hammer, 1t is to be
deplored that the business men of Moline
are becoming so unfortunate.

KIND WOODS FOB JUDGE PLKAsANrs.

Judge Peasants on the bench, with all

ZIG FIND
From the springneld Register

H0H1 tAG Gkskku&4S&AA Ac&s5Arh =
Not since the robbery of Klaholt's jew
elry store has there been so much excite
ment as was created last evening by the
annoifncement that the stolen goods, or
the greater part of them, had been found
in the old graveyard, en- West Adams
street The news seemed almost too
good to be true, and great number of
people fiocked to the store TO ascertain
the facts in the matter. It was true,
however. Two large satchels full of
watches and jewelry. believed to embra-
&c nearly every thing that was stolen,
with the exception of the diamonds, had
been found. The next point of interest
OF course, was the manner in which they
had been found, which proved to be sub
stantially as follows: During the after
noon two boys Frank Pierce and John
Hallihan, rummaging around in the
graveyard in question, and one of them
came across a little box, which, upon be
ing opened, was found to contain a ring
Soon afterwards piece of tin was turn
ed over, and two small boxes were found
These proved to be jewelry cases. and
had Mr.. Klaholt's name in them. One
of the lads-young Pierce, we believe.
took them home and showed them to his
mother, and she directed him to take
them to Mr.. Klaholt at once. He did as
directed, and Mr.. Klaholt Immediately
communicated the discovery to Mr.. Pat
ten. A search of the graveyard was sug
gested, aud Mr.. Patten, Mr.. Klaholt and
Jones, student of the former, at once
set forth upon voyage of discovery, in
high state of excitement. On one
side of the graveyard, about twenty feet
from the fence, was found an old vault,
built of limestone, and with slab lying
scross the top of it, This slab had cor
ner broken off of it, and through an
opening thus made a view of the interior
of the vault was obtained. 1t was at
once seen that it contained something,
and that something was not ''spook. !"
The slab was removed by the joint efforts
of the three men, and there were found
two leather satehels, couple of rubber
overcoats and pair of overalls. These
were taken in triumph down to the Office
of Patton s. Hamilton, and the satchels
were there opened, and found to contain
as above stated, nearly or quite all the
stolen goods, with the exception of the
diamonds. They were piled in promis-
cously. and some pieces of jewelry were
found in the lot from which the
diamonds had been cut. 1t is hoped that
this find will finally lead to the arrest of
the robbers and the discovery of the miss
ing diamonds, the value of which Mr..
Klaholt estimates at something like 81,
600.
