This morning Marshal Miller and Officer
Feeley did very clever stroke of detec-
tive work in the arrest of two young fell
lows charged with burglary. A few of our
citizens are aware that Mr.. r. Il. Gable is
the owner of some valuable imported pig
cons, few of which are valued at about
$15 pair, none of them at less than 50
each. Mr.. Herman Buntenback, confec-
toner, doing business on Fourth avenue,
between Tenth and Eleventh streets. also
owns quite a number of equally choice
birds. In some manner two young chaps
of this city, to police records no
strangers, who are known as Twig
Smith and Henry Flynn, became
aware of the fact that these birds were
kept in this city and they decided upon a
change of proprietorship. forthwith.
To that end at late hour last night,
when all honest men and boys were pre-
sumably in bed, this precious pair re-
paired to Mr.. Cables premises and having
obtained ingress to the barn by means of
window proceeded to unlawfully pos
sess themselves of eleven of Mr.. Cables
imported pets-the WHIT lie valued at not
less thar about $50. Then they visited
Mr.. Buntenback's barn, picked the lock
the eof and came away with eleven of
his birds, also. Thus far they felt that
they were all right and flattered them
selves that the theft would be securely
treasured in their own bosoms. Unfor-
tunately for them, however. they called
on Messrs. Walter Day and Ed Murphy,
night watchmen at the Buford pillow
works, to whom they sold the entire re
suit of their nights raid, at what price is
not known. With this clew Marshal
Miller and Officer Feeley went on the
war path and fortunately found the two
thieves abed. They were required to ex-
change accommodations at once. and
after having been taken to the Armory.
| Marshal Miller preferred a complaint
against them for burglary before Squire
Chopper. The property was all recovered
and the thieves will probably go over
the road" for several DAYS.

Rock Island ARGUS says:
"The embryo organization is III the

to the plow never look backward. and
the Southwestern railway is one of the
sure things Of the future.

Cos If it comes, IT will re a
nice thing for New Boston, ii it
can muster capital and business cut
terprise to utilize the changed situation
and not otherwise; and both Boston
and Keithsburg must keep in view the
homely though obvious truth, that the
mere increase of the means of transpor
tation will do them but little good unless
they take measures to produce more
merchandise for transportation With
the great river, and branch railroad if
this through road could be added, both
Boston and Keithsburg would make ad

Put this implies capital, labor and brains
We trust, If the roads are completed,
that neither will be wanting.

HUEBINGER's MAPEs.

This morning Mr.. nj. Huebinger, the
well-known civil engineer, surveyor, etc,
of Davenport, called at the ARGUS office
and exhibited the original draft of the
new map of Rock Island county which he
is now getting up and for which active
canvassing will begin at once. Mr.. Hue
binger's reputation for faithful and ac-
curate work in his profession is of the
best and this was well illustrated by his
superior pocket map of Scott county.
Iowa, and vicinity, copy of which he
left with US. At the time this Scott
county map was issued naught but highly
complimentary expressions were heard
from press and people and there is every
reason to believe that the new map of
this county will not fall one whit behind
it.
As we understand it the Rock Island
county map will be gotten out in two
in the pocket without inconvenience.
Many year have elapsed since our people
have had reliable map of this county and
vicinity, by townships. and the new work
will possess especial value because of
the appearance of the names of owners
of farm property in the different town
ships, each farmers name being legebly
printed on his section of land. We be
speak for Mr.. Huebinger a cordial re-
ception by our readers generally. who are
interested in the publication of a thor
oughly reliable map.

sERroUsLY HURT.

This morning Peter, the nineteen years
old son of Mrs. Peter Kale, who keeps
saloon at No. roo Second avenue, was
seriously wounded while preparing to
start on cunning expedition in the lower
river. 1t seems that about o'clock Peter
and young fellow named Quinlan, left
the house of the former, intending to go
after ducks. Arrived at the river some
where near the old distillery, Quinlan got
into the boat and rowed short distance,
Kale walking along until suitable place
was found, when he jumped into the
boat. Those who are apparently best in
formed respecting the accident
which followed say that as Kale
jumped into the boat he landed
astride a double barreled gun which
slipped back with considerable force, the
hammer striking one of the ribs of the
boat and thus discharging the barrel. The
send the contents of the other barrel fly
ing through space but this charge hurt
nobody The first one, however, made a
bad hole through the lower portion of one
side of Kale's body. AS soon as possible
the wounded young man was taken home
and DR.. Gait summoned. The doctor
made his patient as comfortable as posi-
BILE and expressed the opinion that he
would recover in few days if intlamma-
ton does not set in. Young men and
boys cannot be too careful about handling
fire arms
