Word has been received in this city of
the downfall of three young men who
were at one time well known in this
county. They are Riley, Frank and
Walter Smith, and they all formerly lived
in Andalusia where they were raised
Their father was for many years lumber
dealer there, having for a partner Henry
Thompson. Several years ago Thompson
sold out and moved to Toledo, Iowa.
Riley Smith, who had become physi>
clan, and had married Thompson's daugh-
ter, had located at Toledo sometime pre-
vious to his fatheri laws arrival. Frank
and Walter Smith were school teachers,
Frank holding a position in the public
schools of Moline, while Walter taught
the young idea of Hampton how to shoot
Frank subsequently became full fledged
doctor
More than year ago Frank and Walter
moved to Toledo, Iowa, and soon the
Home Mutual Life Insurance company
was organized. Henry Thompson wa:
made president, Frank Smith vice presi
dent, Walter Smith, secretary, DR.. Riley
Smith, medical examiner. Frank Boney
and j. W. Ballard, also two Andalusians
were elected to positions in the organiza-
ton. lis said the company did thirty
ing business, and assurances with theil
attending fees came rolling in in large
numbers, but soon deaths began to take
place, and those who held policies began
to clamor for the money. Then, it is
stated, and not until then, did the com,
pany stop. Its dissolution is said to have
been sudden and permanent, and now
comes the news that warrants are out fo
the arrest of the Smiths and their confed
crates. The Smith boys were well Liked
in Andalusia and vicinity, and thei
friends are sorry that they have thus I'm
fortunately gotten into trouble.

known.

who stole watch from John Feeley, as
mentioned in this paper yesterday. The
watch was an open faced silver one val
ned at SEQ 1t was established that SUIT
ton stole the watch from Feeley and when
the latter objected the thief knocked him
down and skipped. Sutton was held fol
trial in the sum of $500 and in default
resumed his old quarters in the county
Jail.
The police made raid on couple OF
"cribs" last night. Deputy Marshal Bren
nan and Officer Metsch pulled" house
on Fourth avenue between Twentyfirsi

ored woman named Hattie Wilson. Be,

Fnund Har Mnthar.

Katie Curtis, the little waif from Rock
Island, was not sent back to her aunt as
intended yesterday. 1t so happened that
Officer Mike Myers read the letter on file
in the police station, and reading it. knew
exactly where to find her mother. The
woman--Mrs. Davis-lives in an old
barge on the river bank down near the
old wagon bridge, and the child, when
turned over to her. stepped out of the
National to enter home where squalor
and poverty reign supreme. The case
melted the heart of the officer who took
her there, and it is now hoped some one
will come forward and adopt the little
thing, as her mother is perfectly willing
should be done. She is bright child, has
been well brought up so far, and would
be an acquisition instead of burden to
any respectable family. Peoria Jostr'eat.
