Quite a clever Catch.

City Marshal kttilsen of Moline has
distinguished himself by quite clever
catch. A few weeks ago the police of
the three cities were notified to look GU
for thief with goods stolen in Indiana
from cars of the New York, Chicago s
st. Louis railway, better known AS the
Nickel Plate line. Between $1,000 and
80 900 worth Of goods had been stolen
from cars of the company within the
past few months. at points in northwest
ern Indiana, notably at and near Knox,
Stark county. Three or four of the
thieves were recently arrested there. but
one was supposed to have come in this
direction with goods. The Dispatch of
Saturday evening says:
The man arrived on Wednesday of last
week. He was Young man. a house
painter. about twenty five years of age,
and brought with him an interesting
wife. He gave his name as Anthony
kring, and they went to live with his
uncle, John F. LohEeier. Later their
household goods came But Kring was
not yet satisfied. He frequently in
quired at the freight depot for still more
household goods which he said he ex-
pected. Marshal Kittilsen now begun to
have lively interest In him, and kept a
close watch on him. also on tine freight
depot for the goods. The goods" ar
rived Friday night, and Saturday morn
ing Kring hired an express wagon to
cart them for him. Kring went to the
depot with the expressman, and there
the Marshal arrested him, and had the
expressman deliver the goods at the
police station. The packages boxes
and barrels. were opened, and
were found to contain about
$500 or S400 worth of dry goods, carpets.
rugs, boots, shoes and slippers. There
were as much as 200 pairs OF footwear,
and some Of the other goods we're quite
valuable. Marshal Kittilsen Immediately
telegraphed to Louis Williams. general
superintendent of the Nickel Plate at
Cleveland. Ohio. also to an officer of the
road at Chicago. He locked his man up
in the calaboose, and will keep him till an
officer arrives from Chicago to take him
in charge. Kring says he was enticed in
to the thieving business, and was not as
guilty as the others. The robberies have
been committed mostly at coal chutes, or
when the trains have stopped for water. or
when ascending grades. The cars have
been broken open, the goods thrown out
upon the ground, and then hauled of into
the country and hidden, to be disposed of
at the leisure of the thieves.
