If there exists in Rock Island q m an

his entire stock of ammunition on the

to use it to better advantage than now.
He would serve public which while pos
sessed of creditsble amount of human

tive of the Union who attended the
circus yesterday, and who went home
and wrote up as huge joke. couple
of chestnuts cracked by the clown which
we're rank enough to have placed the
fools life in jeopardy then and there.
But the Union thought they were funny.
and this morning published them. A
clown that would get of such time worn

months in close confinement, and paper
that would put them in cold type before
its readers should go up for life. Those
jokes were fret perpetrated as long ago
as when Rome ruled the world. and are

A VERY HARD GANG.

The Confidence Men who Were With
Wallace 4 Anderson's show---
sheriff stlyis Disguised.
Sheriff Silvis was last evening surprised
to receive call from Lawyer Green. OF
Greene, Iowa-at whose instigation he
arrested Richard Weldon. a confidence
man. for fleeing farmer out of $1,000.
as detailed in the ARGUS OF last night
with q request that Weldon be released.
Green stated that his interest in the case
was merely in a civil way and intimated
that having recovered the stolen money,
$1,000, he was willing that the
rascal go free again. As the crime
was committed in Iowa and was no
violation of Illinois laws, and the
sheriff further having no evidence in the
case, the Justices order being also pre-
sented for the prisoners release, the
sheriff could not do otherwise than let
him 60. But he was not slow to express
to Mr.. Green his opinion of him. as well
as his contempt for the proceedings, and
he furthermore informed him that it he
had the evidence to back his suspicious
he would lock up the entire gang for
general rascality. Last night the $1,000
which was recovered through the prompt
ness of Sheriff Silvis was sent to Greene,
Iowa, by express, and Weldon should
have gone also for trial for his crime.
The gang. of which this Weldon is a
member, is about as hard, and at the same
time as smooth, as there is on the road.
Last night they surrounded Detective
Norris, who traced them to Rock Island,
nd told him that he must desist from
following them, and that if he did not he
would fare bsdly-that they would as
leave suffer for one crime as another. .
Norris was greatly alarmed at this threat
and placed himself 10 the hands of the
sheriff until train time.
