property and business which in the fifty
years of her absence her father and
brother had accumulated in Belfast, the
income from which was 800, 900 a year
In few months she was formally put in

She at once went to her lawyer and
asked what she should do with it. He
advised her to give some of it to her

CROOKS IN DAVENPORT.
rwo Illinois Boys Worked and Robbed
Held Up on the Road.


Two farmer boys who were In Rock
Island Yesterday afternoon were done
up by pair of frauds in Davenport
last night. They were from Van
Grin, H., and had been working for
few days on farm back of Milan,
and as result one had S13 and the
other s. when they got into town.
They were working their way to
Omaha. and after spending most of
the afternoon in Rock Island went to
Davenport to take a train for the
west. They were at the Davenport
depot at 1870 when the train from the
east came in. Among the crowd on
the platform was young stranger
who tried to start a conversation
with them. and incidentally warned
them against two other men in the
crowd, whom he said were detec-
lives. Later the BOYS were APP
preached by these two men. who an
nounced themselves as detectives,
and said that they were sorry, but
they would have to put the boys I'M
| der arrest for vagrancy. They said
that they had been watching them
and had concluded that they were no
good. Although the elder boy pro
tested that he and his companion
had money and were going to leave
town. it did no good. The larger
men, pretended detectives. took
them in tow. escorted them down
Fifth street. directly past the police
station. and when they found con-
venient place, made a search OF the
boys clothing. For so they offered
to let them 90 if they would leave
town, and they finally appropriated
so, leaving the boys 50 each. and
started back up town.
The boys reported the matter AT
police headquarters. but no trace has
a. vet been found of the ..dctectives. =
