An Unpleasant Occurrence ia the Rock ISL

and House Annex.
The Rock Island house annex was
the scene of rather unpleasant and
a.disgraceful affair Saturday night, the
participant being Bartender Lee Pau
and John McDarrah. and which re-
suited in the latter receiving a severe
beating. The trouble. as near as can
be learned, was the outcome of an
i'll feeling which has existed between
the parties for some time, the nature
of which was remark on the part
of McDsrrah. which. ii true, would
make Pau anything but an honest
man. The matter bore so heavily on
the latter's conscience that when the
men met Saturday night Pau
concluded to satisfy his de-
termination. and started ut Nc
Darrah in a fair iistic battle. The
latter ran behind the bar and sliced
n pop bottle, which he threw at his
pursuer, but missed him. Pau in
return hurled bottle at McDarrah.
without any effect. Pau then
grabbed hold of McDarrah and at
tempted to get him out in the back
yard, but in this he failed, getting
McDarrah to the rear Of the room,
where he gave him a severe beating.
McDarrah managed to make his es-
cape, and left The bar room. He re-
turned in short time, and was again
set upon by Plan. who would have
given his victim more punishment
but for the interference Of witnesses.

O'Clock this afternoon. Failing to
respond to frequent calls made at
his room. it was concluded that
something had befallen Wesenthal.
and his room was accordingly broken
open by Porter Wallace Ballard.
whose eyes met a CHASTITY sight.
Wesenthal lay dead on the floor
of his room, with nothing on
him but his underclothes. His
body was in doubled up condition.
which showed that he must have I'M
dergone terrible agoDies. A half
emptied bottle of morphine was
found on the dresser. with which it
is supposed the man took his life
He had been in bed before he COM
mitted the deed, as the bed clothes
were kicked around, and his shoes
and other belongings were strewn
around the room. The last heard of
the man was about o'clock this
morning. when he rang for ice
water, which was furnished him, and
the gas in his room was still burning
when broken into at noon.
Some Time Premeditated.
There is not the least shadow Of
doubt but that Wesenthal intention
ally took his own life, as it is
underst pod he made the remark yes
terday to an employe of the hotel
that he would be no more after to-
day. The man came to the Rock ISL
and house Oct. IS, and has been
there since. The fact that he could
not make his business success and
WAS consequently without funds nee
essary to pay his bills and leave the
town. together with probable other
troubles yet unknown to the public,
no doubt was the cause of his tragic
deed.
He is a man about thirty-five years
OF age and apparently has no family.

Burglars Laugh at LOcksmitbs.

Detective William Henderson of
Philadelphia discussed the evolution
of burglars tools in recent inter
view: "The modern burglar is like
love in one particular" said he, Gin
asmuch as he laughs at locksmiths.
His seemingly simple tools indicate
that the attempts made to bar his pro-
gress are not difficult to overcome,
and yet not many years ago they We're
possessed of very different idea, and
in Old Man Hopes prime brute force
was in measure the leading idea in
forcing safe. In those days one
crook was selected to go with the gang,
not because of his brains, but on ac-
count of his muscle, and his duty
was to carry the heavy tools. Big
erowbars, huge logs and strong men
were then the order of things. Safes
were literally dragged apart.
SIN few years things went to the
other extreme. Men intending to rob
safe would take hardly any tools,
but would break into convenient
blacksmith shop, get n crowbar and
a sledge, and then go to the place to be
robbed AS safes were then con-
structed, few blows with the sledge
would knock off the hinges of one
door, and then IA pry with the bar
would wrench the door away. But
safe manufacturers soon caught on,
and when the handle of the safe was
turned by the owner, bolts shot both
ways, removing the responsibility
from the hinges
Then came the era of powder. A
safe would have the crack running
around the doors plugged with oakum,
two little spaces only being left. From
one all the air would be drawn by a
pump, and through the other powder
would be allowed to sift in. When
they touched it off the safe would be
ripped apart. But this method, de-
spite all precautions, was noisy, and
then came the modern tools. In the
case of all ordinary safe, the knob is
knocked of, punch removes the COM
binations, and piece of wire throws
back the tumblers. In better safes
the drag Is used if | had safe, no
matter how good, with many valua-
bles in it, would not trust burglar
alone " it for over ten minutes at
the J.. So far the burglars are
the makers of safes, and no
Improvement is made by the latter
that the former in n short time do not
learn to circumyent.
