in the army. and not man is per-
mitted tn leave camp without writ
ten order from Kelly, who has excel
lent control over the men. and they
seem to have the utmost confidence
in him. The men are largely miners,

out of employment by the closing
down of the Colorado mines. In fact,
among them was one man who had
worked in the mines in which

Harry Bevens and James Howard
are the names IF two bold sneak
thieves that were arrested in Rock
Island today. This morning about 8
O'Clock these two men entered
Schneider's shoe store and asked the
clerk. Miss III, to show them some
shoes. The lady noticed that they
were well appearing young fellows
and forthwith showed them some fine
shoes. One pair did not exactly suit
the purchaser. and he told Miss III
so, and she proceeded to pick out an
other pair, the Young man following
her. In the mean time the other
man stayed in the front part of the
store, and picking up the box con-
tanning the shoes that did not fit. re-
l'eved it of its load and placed it
where it belonged, SAYING at the
same time. BILLY, can't YOU find
anything to suit you?' "Billv, -
who gave the name of Bev-
ems 20 the police later. replied,
mo, l guess I'll come in after
them this afternoon" and forthwith
the men left the store. Going back
to put up what stock she had pulled
down, Miss III noticed the box of
shoes She had shown first was
gone, but looking around she saw
the box was in its place. She took
1T down from the shelves to see that
the shoes We're covered all right.
Then she discovered she was lift
ing only an empty box. and she i'm
mediately stepped 10 the front door
and saw the two gallanis disappear.
The police We're notified. and Chief
Sexton and Patrolman Brennan went
10 work on the ease, and soon Officer
Brennan cspied one of the men in the
alley in the rear of Gilmorc's pack
ing house. The officer called on the
man TO halt, but he kept moving; the
officer then drew his revolver and
fired and the man stopped scared out
OF his boots. to say nothing of the
shoes he had stolen. Chief Sexton
got his man in the lower end of the
| city and brought him to the station
The two men were searched and
quite sum of money was found on
their persons. They were locked up
and viii probably have a hearing this
evening.

KELLY'S CROWD.
Visit Of Tri-City Peace Officers
to the Des Moines Camp.
PUT IN AN INTERESTING DAY.

Chiefs sexton, Ixittlesen and Kessler and
sherihs Gordon and Jones Return From
Tour Of Personal Observation-Im-
pres.ions OF the Leader and His Outfit.
Chiefs of Police Sexton. of Rock
Island. kittelsen, of Moline. and
kessler. of Davenport. and Sherilfs
Gordon, of Rock island county and
Jones. OF Scott county. returned this
morning from Des Moines. where
they spent yesterday in a personal
observation of Kelly's army. in camp
there on its east-bound tramp.
1.-The Kelly army" said Chief
Sexton to an ARGUS representative,
lis mixed crowd, made up largely
OF ordinary laboring men, though /
can not say that they are possessed
of the intelligence common to labor
ing classes. They are more like a
gang of tramrs, blindly following
kelly's lead. These men don't know
where they are going, or what they
are going for. Tney don't even
know their bearings. They are sim
ply depending absolutely upon Kelly
for guidance and leadership. What
surprised me the most was his re-
markablc power over them"
Nelly Sizes. Up.
LAS to Kelly himself. he did not
| impress me rs a man of any force
whatever. He is not possessed OF
an over abundance of intellect. and
he can't make what. To Il fair-mined
audience, would be called a speech, to
save his life. He INDUCES in ram
bling sort of talk. ii what l heard
him attempt last night is sample.
He seems to have 4 high idea OF kel-
| ly. and talks much about himself.
He rcpudiatcs and even ridicules
CoXey, and says nothing can be ac-
complished until he kelly gets to
Washington. He is simply engi-
neering a big fake in my estimation.
and fleeing and preying on the
country as he passes through. At a
public meeting held at Dies Moines
last evening. he talked at considcra-
BILE length, as did General Master
Workman Sovereign, of the Knights
of Labor. The latter gave assurance
that the army wound be gotten out
of Dies Moines today. and his re-
marks seemed to indicate that Kelly
and his followers would not be
obliged to walk either.
''ln talk with Mayor Hills. of
Dcs Moincs. and Chief of Police
Johnson last night, we were in
formed that while they know moth
ing OF the arrangements for getting
out of the city, yet they would see to
it that the army left Dcs Moines to-
day. If the army comes on on foot !
think we will have to take care of it
here. Ii it goes by rail it may go
around by the Milwaukee, in which
event we will escape, which latter
contingency is altogether to be hoped
for rs far as Rock Island is con-
ccrncd."
