SHEVt|N IS LOCATED,
Young Thug Convicted Here
Believed to Be Back
in Chicago.
SHERIFF HBNENwAY AFTER HIN.

Orders His Arr,ss and Commitm,nt TO
tho State Refcrmstorg, to wnioh He
Was Sentenced In 1s9S, But Eraded the
Authorities Since the supreme Cou,t
Gave Its Decision.
Information has been received by
Sheriff Hemenway to the effect that
Eddie Shevlin has returned to his
familiar haunts in Chicago. He has
not yet served the term in the state
reformatory. to which he was sem
fenced at the May, 1896. term Of the
Rock Island county circuit court.
The sheriff is anxious to capture
Shevlin, who Is q member OF no.
torious gang. and has written the
Chicago authorities, who have the
commitment papers, ito nail him on
sight and forward him to the reform
school.
1t will be recalled that the Shevlin
gang accompanied Buffalo Bill's wild
west show to Rock Island in May two
years ago, ana made q wholesale
raid. Houses were robbed, pockets
picked, and people held up in broad
day light by members of the gang.
Three Of them, Eddie Shevlin. John
Rice and James Wilson, were detect
ed in the act of robbing Charles
Walker, of Davenport. OF diamond
shirt stud in front OF Mitchell g.
Lynde's building while the circus
parade was PASSING along the av-
enue. They were convicted in the
circuit court of assault with intent
to commit larceny. Rioe and Will
son were sentenced 10 the peniten-
tiary, while Shevlin, who claimed to
be but 10 years Of sge, was SEN
sencet to the reform school. Rice
and Wilson were taken to the pen,
but Sheylin, who seemed to have
unlimited financial backing, took an
appeal to the supreme court, being
released On bail pending the decis-
ion OF that tribunal, which subse-
queptly affirmed the verdict OF the
lower court. Hence, Shevliu was
compelled to serve his sentence, but
he could not be located. He wa.
traced as far as Canada. There he
was lost track of. And nothing has
been heard OF hia until now, when i
is understood he has come back, evil
IDENTIFY under the impression tina,
the storm has passed over. There i.

here for holding up Davenport
