ICE SEASON OPENS.
Rock Island Has Many Men at Work
Cutting and Packing.

The Rock Island began cutting and put
ting up ice at Almena this morning. The

for packing away.
If the present cold snap holds for any
length of time, more men will be put to
work, and ice will be cut and put up at
Topeka and at other places along the

SAFE BLOWERS KILLED.
Quincy, Ill, Police Shoot Three
Robbers.

Quincy, Ill, Jan. 29.-Quincy police
officers Saturday night killed two ex-
pert safe blowers supposed to be from
Chicago, and wounded another badly.
The tragedy included a running fight
through a hotel, in which the armed
burglars were pursued by the officers.
The men are believed to be those who
recently operated in Galesburg, Free
port and other Illinois cities, making a
speciality of cracking safes in building
and loan offices.
County Building and Loan association
was blown open at the noon hour, and
cash and securities amounting to $780,
900 taken. Saturday three men came to
Moecker's hotel and registered from
Kansas City. The proprietor recognized
their handwriting as being the same as
that of the men VINO came here January
5, and whom he afterward suspected as
being crooks. He warned the police,
and when one went out he was shadow
ed by Detective George Koch. The
stranger acted queerly and the officer
finally appeared, showing his star and
asked the suspect to go to the station
and explain himself The man drew a
pistol, and pointed 1t at the officers
heart, but, as he did so, Koch flashed
his own and fired four shots. Three took
effect and the man fell dead instantly.
This happened at IL o'clock Saturday
night. Meanwhile the officers had ex-
aInlQeu the baggage OIL the suspected
menand found that it included burglars
tools, skeleton KEYS dynamite sticks and
nitro lycerine. When the other two
men returned to the hotel at o'clock
Sunday morning they learned Of the
tragedy and found the hotel surrounded
by officers. They ran into the hotel sa-
loon and loaded their revolve~s- Then
there was running fight in the hotel
corridors. One man reached the street,
pursued by Chief of Police John
A'Hearn- He turned to fire. and, as
he did so, A'Hearn sent a. bullet crash
ing through his skull. He died in a few
minutes The third man was shot on
the stairs by officer Charnhorst and
sank to the floor with a broken hip
He was captured, but refused to say

were all well dressed, had diamonds

When the two men came here January
