For some weeks chicken thieves
have been rampant in the upper part
of the city and il is estimated that in
the neighborhood of a hundred birds
have been taken during the spring.
One resident who had a fine flock
of 10 Plymouth Rocks awoke one
morning 10 find that his henhouse
had been entered and nine of the
fowls taken. The thief had pulled
the head off each bird as he plucked
il from the roost and then walked
away with the load.
I'm this case he was tracked for
some distance by "a trail of blood aud
suspicion was pretty firmly fixed up
on Adam Rittenauer. a resident of up
per Thirty-eighth street.

Accordingly the neighbors organ
lied themselves into vigilance com

pected party's house. Last night

that unreasonable hour. His hearing
was set for ) this afternoon. The
fowls. ii developed, were from the

1t is learned from reliable author
ity, says the Chicago Tribune today,
that Charles \. Goodnow. general SUI
perintendent of the Chicago, Milwau-
l<ee & st. Paul railway system, will
become general manager of the Chi
cago, Rock Island Il Pacific railway
system on April IL.
Mr.. Goodnow has been we'll known
in railroading circles for many years.
having grown up i'm the business.
beginning on the old Hoosac Tunnel
line as telegraph operator in 1884.
he came west and became an assist
ant train dispatcher on the St. Paul
railroad. During the seventeen years
that have since elapsed Mr.. Goodnow
has been steadily promoted until he
became general superintendent of
the st. Paul about two years ago.
Andrew j. Hit is the present gen
eral manager of the Rock Island. and
was appointed to the position Oct. l.
1899. What disposition is to be made
of Mr.. Hit could not be ascertained.
The opinion is that he will again take
the position of general superintend-
emf. which he held for number of
years prior to becoming general man
ager.
Celebration is in Order.
I. The timely suggestion has been Of
fered to The Argus that the semi
centennial of the opening of the
Rock Island road to this city. which
is now less than two years distant.
will be n proper occasion for Il public
demonstration of some sort. The old
Chicago q Rock Island road was the
first to reach the Mississippi river
and il was opened To this point from
Chicago Feb. -. 1854. Therefore the
semi-centennial will fall upon Feb.
%, 1904.
The older residents of the city. es-
pecially. will understand the fitness
of n celebration of the anniversary
of this memorable occasion. They
will recall the benefits that were at
once apparent. when the road Was
completed. Prior to that time Rock
Island was simply one of the more
prominent villages on the east bank
of the Father of Waters and its flu
ture was largely n matter of chance.
When the road between here and-Ch hi
cago was completed, however. this
locality took on a different aspect in
a very short time and Rock Island be-
came place of prominence with an
assured future. Property values at
once appreciated to double what they
were before and great volume of
business was brought this way from
all over the west.
There has been no event that has
had uuitP such an important bearing
in establishing Rock Islands place
on the map as the completion of the
Chicago & Rock island road and as
such its anniversary should be cele-
brated with the same degree of mu-
nicipal patriotism as that of the
very founding of the city.
