Davenport, Sept. 17.-About 3 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon as Frank Costo and
Fred Osborne were stringing trout
line along the river bank in the vicinity
of the intersection of Fourth street
with East River street, they accidental
ly ran across the body of a man lying
in the pathway extending along the
river bank At first they supposed he
was asleep, but upon further investiga-
ton it was found that life was extinct.
His arms were folded closely across his
chest and there seems no doubt but
that he died a natural death.
The remains were later identified as
those of Louis Pohle, who came to
Davenport about a week ago from
Charlotte, Clinton county. He was a
machinist by trade and way bill of

pockets is supposed to have been for

special to Times-Republican.

Clinton, Sept. 1.-THE mysterious
woman in pink" and her companion,
who have stolen number OF horses
and carriages in the western part OF
Illinois and the eastern part OF this
state, are still at large, notwithstand-
ing the report that they had been ar
rested. These two persons have given
the police officers of the two states all
kinds Of trouble and are as elusive as
was the noted Tracy. So far they have
stolen a dozen outfits, the last to fall
into their possession being a fine team
and carriage belonging to Kettle q ELY,
who conduct livery stable at ROCK
Falls, III. The rig was found IN chlca-
g-n in a livery stable, where 1T was lden-
tilted nv the sheriff and will be shipped
back to the owners.
The strangest part Of the operations
Of these two horse thieves is they al
ways leave stolen outfit at some nv
ery stable and make no effort to dispose
of them. Neither do they take any
robes, blankets or whips. In this VI
entity their operations have been con-
fined to Mt. Vernon and Dewitt. The
outfit stolen at the former place was
left at the livery stable here. and the
chief Of police notified the officers at
Mt. Vernon, who game with the owner
Of the outfit and took them back TO MI.
Vernon. The team and carriage stolen
from Dewitt was also left at livery
stable and was recovered, as have been
every outfit stolen by the couple. The
question which is now agitating the
police is what do the couple want with
the rigs which they steal? They make
no effort to sell them. They simply hire
a rig, pay for it in advance. drive
to some town and leave 1t, then steal
another and drive 100 miles or so and
abandon it, steal another and keep
driving The woman in pink, as she
is now known by the officers, always
hires the outfit, claiming that she wants
to drive into the country to see sick
relative. She is described as a charm
ing young woman. dressed in an ele-
CANT pink costume of the latest pattern.
However, If they continue to operate
much longer in this section they will
certainly be apprehended, as the OFF,
GERS from the two states, as we'll as liv-
erymen, are q constant watch for them.

plans were not definite, merely to give
the council an idea of what the building
might be like. AS a result, there was
a warm controversy between the east

scarcely probable that very much work

One of the Union Pacific west nund
passenger trains Friday carried band
of fifty-two coal miners on their way
to Wyoming. They We're all Finland
ers, and have been employed in the
coal mines of Wisconsin. but are being
transferred to the Hanna and Rock
Springs mines in Wyoming. The trans
fer of the miners is made necessary
by the lack of Pennsylvania anthra-
cite this year and the consequent
greater demand for the solft coal of
Wyoming. A local coal dealer said
yesterday that he was handling about
three carloads of the Wyoming coal
daily. He said that there was as YET
no signs of Improvement in the hard
coal situation, and that the people
Were adopting other means of keeping
warm this winter than by the use of
anthracite. Semi anthracite which is
mined in Arkansas is also being bought
to a great extent. The government ex-
pertinent in Washington of turning
soft coal and coke mixed in equal pro-
portions is also attracting attention
here, and as it seems to be successful
1t may be adopted by the local con-
sumcrs Of fuel.
