DEALS IN TOOLS
Stranger Does Thriving Business
as Borrower in Two
Cities.
SELLS TO SECONDHAND men
His Song is That He is Working a
Few Doors Away-Eludes
Police.

Are you wondering why tools loan
ed to a stranger who was working in
your neighborhood have not been re-
turned? You will likely find your prop
erty in one of the local secondhand
stores if you are interested sufficiently
TO investigate.
The police are searching for the man
who has adopted this means of earn
ing easy money, but thus far have not
been able to get their hands on him.
He worked for a week or more N
Moline, where he did thriving bust
ness. according TO reports, and left
when he saw that there were too many
inquiries for his photograph to insure
his remaining there much longer with
out apprehension by the authorities.
Usually in n Hurry.
Rock Island was his next stop. He
called the other afternoon at the Heyer
meat market. on Second avenue. be-
tween Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets.
He seemed in great hurry, and need
ed for a half hour a saw and hammer.
The proprietor was out at the time.
and his wife loaned the articles asked
for. She was told by the man that
he was working a. a house just few
doors away, but had forgotten those
particular tools, and would return them
just as soon as he got through using
them. OF course he did not come back.
Carries Away Whole Set.
He called at house on Fourth ave-
nue.. the home of a machinist, and was
allowed to take a set of tools valued
at $50. The wife of the owner did not
suspect anything wrong, as the man
did not have the appearance of crook.
The police have reports from a num-
Der of homes where he worked with
equal success. and have located some
of the missing property in the second
hand stores. where he disposed of il
at any figure that he was offered.
OF Pleasing Address.
The tool borrower is described by
those who have been victimized by him
as 80 years of age. intelligent in ap-
pearance. gentlemanly hammered, and
neatly dressed. II is probable that he
has left the city by this time and is
operating elsewhere.

BROOKS IN THE ROLE OF HERO
Brings Snorting Animal to Stop
As He Reaches the Side
walk.

A runaway horse headed for the
| main entrance to the city police head
quarters was brought to a standstill
at the curb on Sixteenth street at 10
O'Clock this morning by Aid William
| Brooks, who was aided in the capture
| by officers Henry Thode and Sidney
Pearson.
The horse was attached to the de-
livery wagon of Albert P Glass meat
market, 2009 Fourth avenue, and had
| been frightened by a piece of flying
paper at Third avenue and Twentieth
street as the boy was tying the bride
strap to hitching post while he de-
livered an order of meat TO a house
in the neighborhood
Brushes Other Vehicles.
The animal tore west on the avenue
at breakneck speed, barely missing
several vehicles enroute. Men rush
ed from the stores and homes and
threw up their arms in an effort to
slacken the pace of the horse. but
gave the latter a wide berth when
they saw that he was not to be in
terfered with. at least at that stage of
the proceedings. The three men in
the police station saw the horse as
he puffed through the block between
Sixteenth and Seventeenth street, and
hurriedly agreed on plan of capture.
I Officer Thode ran to the north side
of the avenue opposite the station,
Officer Pearson stationed himself in the
entrance and Aid. Brooks took the
/ noSition in the middle of the avenue
The alderman directed the attack,
and as the snorting animal reached
the intersection at Sixteenth, Thode
closed in, his hands waving and a
smile on his face that could not help
but have a reassuring effect on the
excited steed.
Pearson to Tackle High.
Pearson was to block the doorway,
corralling the horse about the neck in
the event of his endeavor to invade
the office. When Thode closed in
from the north side of the avenue. the
horse turned at an angle going straight
towards the entrance. Pearson braced
himself, expecting that he was due for
a wrestling match. Brooks followed
the head of the horse. and was on the
curb right in front of the door when
the animal put his feet forward to gain
the sidewalk A hold on the bit strap
was secured that brought the horse
on his hind legs, and he fell back on
his tours on the pavement, and sur
rendered. There was no damage done
to the wagon and the horse was not
injured
