When grief will with joy be blended,
So now let US sing a song that will ring
In mem'ry through future days.

BOYS ROB A CAR.
Coffee and Lard Carried Away From
the Yards Of the D., Il 1.
* \. W. Company.
FIVE BOYS ARE IMPLICATED
Goods Found at Their Homes by the
PoIice-Have Been Dealing in
Bicycles Also.

John Nelson. Vernie Archer. Eddie
Evans. Miles Odell and Willie Evans.
Boys between 8 and II years of age,
were arrested last evening. and are
held by the police charged with steal
ng from car in the D., r. l. < y. W.
yards,
Last Thursday afternoon the boys
INDUCED in a swim in the river and
as they We're returning from their
sport, they delayed long enough in
The railway yards TO enter one of the
cars. and remove three cans of lard
and three sacks OF coffee.
The goods was distributed among
he boys. and was located by the pc
ice at their homes. 1t seems that the
Nelson boy is the leader of the set.
and the police are inclined to think
that he was the moving spirit in the
car raiding. One of the cans Of lard
was located at the home of the Archer
boy. and the Odeu lad had the other
TWO.
OdeII Invests in Lard.
Odell claims that one of the cans
was given him by Willie Evans. and
that he bought the other from the
Archer boy for 10 cents and a pocket
knife. One OF the sacks of coffee was
located at the home of the Nelson boy.
and the other at the Evans home.
Several other lads were taken to
the station by the police for an inves-
tigation, and all of those who are now
held have admitted their connection
with the theft from the cars
Na1ga,, bal 10;
ed OF several times. and his parents
have desired 10 have him taken in
charge by the authorities. as he is in
corrigible.
While the stories told by the boys
liffer in some OF the details, they all
admit that they took the goods from
the car. The Odell boy came to Rock
Island from Erie. and last Thursday
was the first time that he had ever
| missed attending school. He tells a
very straight account of the affair
and it seems that he had no other
connection with the theft than to pUr-
| chase the one can of lard and take
the one that the younger Evans boy
gave him.
The police are of the opinion that
illere are ABOUT llNG Otner young boys
connected with the thieving from the
cars, and it is expected that others
will be called to account.
Plant Wheels in River.
In connection with the affair novel
method of disposing of stolen bicycles
| has come to light. The lads have
| been stealing wheels about town, and
| have anchored them along the river
| banks. After the search for the stolen
wheels has been abandoned they are
taken from the water. cleaned up, and
sold in Davenport.
II is thought that one or two of the
| boys now held by the police have been
guilty of the theft of several wheels.
| An investigation of the theft of the
goods from the railway car is being
made. and it is probable that the Mel
son boy will be sentenced to the re-
| form school, as his parents have re
ported TO the authorities that they can
not control him.
