MEN ESCAPE IN A ROW BOAT
Latest Theory in the East Moline
Bank Robbery-Skiff Stolen
Near WatertoWn.

The theory now is that the men who
blew the safe in the East Moline bank
early yesterday morning escaped in a
rowboat, crossing the river to Daven-
port probably. A party of campers
along the river shore below Water
town reports a rowbOat stolen during
Wednesday night. The officers are
firm in the belief that the men had a
rig and that they drove east. They
were seen by New Shops employee
who was returning after a visit to
Rock Island on the train leaving for
the east at midnight. and which was
late in passing through East Moline.
They likely feared they could be too
easily traced in a buggy and deserted
their outfit in the vicinity of Water
town and stole the first boat they came
to i'll exploring the shore. All sur
rounding towns have been communica-
ted with and the officers notified. but
no clue has been gained. The robbers,
in the opinion of Sheriff Heider, were
experts of the first class. a small
safe in the building belonging to the
East Moline Improvement company
East Moline Improvement company was
opened without the aid of explosives
by the men. Either they knew the
combination or worked at it until they
solved il. There was no money in the
safe, however. There were some pa
pers, but these were not disturbed
The robbers were after money only.

is HE MONOMANIAC
WiIbert Nj. Bowman, Held for EN-
bezzIement, Believed to Have
Been Uncomfortable.
ExTRAVAGANT ENTERTAINER
Known to Have Parties of Young
Women as Dinner Guests, With
Him the Only Gentleman.

Wilbert NJ. Bowman. a prisoner at
the county Jail charged with the en-
bezzlement from the Rock Island Lum-
Der company, by which he was en-
ployed four years as cashier and book
keeper. is believed by those who have
been investigating his case to be a
monomaniac. His actions of the past
two years show a mania for extrava-
gence 50 far beyond the limits of his
income that he could never hope to
retrieve. He did not have many
friends. Little is known of his family
connections. He was not a drinking
man, but he had the best of every
thing the world affords. He was what
might be termed a ladies man in 4
sense. He did not court any particular
one. preferring to be with a crowd of
them. He has been known to enter
tain parties of dozen at dinner. with
him the only gentleman present. This
was one of his hobbies. Another was
in attending sociables and parties got
ten up in the interest of a lodge of
or church. Bowman would be on hand
and would lead the other folks a merry
chase in making the affair a success
He would stand off by himself and in
vest in every article offered for sale
1t seemed as though he would be
possessed of an insane desire to rid
himself of whatever money he had
with him, and he managed invariably
to send himself home broke.
Long Under strain.
An Argus reporter saw Bowman at
the county Jail this morning. Though
a young man his raven black hair is
streaked with gray on the sides. He
impresses as one who has long been
under a mental strain He is coldly
reserved. Asked how he made way
with the sum that he is charged with
stealing, Bowman looked out the win
dow. thought a moment. then said:
Il do not know as there is any
thing | care to say on that point.
For ten days before my arrest | knew
that there was an expert going over
my books. Had l been afraid of any
criminal wrOngdOing on my part GER
tainly had ample time to get away
