MOLINE

Death Clears Mystery.-Death was
the means through which William
Holmberg of Galesburg discovered
Charles Holmberg, who for number
of years was a resident of Moline. The
injuries sustained by Charles Holm
berg in the mysterious accident near
Orion at | o'clock Wednesday morning
proved fatal after the man had been
taken to Galesburg hospital and was
given care in the hope of saving his
life. But death came without his re-
gaining consciousness, and how he
came to be struck by a Burlington
train will never be known. William
Holmberg's attention was attracted to
the tragedy by reading an occOunt IF
it in Galesburg paper He invest
gated and positively identified the
body as that of his brother, whom ne
had not seen for 10 years. Charles
HOlmberg was A years of age and a
native of Sweden. He settled in Gales
burg when IA years of age, and after
a residence there of several years,
disappeared. No trace of him had
been discovered in the last 10 years.
Much of that time he had spent in No
| line, where he was employed as a la
borer. He recently had been employed
on the Burlington track changes at
| Orion. He had another brother in
| Sweden, also a sister in that country.
beside his brother William in Gales
burg. The remains will be inferred in
Galesburg.

Assault Charge Observation-Disclosures
Walsh, the special Waterman who is
employed by the Deere e Mansur COM
pany, who was arrested upon a charge
of assault, was given hearing yester-
day before Magistrate Frank Gustaf-
son. The charge was preferred by
Fred Nelson, and after hearing the evl-
dence the case was dismissed because
no evidence was introduced showing
that an assault had been committed
Nelson and a partner had been arrest
ed in the vicinity of the plant by Ira
Berry, who is a special officer. Berry
asked Walsh to hold the two men
while he called the patrol and during
his absense the two men broke loose
and ran away. The charge of assault
was preferred against Walsh, but I
was shown that an officer can call up
on any American citizen to assist him
in making an arrest.

Three Places Burg Observation-Disclosures
were at large in the city Wednesday
night and entered no less than four
places, but at each of them secured
little or nothing of value. At James
Brennan's grocery. Sixth and Rock Is
land streets, entrance was gained
through a rear window, but as far as
known the intruders secured nothing,
being evidently on the lookout for cash
and not merchandise. At Kinks black
smith shop on Rock Island street en-
trance was gained through a rear door
and the combination lock broken off
the safe with a sledge hammer. Andy
Glynn's saloon, Fourth and Rock Is
land streets. was entered and the cash
register opened, but only a small
amount of change secured. The intru-
ders also endeavored to gain entrance
TO J. A. Wiley's grocery store at Sixth
and Farnam, but failed in their efforts
to pry open a door.

Sues for Loss of Eye.-Walter J. Ed
wards wants the Bettendorf Axle COM
pany to pay him $4,000 for the loss of
an eye. In his petition Mr.. Edwards
says he was employed on April 5, 1905,
by the Bettendorf Axle company, and
worked a few hours, when he was in
jured by a chip or spawl of steel or
iron flying from some chipping work
being done by one of the employees Of
the company. The chip struck him in
one Of his eyes. destroying the sight
and necessitating the removal of the
entire eye. He claims the company is
negligent in that it failed to provide
him with a safe place to work, although
knowing that he had no experience
with steel chipping and knew nothing
of the danger of being in proximity to
the work. He claims no warning was
given him of the danger.
