Boys Bound Over. - The alleged |
thieves arrested Sunday night were
arraigned before Police Magistrate
Gustafson yesterday and were bound
over to the grand jury under $3.50
bonds. Frank Hamilton, Ben Pickup,
Eric Norman, James Burke, Dick
Connell and Frank Mcdowell were
bound over on larceny charges. Two
charges were preferred against Elmer
Hamilton and Ben Phillips. larceny
and burglary, and the bail of $3.50 fixed
on each charge. All but Dick Connell
and Frank Mcdowell pleaded guilty.
They waived examination and in the
hearing were bound over. Attorney L.
NJ Magill appeared for Mcdowell. His
| father furnished bail Now that the
gang has been broken up the police
are in possession of proof of several
other crimes that were, they believe,
committed by the members. In fact
some very serious charges could be
preferred against some of the young
men and should they escape the pres
ent charge, they will be brought back
to Moline to answer some of these
charges. The Boys were taken to Jail.

VIENNA. Jan. 10.-Fresh charges of
outrageous conduct are being brought
against the Servian crown prince, ac-
cOrding to the latest news from Bel

Some days ago. it is stated, the
prince visited carpenters shop in or
der to make inquiries about his motor
boat, which was undergoing repair.
The master Of the shop was absent,
and as the information volunteered by
assistants did not satisfy the crown
prince he abused and beat them. AS
a further instance of the crown princes
brutality it is related that recently
without apparent cause. he belabOred
two footmen with a hammer. one of
them being seriously injured.
