Laid Up Two Months.

ger for the Rock Island Pillow company,
arrived home yesterday from Portland,

Mr.. Garrison's condition became such
that 1t was inadvisable for him to
leave for his home, and he remained
in Portland until his recovery. While
still weak from his long siege of i'll
ness, he is rapidly gaining his strength,
and his friends will be glad to know
that he will soon be his normal self
again. Mr.. Garrison recently removed

HOLDS BOTH BOYS
Magistrate Smith Binds Blythe
and Thomas to Grand
Jury.
STOLEN RING STILL MISSING
William Parsons, Old Offender, Sent
to Jail to Give Him Chance
to Brace Up.

Police Magistrate G. J. Smith decid-
ed last evening to hold both David
Blythe and Fred Thomas to the grand
jury on a charge of highway robbery,
as in his belief enough evidence was
introduced at their trials yesterday to
warrant the belief that they might
Carl r. Anderson, the defaulting Unit
ed States Express company cashier.
Blythe admitted having stolen a pair
of gloves and cuff button from Ander-
son, and Thomas knew so much about
the robbery before the police did that
they believe he was at least implicated
in it. The theft of the ring took place
in the Tarpy restaurant on Seventeenth
street. The ring has not been recov-
cred.
Each of the boys was placed under
$500 to assure his appearance before
the grand jury next month. Blythe
furnished bail, but Thomas had to go
to Jail, as he was unable to get anyone
to go on his bond Thomas home is in
Peoria. Blythe lives in Rock Island.
Fingers Get Sticky.
William Parsons was held to the
grand jury this morning by the police
magistrate on the charge of larceny.
Parsons is well known to the police,
as the offence which he committed
Monday was not the first of his mis-
demeanors by any means. He has be-
come what the police term a booze
fighter and he gets drunk and re-
mains so as long as he can secure
money to buy liquor. While in this
condition he steals anything he can
get his hands on and sells it to get
more drink. Monday, while intoxicat-
ed, he stole a safety razor and tried to
sell it, but was caught and arrested.
He was sober this morning when
brought before the court, but he admit
ted he was in a bad physical condition
as the result of excessive drink and
that he was on the verge of collapse.
For this reason the magistrate held
him to the grand jury under bonds of
5000. more to give him a chance to re-
cuperate in health than TO punish him
for his stealing the razor while drunk.
