Child's Hand Caught in Moving
Lawn Mower.-Rolen Musgrove. g.
year-old son of Robert Musgrove, SIS
Third avenue, East Moline, was in
jured when he stuck his right hand
into moving lawn mower on the lawn
of a neighbor. The tips of three fin
gers were removed by the machine.
Says Census Count is Thorough
C. F. Grant,, secretary of the Civic
commission of-the Moline club, says:
Il think that the present census will
be the most thorough one ever taken
in Moline. I have been here for so
years and have seen five censuses
taken. Never before have the methods
of the government been so thorough
as this year. Despite this fact how
ever. / think there are hundreds of
people in Moline who will not be
counted. Why2 Because in many
cases names are refused. The enum-
orator knows the people are there but
cannot record them when not even
the name is obtainable. Then there
are some whom the enumerator does
not locate. This is not necessarily the
fault of the enumerator, either"
Burglar in Residenee.-This burglar
wanted money, nothing else. The
family of John Johnson, carpenter, liv-
ing on Forty-third street and the in
terur ban line, heard noise at 1 o'clock
in the morning. But as 1t was not
soon repeated no investigation was
made. Mr. Johnson made trip out
on the lawn before he donned his
trousers. There had been a night
visitant. who had carried the trousers
out of the house, shaken out pocket
book. removed the small change there
in and then carefully replaced the
book in the trousers pocket. Along
side Mr.. Johnson's bifurcates was also
found the empty purse of his daughter
Edith. 1t had contained little change
when Miss Edith retired. leaving her
purse down stairs. 1t is believed the
burglar had had no trouble in entering
the house. Miss Edith does not recol-
lect having locked the door when she
returned home after the other MEM
bers of the family had retired. Mr.
Burglar might have made quite a
clearance had he wanted anything
other than money. Mr. Johnson thinks
1t is remarkable, considering the small
amount of cash that was found, that
the burglar didn't clear almost every
thing else out for revenge.
O.
To Remain in MoIine.-Robert Lea
departed for Quincy to take charge of
the Quincy Engine works, recently
acquired by the Otis Elevator com
pany. Pleasing news TO Mr.. LEAFS Mo
line friends will be the announcement
that he is not to leave Moline entirely.
He will continue in charge of the ele-
vator plant here, dividing his time be-
tween Moline and Quincy. and main
tanning his residence in this city.
