ROBBERIES WORK
OF BOY THIEVES
Detective Herman Sehnert
Strikes Clew That Leads
to Five Arrests.
CONFESSIONS ARE MADE
One Other Lad Who Is Still at Large
Is Implicated-Had Been
Robbing for Months.

Through some excellent detective
work by Detective Herman Sehnert
and the growing boldness Of the per
petrators of several petty and large
robberies in Rock Island, five mem
bers of gang of six boys were round
ed up yesterday afternoon by the de-
tective and Officer John Furlong, and
after they had been placed In Jail
some of them confessed to their part
in the robberies in question and i'm
plicated others in the deeds. The
boys, ranging in age from IA to Is
years, are all members of prominent
families and have been at work, &C
cording to their own statements, for
months. They are John Kahlke, Louis
Fredenburg, Louis Brostrom, Carl
Voss and George Lamp.
CLEw AT SKATING RINK.
AS was stated in The Argus last
evening, the roller rink was broken
into during the previous night and
cigars and candy were taken by the
thieves. 1t was this job that led De-
tective Sehnert to make the arrests.
For six weeks he has been on the
trail of the boys, waiting to make GER
tain of his ground and hiding his time
till they should pull off another job
and fall into the arms of the officers.
ROBBED MANY PLACES.
To this gang of youths are attrib-
uted countless robberies in Rock Isl
and, many of which were in the neigh
borhoods in which the boys resided.
Some members of the gang state that
they have operated in Silvis and other
places. All point to Kahlke and Ere
denburg as the leaders of the gang.
Among the jobs which it is alleged
the boys perpetrated are the robberies
of the rink, of the Charles Fiebig
shop, of the Charles Strate drug store,
works, of the Volunteer Coal company
office, and of several residences. 1t
| is expected that further confessions
will clear up the mystery of several
other rcbberies.
MOTHERS IN TEARS.

what their arrest means to theiI
parents and members of the family

the parents went to the proprietor
and with tears streaming down theil
cheeks, begged him to accept a cash
settlement for the amount of which
he was robbed. He accepted the
money and was for dropping his case

insane COLORED
MAN BREAKS OUT
George Reynolds Escapes From
Watertown Hospital Where
He Was Sent From Here.

Breaking down the door in the ward
in which he was confined at the
WATERFOWL hospital for the insane,
George Reynolds, the negro who is
considered one of the worst charac-
tiers with which the authorities have
been called upon to cope, made
a break for liberty yesterday evening
about 1880. The hospital authorities
Immediately started on a search for
the fugitive. The police of the three
cities were notified and secured the
entire vicinity. Late last night the
hospital attendants located their man
in WATERFOWL and brought him back.
Early this morning the negro, who
has the strength of a Hercules, again
got away in practically the same man.
ner as yesterday.
Is DANGEROUS MAN.
Reynolds is a dangerous man and
the entire county was alarmed at the
news of his escape. When rational,
he is very quiet and orderly. He is
an ornamental plasterer by trade and
makes good money Several years ago
he sustained a sunstroke and ever
since, when becoming overheated, he
has been subject to these spells, dur
ing which time he becomes extremely
violent The authorities have a whole
some respect for his prowess, and
there is scarcely a man who would
care to go after him single handed.
When confined to the Jail about a
year ago Reynolds, with almost super
natural strength, fairly tore the steel
cell to pieces and got away.
RECAPTURED TODAY.
About noon, Deputy Sheriff William
Gabel found him and arrested him
without much difficulty.

HINTS FOR THE
BUSY HOUSEWIFE
Novel Hooks and Eyes That
Require No Sewing.

y new kind of hook and eye that has
some distinct points Of difference from
the other types has been designed by
n Pennsylvania oma The chief
feature of the new article is that, ex-
cept in places where there is great
strain. it is not necessary to sew
either part fast to the clothing. Both
hook and eye are equipped with safe
ty pin devices. by which they are at
tached to waist or skirt. and it re-
quires a very short time to afix them.
Furthermore. if the positions are not
exactly right they can be easily and
speedily adjusted without the bother
of unfipping thread and sewing it over
again. If there is too much strain on
the pins a few turns of thread will
make the parts secure. The throat Of
the hook is unusually deep and pro-
tects it from being easily disengaged.
while a hump, after the style Of all
modern hooks and eyes. retains the
eye in its adjusted position on the
hook.
