chief Of police in Burlington, has writ
ten Chief Bisant for the police record
of William Peters, Moline boy. who is
facing a serious charge in the Iowa
city. Search OF the records reveals
that Peters has been IN custody three

against Peters was dismissed. He was
arrested Aug. II, 1905, for drunken

quest was that if apprehended Peters

thorities sent a message by long dis
lance telephone requesting that Peters

ton here was that Baldwin had died
The Burlington Hawkeye says the man
is slowly recovering. The story:
Baldwin is slowly recovering from the
terrible injuries on his head. He is
fairly rational at times, but seems to
remember nothing Of what occurred in
the basement of the hotel where he
was slugged. He speaks of having been
hurt and complains O. severe pains in
his head. 1t is difficult TO determine
what the outcome may be. Baldwin )
mental faculties may be permanently
impaired by the terrible blows he re-
ceived on the head, or he may entirely
regain his mind. His mind wanders
at times and he keeps constantly ask
ing for his clothing At times it is
necessary TO guard him 10 prevent his
leaving the hospital When asked how
he was injured, Baldwin mumbled
something about It may have been
from the furnace blowing out. From
indications Baldwin must have been
sound asleep when assaulted and knew
nothing Of being attacked"
