wore q diamond ring and q pearl
ring. Other members Of the family
were not 30 lucky as they had left
most of their 1ewelry at home. Sill

reached.
KNEW THEIR GROUND.
The work was evidently planned
by someone acquainted in the neigh
berhood. The habits Of the members
OF the family were probably stud
led for some time previous to the
robbery and the robbers merely
waited for the opportunity to get in
while all were away. They prob
ably finished their work IN less than
a half hour. TSey left behind them
only the valuables that they could
not readily carry. Few smaller ar
ticles were missed.
NEIGHBoRs AROUSED.
The entire neighborhood has been
reused by the job and is Of the opin-
ion that someone in the vicinity is
conducting the thefts. Recently the
DooIey residence, a few doors west,
was entered and robbed while men,
bers Of the family we're absent for a
few minutes. It is thought that the
work was done by the same parties.
Most Of the stolen jewelry was en-
graved with the initials or names Of
the owners a long string Of coral
beads was thrown aside.

bles From the Home of
Gottheb Zwicker.
FAMILY AWAY AT THE TIME
Burglars Evidently Knew Their
Ground Well and a Thorough
Job Is Done.

Working with the precision which
comes only with q thorough knowl-
edge of their grounds and TO profess
sionaI thieves, two men perpetrated
one Of the boldest robberies that has
been recorded in the annals OF the
police of Rock Island Saturday even
ing when they ransacked the home
Of Gottlieb wicker, 2412 Seventh
avenue, and carried away $4OO in
money and tewelry. The robbery oc-
CURED between CPS and Z o'clock
and when Mrs. Zwicker and her
daughter, Marie, arrived home at the
latter hour, the job was near COM
pletion- AS they stepped into the
house they saw from its appearance
that robbers had been at work. They
called for assistance from the neigh
bors and while they were out, II is
thought that the thieves escaped via
the rear windows, leaving nothing Of
value behind them.
OPENED REAR WINDOW.
When her days work had been
completed, the woman that has
worked in the family for ten years
left the house shortly before 8
o'clock. She had locked the doors
and windows and was certain that
IL was secure against the depreda-
ton of thieves. The freshly painted
sill Of a rear window shows the foot
print of one Of the culprits and that
entrance was gained in that way.
The lock was turned around without
force.
SAW MAN ENTER
little after o'clock, one Of the
women residing in the neighborhood
saw man resem bling Karl wicker
cut across the lawn, go up on the
front porch, pick up The Argus
which had been placed there, walk
into the house and then, thinking it
was Karl. she continued past the
house Shortly before Z O'Clock, an
other neighbor walked by. saw the
lights burning in the downstairs
rooms and all the shades drawn up
stairs. He thought there was
party there and walked on.
ROOMS ALL RANsACKED.
And while these people walked by
at the early evening hour, the rob-
berry was being committed. The men
worked quickly. From all signs,
they picked the rooms Of Mrs.
wicker and her daughter first. Ev-
cry drawer was emptied of it's con-
tents and the beds torn apart in
search for valuables. Then the
rooms Of the men of the family were
entered and after taking all the val
uables from the dressers. il is
thought that the thieves were fright
ened away for their work in those
rooms had not progressed as far as
in the other parts Of the house.
