ordinance in 1913 in the interest OF
the poorer classes against the monop-
olist. Owing to the police ordinance
the sardine was a source of livelihood
to the Bretons. Joseph Cillin, whose
name is still revered In Nantes, first
prepared the fish with oil. His ven
ture was a great success, and he had
many imitators. In 1885 there was
something like a crisis in the sardine
industry. Millet, who was the chief
curer, had his factory indicted as
nuisance, but the difficulty was over
come by removing 1t from the center
of the town to the shore. Although
the fame of the sardine was firmly
established, it was only in 1855 that
it received its apotheosis. Then it
was shown in the Paris exhibition
London Globe.

BAD MAN CAUGHT
BY LOCAL POLICE
Diamond Robbery Suspect Held
at Station Pending Inves-
tigation by Officers.
FELLOW NABBED IN SALOON
Tells Companion Of Big Jewel "PIant"
Near Monmouth-PoIice Are
Notified.

A catch" was made by the local DO
lice yesterday, which may develop in
to one of the most important made in
recent years, when a man giving his
name as Ed Larkin, believed to be
Strahan of Muscatine, was taken to
the station as a diamond robbery sus-
pect. According to remarks dropped
by the man in a saloon yesterday aft
ernoon he has several thousand dol
lars worth of diamonds planted near
Monmouth. This morning he an
swered only those questions which
pleased him, and the authorities were
unable to get much information out
of him. He is being held pending an
investigation.
Strahan was drinking in the DeSmet
saloon yesterday afternoon, and
struck up an acquaintance with a man
named Westphal, who is a Junk deal.
er and is reputed to be wealthy. Stra-
han whispered in his campanion's
ear that he had a big plant of dia-
monds two miles from Monmouth and
asked his new found friend to &C
company him. Westphal's suspi.
cions were aroused and the matter was
reported to the police, as a result of
which Diamond Ed" was incarcerat-
ed.
DOPE FIENDs
Today, when questioned as to his
conversation Of the preceding day. the
man claimed he was drunk and had no
recollection of the talk. The police
have number of theories as to the
man. One is that he is a dope fiend,
and that the diamond plant" is a
coca dream. Another is that Strahau
wished to inveigle Westphal into &C.
companying him TO some lonely spot.
so as to slug and rob him.
Strahan says he has been in Rock
Island little over a week and is EN-.
ployed at the Rock Island Sash and
Door Works. The police are working
on the case.
