THE ROCK ISLAND
 STATION ROBBED
THIEVES ENTER WINDOW IN THE VERY FACE OF THE CITY
 POLICE DEPARTMENT.
Special Officer Was About the Station at Time and May Have Been Sit
 ting in Passenger Waiting Room.

Thieves entered the Rock Island passenger depot ticket office last
 night some time between 6.10 and :
 o'clock and stole a sum desigpated
 by Passenger Agent Billy Andersen
 as something over one hundred dol
 lars"
 The robbery was one of the boldess
 ever pulled off in this city, and points
 to the inference that fire department
 materials may need special guard or the aerial truck may be missing some bright morning.
 The thieves entered the ticket office window on the Benton street side, in full view of the police headquarters
 and also in full view of the jail alley
 entrance where officers are likely to appear any moment in coming and
 going from the jail, and any mem
 bers of this department would not
 have hesitated to act as an officer if
 he had seen anything or robbery be-
 ing committed.
 There is special Rock Island de-
 pot police officer on the station plat form, and i. is believed that he was probably in the passenger waiting
 room when the robbery took place. The thieves entered by pushing up the window screens and forcing the
 windows. It must have taken some little time to pull off the stunt, and | 1t is probable that it was a mob" on
 the job and that several stood around
 with long overcoats on and covered the work wnile another forced the entrance.
 The office is always closed and locked after the departure of the usual routine of the days business, until the outgoing train is gotton away, when the days business is put away
 in the safe. The thieves probably
 made themselves acquainted with the routine

the trouble took place and two of them were physicians. Tehy were passing the Bryant home when they were stopped fog their professional as- sistance.
 The version of the trouble told them was that Bryant and his wife, the stepmother of the young man, had not been getting along, and were sepa- rated, and that Bryant was living alone, at his home and country store, when he heard that Vanderslice and the mother were going to make aim trouble.
 They heard that Bryant, anticipat- ing trouble, had gone to the home of a neighbor the night before and bor- rowed a shot gun, but that the neigh Tor thought the situation over, and did not want to be mixed in any trou- ble, so he went to Bryants early yes terday morning and tool. hack his gun
 Bryant had only a 16 guage shot gun on the place, and only a few shells for that, loaded with small shot.
 Bryant states that he was in his store when Mrs Bryant and Wander slice and the daughter came up, and that he feared trouble from them and ordered them all away, and that they would not go, and were about to at tack aim when he picked up the gun and shot young Vanderslice.
 Bryant was injured about the right hand and bruised about the face and body and stated that he believed Van derslice and the mother anr sister would nave killed him unless an out sider had come up and prevented fur ther trouble by making them let him alone.
 It was stated to the huntsmen that Bryant went over and surrendered himself to justice of the peace, and that he was afraid that the party would come back and kill him, and that he made the request that they all be placed under a peace bond. Incidentally, there was report that Bryant had also prepared himself for

SHOOTING IN
 LEE TOWNSHIP
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

The story told by Vanderslice is corroborated by ais mother and two sisters, in all the essential details The shots fired were No. 2, and Drs Shaw found two of them in the fieshy part of the leg which they removed at once but another was imbedded deep and that required some surgery to take out. The wound will not likely prove dangerous unless there has been infection.
 It is said that Bryant owns consid- erable city property, and is an exten. sive farmer. He formerly lived in this city. and one time was shot by Mr Browning in South Hot Springs, who mistook him for a burglar. Bry ant was in the city during the fore part of the week for the purpose of appearing as a voluntary witness be fore the grand jury. it being stated that he and another farmer of his section had some trouble, and some threats had been made which Bryant regarded as worth the attention of the grand jury.
 The matter was reported to the sheriff's office, and it is probable tha, DepulN water Whedllsy VIII De Sell' out this morning to bring Bryant to the city to answer the charge agains. him.

 The story told by Vanderslice is en' tirely different from the account of the trouble brought to he city last night from the home of Bryant. A party of iuntsmen were out in Rag weed Valley yesterday morning where

 The stories told by the two sides are so divergent that they are bosh given for what they are worth The mother and sister substantiate the story told by Vanderslice, and Bry- ants story is confirmed by man who was present, i-ld who it is said, pulled the trio off Bryant after they had him down
