HOLD-UP men take
PENNIES FROM BOY
Two Cheap Crooks Lay for
Newspaper Carrier Who Is
Making Collections.

That the cheap crooks who are in
Testing this locality are willing even
TO take pennies from children was
shown last evening shortly after )
O'Clock when two roughly clad men
held up 9-year-old Louis Buckley, 52O
Seventeenth avenue, on the bridge at
Second street and Seventeenth ave
nue.. and took few cents from his
pockets. Louis is a newspaper car
rier. and was starting out to make
some collections. AS he was crossing
the bridge, the two men, who evident
ly had been laying for him, seized by
the collar and ordered him to shell
out that money" When he protested
that he had only a few cents, he was
roughly searched and then given a
shove and advised to beat it and not
look back.
The lad ran down the street and
about block away met two men re-
turning from their days work. He told
them his troubles and they hurried to
the scene of the holdup in time TO
catch glimpse of the crooks. The
latter ran down hollow near by. and,
favored by the growing darkness, es-
capped.

FEDERAL JURY IS
UNABLE TO AGREE
Jury Can't Reach a Verdict in
Important Case Which In
wolves Conductor Rights.

The case in which Joe Nelson, the
mail carrier, charged John Scott, the
street car conductor with assault,
which has involved considerable in
terest, is unsettled as far as the rights
OF conductor on a street car to en-
force rules of the company are con-
cerned. The jury in the federal court
at Peoria came in at II o'clock this
morning not being able to agree.
II will be recalled that Nelson on
August 9 had pulled the bell cord on
a WatertovTG street car several times.
when the conductor questioned his
right to touch it. Words ensued be-
tween the two and a fight resulted.
Nelson swore out a warrant for Scott,
but receiving no satisfaction in the To-
cal courts, he took the case before the
federal court at Peoria
The big question involved was
whether an employe of the govern
ment had the right to pull the cord.
The court held that the conductor was
privileged with reasonable force to en-
force the rules of the company.
The jury was out since Wednesday
afternoon. Dietz and Dietz were the
attorneys who represented Scott.

CRUSADE AGAINST
GAMBLING STARTS
Chief Bisant Notifies Dealers
to Stop All Games of Chance
at Once.

Agitation against gambling in Rock
Island has moved the Moline authOri-
ties to action in elimination of that
form of vice This morning Chief OF
Police Bisant, through his patrolmen,
notified all dealers harboring punch
boards or other devises of chance. to
dispose of the paraphernalia at once.
1t has been reported that boys becom-
ing fascinated with the games have
used dishonest means of procuring
money with which to buck them.
Among other things to go is the
"26 dice game" so popular in cigar
stores. saloons and candy shops. Sew
eral days ago a Chicago dealer was
convicted for running a similar game
and this serves as a precedent for the
action of the local officials.
