DOOR UNLOCKED;

Harry Stahl, Owner Of Studio,
Involuntary Party in Losing
Transaction.

Harry Stahl, owner of a photograph
studio over the United Cigar Stores
company's place on Fifteenth street, is
minus a $25 suit of clothes and an
extra pair OF trousers because he
failed to lock his closet Tuesday night.
True, he has another suit left in ex-
change for his own, but its condition
is such that he considers the transac-
ton a dead loss.
Evidently the thief secured access
to the hall and tried the different
doors. Finding Stahls clothes closet
unlocked he took stock of the contents
and decided that the clothing therein
was about what he needed. The suit
he left in exchange is badly frayed.
"One could almost be sorry for a
fellow who had to wear clothes like
those" said Mr.. Stahl, discussing his
I loss.
The thief left $50 camera lens
showing he was interested merely in
supplying his immediate wants.

ROBBED TO FREE
WOMAN FROM JAIL
Crime Charged Against William
Garnett, Colored, Under
Arrest Here.
CRIME IN ROCK ISLAND
HoIdup Took s25 From Man and Two
Days Later Accused Negro
Paid Woman's Fine.

Holding up a man TO get money
with which to liberate his dark-hued
affinity from jail is the crime charged
against William Garnett, colored, who
was arrested by the Moline police
early this morning at his home, 1925
Thirty-first street. The alleged crime
was committed in Rock Island Aug. 2
and Garnett is said to have raised S25
by this means.
Since Aug. ? the Moline police have
been watching for Garrett. The tip
that he was at home came early this
morning. Officers were sent to the
place and there they found not only
the man but Madge Caldwell, col
cred woman well known in police cir
cles. Both were locked up. Both are
married, the woman's husband living
in Peoria.
About two weeks ago the Caldwell
woman was sent to the county Jail to
serve out a fine for disorderly conduct.
Aug 4 Garnett appeared with money
enough to pay the balance due from
the woman and she was set free.
MONEY WAS EVIDENCE.
The holdup of which Garnett was
suspected had taken place only two
days earlier and having so much mon
ey on his person was taken as con.
vincing evidence against the man. As
soon as the woman was liberated the
pair disappeared.
This is not the first time that Gar
nett has paid a fine for this woman
but if the charge now filed against him
sticks it likely will be the last time
for a number of months, at least.
Garnett is the son of the man kill
ed in his own home here about yeal
ago by a member of his own race. He
and the woman are being held pending
action by the Rock Island police.

BARN is DESTROYED
AND 2 HORSES BURN

Two horses were cremated in a fire
which at o'clock this morning de-
stroyed the barn of Jacob ]. Harris,
1907 Second avenue, with all its con-
tents. Besides the horses there was
other property in the building. The
loss is placed at 81 200, partly covered
by insurance.
a good deal of hay and straw was
stored in the barn and in this the
flames obtained such a start that
when they were discovered the place
was beyond help and il was impos-
sible to reach the horses. Firemen
were handicapped in approaching the
building by junk piled in the yard.
Spontaneous combustion, due to the
dauporing of the hay or straw by re-
cent rains, is given as the probable
cause of the fire.
