z BOYS ARE HELD
+. after BURGLARY
Claimed That Watertown
Youths Admit Taking $.45
from Anderson Saloon.

Harry Nicholson and Oscar Lyons,
two we'll known Watertown boys, each
about IS years of age, are in the coun-
ty jail under 1000 bail for burglary.
They are charged with having taken
S45 in cash from the saloon of Ed An
derson near the Watertown line in
East Moline. The crime was COM
mitted Monday night.
Two weeks ago Anderson's home in
East Moline was entered and 5000 TAX
en-. Then he changed his plan of TAX
ing his money home at night and be-
gan hiding the days receipts in a CT
gar box in the saloon. The two boys
had been hanging about the saloon re-
Gently and suspicion was directed to-
ward them when the loss of the mon
Fey was discovered Tuesday morning.
The place had been entered by pry-
ing up a window and nothing but the
box containing the S45 was molested.
Nicholson was arrested first and
after a period of sweating admitted
that he and the Lyons boy had taken
the money. Five dollars was found
in Nicholson's handkerchief and S6
more in his shoe. The discovery of
the money, the presence of which he
was unable to explain, led to his con-
fession.
When Lyons was apprehended the
two boys made clean breast of it, it
is said, and showed the police where
they had hidden the rest of the money
under a pile of ties in the Siivis yards
of the Rock Island road. They had
spent SO and the balance was recov
cred.
The preliminary hearing was held
before Magistrate Cartwright today
and the bond fixed at $1,000 in each
case. No security being forthcoming
the boys were sent to jail.
