CHECKED AT OUTSET
OF CAREER OF CRIME

Harry Meyers, a 17-year-old Iowa
boy, who came to Moline a few weeks
ago apparently intent upon taking up
a career of crime, was caught up short
by the police when he was arrested
yesterday afternoon on the charge OF
passing a forged check, preferred by
NJ. II. Berger, proprietor of a second
hand store at 1915 Third avenue. 1t
is claimed that the boy passed the
check some time ago. 1t was for
$3.50 and was signed by l.. w. Burck-
wire and endorsed by Frank Erdman,
both signatures being forged. Ber-
ger cashed it and with the proceeds
Meyer bought a 3S-calibre revolver
and an electric fash light
Not till yesterday did the police get
a line on the forger and the revolver
and light were found in his room after
he was arrested. When arralgned be

SUCCESSFUL IN
EFFORT TO DIE
Anton Samuelson Succumbs to
Effects of Acid Taken With
Suicidal Intent.

Dependency over his inability to re.
sist the lure of strong drink apparent
ly was responsible for the suicide of
Anton, better known as Gus Samuel
son, carpenter, AZ years of age, who
yesterday afternoon drank carbolic
acid in an alley at Seventh street and
F. -irth avenue. He died at the city
hospital this morning at o'clock.
Samuelson had been a physical
wreck for some time. Two winters he
haL spent at the county poor farm as
result of Incorporate habits. Last
spring he returned to Moline after his
second period as a county charge and
until few weeks ago he remained
sober and worked at his trade. Final
ly, however, temptation overcame him
and he entered upon a protracted
spree. He was intoxicated yesterday
at the time he drank the acid. How
he obtained the poison is not known.
First knowledge of his attempt at
self destruction came when about 2
o'clock he staggered into the saloon of
AGolph Allaert at ga Fourth avenue
and fell to the floor The bartender
examined him and noticed the smell
of the acid. Then he saw that the
man'o face and neck were burned with
the liquid and he surmised what had
taken place. Samuelson, though suf-
fering terrible agony and unable to
speak because his vocal organs had
been paralyzed by the poison, shook
his fist at the bartender and otherwise
by gesture evinced a desire to be let
alone to die.
A few minutes earlier the police pa
troll had been called to the neighbor-
hood to get an intoxicated man, and
Samuelson was hurried to the vehicle
and taken to the station, where he
was ministered to by Dr. A. T. Leopold,
county physician, who was waiting for
him.
1t was thought at first from the
quantity of acid which had been spilled
that little or none of it had gotten into
the stomach and the chances for re.
covery were supposed to be good After
| he had been taken to the hospital he
rapidly sank and did not respond to
treatment.
The body was taken to the Daniel,
son & Furgie undertaking rooms,
where Coroner R. c. ]. Meyer conduct.
ed an inquest this afternoon at 8
/ o'clock
/ While Samuelson was unable to ex,
plain his act it is supposed that he was
Respondent because of his failure to
keep sober and was unwilling to face
the prospect Of again becoming a
