SALOON TAPPED
FOR A LARGE sum
Thieves Enter Bartlett Place in
Third Avenue and
Get $140.

The first robbery in many weeks
was reported to the local police last
night, when William Bartlett, propri-
etor OF saloon at 1916 Third avenue,
lost $40 in cash to thieves who en-
tered his place of business sometime
during the night.
Entrance was made through a rear
window and the thieves had no trou-
BILE in securing all of the money in the
place, for the safe had been carelessly
left open. The thieves seemed evil

did not go near the cash register.
Bartlett has long been a nemesis to
thieves. having gained this name
when he pursued Silas Bender and
his partner some months ago and as

days ago Bartlett captured another
thief in the alley at the rear of his sa-
loon while the man was trying to
break into the place and turned him
over TO the police.

the heat while firing one of the new
engines which are being used on this
division, yesterday afternoon at about
4 O'Clock, one mile west of Geneseo.

DECATUR PLAYERS
STAGE BIG FIGHT
IN MOLINE HOTEL
Riot at Manufacturers Hostel
~ Puts European War
in Shade.
WAS 1T A DRUNKEN BRAWL?
Riots Seem Frequent In Three-Eye
Leasue-Lishts and Windows
Shattered by Bricks.

War activities were transferred TO
Moline for a short time last night
when the Decatur baseball club of the
Three-Eye league, which just complet-
ed a series here with the local ball
tossers, engaged in free-for-all
brawl at the Manufacturers hotel. and
after they had finished the place
looked as if it had been hit by Kan
sas cyclone.
Just what happened cannot be learn
ed. for the club left early this morning,
but judging from the appearance OF
the interior of the hotel annex there
must have been a riot that would
make a Chicago strike or an anti
Rockefeller demonstration look like a
Sunday school picnic.
Chandeliers were shattered and the
broken glass from the globes was scat
tered all over the floor, windows were
broken, nearly dozen straw hats
we're found in various parts of the
building crushed and torn, furniture
was overturned and smashed. and
bricks we're found lying about in close
proximity to shattered windows and
door panels.
on the streets of the city this morn
ing it was rumored that the Decatur
players had engaged in a drunken
brawI There were a number of empty
beer bottles and a couple of empty
whiskey TASKS found among the de-
bris but they were by no means so
numerous as to have resulted in the
intoxication of Il men.
For that reason many think that
dissension arose among certain men,
bers OF the team and an individual
fight was joined by others and ulti-
mately resulted in a free-fOr-all en-
counter in which bricks and other ar
ticIes were used. The fierceness of
the scrap was shown by the damage
done to the interior OF the building,
and unless the matter is amicably set
tied with the hotel management things
are apt TO go bad with the Decatur
club, both officials and players.
Trouble is Frequent.
This scrap is by no means the first
BIT of rowdyism Witnessed in the
Three-Eye league this year. for riots
on the diamond and forfeited games
coupled with incessant rag-chewing,
are feature Of the tri-optic organiV-
ton.
Whether OF not any outsiders par
ticipated in the trouble IS not known,
but at least one brick thrown went
outside the hotel. II shattered a win
dow in the hotel proper and went
through a wooden shutter into the al
ley.

Have you had it? If not, you shouls

There are many people of the CITY
who may think that they already have
it, but they are mistaken. They sim.
ply have autobugitis, a mental de.
rangement which makes one think in
terms of gasoline, cranks, magneto
and carburetors.
But the real autotis is an altoseth.
er different thing. True, 1t causes
mental suffering, but that is merely
supplementary to physical pain.
1t is the malady of the short man
and the long car. Only short men or
women may have it; consequently its
aristocracy and exclusiveness. At
present there are nearly a dozen
known cases of the disease in Moline.
Watch These Symptoms.
The symptoms take the form of
severe pain in either the right or the
left side, which resembles rheumatism
1t hurts just like rheumatism, too
That is why it is certain to become
popular among those who are FORUM
ate enough to possess automobiles.
AS far as is known the local physt
clan is the first to diagnose this NAL
ady as autotis. The local press learn
ed about it through one of the doctors
patients, and the doctor himself was
then consulted. He admitted the dis
covery-blushingly of course-you've
surely seen a doctor blush, and con
firmed the rumor. He believes that
Moline is in danger of an epidemic Of
the disease.
at is the disease of the short man
and the long car said the doctor in
autoitis. 81 have had good
many cases of that sort to treat lately.
The constant strain on a short man
in reaching for the various levers and
of the car, ultimately re-
suits in a severe pain in the side, re
sem bling rheumatism. That is auto
