STEALS BICYCLE;

New Windsor Young Man Ar
rested by Police Confessed
Having Taken Machine.

Rock Island police this morning ar
rested William Grarry, aged % years
of New Windsor. H., at the corner OF
Twelfth street and Seventh avenue. He
has confessed to having stolen a bicy-
Gle and attempting to sell it.
The strange part of the case is, Grar-
ry does not know who the owner of the
wheel is. He claims that he picked it
up somewhere. but does not know
where. While he admits the crime, yet
he states that he does not know why
he stole the bicycle, claiming that he
had never attempted anything similar
before.
The police today were busy attempt
ing to locate the owner When arrest
ed Grarry was attempting to sell the
bicycle. and it was through this that
the police became suspicious that it
was not his. He came clean" when
arrested.

DANCE IN STREET
is NECUS' idea
Rock Island House Owner
Sprung 1t When Painting
His Building Was Talked of.

MANY have wondered who first adj
vanced the unique idea of having a
dance in the street during the dedica-
ton ceremonies for the 1900 block this
evening. Even some of the members
of the 1900 Block association are not
quite certain when the subject was
first preached.
Credit for the suggestion should be
given where 1t is due, and 80 some
pains has been takenst to trace the idea
back to the fountain head. II has
been found that W. o. Negus is the
one who first sprung it. 1t was dur
ing one of the meetings of the associa-
ton and the subject of painting the
buildings was up. Mr.. Negus was be-
ing strongly urged to paint the east
side of the Rock Island house white to
match the front and was endeavoring
to divert discussion to new directions
by making suggestions of other things
which might be done.
The dance during the dedication was
one of the many innovations he pro
posed at this time. Coming. as it did.
in company with a whole flock of other
unique suggestions, a number of those
present failed to grasp it. but two or
three succeeded in grabbing it out
and sailing it away for future consid-
Grafton
So Mr. Negus gets full credit for the
idea which is expected to do more than
any other in helping the dedication
program draw thousands of people. He
also carried his point in regards to
the painting of his building.
