BEATEN WHEN He
is AROUSED BY A
THUG AT HIS BED
Scott T. owings Retains Con
seriousness and Spreads
an Alarm.
THIEF MAKES A GETAWAY
Crooks Greed in Attempting to Take
Ring From sIeeper's Finger
Makes Work Fruitless.

Because he became aroused when
a burglar attempted to take diamond
ring from his finger Scott T. Owings,
formerly manager of the Manufactur-
ers' hotel billiard parlOrs, was beaten
over the head Sunday morning and
painfully injured. The blows failing
10 stun him the intruder fed without
securing anything for his trouble
Mr.. Owings was asleep on the third
floor of his home, 612 Twentieth street,
when the thief entered his ROOM 1t
was 2:45 when he was aroused by
someone touching him He moved
and Immediately there came crush
ing blow on the head, and then an
other. Before a third could be deliv-
cred he raised his right hand and this
caught the force OF the third strike,
the third finger being almost shatter-
ed BY this time he had found his
voice and his cries caused the thug 10
beat a hasty retreat. He bolted down
the stairway, stumbling over car
pet sweeper in the hall, which ratified
down the stairway after him \ room
er on the lower floor peered out OF
his room in time to see the intruder
bolt through an outer door TO the
street.
Mr.. Owings was not seriously in
jured, though his scalp was cut and
bruised. 1t is supposed that the as
saiIant used a sap in his efforts to
render him unconscious. The bed in
which he slept was OF feathers and
yielded with each blow so that the
victim was spared the full force. The
finding OF a clothesline near the bed
shows that il probably was the inten-
ton of the thief to tie Mr.. Owings up,
If necessary, to prevent him from in
terfering with the looting operations.
Examinations of the premises in the
morning showed that the burglar had
entered through a window on the
ground floor. a pile Of soft dirt UNA r
the window plainly showed his foot
prints. Apparently he had thoroughly
rausacked the first floor before going
further. A pile of siIverware, cut
glass, etc, near the door showed what
he intended to take away with him.
All the bedrooms on the upper floors 7
except that occupied by Mr.. Owings
were locked and no doubt most of
them were tried before the intruder
reached the one which he was able to
enter without resistance. Before attack 7
ing Mr.. Owings he made a thorough I.
search Of the room. Finding little of
value he turned his attention to the /.
bed, which he probably investigated I
some time for a purse or watch be- J
fore he noticed that the sleeper wore .
a diamond ring. Determined to get I
everything in sight at any cost he went 7
after this and so overreached himself !
and made his nights work fruitless. I

DEERE & co. NOW
WORK 10 HOURS
Employing Full Force Six Days
in the Week, Official
States.

That Deere & Co. is now operating
with practically a full force was ad-
mitted today by Frank d. Blake, pub
licity manager of the company. For
a number of weeks the number of men
employed has been gradually increased
till now all departments are running
10 hours a day six days in the week.
Mr. Blake stated, however, that no
more men would be employed for the
present.
Officers of the company deny that
there is any particular significance in
the increase in number of men en-
ployed, saying that it is the usual pro-
gram at this time of the year. Never
theIess, there seems to be strong
of optimism about the
big concern and employees, at least, be-
lieve that this is merely the begin
ming of long period of heavy produc-
ton.

DR.. SENSIBAUGH
FREED OF CHARGE
Case Against Former East Mo-
line Dentist Preferred at
Chicago Fails.

DR.. William C. Sensibaugh, former
~ practicing as a dentist in Port
Byron and East Moline has escaped
punishment at Chicago after being
accused in connection with an illegal
operation in which he and Mrs. Mary
Stejeskal, a midwife, were arrested.
Both were arrested and both were
discharged, lack of convicting evil
dence being the reason. This is not
the first time he has attained motor
iety. He came to Port Byron Is years
ago and married Miss Minnette How
ard, who last summer filled suit for
divorce.
Sensibaugh. while still practicing
his profession in East Moline, became
imbued with a sudden and overcoming
religious fervor. which prompted him
to close up shop and enter the evan
gelistic field. AS an evangelist he was
successful.
Now, however, according to the story
sent out from Chicago. Sensibaugh
has taken a decided fall from grace.
His arrest came after a 19-year-old girl
had swallowed poison presumably be-
cause Sensibaugh had cast her aside
for another woman. And at the same
time the former East Moliner was mar
ried, had a 4-year-old adopted daugh-
ter, and was supposedly a devout
Christian.
In Chicago, il is said, Sensibaugh
posed as a vice investigator and gen
eral evangelist, and also claimed to be
a former detective.

flaw was not a serious one. especially
as applying to the brick. for the phrase
