Two dips gazed on the crowd OF 1000
people who gathered at Watch Tower
park yesterday afternoon to hear Will
liam Jennings Bryan on the chautau-
qua program.
Easy pickings," they smiled at each
other, and they rubbed their hands in
anticipation of making a haul worth
while
In the midst of their plans Detective
Tom Cox spotted them. Simultane-
ously they saw him They guessed"
him in a minute and as soon as they
saw him start for them they broke into
a run. They were wise. One ran east
The other ran west.
Fred O'Hearn had chosen the direc-
ton of the land of the setting sun and
the detective chased him through the
crowd, finally capturing him. The de-
tective put him on a street car and the
two started for police headquarters
At the Sears station Patrolman Ris-
tau boarded the car. A few blocks
further on Detective Cox saw the other
dip who had escaped. The car was
stopped and Ristau was sent after the
pickpocket He is Jacob Goldberg.
The two spent the night at the po-
lice station here and today were taken
to Davenport where they were
''mugged" and a Bertillon taken of
them. Then they were released with a
sentence of six months suspended over
their heads.

Police have learned that the pair
have been following Bryan from place
to place. AS the noted speaker always
attracts a big crowd they find it profit
able to follow him. AS far as police
