AS EARTH SLIDES
Traffic on Thirty-Eighth Is Threatened
When Ground Slips From En-

COURT HOUSE NEWS

Warren and Albert Moore, colored,
aged 10 and Is respectively, who were
in county court yesterday afternoon
charged with delinquency, had their
cases continued until Feb. by Judge
n. A. Larson. The lads were alleged
to have stolen brass and copper from
Abraham Katz. Rumor to the effect
that the boys had been forced to steal
because Of poverty, is denied by
Charles Oswald, overseer Of the poor,
who says that he has had the family
under observation for months and that
restitution was not responsible for
trouble in which the lads find them
selves.

In arrests made by the police yes

band of box car burglars which had
been operating in Rock Island for the
past two weeks were stopped Four
men arrested have confessed
The quartet gave their names as
Ben Skidmore, Frank Lewis, Peter Nc
Loughlin and r. W King. They were
picked up at various places and at diff
ferent hours yesterday afternoon. De-
tectives Cox and Sehnert and Officer
Ginnane nabbed them.
Railroad detectives and police for
the past two weeks have been helpless
to stop burglaries of freight cars
which have been passing through the
city on the Milwaukee railroad. Prac-
tically every morning for the last half
month reports came to the local au-
thorities of cars which had been en-
tered.
Break in Six Tuesday.
Tuesday night seals on six cars were
broken by the thieves and police yes
terday started out to round up the
gang This morning the four were
closely questioned and finally admit
ted to the detectives that they were
responsible for the burglaries. The
value of the goods stolen is not known,
Police said the company would first
have to take an inventory to determine
the amount of the losses.
Breaking seals on freight cars is a
violation of interstate commerce laws
and it may be that the four will be ar
court. The four told the police they
were from other cities.

Fires

Fires
The barns on the Stokes farm near
Jacksonville, we're burned Saturday
evening.
About nine o'clock Sunday evening
the Burlington fire department was
called to look after fire on the road
from Burlington to Columbus on the
Tallman farm. The barn and other
outbuildings were destroyed, but the
dwelling was saved. A horse and COW
we're burned, together with large lot
of hay.
This fire had just about been con-
trolled when Burlington's chief recelv-
ed word that there was large blaze on
the poultry farm Of Mr.. Wood, near
Burlington. A chemical engine was
sent to the place. The flames had
gained such Roadway, however, that
the firemen could not save the poultry
houses which, with a large number Of
chickens, were destroyed. The loss is
estimated at $1,000 with $4,000 insur-
ance. Americas chemical engine re-
sponded to call to this fire.
The Burlington department had an
other call yesterday morning when il
was announced that a house on west
Broad street was on fire. Before the
apparatus could be ordered into service,
however, bucket of water settled the
matter.
The large farm house on the property
of William p. Bryan, near Pasadena
was totally destroyed yesterday morn
ing about nine o'clock. The building
was frame structure and it burned
rapidly. There was considerable fur
niture in the house. How the fire
started is unknown as the house haC

are several large barns on the place bu
the wind blew the flames away from
them and they were saved.
