ticking Of the telegraph instrument on
the table in the corner the room was
Quiet. Brown. Reeves and Ward,
sprawled in careless attitudes IN
chairs about the room, were listening
intentlv as Brown, in a low tone, read
off the report of the race as the ticker
brought il in.
suddenly the instrument began a
nuch faster tattoo. Brown, who had
tilted hack a trife in his chair, brought
the front legs 10 the floor with crash
and leaped to the table. grabbing the
sending instrument and opening
switches almost instantaneously-
My God, the riders fallen OFF!
This was the startled exclamation
that brought Reeves and Ward to their
feet with a jump and left me with a
queer, hard lump in my throat.
Early the trio bent over the table
and listened as the ticker brought the
dire news. With bIanched face, Brown
turned to me- His mouth was slightly
agape. and his eyes, strained open,
seemed to see clear through me.
Now. were in for it, he said. The
Jockeys dead and the horse is running

word Of it, or We'll all get in bad for

The three men all seemed terror
stricken and l could have sworn that
beads OF perspiratiOn stood out on the
face of Brown, who handled the in
strument."
This was the dramatic story told
Sheriff Eckhardt, Davenport, by W. H.
Keairne. the Shelby county farmer,
who on Saturday caused the arrest OF
J. W. Reeves. H Ward and John Brown
after he had been swindled out OF SlO,-
600 on a fake horse race in a pool room
on the fourth floor of the Mccullough
building.
The telegraph instruments, tele-
phones and Office fittings Of the gang
were found in the room by Detective
Packey Phelan of the Davenport police
department early Monday morning,
and since then the sheriff and state
deputies have been keeping a close
watch for further developments.
Others in Moline.
Monday night, two men whom the
night clerk at the Manufacturers ho-
tel in Moline recognized as members
of the gang Of five men who engaged a
room there last week, came to the hotel
in an automobile and secured some
laundry and various other things
which they had left behind when they
vacated the room Saturday.
They inquired the road to Rockford
and left at once. Sheriff Eckhardt was
notified and with one of the state
agents here, visited the hotel yester-
day. On the register they found the
names of all five of the members of
the gang and Sheriff Eckhardt declares
that while they all registered under
false names, he has the correct names
of the men and will take steps to have
them apprehended.
