while but
Now read on.

which does not enter into this tale.
lost one Of his legs Being of a bust
ness like nature he started out in the
world TO make what he could off the
TACT that he had but one leg. Where
all MS travels carried him after the
ever elusive coin Of the realm is not
known but they at least brought him
to Rock Island.
In accordance with the business
like way that Evans possesses he had
a very legal looking petition made out
on his arrival here which stated on the
cover that Il am a poor one-legged
man and | take this means of securing
funds with which to purchase an artl-
ficial limb so that may become a self
supporting citizen. Any little favor is
deeply appreciated
Well, that was pretty good for a
starter and was very neatly tvnew~i+-
ten. But the sly Evans went the
cover one better on the inslue ID
petition for aims, for there he had
written in all the styles Of chir0-
graphy known to man the names OF
many of our best and most prominent
citizens. Thus ne endeavored to show
that these prominent persons not only
put their stamp of approval on him
and his undertaking but gave to the
support Of the cause. Indeed, it did
make very nice appearing list unit
it was observed that the familiar
names of Rock Islanders we're those

This little story may never havt
gotten out on the sly, the clever, tht

the proceeds from yesterdays bust

liquor. But he did. As a result tn
