NEGROES TAKEN
AFTER A CHASE
Dusky Youths Arrested for Stealing
Brass at Rock Island Pillow
COmpaHy-BOund Over.

Ninety pounds of brass valued at
40 cents a pound got William Har-
we'll, aged II years, and James
Coleman, aged 15, both negroes,
into trouble late Saturday after
noon. The dusky youths were ar
rested at 5 o'clock after an exciting
chase by watchmen employed by
the Rock Island Plow company.
At a hearing in police court this
morning they were bound over to
the grand jury under bonds of $500
each on charges of burglary and
larceny and remanded to the COUNT
jail. Both boys denied the charges
lodged against them.
1t seems that various quantities
of brass had been missed from the
foundry of the pillow company.
Testifying at the hearing were
Louis Eckhardt 81 Eleventh
street, foreman of the foundry;
Henry Dryoel, 623 Fourth street,
night Waterman at the plant and
CAMEL De Dapper, 524 Second
street, day Waterman.
Eckhardt identified the loot
which had been placed in q sack
for conveyance by the negro youths.
According to the evidence they
were frightened away by Dryoel
and De Dapper as they were pack
ing the sack, and abandoning their
loot, fled from the grounds of the
plant and towards the city. The
watchmen ran in pursuit overtak-
ing the negroes who had been
halted by firemen at city fire sta
ton on Eighth street between Sec
ond and Third avenues. A call was
sent in for the police and the pair
was lodged in a cell.
Dryoel and De Dapper testified
that they saw Harwell and Coleman
bending over the sack near a door
in the foundry. They also stated
that an attempt had been made Fri
day night to force the foundry door.
1t is thought that the youths OBJ
tanned entrance Saturday afternoon
through the door, which was found
in a damaged condition.

Mrs. Laut Was So Weak Could
Hardly Comb Hair-Praises
Tanlac.

Besides getting relief from my
u years suffering l have actually
gained % pounds in weight, and
you may know by that what / think
of Tanlac," said Mrs. Eleanor Laut
Of 2O9 Knoxville avenue, Peoria, in
conversation with the special
Tanlac representative at the SUIT
lift & Case drug store recently.
It's enough to make anyone
shout for JOY" she continued, Ito
get the wonderful relief Tanlac has
given me. l always suffered from
nervousness, indigestion, and rag
ing headaches after eatinng, and
was deprived of the pleasure of eat
ing a real meal for nearly IL years
on account of the bad condition of
my stomach. 1 was forced to live
on soup and the very lightest and
most delicate foods in order to save
myself the most intense suffering,
for if I ate anything heavy / would
almost die of pain in and about my
stomach. In fact, most everything
ate would sour right after / had
eaten it and cause me so much mis-
cry that I simply had to stop eat
ing only just enough to keep body
and soul together. Then 1 began
going down hill rapidly and lost
weight until 1 was almost a living
skeleton and all my strength SEEM
ed to leave me. I was so weak and
nervous I couldn't do my house
work and hardly had strength to
comb my hair. Then, after suffer-
ing all day, couldn't get any rest
at night Almost as soon as
would retire, my head would begin
to ache and throb, would get aw-
fully nervous and night after night
l would lay awake until 1, 2, 3 and
sometimes 4 a'clock before closing
my eyes for sleep. So you can i'm
agine how terrible l felt in the
mornings with another day Of suf-
fering and pain before me. l be-
came so discouraged and despond-
emit over my awful condition that
sometimes just prayed to be taken
out of it
But, thanks to Tanlac, things
are different now with me. One
day I noticed in the paper where
someone suffering almost like my
self had been relieved by Tanlac,
SO OTQSI0u d DOLLiS, anu III d SlOl
time there was a wonderful change
in my feelings. began to have a
calm, restful feeling, instead Of be-
ing fidgety and nervous a-s l had
been. I soon acquired a wonderful
appetite; so big, in fact, that for a
while I was afraid to eat all crav-
ed. But / soon found could eat
as big a meal as at any time of my
life without it hurting me. It's no
wonder l feel so thankful to Tan
lac, because when 1 found It,
found health and happiness. My
stomach trouble. with all the pain
and distress caused by it is gone,
and 1 enjoy my meals to the limit.
And when I retire at night fall
right off to sleep and never hear a
sound until morning. am always
glad Of the day ahead of me now,
for life Is q pleasure. I really feel
as healthy and strong as when [
was a girl and can't refrain IRON
telling others what Tanlac has dom
for me-"
