goes indigestion and stomach troubles.

DIETz A VICTIM
OF HOLDUP MEN
Acquaintanees Delighted Over the
Fact That They Have at Last
Got. Something On "Cy."
HE REFUSES TO LEAVE HOUSE
Benefit Box in Which Only Pennies
VIII Be Accepted Established
at the Court House.

That a bird never flew so high
but that it came down for water is
the saying used by associates at
law. friends and acquaintance of
Cyrus E Dietz, well known Moline
attorney, who have at one time or
another been subjected to the keen
wit of the attorney, and who were
informed this morning that ICY"
was held up at 11:20 last night on
Fourteenth avenue between Fortieth
and Forty-first streets, this city,
and robbed of SS5 by two we'll
armed bandits while the attorney
was enroute to Moline in his auto
mobile
All who know the attorney de-
clare that they have got something
on ICY" at last. This belief seems to
be well founded as the attorney alb
solutely refused to appear at the
court house this morning to be
made the butt of jests of the
bunch" patiently waiting for him.
That which has tickled the funny
bone Of all at the court house from

victim of the hoId-up with his as

ing industriously yesterday after
noon to gain the acquittal of James
Wilson, paroled negro prisoner,
whose case on a charge of burglary
and larceny began Yesterday That
the efforts of ICY" in behalf of an
alleged burglar should be so poor
ly repaid as to be held up by 9TH
ers of the criminal world, is a cir
cumstance that is considered
huge joke by those who know of
the affair, and especially so as the
affair gives an opportunity for
many to ''get back" at the Moline
attorney for some of his pointed re-
marks made in the past, and for
which he is famed
However, sympathy is shown in
the affair, but it is of such a ma
ture as to be jocular in the ex-
IRENE. A box has been placed in
the office of the circuit clerk at
the court house and placard~which
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-01-16

reads: Benefit for Cy Dietz." is
attached thereon.
Those in charge of the benefit
to be contributed, and with these
the box is being rapidly filled.
Judge, jurymen, court attaches,
attorneys, county officials and Wis
itors at the court house push and
jam for, an opportunity to get close
enough to the box to add their
contributions.
City hall officials sent a messen-
ger with an envelope crammed with
pennies for the fund and written
on the envelope is: In sympathy"
That "Cy' is fully aware of what
is awaiting him if he appears at
the court house today is shown by
his refusal to be enticed by any
means to make his appearance.
He was informed -by telephone
that if he did not appear he would
probably be fined for contempt of
court, but ICY" answered: Say,
/ guess l can afford to lose a lit
tie more money; and then he
brought the receiver down with a
bang. He was told again that box
nearly full of money was awaiting
him aid the contributors were anx-
iously awaiting him to come and
make a speech of acceptance, "Cy''
said: Go hang yourself"
A more serious side of the case
was made known by the attorney
in his statement that if he appeared
on the scene the demonstration
that would be forthcoming might
jeopardize the case in which he
was appearing and to which de-
Tense he, together with his assoc
ciates, had been appointed by Judge
W. T. Church for the reason that
the defendant has no funds with
which to pay an attorney.
The facts of the hold-up are
these: Mr.. DietZ was on his way
to Moline fast night when on Four
teenth avenue between Fortieth and
Forty-fiTst streets he was made
aware of the presence of robber
by a man jumping to the running
board of his car. The bandit OPP
ened the rear door of the machine
and entering the car, showed a bus
mess like revolver in proximity to
the victims head and commanded
him to stop the machine. This was
done and another robber appeared
on the scene. 1t took but a few
minutes to complete the job, which
resulted in the loss of $50 to the
victim. The men then left the car
and made their escape. The Rock
Island police were Immediately
but as yet no arrests have
been made in the case.
