Mike Johnson and James Scott,
East Moline negroes arrested Tues
day morning with a load of -four.
have confessed that the flour was
stolen. They declared that they
took the Is sacks and some canned
goods from a railroad car in Cen
eseo.
According to the story told by the
men this is not the first trip made
from Geneseo. They confessed
having rified a car once before
Four other East Moline men were
implicated in the confession.
The police are now looking for
the other members of the party
who are alleged to have entered
freight cars on several occasions.
The men fed when Johnson and
Scott were taken.
Johnson is held at present on a
charge of carrying a concealed
weapon, having a Colt 80 in his pos
session at the time of the arrest.
Disorderly conduct is the charge
against Scott.
Both charges will probably be
changed to larceny after the con-
-fession is put into the hands of the
railroad authorities.
