DAYLIGHT TIRE
THIEVES taken.
Two Davenport Men Arrested With
Loot Bolt Cutter LoOsens
Extra Castings.

Two Davenport men, alleged to
he expert tire thieves, were arrest
Al while driving an automobile
along Third avenue yesterday aft
ernoon. The arrest was by Officer
Earl Shannon.
Several tires claimed TO have
been stolen and a bolt-cutting ap-
naratus with which the men are
said to have been able to cut away
chains and locks holding spare
tires on Automobiles, were found.
They gave their names as v.
Wise, 1856 West Second street,
davenport, and A. Berger, S12 Far
nam street, Davenport. The police
vent to the last named address last
night and recovered tires worth
several hundred dollars. Many of
the tires were new, as they had
heen taken off racks before the
owners had found necessity for
their use.
All the tires recovered belonged
10 Davenport car owners, and al
though it is believed that the men
had been stealing tires for some
time it is not thought that they had
gone outside of Davenport. -.
Their trip to Rock Island yester-
day was evidently one TO begin OPP
erations on this side of the river,
the police say. With the bolt cut
ters. the men could work fast. A
few clips with the cutter and most
any size chain or ordinary paddock
would give way and the men could
prab the extra tire and be off in
their own car. The prisoners have
been turned over to the Davenport
authorities.
