DRIVER NOT
BLAMED IN DEATH
OF JOHN PEARSON

The findings Of the coroner's Jury
this morning proved that M. D.
Tomlinson, Sherrard motorist, was
not to blame for the death of John
Pearson.
No mention of the accident was
made by the jury's verdict, the jur-
ors holding, evidently, that Pearson's
accident Sunday afternoon had no
connection with his death at the
city hospital yesterday.
The verdict, based on testimony
Of DR.. A. T. Leopold, Pearson's ply
stefan, who claims death was at
tributed to forcible reduction of
hernia, was that death was due to
shock and peritonitis from . per-
forated intestine.
Mr.. Tomlinson, who appeared at
the inquest, declared that his auto
mobile merely brushed Pearson to
one side. According to other testi-
mony John appeared uninjured
after the automobile incident and
was seen on the street nearly an
hour afterwards.
No funeral arrangements have as
yet been made. Two sisters, Mrs.
M. B. Lindahl and Mrs. Emma John
son, the only known survivors, are
expected to arrive from Chicago
this afternoon.

HIGH SCHOOL

BURGLARIzED
There's Werk While Basketball

Sun u IS a9d Toels.

Mckinley high school Of Silvis
was ransacked from top to base
ment by burglars last night. The
net result OF the nocturnal descent
OF the thieves on the institution
Of learning was about $15 in cash
and kit Of tools belonging to the
janitor of the building.
A basketball game was played in
the schools gym last evening and
the supposition is that the burglars
worked under the cover Of the ex-
element. The fact that no means
Of forceful entrance to the building
could be found this morning when
the robbery was discovered gives
rise to this theory. The janitor
found all doors and windows lock-
ed.
The janitor's room in the base
ment was forced open and his tools
appropriated. 1t is believed that
these were used to pry open doors
leading to rooms, for all teachers
desks in the building were found
ransacked of all valuables.
POOlroom Robbed.
The Clubhouse billiard parlor at
AS Thirteenth street, Moline, was
robbed of $46 in cash some time
last night, according to report Of
the owner, Harry Guy, made to the
police today. The money was con-
tanned in a box in a desk behind
the counter. Guy attributes the
job to someone who had been in
the habit Of loafing about his place.
