- 8 THE ABGrTJS. FRIDAY. JCJXE 9, 1899. ROB MAYOR'S HOME, Burglars Pay Their Respects to Rock Island's Chief Executive. GET AWAY WITH $20 AYD TRINKETS RuiKk the Residence on Seventh Arcane at ma Early Hoar In the Evening v our the Member of the Household Are Gath ered on the Front Porch Brownies Have no Trace of the Unlltr Parties. Burglars paid their respeds to Major William McConochie Wednes day night, ransacking his residence at 2513 Seventh avenue and getting awaj with f20 in money and a num ber of trinkets. It was a nervy job and was exe cuted while the members of the house - hold were seated on the front porch, the intruders entering a door at the rear of the house. They performed their work so quietly that their visit was not discovered until they bad ample opportunity to shake .their heels of the dust of that neighbor hood. A lady whose home is on the south tide of Seventh avenne. and who went to the McConochie residence to use the mayor's telephone, first in formed the family that unbidden guest bad paid them a-Tisit, her sus picions being aroused by the derange ment of the furniture. An investigation disclosed the fact that $15 had been taken from the purse of a visitor at the McConochie home, and f 5 from the dresser of Miss Belle McConochie, the mayor's daugh ter, also various articles that could be easily earried away. "o Trace of Clnlltr Ones. The brownies have no trace of the guilty parties. The robbery was com mitted at 'J:30, at an hour when the brownies should be awake and about, and it is to be deplored thay were so stupid as to allow their friend and chief, above any other person in town, to be victimized by dark-lantern men. It might have been worse, though, and now the mayor better exercise ex traordinary vigilance to prevent the theft of a bunch of his brownies some dark night. The Weather We Maj Have.
