D. laundry in Davenport early yes terday morning. Late in the after neon Officer John Schmid, who was patroling the down town beat, saw a man who answered the description of the party wanted, at Reeca's saloon, on Ninth street and Fifth avenue. Soon after the officer entered the place the nejro went out and the former followed and arrested him. In order, if possible, to establish the prisoner's identity, bchmia tooic him bacs into the saloon and inquired if he was known. Finding tnat the fellow was a straDger the officer started to take him to the station. Just outside the door the negro started to put on his overcoat, which he bad been carrying, at the same instant making a jump to get away. Schmid grabbed at him and caurht hold of the coat, from which the negro slipped and ran. Al though hotly pursued and fo. lowed by a couple of shots from the officer's revolver, the fugitive succeeded in escaping. Rare Old Colas Stolen. In tho burglary of the C. O. D. laundry $35 in current coin and a collection of rare coins belonjjin'r to the manager, Cnarles Cruy, valued at $ 200, were taken. The discovery of some of the latter in pawn shops led to the arrest of lorn Kogers, a negro, who recently came to Davenport from Peoria, and part of the com collection was found in his room. Evidence also pointed to the fellow chased on this bide ot the river, who is also from Peoria, aud his very evident atiXiety to retain his freedom adds etroDg confirmation. Smashing Jag. Adolph Limbrccht, a Belgian, yes terday tilled up on Victor Van Nest's righting whisky and proceeded to promote the celebration by smashing a couple oi windows in the latter s saloon on Fifth avenue. He was taken in by the polieu. but was re leased pending a beanos on the charge ot disorderly conduct. Steals an Overcoat.

A moment later those in the store noticed him pass the window at tbe rear of the store and observed that he carried one of the firm's new overcoats.
