At last tho police of this city and Davenport believe that they have solved the mystery of the thefts of metal and wire that have been going on since early last winter in the three cities. Following the arrest Friday by Oflicer Moody of William and George Winters, wanted in Davenport for the alleged theft of two bells from locomotive engines, two Davenport couples, Mr. and Mrs. Claude Helm aud Mr. aad Mr;. Vaughn, with whom the Winters lived, were taken into cus ody. and all six are in the Daven port jail.

Se curity was furnished and the prisoner released. How Wire Wsa Stolen. According to the confession, the Winters and Klugger took part in the wire theft that occurred in South Rock Island several weeks ago. when about eigbt hundred pounds of heavy copper ieed wire was cut from the poles with a long-handled pair of nip pers and .hauled away. The party who confessed says Klugger hauled the plunder away in hit wagon and buried it some place south of town. Liter it was dug up and shipped, aud then, it Is charged. Klugger failed to mate a fair divvy, lne confessor also stated Xhat Klugger furnished a saw with which the engine balls were cut away and taken. It will be recalled that when the brass letters that were to be used on the new McCabe building were stolen froTU te Mager foundry in this city last winter and later found at Klug gler's yard, the junk dealer claimed to have received the ttniT from a boy named Krohn. When it came to the trial, however, he would not swear to the identity of the prisoner and so the prosecution had to be dropped. Now it i9 under stood one of the Winters did the job and Klugger came near implicating an innocent youth to shield him. Light on Other C.e The parties who took a lage quan tity of brass from the People's Power company remain undiscovered, as do thoee who tore up the return wire from a line of the Tri-City Railway company in west Daveuport, and it is expected that before the present case is settled thev wjll be brought to 1'Rht. - TELEPHONE GIRLS' EXCURSION TONIGHT The Rock Island telephone girls have their annual steamboat excur sion this evening on the new steamer J.
