l2-d&wlw Moline, Ills.
At one time she was a crusader
and was loud and earnest in her
denunciations of the liquor trathc-she was
a widow then. Her many attractions
charmed the heart of ahorse doctor named
Hubbard and, few months ago, they were
married. But alas for the uncertainties OF
connubiat bliss (?); he flung her aside,
crushed her young ~ heart and returned
her to our pure little city of Moline. Much
more could be said, but here we will drop
the curtain and leave the rest for an in
quisitive public to hunger after. Suffice
to say, that it looks as if the number Of
boarding houses would soon be increased

defended himself. This morning they
were brought before Justice Mapes. Ris'
, was fined 81 and costs. Seguin was no
fined but he was not destined to go free

filming an innocent man was rather severe
y but ne can hardly be blamed as the test

and OF course he had to be governed &C
cordingly.
