John Staubach, who created the sensa-
ton on Perry street, Monday evening, by
taking his child from his wife, who was on
IA train bound for the west, was taken be-
fore Justice Kaufman, yesterday morning.
and tried for carrying concealed weapons
that was the charge preferred. Staubach
told the court that he and his wife had led
an unhappy life at home for months, and
that the woman had been untrue to him. He
said she was in the act of clipping to Join a
paramOur, when he took the child from
her; he had no objection to her going away,
but he wanted his child brought I'D in a
decent way, and not amid the evil that will
be sure to befal the mother. The Justice
heard his story, but could do no less than
find him guilty as charged and so fined him
So with costs. 1t turns out that the
mother was not on sinful flight, aud that
her sister and brother in law, to whose
home she was going, were with her. So
officer Niles was right in not OBTAINING her.
Guess whisky is to blame for the trouble in
the household. Gazette, I'd.
If John Staubacl told that story in
Esq Kauffman's court, or anywhere else,
he told what no intelligent man in Rock
Island believes. AS far as we can learn,
bis wife bears good name in Rock Island,
and tried hard to influence him to lead
an industrious and reputable life. Unfor-
tunately, his habits were so firmly fixed
before their marriage that she could not
change them. If they lived unhappily no
one will believe twas her fault, but people
do believe that his irregular life drove her,
at last to seek the protection of her rela-
lives, where she and her child may be be-
| yond his bad influence.

The celebration Of the 9th anniversary
of American Odd Fellowship, here, on
Wednesday, was pleasant affair. The
attendance from neighbOring towns was
not as large as was expected, because the
railroads refused the usual courtesies, and
would not issue excursion tickets. There
were about forty visiting brethJ en-
present.
The attendance Of home members was
small, from various causes.
There were some failures in the pro-
gramme, as announced, but for all the
short comings the excellent speeches OF
Col. J. Jay Buck, and DR.. W. d. Gentry,

ner at Bays, made up. The boys all said
they had good time.
