GAS IN THE coUN rY CLERKS OF
FICE.
Card from Sheriff Huesing.

To the Editors of The Argus:
An editorial in the Union of this morn
INF, states that the gentlemen employed in
making up the tax books are delayed in
their work for want Of good light, and SAYS:
few days ago the county clerk set Il. T. Reid
and Austin DOna dson at work making CIT the tax
books in the the circuit clerks office and
spoke 10 Sheriff Huesing about restoring The con
necttOn between the gas pipes Of this room and
Those of the jail The rherif positively reused TO
allow the connection to be made, and &c q C ,nsc-
anence the county business IL great y inpeded
The county clerk will therefore have TO appeal to
the committee on jail and Jail accounts to get the
needed ~. This committee consists of SurDeryls-
orr Parmcnter, Daley and McMurphy, AS they
have cha &c of III, jail they can order The connec
ton OF gas pipes to be made.
Ii is not true that the clerk spoke to me
on the subject. Mr. Reid spoke to me
about the matter, and | replied that ! had
no power to order gas used, and referred
him to the action of the board of super
visors, on the 18th of last September, as
follows:
The petition Of L. f. Harson, deputy circuit clerk
and John V. Cook county clerk, ask Dg the buaro
TO furnish la the several county offices was read
supervisor Reid moved to grant the prayer OF fhC
petitioners. Lost.
From this II will be seen that no one has
power to order the use OF gas in the rooms
occupied by the county clerk, lin the ja
building) without new authority being Civ
en- by the board of supervisors.
/ told Mr.. Reid that the board had no,
ordered the gas turned off at the court
house and that he could use the sheriff.
Office or the treasurer's Office evenings
that | would be glad to do anything
could to forward the public business. but
that ! would not dare to turn ON gas in MY
own dwelling without the order of tn,
board. MIR. Reid objected to using til,
rooms 10 the court house for the reason, 81
he said, that he did not like to lug hi
books from one building to the other.
There is no necessity for the public bust
ness being delayed. as a good gas light cal
be had in either the sheriff or the treasur
er's office, every evening, if the gentlemen
wish to use it. | have only done my duty
In obedience to the direction of the board
aud 1t is not just to charge me with de
side 10 impede public business.

Readers of The ARGUS will remember
the particulars of the arrest and incarcer.
alton of Gen" Marion Ogden, for the
wrecking of the east-bound passenger
train on the C. R. ]. & P. road on the
night of July 18th, and afterwards of the
arrest of two young men, living in Atkin
son, named Ham Summons and Bruce
Hull. for the same offense. Summons and
Hull confessed having thrown the train off
the track, land first said. that the General
had planned the job. and that he was to
rob the passengers and divide the ''swag'
with them. But when they we're brought
before the Henry county grand jury they
both confessed thar they alone had planned
and committed the deed, aud that Ogden
had nothing to do with it aud knew moth
ing about the matter except that he dis
covered them when they displaced the
switch. They said they had implicated
Ogden in order to lesson their own punish
ment. Under this state affairs the grand
jury could do nothing but discharge the
General" and bring in an indictmen,
against Sammons and Hull, and the for
mer was discharged from the Cambridge
| j il yesterday morning, greatly to his sur
prise, too, for he expected that he would
have to go to the penitentiary. although ht
protested strongly throughout his i'm
prisonment that he was innocent. Yester
| day afternoon Sammons and Hull ap
peared before Judge Peasants 10 the
Henry county circuit court aud plead
guilty to the charges in the indictment
They have not yet been sentenced

charged, went to his home in Atkinson

is Is years old; was large, powerful man
and had dark hair and beard when he wa
taken to Jail When released he hat
fallen off greatly in weight and his ha;
is now very gray.
His experience in this case should teacf

associating with, and he should try to live
so that he will not be the first person
suspected should another crime be com

1t is 20 years since Henry built that
place, aud he has in all that time kept
one Of the most highly respected places Of
entertainment in this city. Mr.. Volt
man is much above the average of men
for Intelligence and cultivation, and his
kindly ways and aniable disposition have
made his house fayorite with our best
citizens. Years ago Henry used occasion
ally to indulge in recitatiOns and lnin in
the festive song, and his place was always
the resort of musical and literary people.
where many happy hours we're whiled
away in a reasonable and temperate use cf
wine, lunch and cigars, interspersed with
pleasant chat and song and story, Henry
has grown rich and has hosts of real
true friends. He owns fine acre OF
ground on Fifth (Moline) avenue Lear

for his future home. Until then he will
rent house and Mr.. Harms will reside in
the upper part of the bui ding
Mr.. Harms is worthy successor Of Mr.
Woltman, and will keep up the reputation
of the house to its best He will connect
the west room with the saloon and put in
first class billiard tables aud put the whole
in such condition as to attract customers
ard render the place pleasant for all who
call
1t would be difficult to find two men in
Rock Island who have more warm friends
than Woltman and Harms. May they
both live long and prosper.
Tomorrow evening at s o'clock Henry
will shake the dear pubhc's great hand
and introduce his successor. 1t will be ;
quiet, reasonable, temperate, epjoyabl,

At 1928 this morning the death of Mrs.
Antoine LeClaire took place at her resi-
dence on the bluffs back ,of Davenport,
and in the midst of many Moving relatives
and friends. She was taken i'll in May
last, but was not regarded as very danger
ously sick until week since. when she
became afflicted with typhoid. fever. Since
that hour she has been gradually but
surely approaching dissolution. Monday
night she lost her faculty of speech, though
her senses remained. In all her sickness
she was wonderfully patient and cheerful,
borne up by the happy consciousness of a
blessed immortality. She never COM
planned Of anything always spoke with a
smile of love, and always said she was
getting better. Conscious to the last,
knowing and recognizing everybody, her
last act was to kiss the cruciix which she
always held in her hands And thus the
very first, ard one Of the best loved, of
the pioneer women of Scott county, peace
fully took her departure from the scenes
of her long and useful life.
Mrs LeClaire was born at Portage des
Sioux, st. Charles county, Mo-, October
| 10th, 1902. She was the daughter of An
tome lie Page, Canadian, and the grand
daughter of The Sac Chief Acoqua. who
was at one time the foremost man of his
nation. She passed her years in her ma
tive town, receiving as fine an education as
accomplished nuns could give her. until
the 9th day OF November, 1920. when she
became the wife of Antoine LIE Claire, then
in the Indian service of the government.
With her deceased husband she came here
in 1927, where, at Rock Island, Mr.. LIE
Claire was Z. S. interpreter for the Indians.
Their history is the history Of this locality
for nearly 50 years Mr.. lie Claire died in
May 1861. In aluding to the dangerous
illness OF Mr. LeClaire, the Gazette of this
morning said:
Mrs. LeClalre has been noted for her
sweet graces OF character. A more lovely
disposition than hers has rarely been
known. Her benevolence has long been
proverbial in this community-her chart
ties countless. A devout Catholic. she has
aided her church in many ways-but her
donations for the promotion of philanthropic
enterprises have not been confined to it by
any means. st. Margueri,e's church,
built and furnished by the munifceuce of
her husband, was named after her patron
Saint, and is monument to her memory
For years she has been unable to mingle in
society and thousands of Davenport's PEG
pie never saw her-but the whole city will
hear of her demise with sorrow.
The funeral will be at St Marguerite S
church on Friday morning at O'Clock, and
until then her remains will lie in state at
her late mansion, on the bluffs. There
will be High Mass at the funeral and her
remains will be buried beside those of Mr.
LeClaire. at the corner of the church.
