Rock Island lawyers are the sieepiest

patch, Oct. 19.
Now we would ike to know what Levi
Michael Haverstick, editor of the Even
ing Dispatch. published at Moline. has
against the lawyers of Rock Island. What
have they done to him? We have always
been of the opinion that the lawyers of
Rock Island were wide awake-that they
have attended to the Business of their
clients entrusted to them, honorablg. fairly
promptly and to the best of their several
abilities. Probably some of them have
been too wide wake for the little Levi.
