SERIOUS CUTTING ARRAY.

SERIOUS CUTTING AFFRAY.
Last night about IL 80 o'clock, serious
cutting ARRAY happened 10 Moline near the
government bridge. tho circumstances OF
which are about as follows:
Three men were coming along near the
Moline Plow Go. shops. and one of the
number, G. Svenson or Swanson. was q
few feet in advance Of the other two. He
was walking along unthinkingly, when he
was suddenly confronted By three men. one
Of whom with Ratchet 10 his hand. struck
Swanson heavy blow on the head. follow
ing it up with two more blows. telling the
man to the ground aud inHictiDg three
frightfuI 9ashss. His cries brought his
companions to che rescue and the attack
ing party fed. The injured man was
taken to his home and DR.. Morey was
called, who dressed bis wounds and did all
that was possible for his comfort.
Marshal Fish was notified and about
two hours later succeeded in arresting two
men supposed to be the attacking party =
they were calaboosed and to-day were
to have q hearing before Magis
trate Grover. But at noon they were still
held awaiting the result of Swauson's in-
iuries which are considered very serious.
The attack was premeditated.it is claim
ed, as Swanson had no known enemies
and was doing nothing TO provoke the
brutal assault. He is fearfully cut about
la oE la 10
and may prove fatal.
The preliminary trial will probably re-
suit in holding the prisoners in heavy
bonds.
There is altogether too mush of this. knife
and club business. and it should be stopp-
ed The severest penalty OF the law
should be inflicted at all times. Public
safety demands it.

The Case in a Nutshell. .

The plain, indisputable facts Of
the existing political situation in our
State, and the duty of every good
citizen in view Of these facts. could
not be more forcibly set forth than
is done in the following brief ex-
tract from an article in the Spring
field CO., Republic:
Either the Democratic or the Re
publican party is to govern this
country. Either Mr.. Foster or Mr..
Bookwalter is to be elected Cover
nor, and it is the duty of every voter
to choose between the two. The
man who joins q third party joins an
organization that is not in the fight
and ne knows it, He evades his
responsibility and shirks his duty.
He shows Tint he is not an earnest,
trustworthy man. worthy of the priv
iIega eecured by an immense expen-
diture Of blood Gnd treasure to the
American citizen. There are great
and serious problems now before the
American people, and grave possibil-
tiles and dangers hovering over the
land. The responsibility of meeting
these devolves upon the American
citizen, and it will be we'll indeed if
they can be successfully and safely
