DIDN'T AGREE.

A fight between coon and dog may
be very exciting sport to the contestants,
as well as those who are backing their re
spective favorites with hard earned wealth,
but there are times and places when such
encounters jar upon the sensibilties of
people who do not enjoy such amuse-
ment.
A case in question occurred last Sunday
evening, in close proximity to one of the
city churches. The fight took place in the
rear of a saloon and the canine was MAX
ing up in noise what he lacked in fighting
ability. The barking was continued from
730 o'clock until nearly nine. The dog
did not possess q strictly musical bark. for
it failed to cord with the several vocal
numbers rendered. In fact the barking
was not an agreeable accompaniment to
the minister's voice as he delivered the SER
mon, and finally one of the deacons left
the church and silenced the noise by an
order to separate the contestants.
The dog fight ceased, and the church
service was given q chance to proceed
without further interruption.

FIRE.

A fire occurred at Hampton, a town
some twenty miles above this city, early
Monday morning, which completely de-
stroyed the large store of Heagy s. Stod-
dard, with all its contents.
The origin of the fire is unk known, but is
supposed to have originated from a spark
blown against the building. 1t was first
discovered at two O'Clock in the morning.
The alarm was given. but owing to the de-
fective fire apparatus at hand, the flames
spread and consumed the contents and
Quilted the building.
The loss on the building is estimated to
be $4, 600, while the loss on the goods will
not fall short of $5, ,0O0l
The building was insured for $4,000 In
the Pennsylvania Fire Insurance Com
pany, represented by Gilmore w. Hurst, of
this city. The insurance on the stock was
carried by an agency in Hampton, and the
exact amount cannot be ascertained.
The store of Heagy & Stoddard was the
largest in Hampton, as it was conducted
in connection with the coal mines owned
by the firm, A large amount of stock was
usually carried, but it is thought that the
amount ON hand was comparatively small
owing to the dull season of the year.
1t is generally supposed that the build
ing will be replaced Immediately, or as
soon as the adjusters have visited the place
and settled on the amount of loss.

A BUTCHER.

Z. M. McCaughty was up before Justice
Cropper yesterday for disorderly conduct
The evidence submitted at the examination
tended to show that the prisoner was of a
nomadic disposition, who travels about
from place to place and has no permanent
residence or abode. In addition to that
popularity, he had in his possession a
bowie knife that it was not considered es-
sential for his temporal or spiritual happi-
ness. He was accused of f1ourishing that
weapon around in promiscuous style to
the detriment and danger of those who
were in the immediate vicinity.
The prisoner claimed that he was a
butcher and from the far west and that
the knife was used by him in carving
meat.
The explanation did not appear to sat
isfy the court, as he imposed a fine of 81
and costs against the western butcher.

LOCAL NEWS.
A Petition to Establish a City
Rock Pile.
Excursions of the Future and
the Past.
A Guaranteed Man and His
Break for Liberty.
A GOOD MOVE.

Some weeks ago the ARGUS contained
interviews with Police Magistrate Cropper
and Marshal Miller on the subject of a city
rock pile where INDECENT offenders against
the various city ordinances could be kept
at work instead of proving an expense to
the city by entailing the cost of their i'm
prisonment in case such sentence was
imposed against them.
Both of these officials were pronounced
in their assertions on the subject. They
maintained that under the present system
if prisoner had no money he was an ex-
pense to the city while awaiting trial, and
if found guilty he must either be ordered
out of town or committed to the armory
when another bill was incurred for his
meals and lodging.
They contended that while the expense
was an important factor in a proper con-
consideration of the problem, the chief
end in securing rock pile was to prevent
petty crime With hard work staring the
ordinary tramp, vagabond and general hard
cases that infest city, in the face. they
would not be so apt to remain, and when
suspected they could be arrested and set to
work if they failed to give good account
of themselves.
The agitation of the subject by the
ARGUS has resulted in having petition
written up which requests the city council
to take some steps in the matter.
The petition is at the drug store of Nc
Cabe & Wheaton, where it is receiving the
signatures of many prominent citizens, and
is as follows:
To the CITY Council Of the city Of Rock
Island;
The undersigned, citizens of Rock Is
land, respectfully represent that the pres
ent practice of arresting tramps, drunken
loafers and the like gentry, and furnishing
them with food and lodging at the ex-
pense of the people, is sort of punish
ment calculated to increase, rather than
decrease the evil.
We respectfully petition you to pass an
ordinance providing that the cases, where
parties are unable or unwilling to pay
their fines, they shall be compelled to work.
