HEAVY FINE.

Henry Rathborn was arrested this morn
ing by Officer Meenan, on a charge of
malicious mischief. He had hearing be-
fore Justice Chopper and was fined 800,
in default of which amount he was com
mitted to jail.
The evidence submitted at the prslimi-
nary examination tended to show that last
Sunday night Rathbern was slightly intox-
icated. While In that condition he visited
the c., B. s Q. track between this city and
Moline. and placed an immense stone on
one of the rails. A freight train coming
along about that time, the locomotive
threw the obstruction from the tack.
This enraged the man who sought to OBJ
struct travel, and he amused himself by
throwing stones at the caboose and freight
cars as they passed him.
This is the second arrest that has been
made in that quarter for throwing at
trains.

IS was paid to the contractors. This they
thought was not sufficient to remunerate
them for their labors. They thought that
an additional thousand dollars would
about make the bill square, but this the
committee having the matter in charge re-
fused to allow.
The suit now commenced increases the
amount of damages to $4,000.
The Mayer intimated this morning that
it was probable that the suit would be
fought to the bitter end, and might be car
ried to the Supreme Court, as he did not
believe that the city was indebted to the
contractors in thu amount asked for, and
was not disposed to allow the case to go
by default.

THE ESCAPE.

1t has been learned from Amberg, the
cell mate of Charles Pruss, who made his
escape from the county Jail, that the pris-
oner took his departure Monday morning
at 8 o'clock
1t viii be remembered that at that time
a severe rain and thunder storm was in
progress, and the jail bird took advantage
of the noise made by the rain falling on
the tin roof to make his exit from that
county institution.
Ambsrg states than when he retired Sun
day night Pruss, was walking in the cell.
Amberg went to sleep and was aroused at
o'clock Monday morning. He saw the
cell door open and Pruss standing at the
door. He heard the arsenal clock strike
three. He waited to see whether the
guard, Bailiff Harris, would discover
Pruss' attempt at escape. but no such dis
covery was made. He heard Pruss go up
the iron staircase and around on the iron
platform to the west of the cells. He also
heard Pruss as he pulled himself over the
rafters, but could not hear him after he
reached that eminence, as the rain falling
on the roof made considerable noise.
Amberg claims that he does not know
when Pruss sawed off the rivet to the cell
door, nor what kind of an instrument
Prllss had in his possession with which to
accomplish the work. He maintains that
Pruss never told him about his efforts to
escape. and consequently Amberg was not
posted ON his plans.
At a late hour this afternoon Pruss had
not been recaptured, nor had any trace of
him been discovered.
