The Danish Newspaper Liar.

The Danish journalist is more en-

the French press, who has long held the
palm for chronic mandacity when deal

story from one of the leading newspa-
pers of Denmark, circumstantiated
and elaborated piece of lying that would
bring blush to the cheek of a Colora-

caterer, Delmonico, recently found him.

AIDES arrested their progress, and the food

A NOVEL CASE.

Sunday afternoon about five o'clock the
citizens of Moline, those who were on the
| streets, were startled to hear that Chas.
on charge of appropriatIng horse and
| buggy preferred by Robert Ellis. The
prominence of all parties made the thing
quite sensational, and it was the topic of
| conversation on the streets yesterday and
| to-day. The facts in the case are these:
| Sunday afternoon the two young men
| above mentioned started out for the pur-
pose of taking ride. They went the
| rounds of the livery stables, but could not
get rig, as all were in use. They then
went to s. L. Wilson and asked him for a
horse. He replied that he had none fit to
drive, and they asked him about taking
Robt Ellis's horse. All parties thinking
that Mr.. Ellis would not object, and not
seeing that gentleman around, Jackson
and Russ went to his barn, hitched up his
horse and took a ride; returning about five
o'clock, they placed the horse in the
barn and started home. In the
meantime Mr.. Ellis had heard
that Jackson and Russ were out with his
horse, and he had warrants sworn out for
their arrest on the charge above mentioned
The boys were arrested by Marshal Hend-
erson and taken before Squire Naples, who
placed them under bonds to appear at
court yesterday morning. s. L. Wilson
signed Mr.. RUSS bond, and Henry Har-
wood Mr.. Jacksons. Yesterday morning
the case came up, and Mr.. Ellis withdrew
his charge, but Immediately afterwards had
Justice Tyrell issue warrants for their ar
rest on charge of malicious mischief. |
VIM. Jackson, of Rock Island, were the
young mems attorney, and Squire TyreII |
appeared for Mr.. Ellis. The case came |
up at o'clock in Deacon Tyrelps Office.

And now comes the interesting part of
this decidedly queer case The trial lasted
two hours. At the conclusion of some
remarks. made by Mr.. Jackson. the Dea-
con put on his spectacles and sailed in
with both feet. He said that as the paintiff
had no counsel he, the Deacon, was
obliged to make some rem arks and az
much as admitted that he was an acting
attorney. He read the law and spoutedI
law, and also compared a seduction case
with the one he was dealing with, this was
