THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
Steps Should be Taken by Our Citizens
tOCeIebrate the Anniversary Of
Our independence.

In a short space of time the Fourth of
July will roll around, day that is dear
to every patriotic heart. There is no
tangible reason why this natal day should
not be observed in Rock Island in an APP
propriate manner There has not been a
celebration of the kind here for some
time, and all that is necessary to start the
ball rolling, is for some of our live and
enterprising citizens to take hold of the
matter, and we predict that they will be
cheerfully aided by the people every
where.
In some cities the Fourth of July is
never allowed to pass without some dem
nnstrati0n, and it is looked forward to,
not only as a national holiday, but as a
day of general rejoicing. The people
will turn out en- masse on that day of all
Others. and work is almost wholly aban-
doned They Will come for miles around.

holiday attire, and ready for day of
genuine enjoyment. Wherever the at
traction is of the greatest, magnitude,
there will the largest crowd gather, 1t is
beneficial to any town to have grand
celebration on day of that character.
Rock Island is peculiarly, we might say
fortunately, situated in this respect Its
attractions are varied, and of great num-
her,. 1t is easy of access and egress, and
well adapted for the entertainment of
guests. A subscription paper circulated
among our business men, would raise a
sufficient amount to defray the expenses
that might occur in making the day con-
spicuous by grand "hurrah."
The ARGUS would suggest that the in
itial steps be taken by calling meeting
of citizens and appointing the different
committees to make complete arrange
ments and get up jollification that will
draw thousands to the city on the clio
rious Fourth.

A Deadly Encounter.

A fight is on record in the courts at
Pcscadero between a jack weighing $50
pounds and 4 grizzly bear of about the
same weight The jack is owned by a
man named Ipse and is vicious brute.
A man named Black, raiser of blooded
cattle in that neighbOrhood, had been
troubled for several weeks by the visits
of a grizzly, which killed and carried off
a calf'every night, and all his efforts to
capture the bear had been unavailing.
Finally, he advertised in several papers
of the State, offering a reward of $50 to
any person who would kill the bear
lpse read the offer and resolved to take
his jack to the corral and see what the
result would be Accordingly the jack
was duly installed. In the night along
came the grizzly and seeing the jack
and fancying a change of diet, he made
an attack upon him; but as no one saw
the fight it is supposed that bruin made
the first overture. Anyway, next morn
ing when the corral was visited, bruin
lay stark and dead and the jack was
quietly feeding off the pile of hay. An
inspection of him disclosed the fact that
his breast and sides were fearfully lac
Grated by the bears claws and one of
his fore feet was disloeated. But bruin
was ''all broke up" He had his lower
jaws smashed to pieces; all of his ribs
on the port side were stove in and one
of his fore legs was fractured at the
shoulder, and he was generally smashed
all over. Ipse naturally claimed the re-
ward of $50. but Black refused topay it,
All Ipse's arguments failing, he has at
last brought suit for the promised re-
ward San Francisco Chronicle.
