WAR AMONG HIGH-FLIPPERs.
Two Ladies Fighting Over Kids - Rocks
Thrown, Knife Drawn, Hard Names
Called--A General Tear Up.

Justice Choppers court was the scene
of settlement of neighborhood quarrel
this afternoon Mrs, Elizabeth Fowler
and Mrs Eliza Rocks live on the corner
of Eighth street and sixth avenue. They
both claim to be respectable ladies, and
that they both are their looks denote
But somehow or other they got into
general scrimmage to day, reused up the
neiglGorhood, and made things lively,
which resulted in Mrs Rocks having Mrs
Fowler arrested.
Mrs. Fowler is a real pleasant looking
lady. She would have been better off at
home than in police court, for she will
soon become mother again Mrs Rocks
is lady of uncertain age, and has a snap
about her eyes. One would Judge from
the way she wagged her tongue in cross
questioning witnesses that she wasn't
born tongue tied, nor never was b, thered
with any disease of that useful organ
From the evidence il would seem that
the affair was the result of their children
quarreling Mrs Fowler has little
child two years old and Mrs. Rocks has
one six years old. Mrs Rocks child
caught Mrs. Fowler's child by the
arm, and tried to bite it, or did bite it,
Mrs, Fowler heard the child crying, and
ran to its assistance, when Mrs Rocks
came to the rescue of her offspring with a
case knife in her hand Mrs. Fowler
grabbed stone and threw it Whether
it struck Mrs. Rocks or not is question
able Mrs Rocks said it did, and Mrs.
Fowler and her witnesses said it didn't
Mrs. Rocks said she could show lump
where the stone struck, but when invited
to show up by Mrs, Smith, a witness, she
weakened Mrs Barnes, witness, testi
fed that she saw Mrs Rocks run to the
children with knife.
Are you sure, Mrs. Barnes, you saw
me with knife2" said Mrs Rocks.
Eyes, said Mrs. Barnes.
Remember, Mrs. Barnes, there is g
God in Heaven.
Yes said Mrs. Barnes.
"And that there is day of reckoning
when the just and the unjust will be called
up before the Great Judge"
Eyes"

And you will have to answer for this,

And you will have to answer for this,
Mrs. Barnes"
Yes"
'All right, Mrs. Barnes, all l have to
say is that you swear falsely"
The next witness called was Mrs. Da-
vine. Mrs Davine is a sort of a grand
mother She didn't know anything about
the fight. She lived around the corner,
aud was very THANKFUL that she did.
Each lady testified that the other called
her bad names. Mrs. Rocks told Mrs.
Fowler that she married her brother-in-
law, and spanked him on his wife's
grave Then there was general throw
ing up of old scores. Somebody
hadn't paid house rent. Somebody
owed for a roasted turkey and a
loaf of bread Some one screamed a
name that reflected on some ones virtue
1t was a whole mess of scum, and no
doubt both ladies are heartily sick of it
by this time, or will be when they see the
affair in print The good hearted justice
gave them lecture, and discharged Mrs.
Fowler

WHAT ROCK ISLAND LOST.

Our citizens all recollcct the gentlemen
who we're in Rock Island a few weeks
ago, and desired to locate an oat meal
mill here, They received no encourage
ment until they had bid good bye to the
town. They went to Peoria. The Freeman
of that city. says of the enterprise;
Work on the oat meal mill will be rap
idly pushed to completion The mill will
give constant employment TO forty men
when in operation 1t is nice, clean
addition to the industries of our booming
CITY
Rock Island lost an opportunity when
she let the oat meal mill 50 to Peoria,
There is not much use of our Business
Mems Association advertising Rock Is,
lands advantages, if no encouragement is
gwen to manufacturers when they seek tC
locate here.

HE'S GONE,
Ira GGyile Skips and Leaves Maggie
Heeney i'm Trouble.

The following appeared III the ARGUS
Friday of last week;
About the 1st of last January, Mr.. Ira
Coyne, of this city, and Miss Maggie
Heeney, daughter of Miss Eliza Flanagan,
were secretly married in Davenport.
The secret was kept until few days ago,
when Maggie told her mother The
mother forgave them. They will make
Chicago their home.
Sunday, this brief little card appeared
in the Union:
A story having been circulated in some
unreliable newspapers to the effect that
Ira Coyne was secretly married in Daven-
port to one Maggie Heeney, of this city.
| wish to state that the story is absolutely
false in every particular No such mar
rage ever occurred, or was even contem-
plated IRA CoYNE.
Sunday Maggie Heeney went before a
justice and swore out warrant for the
arrest of Coyne, charging him with
bastardy But she was too late, as Coyne
udu SDdhCl lnC uuSl anu lAuu VI AspSh loi
and off his feet and disappeared, and now
it is that the whole secret comes out. II
seems that Coyne has been paying his
attentions to Miss Heeney for about two
years, and 1t would seem from what Miss
Heeney charges him with that his atten-
tions have been marked and close of late.
Be that as it may, Coyne has gone, and
Maggie Is left alone.
The story of the secret marriage was,
no doubt told by the girl to her mother,
when she could no longer hide from her
the result of her intimacy with Coyne
The story was told the old lady, and OF
course she was satisfied, Coyne's plea
for being married secretly was that he
could not afford to support a wife. But
what must have been the mothers con
sternation, Sunday morning, when she
read Coyne's denial When he did moi
show up, it dawned on her and the
| daughters mind that something wa,
wrong, and that Coyne was trying tC
sneak out An investigation proved i
true. There is nothing left for Maggie tC
do but to watch and wait, and when Ir,
shows his treaCherous mug, to nab him.

AMONG THE BAD.
HE CALLED HIM A LUMP.

HE CALLED HIM 4 LUMP.
Last night about o'clock, John Broun
and Charles Limberg were on Second
avenue, between Twenty first and Twenty
second streets. Limberg called Broun a
lump, which being translated into Eng
lish means loafer, a hummer, dead
beat OF course no man with spark of
grit could stand to be called lump.
Broun went for Limberg, and when he got
through with him his dearest and truest
friends would not have known him.
Brown just eyerlastingly wiped the ground
with Limberg, In fact, be did everything
but chaw him up and spit him out, and
made him a sight for gods, men and
monkeys. Broun was taken before Jus.
tice Chopper, who said that $40 would
heal the injured dignity of the law. As
soon as Llmberg is able to get out of bed
there viii be apt to be more war.
AFAsT DRIVER
Charles Brown was drunk last night, al
least it would seem so the way he drove
on the streets He was arrested and
fined So.

The BOILING SUN
1t SENDS Henry Tohrmalen to Kingdom Come

Yesterday afternoon Henry Tohrmalen,
a German about 30 years old, who has
been in this country about SIX months,
was sunstruck while a work on Mr..
Knutzer's place on the Coaltown road,
two miles from Moline He was at work
in a field and about o'clock he ''keeled
over on his beam ends, and had to be
carried to the house. Medical aid was
summoned, but before the man of pills
and saws arrived, the sunstruck man had
departed-at least his spirit had, leaving
only the lifeless remains for the doctor to
gaze upon. The coroner was notified,
who went out and held an inquest this
morning. The deceased was unmarried,
and carpenter by trade.
The verdict of the coroner's jury was to
the effect that the deceased came to his
death from the effect of being overheated
by the sun

A HOARY-HEADED VILLAIN.
He Attempts to Outrage Little Girl.


Davenport was considerably excited
yesterday by the attempted outrage of a
12-year-old girl by an old man named
Gray Gray is so years old, and French
man. The girl was passing along Second
street near the stock yards, when she
met the old man. He induced her to
walk into the yards with him, and when
be thought he had her far enough away
from the street, he seized her and threw
her down and attempted to outrage her
The girl fought desperat ely, and at last
succeeded in getting away from the
hoary- headed old villain, She ran home
and told her parents, who Informed the
police Gray was arrested and locked up.
He refuses to say anything about the
charge and maintains a moody silence.
The name of the girl is not given. The
family is highly respectable, and they
will endeavor to keep the name dark as
long as possible. But that is useless, if
they intend to prosecute the old rascal
1t is reported that the old man succeeded
in his purpose before the girl escaped
from him, but this, the parents deny.
Gray was brought into Esq. Cramer's
court to-day. No one appeared to pros
ecute the case, as publicity was feared
He was fined 800 on general principles
and sent to the stone pile.
