AN INTERESTING CASE

The Galesburg Republican Register of
Wednesday referring to the suit of the
Pattee Company says;
There is now on the docket of the
United States District Court at St. Loust
a suit entered by the Pattee Plow Com
pany, of Monmouth, against Buf0rd &
Co, of Rock Island, and Kingman &
Co, Peor ia, for infringement of certain
patents appertainlng TO the toDgueless
cultivator manufactured by the Pattee
Company. This latter company com
menced the manufacture of tongueless
eultivators in 1876 for themselves. and
and succeeded in gaining general favor
for their implement only after a hard
trial They have purchased some twelve
or fifteen patents covering various parts
of their machine. Last year the company
turned out 1900 CIVILIZATIONS. Now the
competition of the other companies comes
in, producing machines with parts which
the Pattee Plow Company claims TO be
infringement of its patents, or in other
words, mere device to escape an open in
fringement The various machiues are
now on exhibition at the office of Solici
or of Patents, W B. Ric hards. He
has been in the called upon to give ex-
pert testimony case. Judge Bond, of
Chicago. Mr.. J. R. Bennett aud his
partner, Mr.. Harding, of New York, and
Senator Manahan, of Sterling, are here
looking after the deposition.

RATHER EMBARRASSING.
The Resolution offered by Aid. Hull a
Little Out Of Place.

That ex-Superintendent Cramer was
held in very high regard by some of his
political friends, there is no doubt But
their friendship for him appeared to have
vanished when he. got into trouble 1t was
necessary to lower his bond from 81 900
to So, 900, in order that it could be met,
and then Mr. Cramer was compelled to
pass night in the county jail Where
was all this friendship? If there is any
time man needs friends, it is when he is
in trouble, and that is generally the time
the alleged friends remain aloof from him
All that Mr.. Cramer asked of his friends
was to furnish him bail until the examina-
ton took place, but there was agoo6deal
of hesitation, and considerable persuasion
before he could succeed in even this.
The following resolution presented by
Alderman Hull at the council room, Mon
day evening. June 4th, 1888. sounds rath-
er amusing. Read it;
WHEREAS. Mr.. Fred A. Cramer has
been the superintendent and in charge of
our water works during the past eleven
years, and
WHEREAS, during that time Ehe has
proven himself a faithful, competent and
industrious officer, and his management
and supervision of the water works has

city; therefore be ii
ResOlUed, By the city council of the
city of Rock Island, that we hereby
express our confidence in the ability and
integrity of Mr.. Cramer, and thank him
for the efficient aud corteous manner in
which he has discharged his duties during
the eleven years he has had charge OF our
water works.
Alth ough Alderman Hull was and still
is member of the water works commit
tee, the ARGUS would not do him the in
justice to state that he was at that time
acquainted with the condition of the
books of Mr.. Cramer Although it was
Alderman Hulls place to know whether
Mr. Cramer had been faithful and com
petent officer during his term of office
the ARGUS sincerely believes that the
alderman was not posted on the question
at all. In the first place there was no
| occasion for presenting any such resolu-
ton as the above. If Cramer had been
an industrious, competent and faithful
officer, wasn't he well paid for it2. Didn't
he receive a good salary for the work
performed? OF course he did, and that
was sufficient The real motive of Alder
man Hull in presenting the resolution is
not apparent to the public, unless he was
laboring under the impression that the
council expected him to take up certain
length of time. and that ne might as well
entertain" the members with senseless
resolution as anything else. Out of
respect to Mr.. Cramer all the members
voted in favor of the resolution, as in
fact it was the only thing for them to do,
unless they wanted to aim direct insult
at him.

RIVER NOTES

The Josephine arrived from Dubuque
at II a. m, to-day.
The Minneapolis stopped on her way
north this afternoon, with good showing
of passengers.
The "A j. Whitney" with six barges,
arrived from St. Charles, Mo, Tuesday,
and is engaged in towing gravel for Dav-
export.
An up river paper says: AN immense
jam of logs was formed last week in St.
Croix falls, and on Sunday and Monday a
heavy crew were trying to break it by the
free use of dynamite and a steamboat. At
least $4,000 have been spent at this point
during the last fifteen years, all because
nobody would furnish one bateau and two
men for about ten days in the year, while
the logs were passing the Dels. The log
jam above the ST. Croix boom extends two
miles above Marine Mills, and about so,
0Q0, 900 feet have been added this week,
making about six miles of logs filling the
main channel of the river, completely
blockading it. Navigation will probably
be resumed this fall The upper st. Croix
valley people are not in the best of humor
in the world over the closing of the river
during half the season by the boom com
pany. and some heavy litigation is likely
to ensue.

the Upper Missouri near Fort Peck, on

the Denver & Rio Grande road annouced
that all passengers going to or from San
Francisco, to or from the east would be
given free tickets to Denver and Lead
vile and return, as an inducement TO
| passengers. The Union Pacific took no
notice of this cut-for it is similar to a
cut-until yesterday, when the announce
ment was made that all through passen-
gers going to or from San Francisco
would be given free tickets from Denver
to Leadville and return This means a
greater cut soon, for the Denver & Rio
Grande will probably make another cut

POLICE POINTERS.
People Who Break the Laws, Get Ush-
cred Into Justice Office.

There were lot of DRINKS last night
and ''booze" must have been flowing
freely. Several bad cases could have
been seen, laying around the city in diff
ferent places, having been completely
overcome by forty rod whisky. The
police gathered some OF these individ-
uals in
Officer Frank Meenan ran against a
fellow who gave his name as Adolph
Wandaken He was drunk and ugly.
The officer cured both of these complaints
by giving him safe berth in the armofy.
After visit to Squire Chopper this morn
ing Wandakans purse was S. lighter.
James Mcclure had hoisted enough
benzine into him, to make him think he
owned the whole street Officer bunker
disabused him of this idea after a lively
scrimmage Mcclure tried to knock
the officers head off with a rock,
who retaliated by the free use of
his club Squire Cropper thought his
case would merit about $13, which proved
to be more than Macs" pile, and he is
now boarding at the armory.
Frank Murray would drink whisky.
Hisl thirst for spirits strong was un-
quenchsble, and he poured it down until
he was as limp as rag He was assessed
50 and costs
Fred Meyer was also before the police
magistrate, but he was not drunk.
Neither had he been drinking, but his
mind was in a muddle about his dog tax.
Fred owns two dogs, on which taxes were
due. Marshal Miller had his eye on him,
| and when he did not come to time,
walked him up to Justice Choppers office
to "see aloud desc dings." The Squire
explained to Meyer that on Aug. 1st, one
dollar tax was due on each dog, and that
every day since that time twenty five
cents was due on each canine. This
| figured up to So in all, which Meyer will
have to pay, or his dogs will be made to
yelp. Each day he postpones paying the
tax. fifty cents additional is added to the
| amount

LAWN TENNIS

The very pleasant weather we have
been lately blessed with has opened the
season for The many healthful outdoor
games which have proved so fascinating
to all concerned. Croquet, while it is a
pleasan: pastime, has become somewhat
monotonous, and has given way in great
measure to lawn tennis, which is being
INDUCED in quite often where inviting
lawns and grounds afford an opportunity
for it's display. Lawn games of all kinds
are beautiful and cannot fail to oring the
bloom of health to the most blanched
cheek. They are heap better for that
than to walk the streets and be gazed at
or firt with the boys.
