The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1884-06-19

There is at least one lady in the lower
end of the city who is able TO take care OF
herself, and dudes and Washers had better
let her alone. Last night this lady, who
by the way is dark in color, was walking
along Eighth street, returning home from
up town, where she had been shopping
As she reached Third avenue, she was
accosted by young man, but she told
him to let her alone and go off about his
business. But he did nothing of the kind
but kept on following her On Fourth
avenue he was Joined by two other young
men, and the three kept on following the
dusky damsel. Finally one of the boy:
went up to her, when she turned around
and struck him over the face with an in,
strument known to blacksmiths as a rasl
file. She then turned around, brandishet
her weapon in the faces of the other twt
| fellows and dared them TO come on. TIT
fellows face who she struck, is in lac
Grated condition, and if you see young
man going about the city with scratched
face you will know that he is the here
of this tale, but in the meantime keep
your eye open for the colored girl with 6
file

Tom Rosenfield is just now finding out
that the path of the wicked is thorny,
although it at first appeared to be of roses
Some time ago Tom got full of tangle
foot, and having spite against the night
Waterman of the Rock Island & Peoria
depot, came to the conclusion to paint his
eyes a sober black He lit into the watch
man and done him up. He then left the
city. He returned late Saturday night,
and meeting two of his, .chums, Leon
Hardy and John Flanagan, went with
them in skiff over to the island where
they stole a lot of cartridge shells. Tom
was captured by Chief Miller on Monday,
but the chief had no idea then that Tom
was engaged in the island theft, but only
wanted him on charge of painting the
night watchman's eyes black, 1t now
turns up that Tom is guilty of both of
lenses, and consequently Tom has more
| woe than he can stand under.
Tom Rosenfeld, who had his trial yes
terday before Chopper for doing up the
night Waterman at the depot, was fined
$50. and in default of payment he was
sent to jail Later on He went before
Judge Adams, plead gnilty. and was SEN
fenced to lay out his fine in jail. As soor
as he finishes this sentence be will be triet
for stealing on the island

The whangdoodle mourneth for her lost
young and refuseth to be comforted be-
cause they are not, It's said, which reminds
us to say that there are number of
merchants in the city who are sad because
no effort has been but forth towards hav-
ing celebration in Rock island this year.
Nearly every little town in the county is
humping itself to have a glorious celebra-
ton of the natal day, while we of this city,
sit complacently down and are making moi
an effort towards celebrating. There is
yet plenty of time to make arrangements
if some of our enterprising citizens will
take the matter in hand and rush things
We know of no reason why Rock Island
should not have rousing celebration this
year. There is every reason for having {
celebration here this year. 1t is a cam
paign year and it would be no trouble a
all to secure large crowd. The peopl'
who came here would spend money ant
this money would go into the Golfers Of
our merchants. Let some effort be mad
towards having celebration al once.

Nothing has been done towards tearing
down the old Warner mill, which was
damaged by fire. This mill is on Fifth
avenue and Eighteenth street. 1t is il
such condition that it would cost nearly
as much money to repair it as 1t would tc
build new one. This being so, it viii
not be repaired, but on the contrary viii
be torn down and the brick used for somt
other purpose.

Cnnfdanee Men,

The confidence man is abroad in the
land. Last week we published an item
about a couple of chaps who were using
City Attorney Corbett's name in cons
nection with their nefarioIs swindling
schemes stating that he knew nothing of
them, and he didn't. We now have to
chronicle another swindling scheme,
though by no means a new one. Two
fellows were in Andalusia selling family
bibles. They would take orders for the
bibles, to be paid for on the installment
plan, hut would collect the sum of one
dollar to pay fer engraving the name in
nice gilt letters on the back of the bible
1t now turns out that the fellows are
frauds of the first water Quite number
of farmers got took in by the scamps
Somebody should catch the fellows and
turn them over to the courts of justice.

The qustion-of state representative was
then taken up, and ", H. Lundy offered
the following resolution:
Resolved, That the minority rule hav'
ing been incorporated in out state consti-
| tuition for the protection of the minority
the democrats of Kock Island county are
in favor of carrying out this rule justly,
honorably and to its fullest extent; and
that if the memorials of Henry county
present by united voice an unobjectional
candidate for the legislature, Rock Island
county should concede the candidate tc
Henry county"
Hon. P. O'Mara opposed the resolution
in vehement terms and sternly denounced
the democracy of Henry county, for thei
unwarranted opposition to him two year
ago, and the course they are pursuing a
present.
Mr.. B. D. Buford also opposed it, say
ing that there were two factions in Henr,
county, and they had several candidate
for representative, all of whom were OBJ
jectionable to Rock Island county, from
the fact that they were identife
with the bolt of 1882 If Henry county
would present democrat with good
clean record, Rock Island would have n
hesitancy in supporting him.
Mr.. W Fl. Lundy counseled peace ant
was in favor of healing the breach be
E tween the two counties, and it was wit
that intention that the resolution wa
offered TIE resolution was then passe
by the convention.
Mr.. E. W Hurst offered the followin
resolution in regard to Congressma

A couple of kids named lEmmet and
Brown were out riding in skiff on the
upper slough yesterday afternoon, when
in some way the skiff became overturned
and spilled the boys out IN the water
Emmett could swim, but the other kid
couldn't, and it was all Emmett could do
to keep him from being drowned. Brown
had better stay out of the water until he
learns to swim.

Disgrsceful if True.

Ii all accounts are true, We have good
prospects for first class sensation in the
upper end of town, if certain young man
does not carry himself in perpendicular
manner hereafter We are Informed that
a lady could hardly pass certain store
without being insu1ted by the proprietor,
and that he would be leading candidate
for horsewhipping if he does not see the
error OF his way and reform. If the lady s
statement is correct, it would do him
good.

this afternoon with his curious rig The
wagon looks as though it had come out of

trying to swap him jack knives and
marble for his turn out, but George
wouldn't swap.

All the gravel which is being put down

is taken from gravel pit on Third ave-

one, and is getting deeper every day. Il

into it, he wouldn't know what hurt him
But it would be impossible to fall into the
pit without you climbed over the fence
which surrounds it.

The New Main.

Work progresses but slowly on the new
water main from the water works to
Twentieth street. From all appearances
it will be an all summer job. The great
trouble is that it is hard work, and very
tedious at that, to dig the trench. Some
blasting has to be done besides. The
workmen have reached Twentyfirst street
with the trench, and the workmen who
are following them laying the pipes, are
not very far behind them. Meanwhile
there is no travel on that part of the ave
nue. by teams.

men and two women. They are now can
wasting the town for work. The last gang
of picture enlarge-s who were here were
