INDUCED TO MAKE A RAID

on the Hudson Bay Company's and Bakers
store and glass house because the half
breeds had told them that the whites had
been beaten at Duck Lake and the half
breeds were capturing stores. Bob-Tail,
Ermine Robe and Sampson, chiefs
of the Crees at Battle river
have been ARRESTED by Major
Steele, as they are held responsible8for the
raid. Pat-Pah-Staache and his brother,
who have small band of Crees on the Cal
gary trail near Edmonton, have been acting
ugly, but their numbers are too small to do
serious damage.
A COURIER FROM EDMONTON

When Strange's courier left, Smiths bat

A Flimsy Defence.

The Union makes a weak defence
against the charges made by the ARGUS
in regard to the illegality of Mayor Muir
docks appointments. In fact it can
bring no argument to bear in his behalf.
1t still sticks to the absurdity that the
ordinances recently adopted by the coune
Gil were not in force, and that the ap-
pointments were made as has been the
custom for years. II also declares that
the ordinances recently published are a
single ordinance, which is ridiculously
false. Judge Wilkinson emphatically as
serts that each ordinance is distinctively
separate, and as he revised the ordinances
and saw to their passage it is but natural
to suppose that his view of the matter is
correct. But any intelligent person, who
is not blinded by partizanship, will sub
stantiate the opinion of Judge Wilkinson.
1t is very evident, however, by the ten.
or of the Union that Mayor Murdock in
tends to let his appointments stand as
they are. We are sorry for his sake and
for the welfare of the city. If disastrous
consequences result, however, he will
have himself alone to blame, but that will
be no satisfaction to the citizens. The
democratic aldermen should, and they
will undoubtedly put themselves on rec
ord as against this illegal act. If the city
council does not observe its own ordi-
nances, how can it expect the people gen
orally to abide by them.

How to do Il


Horace Greely's head was level when
he wrote, If you want to keep town
from thriving don't build any more
houses than you can conveniently occupy
yourself. If you should accidentally have
an empty building and anyone wants to
rent ask three times the value of it. De-
mand a shylock price for every foot of
ground that God has given you stewards
ship over. Turn a cold shoulder to every
mechanic and business man who seeks to
make a home with you. Look at every
newcomer with scrowl. Run down the
work of new workmen. Go abroad for
wares rather than seek to do business in
your midst. Fail to advertise or support
your town newspaper, that people abroad
may not know whether business is going
on or not Wrap yourself with coat of
impervious selfishness. There is no more
effectual way to retard the growth of q
town than actions like those above
pumerated,

Got the Lions Share.

Aledo Democrat: At recent election
in Rock Island the republicans, with the
assistance of the nationals, succeeded in
electing their candidate for mayor and
enough aldermen to make the board tie
without the vote of the mayor. They
were so anxious for office that they quail
iied and assumed their official duty two
weeks before they could legally do so,
and at once proceeded to put the old re-
publican rule, ''to the victors belong the
spoils," into practice by filling all the Of
fees at their disposal with new men. 1t
is unnecessary to say that the nationals
got the lions share of the spoils.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: The third
steamboat built for western waters was
the Enterprise She was built at Bridges
port on the Monongahela river, by the
Monongahela and Ohio Steamboat COM
pany. She measured seventy tons. On
December ID. 1914, the enterprise arrived
at the port of New Orleans. Shortly after
her arrival she was pressed into service
by order of Commanding Gen. Jackson
for the purpose of Fastening forward
arms and ammunition for the army. She
was dispatched up the Mississippi to bring
forward two keel boats loaded with mu-
nitions of war, which she accomplished
| About the 2Sth of December, Gen. jack
son, wishing to relieve the fort below the
city by sending supplies of commissary
stores, had no other steam vessel to ac>
complish the undertaking with except the
Enterprise, and, as the British|had es-
tablished batteries along the river bank
it was found necessary to build strong
barricade of cotton bales around the
boilers of the Enterprise, so as to pro~
tect them against the shot of the British.
She went down ON the night of the 2Sth
of December and returned on the night
of the S0th without receiving any injury

A Compliment.

The Davenport Democrat has the fol-
lowing to say of one of Mayor Murdocks =
appointees;
Our former townsman, John W. Law
head, who was superintendent of the
Davenport water works during the first
two or three years of the companys op>
erations, has been chosen as first engineer
of the water works in Rock Island. A
more competent man could not have been
selected. He is one of the best machinists
10 the land anda practical steam engineer
oflarge experience. 1t is in the care Of just
such men as John Lawhead that such
costly machinery as those of water works
should ALWAYS be placed, but over in Rock
Island aldermanic favoritism selects the
engineers for the works. Fortunately the
right man was the favorite this time.

The Hoodlums.


ExP0liceman bunker has been en-
gagged as night watchman by the business
men on Second avenue between Nine
teenth and Fourteenth streets, and they
have all signed petition to be presented
to the city council next Monday evening,
the tenor of which is to clothe Mr. Dun>
ker with power to arrest persons the
same as regular policemen. The petition
has been signed without an exception by
tine business men without regard to poll
tics within the territory above stated, and
shows conclusively what they think of
Mayor Murdock's appointments. The pc
tition demonstrates the feeling Of the
people that life and property are at stake
under the protection of such men,
consequently their desire to retain in
service the old and experienced
officers. Officer Mitsch's services were SO
valuable that the Rock Island Lumber &
Manufacturing company engaged him as
watehman as soon as he was relieved from
the duties as policeman. 1t is the bust
ness men. the ones who have large prop
erty in interests and who know how to ap,
preciate the services of good official thai
are disgusted with some of the new ap.
pointments. These two officers are ac,
cording to the Union, of the hood
lum element, the very men that thu
"hoodlum" element desired to have re.
moved from the force. Will the Union
give its definition of democratic ho0dlums
in this connection? The hoodlum ele>
