This morning an ARGUS reporter called
upon Clarence Mart at his cell in the
county Jail and questioned him concerns
ing the affair AT Moline Saturday night.
Mart's statement in substance was this:
Il went TO Moline at $50 Saturday even
ing and after dancing a sci Miss Nellie
Russell of this city said she wanted to
talk with me. We walked about twelve
feet away from the dance hail. when this
young Barnard guess his name is, for
| never saw him before-came up with
three other fellows: the three stopped at
a distance and Barnard came up and said
they wanted to speak to me. | said |
would 90 in minute. But You must go
now, he said. | then told him | would
not 90 until | got through talking with
the young lady. He said he would
make me go, and said he could
not but | would go in minute. >"
How long is a minute" he said, putting
up his hands as If to fight Just then the
other three came up and said, Frank,
you have struck the wrong man, and |
said | should like to know what he is
blowing to me about, whereupon he
turned and said, well what are you Cos
ing to do about it?" and motioned as if to
strike me, and hit him three times and
that is all there is to it. | think there
was conspiracy among the three to
whip somebody and was mistak en- for
the person. did what did in self de
Tense
The young woman in the case has pub
lishcd the following:
| hereby certify that | am the young
lady Clarence Marts was talking to at the
tircmen's picnic, and that Frank Barnard
did not insult or even speak to me.
NELLIE RUSSELL.
1t is evident therefore. that from Mr.
Mart statement rs wen AS the young
woman's that she was not the
cause of the episode Mr. Barnard is
still quite feeble, and has not been aliowet
to talk concerning the case, SO his state
ment will not be given until he is in a
better way to recovery. The pre-,
liminarr examination of Mart takes place
next Tuesday.

The thirsty element of Orion, H., can
now quench their thirst with any decoc-
ton known to the saloon trade by purs
chasing it by the gallon. A gallon house
was opened in that village last Saturday,
a quarter of Il mile south of the village
limits, and good trade was at once es-
tablshed. The man who is acting as the
proprietor is conducting it very shrewd>
ly, so as to keep in the limits of the law
The law says that no liquor shall be
drank on the premises of gallon house,
and to protect himself against this, he
purchased only twenty square feet of
ground, covered it with his house, and
sells from his windows. The gallon house
is the outgrowth of the contested village
election case that was dismissed at the last
term of our circuit court.

The first of the week Superintendent

A day later Mr.. Stafford received the
following reply:

is weak, aud too short.
W. L. CoYNE.
The superintendent inferred from these
classic remarks that his requests were moi
to be complied with, so there was no al,
Tentative other than to commence lega

to do. A complaint was sworn out be

Work in Hot Places.

The limit of temperature at which men
can work depends upon the length of their
exposure, the amount of exertion they put
forth, their condition, and the nature of
the atmosphere, particularly as to its de-
gree of moisture. Men have been en-
ployed on railways at 104 degrees, in
mines-under very favorable conditions
at 125 degrees, and are said to work oc-
casionally in the stoke-holes of tropical
steamers at 156 degrees.
Professor Du Bots Raymond has esti-
mated that temperature of 1872 degrees
can be endured when the air is as dry as
possible, but that even 104 degrees is
likely to be fatal in an atmosphere satur-
ated with moisture. 1t is considered GER
tain that men cannot become accustomed
to stand, for any considerable time, a
higher temperature than from 40 TO 1865
degrees, even when they keep perfectly
still and are in quite pure air.
