''Help" "Murder!" Bloody MURDER
Come up here quick - were the frantic
screams that came from a window of the
Rock Island house between and $50
O'Clock last night. Several people who
were on the street at the time rushed up
to the floor of the hotel and into the
room from which the sounds came. Officer
Hetter was among the number. and all
expected to find that some horrible and
ghastly murder had been attempted. but
some surprise was occasioned when the
cause of the disturbance was found alone
In the room and armed with q poker
The man seemed to be lsboring under
great excitement. and being disarmed by
the policeman. he stated that some of the
boarders had threatened his life and so
sgitsted him with their threats that he
hoisted the window and gave utterance
to the sensational screams.
A closer investigation revealed the fact
that the sufferer was very well known
and popular travelling salesman, who has
been laid up at the hotel for some weeks
with delirium tremens; that a local
physician has been in attendance upon
him. and that yesterday he was to all in.
tents much improved. The doctor now
believes that through some means he OBJ
tanned drink yesterday. and that this
brought on the reaction. Officer Mul
queen spent the night with him. and
this morning found him sleeping quietly
and much improved.
The episode Of last evening created a
great deal of excitement for the time be.
ing. and the report spread over the city
that murder had been committed at the
Rock Island house.

MAY BE LITIGATION YET.
OF the Present Heirs or the Late
Bailey Davenport.

A Question Raised rs TO the Legality
Bailey Davenport.
1t is Just possible-though it is not
very likely-thst there will be litigation
over the will of the late Bailey Daven-
port yet. Some of the relatives of the
deceased, other than the nephews and
nieces at present in charge Of the estate,
propose, it il reported. to raise the claim
that the late Bailey Davenport, and his
brother, the late Geo. l.. Davenport, of
the city of Davenport, were but half
brothers. having different mothers. II
this be proven. the legal heirs would not
be the children of Geo. L. Davenport, but
the descendants of Mr.. Bailey Daven-
ports mother of course. and the property
would pass to them not only under the
law, but it would not be hindered in the
least In 30 doing under the provisions of
the will.
Many of or old citizens and others
who are in position to know, assert that
there is no truth in any such assertions as
to Bailey and George L. Davenport not
being actual brothers.
1t is to be hoped that no litigation such
as would involve the estate remaining in
its present condition for many years will
epsue,
