last evening, she would have been
forced to the conclusion that the DAYS of
disunion and unharmonious action, of
yawBing CULTS and short-siehted rivalry,
so long characteristic of Moline and Rock
Island. are fast drawing to close; that the
old differences are fast being buried and
that new and prsiseworthy sentiment
of unity of aim is taking their place We
speak of Davenport because that CITY has
always viewed our policy with Il good
deal OF unwopted satisfs ction.
The 65 MolineIs who went down to
Rock Island on this occasion are en-
thusiastic oyer the cordial hospitality
shown them. and are equally enthusiastic
over the great twiu city demonstration
proposed tor the Fourth of July, 1892
an event that assumed definite form for
the trsj nme "a last nights conference
Altogether the gathering. was
without precedent in the history of the
two cities. Moline certainly did herself
proud by the way she turned out. and
Rock Island by the princely way in
which she entertained the visitors. On

 the manner in which you have held and ! used the high trust committed to your hands.

HE TOOK DELIBERATE AIM.

Walter Moon, After Assaulting and Threatening to Shoot His Wife, Att
 tempts to Kill a Man on George
 Street Yesterday Afternoon-He is
 in the Lookup.
 A man under the influence of liquor, brandishing revolver and shooting it recklessly about, was the scene which oc- cured on George street yesterday after noon. Walter Moon, who resides at the corner of George and College streets, over w. M. Lamb & Co.'s store, hired team from the livery stable of Frank N. Palmer and started out for ride about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. At the time Moon was inebriated and hardly able to guide the horse aright.
 One of the neighbors spoke to Palmer about the condition Moon was in, and he, thinking that it was not safe to trust him with the team alone, started in pursuit. Palmer came across the team hitched in front of Moons residence and attempted to take it away from the now thoroughly intoxicated Moon. The latter resented the interference and assaulted Palmer, striking him across the head. At this point 8 man sistance of MT. Palmer, when quick as & flash Moon whipped revolver out of his pocket and, pointing it deliberately at the newcomer upon the scene, snapped the trigger. The revolver, however, failed to go off at first, but Moon, not to be baffied, again pulled the trigger. This time the revolver went off, the bull let just grazing the cheek of the stranger. Moon then picked up the reins and rode off at breakneck pace.
 Earlier in the afternoon Moon had an altercation with his wife, and after threat ening to shoot her, seriously assaulted her, after which he told her he was going to leave her and would never see her again. He then packed up some clothing in valise and hired the team with which he afterwards made his escape
 About o'clock Moon drove up to Far ley's saloon on Gregson street and engaged in an altercation with MT. Farley, during the course of which he struck Farley twice over the head with some lead pipe which was lying around, after which he again jumped into the team and drove off.
 The police authorities were notified of the affair and Officer Powers detailed upon the case. The officer at once went to Moon's house, acting on the supposition that he would return.
 About 12:3Q o'clock the officers vigil ance and foresight were rewarded by the appearance of Moon, who attempted to get into the house. The officer at once put him under arrest, but not until 8 desperate struggle had taken place and the captive was finally safely landed at police head quarters. Moon returned to his home on foot, having left the team adrift on Com merce street. r ~s ,.f a.
