Tuesday evening about 8 o'clock, at

commodation at Burton, in an intoxi-
Gated condition, and staid around the
town until evening
About 1880 p.am. he passed by the
lower hotel, as it is called, walking on
the railroad track, still pretty drunk.
At 8 o'clock freight train passed by,
and as ONeil did not return the men
sitting in front OF the hotel became
alarmed and walked up the track to
find him. No trace Of him could be
seen, and after returning to the hotel
they started out again on search, and
found 0'Neil's body lying between the
main track and siding. The back part
OF his head and his right shoulder and
side were,e mashed in. Death must
have been instantaneous.

one Of the cars after the engine had
passed. Thirty-fve dollars in cash was
found on his person. An inquest was
held and verdict Of accidental death

now paying as high as per cent on our
timber holdings In some of the coun,

vance in the price of lumber the
price and the value of timber land is
going up all the time, and the assessor

gives us all the value we can stand on

assessment on this sort of property there
Is to be added the further consideration
that it is more difficult to get logs each

ment-Col. Whittemore Will Not
Return.
When Col. D. W. Flagler was pro-
NOTED to the position of chief Of ord
nance. the friends and admirers of the
former commandant of Rock Island ar
senal in the three cities prophesied that
it would be the best thing that had ever
happened to Rock Island Arsenal. They
realized that Col. Flagler was familiar
with the arsenal, and realized its i'm
portance and advantages better than any
other man in the ordnance corps. That
those who made these predictions knew
what they were talking about, is shown
by the following Washington telegram to
today's Chicago Tribune;
An increase in the facilities for the man
ufacture of ordnance supplies and the
erection OF q plant for the manufacture OF
carriages for field guns at the Rock ISL
and, III arsenal are among the new pro-
iects Gen. Flsgler, the new chief OF ord
nance, expects to carry out early IN MS
administration. The sanction OF con-
gress will be required for some OF the
schemes he has IN view, but there is great
deal that can be done toward increas-
ing the amount of work of this al
ready important arsenal under existing
law. The improvements will commence
simultaneously with the selection of
new commanding officer. Y 1t is definitely
settled that Col. Whittimore will not re-
turn to the command, as it is understo cd
that he will ask to be relieved when he
cones back from Europe, if he does not
succeed in getting an eastern station.
He wants the Springfield armory. If it
should be given him, then Col. Blu fling
ton would undoubtedly be assigned to the
command of Rock Island, but it seems
far more likely at the present time that
be will not DE disturbed and that either
Col. MordecsI or Farley will be selected
for Rock Island.
