A suit for damages in the sum of
So. 600 has been filed in the district
court at Davenport by w. 2. Carlin,
the defendants being Frank Jersey and
+. p. Lathrop. The plaintiff cites his
arrest at the instance of the defendants
on Sept 4, 1890, his compulsory ride
to the police station in the patrol, his
confinement there until he furnished
bail at midnight, and the fact that
when the case came up for hearing be-
fore Magistrate Kaufman the latter
dismissed the case after hearing the
statements of the prosecution and
without recurring any evidence in re-
buttal. Besides this he claims that in
forcing HIM into the patrol wagon the
officers making the arrest handled
him so roughly as to seriously spraln
his arm causing him great pain and
expense 70: medicine and medical at
tendaEc e. In view of these facts, Mr..
Carlin considers himself entitled to
damages in the sum named.
For the past year or more the
citizens OF Burlington have been ar
noyed and terrorized by long series
of burglaries and outrages conducted
by an unknown gang of men. The
climax of the raids was reached about
two months ago when a young man
named Zeiser was shot and killed by
burglar. Recently house was
burglarized and an occupant, Miss
Bennett awoke from her sleep to find
a dark figure standing over her with
long knife he'd to her throat. She
was ordered TO keep still and direct
the way to the valuable2. The lady
nearly tainted with fright and her
screams brought a brother, who gave
chase TO the fleeing burglar. In his
flight the burglar dropped his hat,
and upon the evidence of the hat
Charles Schont2, a vicious and fool
hardy rowdy of the city, was arrested
numbering young Zeiser. Tom Ma
honey is also under arrest as an ac-
complete.
The biennial report of the Super
intendent of the hospital for the in
sane at Mt. Pleasant, shows the fol-
lowing facts: The total number under
the care of the institution during the
biennial periods has been ], 402, of
this number 312 men and 33l women
have been admitted and 275 men and
81 women discharged. OF The latter
10 men and As women had recov-
cred, and Is men and 40 women much
improved; AZ men and 90 women were
no better; 90 men and 81 women died.
The death rate was much larger than
usual and was increased by the cpl
demic OF grippe While the deaths
directly from the disease were small,
the mortality was due to secondary
diseases such as pneumonia, consump-
ton, etc. The amount per capita
drawn from the state treasury for cur
rent expenses during the biennial
period is $l4.00 per capita, or less
than 40 cents u day for each inmate,
for which small sum is provided board,
clothing, bedding, fuel light, medical
treatment, and salaries and wages of
all the officers and employees.
A clever swindle is being practiced
upon farmers of Hancock and adjacent
counties. A couple OF men acting as
agents for the Phoenix Insurance Com
pany, of Brooklyn, go to the county
records and procure a list of good
farms encountered by mortgages.
With this list they make themselves
familiar with the circumstances of the
persons they have singled and APP
proach him with the information that
he is paying too much interest on his
loan and offer to lift his old mortgage
and put new one on at a very low
rate of interest, but to do that it will
be necessary to take out policy in
their company on his buildings. If
the victim bites the buildings are writ
ten up an amount generally exceeding
their value and very high rate.
They get their pay in cash or in
bankable note in advance. The appli-
cation is accepted, but lowing to the
