Chief Sexton Fills the Date.

The young lady was of course con-
siderably alarmed at this unusual oc-
curance and the letter was handed to
Chief Sexton. The latter concluded
the best way to do would be to wait
and trap Mr.. King when he came to
fill his date. Accordingly Miss Myer
was told to 90 to the court house at
the hour named in the letter, which
she did. Chief Sexton and Night
Captain Kramer were also i'll the
vicinity so when the foxy Mr. King
made his little play of stepping up
to Miss Myer the officers also made
their play and the young man
was soon IN durance vile. He was
brought before Magistrate Schroeder
this morning. and on plea of guilty
to disorderly conduct ne was fined S15
and costs. The fine and costs were
paid and he was later released. The
letter is not published in full owing
to the fact that some portions are too
obscene to appear in print. The
name, Harry King. is no doubt ticti-
cious one, and it is hardly necessary
to state that the young man seems
possessed of a depraved and coward
" instinct which it is to be hoped
has been checked by today's proceed
inGS.

opportunity for. This company has

business. AS soon as the new mate
rial arrives, which is expected in a
few weeks, the company will move
into it's new quarters.

NERVE AND DEPRAVITY.
A Young Mans Outrageous and UnseemIy
Conduct.

One of the most extraordinary and
outrageously gally tricks that comes
to the sight of the police was turned
up in the arrest last night of a young
man who gives his name as Harry
King. For some time past the resi-
dence of John A. Freyhan, at AL
Fourth avenue, has been disturbed by
nocturnal visitors. Several times
during the last few weeks, members
of the family have been aroused at
unreasonable hours of the night by
noises outside the house. 1nvesti-
CATION at the time by the female oc-
cupants of the house never threw
any light on who the visitor was, and
the ladies being alone, Mr.. Freyhan
being on the road, they became
alarmed about the matter. Matters
ran along in this way until one day
last week when Miss Amelia Myer;
who is engaged as domestic at the
Freyhan residence found letter adj
dressed to her lying in a convenient
place where she would be most apt
to find it. The letter though writ
ten in a nice round hand, is one of
the nerviest pieces of letter writing
that could be imagined, and is as fol-
lows:

The Wagner Litigation Ended in
the City's Favor.
so DECIDES THE SUPREME COURT

The Ruling of the Highest Judicial Au-
thority of the state Sustafns the City of
Rock Island in the Proceedings Growing
Out of the Meter Syste History of the
Matter.
The supreme court of the state
Yesterday affirmed the ruling of the
appellate court in the matter of the
Wagner water case against the city
of Rock Island. The outcome is that
the city RECEIVERS some $1,000 in
| water rent due from Mr.. Wagner from
May l, 1899, when George Wagner,
the proprietor of the Atlantic brew
cry, in opposition to the city's meter
system enioined the city from cut
ting off the water supply at his brew
cry The point at issue was there
fore on the city's motion looking. to
the dissolution of the injunction,
which is now decided in the city's
favor.
| History of the Litigation.
Mr. Wagner objected to the meter
system adopted by the Rock Island
city council and applicable to the
consumption of water by the city's
water works system, and while in
Nav, 1899, Mr.. Wagner paid the first
| quarter of his water rent as -indi-
Gated by the meter system then in
troduced, he protested against so
ldoinr. and when the next quarter be-
came due he refused to pay. The
city thereupon gave notice that I'M
less he complied with the ordinance,
his water supply would be cut off,
Mr.. Wagner then obtained an
injunction restraining the city from
reinforcing the ordinance and depriv-
ing his industry of the water supply
on the ground that it was not based
on legal grounds. The matter drag
red along in the circuit court
for two years, the city getting no
opportunity to move to dissolve, and
when in October 1891 the motion
came up before Judge Glenn, the in
junction was sustained. The demur-
rel of CITY Attorney Haas to the bill
being thus overruled, an appeal was
taken to the appellate court, from
which at Ottawa, December Is, last
a decision was returned holding that
the bill of complaint presented nc
sufficient grounds for equitable re-
lief, and ruling that 1.-THE decree will
be reversed and the cause remanded
with directions to the circuit court
to sustain the demurrer, to dissolve
the injunction and dismiss the bill
Upheld by the Supreme Court.
Now the supreme court sustaIn'
the appellate court, which means
great victory for the city, which re.
covers, as stated before, about $1,000
lin back water rent. The city's posi-
ton was sustained all the way
through by City Attorney Haas,
while Judge Wilkinson and Adair
Peasants were counsel for Mr. Wag-

Was Defiant

Despite Aid. Kennedy's entire dis
regard for anything like decorum,
he insisted that he was determined
to be heard and suggested that if
the Dother aldermen did not like it
they could 90 out themselves
The mayor was much more lenient
than he should have been and called
the obstreperous alderman to order,
whereas he should have had him re-
moved for his disgraceful conduct.
The council cut the proceedings off
without further incident by adjourn
ing until Wednesday afternoon at 1
O'Clock.

SIDE TALK.
Animated Discussions Before
the City Council.
MUCH NOISE ABOUT NOTHING.

Aid. Kennedy Gets on His High Horse and
Makes an Exhibition of Himself - Mat
tiers Brought Up Before the AIdermanic
Assembly Last Evening.
The semi-monthly meeting of the
city council last evening was charac-
terized by number of animated dis
cussions, in which Aid. Kennedy was
the most conspicuous participant.
1t was apparently an off night for the
Sixth ward alderman, whether in
consequence of the heat or otherwise,
but at all events he had it in for
somebody, and he didn't care very
much who. so that he gave expression
to his fevered feelings.
Kennedy Opens Fire.
Kennedy was first heard on the
matter of charging the Tri-City
Electric Sprinkler company for wa
ter rental. when he took occasion to
sneeringly allude to Aid. Evans. the
special committee To whom the mat
ter had been referred, and who had
asked further time to report, for rea-
sons good and sufficient to the mind
vi any idlI Dui
Mr.. Kennedy assumed that Mr..
Evans was busy building new bust
ness block now and therefore could
not give his aldermanic duties the
attention that might be expected of
him otherwise. Mr.. Kennedy moved
therefor, that the matter be taken out
of Aid. Evans hands and referred to
some one else. The latter explained
that he had not neglected the work
assigned to him in the least, but he
| talked with the superintendent OF
water works in relation to it, and
that the question still being unset
tied as to how much was to be charged
for sprinkling about city property a.
! well as the actual consumption OF
| the sprinkler. the committee was not
yet redy 20 report.
The council took up Aid Kennedy
unreasonable motion and defeated it.
