HENRY'S HOWL.

The Supposed Representative o; she is r.
Road Not Pleased with the Impression
He Made Here.
According to a Davenport paper,
a. Henry. who spent some time in
Rock Island last summer, sup
posedly in the interests of the Jack
sopville Southeastern road, has writ
ten letter to W. c. Wadsworth, of
that city, in which reply is made to
n proposition to cooperate in the
Rock Island terminal project. Mr..
Henry goes on to say that in his
estimation the j. :. f. will not 90
into the terminal scheme, .'but l
think" says he ''if the city of Rock
Island would grant them the fran
chisethey askedlast spring they would
build as then stated. Otherwise |
understand they will build up Rock
river to Port Byron Junction. The
Rock Island people have not kept me
posted in their moves. have heard
nothing from them since last July,
and we look on this terminal scheme as
4 scheme to keep the J. ). +. out OF
Rock Island. The majority OF the
frontage was signed but the I'm

ed it to the council to have ordinance
passed. A city with so little enter

have a railroad give it the go-by.
have no more time to fool away with
| the people of Rock Island. Ii they
want the road they will now have to
do the work themselves.
How Henry Does Business.
In reply to Mr.. Henry's howl about
! Rock Island. written so CONSIDERABLY
to gentleman in Davenport, it may
be said that if the people Of Rock Isl
and had taken up the matter them
selves in the first place, they might
have had the road by this time. In
stead. Mr.. Henry attempted a still
| hunt here for what he wanted
until he found his mysterious way
of doing had aroused suspic-
| ion and caused reaction against
him. and then he went before
the Improvement association. and
asked that body to help him out.
Notwithstanding, however, that Mr.
! Henry's own course had handicapped
any work in the behalf of the j. ;. f,
the association took hold of the mat
ter and did what it could for the pro-
| ject. 1t NAV be said for Mr.. Henry :
| benefit. too. that Rock Island needs
no advice from him as to what shall
constitute enterprise, and it is hap
Ply thought to know that he has no
| more time to fool away with the
| people of Rock Island. 1t would
have been better for the J, 5. E.road
| had he had no time to fool" away
here in the first place. This fool
business of Henry'S has placed the
| road where he claims it is in its re
lations to Rock Island.

road. 1t will welcome it most heart
lily and do all possible to secure its
entry into the city. We can but be-
lieye that when moved by any de-

Wore Fire Protection Needed.

As has been contended by THE
ARGUS for some time, part of the
east end needs more fire protection,
and certainly is entitled to it.
Yesterdays fire was another forcible
demonstration of the inadequacy of
the present department to handle
fires in the extreme ends of the city.
Every year the hundreds of houses
erected in both ends of town make
it more imperative, and indeed it is
little wonder that the residents are
making no little complaint Of the
protection in the east end. Another
station should be established on Mo
line avenue at some point from which
a run could be made either way and
that, too, at the earliest time posi-

Yesterday Afternoons Fire on Forty-Third
Street-More Protection Needed.
An alarm of fire at 4:55 Yesterday
afternoon from box ~ at the corner
of Forty-fourth street and Fifth ave-
nue. gave the central companies a
long and hard run. They made ex-
cellent time for the long distance.
but before their arrival the roof of
the building had fallen in and
it was impossible to do
anything to save it, 1t was a 3
story frame dwelling located at 430
Forty-third street, owned by James
McCann and occupied by W. J. Bled-
soc. a conductor on the Rock Island.
The fire was caused by defective
fiue, the roof being all ablaze before
the family and neighbors discovered
it. 1t was at once seen that it would be
impossible to do anything with buck
cts. and the attention of the neigh
bors was turned to getting out the
household goods. All the goods down
stairs were gotten out, but on the
second floor the work had to be aban-
doned. as the roof lell in with a crash
shortly after.
a Long Delay
1t was about % minutes after the
fire was discovered before the depart
ment arrived, the delay being caused
by the turning in of the alarm and
the 2-mile run of the trucks. In the
meantime the fire had burned with
undated fury, the house being
almost a total loss. Streams were
| turned on and adjoining property
protected which was being endan-
gered by the high wind that was
blowing. The house was valued al
81, 900 and the furniture, upon which
there is no insurance. represents 4

An Important Case Decided.

Gratiot Journal
The Todd VS. Bannster case which was
decided in this circuit court and decided for
plaintiff, awarding damages of $1,000, and
afterward reopened for trial, has lately been
disposed of by the supreme court.
1t seems that Bannister. an engineer of
considerable ability, entered into an agree
ment with one Todd, a miner, to sell certain
mining stock belonging to, the latter and
turn over to him, in a certain time, $5, 600.
Todd gave him deed signed in blank; taking
merely little slip of paper showing what
the contract was. Bannister sold the stock,
pocketed the money and skipped for New
Mexico. Since that time Todd, through his
attorneys, Mr.. Lyon, of Owosso and B. III.
Sawyer, of this place, has been seeking re-
dress in the courts. The decision of the
supreme court now MAKES the judgment
good, and levies have been made on all of
Bannister's property which is in sight, not
enough, however, to satisfy the judgment.
