Loran A. Gsiaglss, Of south Rock Island.
Arrested On . Serious Charge.
Loran A. Gingles. of South Rock
Island, was arrested yesterday after
noon on a warrant sworn out by Hen
rietta Yohe, charging him with being
the father of her child, now nearly
two months old. He was held in $500
bonds for his appearance this morn
ing. This morning at 10 o'clock
quite a crowd had filed into Squire
Hawes' Office to listen to the case,
and when the defendant appeared
he brought marriage license with
him. aud the young folks were mar
ried.
The case had occasioncd no little
excitement in South Rock Island, aud
the outcome of the affair was watched
with keen interest, as both young
folks are well known there, the plain
tiff being the daughter of Constable
Yohc, of South Rock Island.
Police Points.
Ed Herman was taken before MAJ
istratc Schroeder Yesterday after
noon, and was bound over in $3.50
bonds for larceny.
A number of tramps having in
their possession some silk handkcr-
chiefs, knives, combs and other ar
ticlcs, such as are usually carried by
fancy store. are being held by the
police to await developments.
Rumor hath it that Chief of Police
Sexton is about TO put his No. II
foot down on all saloon keepers,
whose places are frcquented by wo-
men, and it is not improbable thai
some licenfes may bc revoked.
George Mcbride was arrested ON :
warrant sw orn out Ivy his wife, il
which he is charged with being pug
naciOus in the extreme, especially
when he imbibes too much chops.
He is having his hearing this after
noon.

..Unless l am more surprised than
I have ever been in my life." said =
real estate man in conversation with
an ARGUS representative this morn
ing, ..Rock Island will experience
an unusually active season with
the opening of spring, not
withstanding the financial dc.
preston through which this
city. in common with others all
over the country has passed. But the
people arc recovering from tho un-
fortunate conditions Of the past year,
they arc gradually rcgainfng their
footing, and by the time spring
opens up, as fair prospects rs ever
will be before us. have been in the
real estate business here for a num-
Der Of years. and am happy to say
that have more deals ON hand now
than l had for the corresponding pc
riOd year ago. Much as it NAV be
doubted BY those who are over con-
sentative. there is much inquiry for
real estate Just now. and thus it is
that hail with delight the opening
up of the Brooks tract, which has for
years been an eycsorc to the commu-
nifty in its unimproved condition, and
which would no doubt have remained
so for years, but for the Columbian
effort, and while that enterprise
failed of its purpose, it has accom-
plished one good, and that in the
face Of many obstacles, in placing
desirable property on the market. and
getting it out Of the hands of those
who have permitted it to lay dor.
mant. For this much VIC should all
feel grateful.
II look for one of the best building
neighborhoods in this section, in Co.
