WITHOUT THE BODY.

Wife of the Man Found at Cable Returns To
Minneapolis at County's Expense.
The lady who came from Minneap-
oils with the avowed intention of re-
turning with the remains of her hus-
band who was found dead in Cable
barn even if they had to be disinterred,
was sent back home yesterday by
Poormaster Lidders. She aban-
doned the idea of having the re-
mains disinterred when informed by
the authorities that they would not
foot the expense. The woman says
her name is Mrs. Anna Smedley. In
letters found in her husbands pos
session he was addressed as McCargle.
1t is supposed he assumed the name
of McCargle as means of evading
apprehension of the authorities, as
skeleton keys and burglar tools
found among his effects showed him
a crook. That Smedley had been
connected in some misdealings is
confirmed by letter from his wife,
who prevailed upon him to permit
her to come to him, and threatened
to ''turn him up" if he did not con.

The Suttons, the erstwhile resi-
dents of this city, who are now num-
bered among the people of Daven-
port. have found their way into the
justice courts in that city, but in a
different light from that characteriz-
iog their course here. They were
the plaintiffs and came out winners.
Thus speaketh the Democrat:
''Search-warrant proceedings aren't
everyday affairs, and they usually
suggest unpleasant things, but in an
action in Judge Blocks court
Wednesday they were free from SEN
sational features. The facts as they
appeared upon trial were that Elijah
Bentley Sutton and his brother, F.
w. Sutton, have been using box
stall in connection with Winchester
LOTIONS livery stable, and that F.
W. Sutton told Lorton that he could
hold onto certain set Of harness as
security for the rental of the box
stalls. Mr.. Lorton took the harness
from the stalls, but Bentley claimed
that it belonged to him, and swore
out search warrant for the purpose
OF recovering it. Constable Hall
found the harness and it was pro-
duced in court. and the evidence
showing that it belonged to Bentley.
and that his brother had conducted
all the negotiations for the rental of
the stalls. the court held that pos
session rightfully remained to Bent
ley, and he carried off the harness in
triumph"

raised to donate the Anthony tract,
which is the same size as the Hard.
ing. Whatever is done, he said,
must be done quickly, as but three
days remain. He was inclined to
think that this was the best thing
that could be done. This would re-
quire $4,000 more. 1t was also
learned that the water argument had
been pressed. 1t seems that the
superintendent of other asylums in
the state almost have water on the
brain and they have been writing
letters to the governor and some Of
the trustees. urging the necessity
of having the hospital located near
a running stream. OF course this
argument was used in favor of Rock
Island. Mr.. Gale pointed out that to
secure water supply, pure and ad-
equate. it is not absolutely necessary
that an institution be located next
to a river. The water argument,
however, is just as strong against
Monmouth as against Galesburg. 1t
is not likely that the governor will
visit the various sites. In view OF
what MIR. Gale says it is important
that judicious action be taken
quickly.
1.-The Galesburg committee met
with Mr.. Gale this morning and
talked over the situation. There
was nothing definite done, although
it was the belief that the Anthony
site could be donated outright and
plans to that effect were discussed. y

THE HOLIDAY SEASON,

on ApaCe.
The false prophet who based his
reputation on the prediction that
this would be an unusually dull hol-
iday season missed his calling, for
the very appearance of things does
not carry out his theory. The mer-
chants of Rock Island are not antici-
pating a quiet midwinter trade.
Glance at the shop windows, take
in consideration the extensive and
elaborate displays, and the thought
that there is any serious prospect OF
a dull winter will quickly vanish.
1t is doubtful if Rock Island ever ap.
peared in more attractive holiday at.
tire than she does this year. and the
person who does not realize that the
holiday times are upon US is not
forming conclusions from the ap-
pearance of things.
The stores of Rock Island tell an
altogether different story.

STOLE HIS MONEY.
Downtown Man Robbed in a
Third Avenue Saloon.
THE OFFENDER GOES UNNoT1oED.

Police Department Gives Little Consider
alton to the Compiainant's Grievance
and Refuses to Arrest the Accused. Who
Cannot be Found Now.
In refusing to arrest a man who
robbed q downtown citizen in q
Third avenue saloon last night the
police department has subjected
itself to public censure. Today in
further Investigating the affair an
attempt to apprehend the accused
proved fruitless, and it is supposed
he has availed himself of the gener-
Gus opportunity and hied away until
the storm has subs ided. The victim
of the robbery is gentleman resid-
ing on First avenue. While fairly
organized he stepped into the sa-
loon and after INDUCING in few
more rounds was touched for the
contents Of his pockets-about SIS
by middle-aged man who lives in
the central portion of the city and
follows the barkeepers' vocation, so
he story goes. 1t is presumed the
victim did not realize that he had
been robbed until the TOUGHER had
ample time to vanish, but when he
made the discovery an officer was
apprised of the circumstances.
CuIprit Found at Home.
Together the policeman and citi-
zen started out to locate the man
with the ill-gotten finances. He was
found at home, but the officer not as
much as intimated that he was liable
to punishment. Here it was learned
that $40 of the stolen money had
been deposited with Second avenue
saloonkeeper. to whose establish
ment the officer and victim and
mother of the accused went for the
purpose of demanding the return of
the money. The saloon keeper ad-
mitted that the amount had been left
with him, and after further ex-
plantations handed it over to the
lady, whose object was to restore the
money to the owner and prevent her
sons arrest.
Takes the Money From Her.
The son followed the trio into the
saloon and as his mother was about
to return the money grabbed it from
her hand and departed in the pres
ence of the officer, who evidently
looked on the affair as one of COM
mon occurrence.
