Many Rock islanders will be
grieved to learn of the demise of
James f. Cartwright. who visited
this community for several years as
a representative of the Bronson.
Brown Tea company, of New York.
Jim was big, genial. generous
hearted and jolly fellow, who was
welcomed everywhere. He came
here for the last time last spring.
since which time he has been con-
fined in Peoria hospital. where he
expired last week. A fellow traveller
pays the following tribute to him in
the Peoria Herald: Poor Jim
Cartwright after long illness, has
at length passed away. all that was
mortal OF him being laid to rest in
Springdale last Tuesday. While he
had for years made this city his
headquarters, he had for some rea-
son steadfastly refused to become 4
member of the association. This,
however. did not prevent the boys
from doing all in their power to
make his last hours bright as posi-
bic. and in company with the lodges
to which he belonged will contribute
to the expenses attendant upon de-
cent sepulcure. Truly sad case
was this of Cartwright, dying hun
dreds Of miles from home apparent
ly deserted by those who should hold
him dear. and dependent through
ILLNESS and in death on fraternal So
cieties and the b;g-heartedness OF his
fellow travellers. Thank God. they
did not fail in duty. Possibly the
narrow enemies of secret societies,
the carping critics of social and be-
nevolent organizations may now ad.
nit that in such bodies there is
taught charity greater than their
own and that in them is brother
hood of man beyond their narrow
comprehension. Poor Cartwright
May he rest in peace and may his
many splendid qualities be long re.
me m bered."

ACOUITTAL FOR MATSON.
Young Carlson ContrAdicts Former State

Young Carlson Contradicts Former State
ments Impeaching His Comraaie
A verdict of acquittal was returned
in the Matson case last evening. Mat
son can attribute his escape from the
penitentiary to the faithiulness of
his comrade, Oscar Carlson, who
siubbornlv refused to sustain former
assertions duplicating the defendant
made in the presence OF the authori-
ties. In letter to States ATTORNEY
Searle Carlson admitted Matson's i'm
plication in the theft. and conse-
quently was brought from the peni-
Tertiary rs witness, for the prosecu-
ton. Carlson also stated at the
sheriff's office Monday evening that
Matson. was guilty OF the charge
against him. But in spite Of these adj
missions, he stood by his comrade on
the witness stand, and denied every
statement attributed to him concern
ing Matson's guilt. Responding to
States Attorney Searle's pressing
queries relative to these admissions
Carlson would only say: .Oh,
only wanted to hear myself talk. |

.Joe's Downfall,

Occupants of the county and cir
cult clerks offices were frightened
this morning by loud and sudden
thud with report like ton of brick
falling into the building. An inves-
tigation revealed the fact that City
Attorney Haas had simply collidcd
bosomward with the floor. In the
corner of the county clerks Office
is one of those whirly-gig chairs. Joe
having some documents to peruse
went to sit down; the seat portion
of the chair had been unwound so far
as to be all but out of the socket.
When Joe lowered his manly form
onto it the seat came down and SC
did the city attorney, who was too
aggravated to indulge in the laugh
given him at first, but afterwards he
saw the funny part and laughed too.

the Rural Farmer Takes the Railroad
Track For Highway.
Before Charles Linn had an oppor-
tunity to consider what had occurred
he was dangling in space about
twenty feet from terra firma and his
wagon was reduced to atoms, and
one of the horses mangled by the
merciless train which rushed around
the curve in Weyerhauser & Denk-
mans lumber yard. in the lower end
of the city about 1920 last evening.
Linn is a farmer residing in Rural
township. about four miles from
Coal Valley. Yesterday he brought
some country provisions to the city
to dispose of. After wandering
around n while he INDUCED in a few
bowls of the sparkling fluids. Rock
Island extracts seemed difficult to
part with and Charles continued
to absorb. In the course of his
transactions he became irresponsible
although it is not likely he thought
SO. Eventually he started on his
homeward march. but experienced
much trouble in locating the high
way which he believed led to Milan.
Becomes Irresponsible.
In fact Mr.. Linn drank so
much that by the time of even
ing's approach, he drifted down, 70

a terrific crash.

That Linn escaped death is mir
acle. Fortunately the abruptness OF
the collision threw him from the
wagon, landing him him over against
a fence considerable distance away
He was lifted about twenty feet, and

A horrible affair occurred in Dav-

years of age. accompanied by her Is
year-old brother, retired to bed in a
room on the second floor of the

The boy and girl occupy separate
beds in the same room, and ut about
10 o'clock the boy was awakened by
screams and found the room full of
smoke. Cropping his way as best he
could to his sisters bed, he found it
mass OF smouldering fire. His
hand was burned in his effort to save
his sisters life, but the effort was

flames were eXtinguished.

what had happened. She was badly

THUR TON IN CHICAGO.
Has Nothing to Say Except That He Is
Feeling Well.

CHICAGO, March 90. - Minister
ThurstOn, persona non grata to Secre-
tary Gresham, came into Chicago
about sunset this evening and went
into executive session with Fred w.
Job, the local Hawaiian Consul, and
to reporters he had not one word to
say. He declared that talking was
not diplomatic, lesson he had re-
Gently learned at Washington to his
sorrow, and he even refused an opin-
ion as. to the climate of Chicago as
compared with that of his little cOun-
try out in the Pacific.
He left tonight over the Northwest
ern, and in the meantime did not have
much to say about his trouble with
Secretary Gresham.
ST have nothing to say, except that
am feeling well after my trip" said
he.
Mr.. Thurston was rushing to the
Coast to catch the steamer on April
4th, and Immediately after dining
with Mr.. Job, at the Chicago Beach
| Hotel, he rushed to the Northwestern
| flyer. He only had time to announce
that he knew nathing save what had
been already written, and refused to
discuss the causes which led to his
recall.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Minister
Thurston left Washington for Boston
this afternoon. Before starting he re-
ceived a message from Honolulu of q
personal nature, but nothing from his
Government in regard to the demand
of the United States for his recall
from Washington.
From Boston it is the intention of
Mr.. Thurston to go to San Francisco,
whence he will sail for Hawaii April
4th. In all probability the successor
of Mr.. Thurston as Hawaiian Minister
at Washington will be Secretary of
the Legation Frank p. Hastings, who
is also Charge d'Afaires ad Interim
in the Official Gazette of his Govern
ment.
+ When Mr.. Thurston was first talk
ed of as Minister to the United States
he was averse to accepting the posi-
ton because of his varied and extern
sive personal interests. Finally he
consented to serve, STIMULATING how
ever, that Mr.. Hastings should be
associated with him at Washington.
It is said that if President Dole does
not appoint Thurston's successor
within q reasonable period, Minister
Willis will be transferred to Toxic, dis
placing Mr.. Dunn, hold-Over Re-
