Row at Milan.

MILAN. Sept. 16-Milan was con-
siderably stirred up this morning
and groups of men stood here and
there discussing the matter. The
cause Of the disturbance was that
the marshsl arrested three bows who
were sitting in front of store under
the charge of disturbing the peace.
The boys were being taken to Jail,
when the ex-policeman, Charles Key
nolds, came along and stopped. He
was told to go on, which he did not
dc, and between the deputy and the
police, he was put in Jail. but not
before he had received a bad bite on
the chin from the deputy. Squire
Brown gave him a chance to plead
guilty or not guilty. and he plead
not guilty. His hearing was held
at o'clock this afternoon Now the
deputy is arrested under a state war
rant for biting the prisoner. The
boys were given their hearing this
afternoon also, but at this writing
the outcome is not known.

MUD, MORE MUD!
Yesterdays OeIuge Brings the
Regular Avalanche.
STREETS COATED WITH PASTE.

Property Holders Complain Bitterly and
Call Upon the City to Act to Prevent
Repeti.ion-EntireIy Impassib,e In
Some Places.
Mud was another synonym for
some of Rock Islands streets last
night and this morning. The heavy
rainfall of yesterday afternoon
coupled with the fact that the city is
unprepared to cope with such con-
ditions as the elements may at any
time combine to inflict, caused the
unpleasantness. Mud, so common
in Rock Island following =
storm in the thought-to be by
gone days before paved streets were
the ordes of the day, has become a
common factor in Rock Island again.
A storm with any degree of force
pushes the clay down from the bluffs
like Shiny paste and to it the brick
pavements seem to possess great ad.
hesive qualities, and the water as it
rushed along simply spread it on
layer after layer. Twentieth street
from the foot of the hill at Ninth
avenue all the way to Third avenue
was plastered from an inch to four
inches thick, and at Ninth it was
simply impossible last night, so
much so that some residents tele-
phoned the mayor to dig them out,
but he was unable to respond until
this morning. Even walks were
covered with the unbecoming SUBJ
stances, and all along the res
ident portion of the beautifully
boulevarded thoroughfare there came
today u remonstrance that may take
the form of determined appeal to
the city authorities that deaf ear
cannot be tuI ned to.
Nineteenth street at the corner of
Sixth avenue was impossible and at
Third avenue there was another ac-
emulation that would have clogged
up the sewer catch basin and flooded
Hartz & Bahnsen company's cellar
again but for hard and persistent
work. Seventeenth, Eighteenth,
rwentv-third and Elm streets were
more or less covered with mud. but
some of the unpaved streets, such as
"cHtN 1WCutN -SCSOuu anu
Twenty seventh. were made almost
impossible, and some of the yards
along the avenues at the foot of
the streets mentioned were nearly
ruined with the muddy masses
swept into them. j. H. Wilson's
yard on Moline avenue, which has
presented such attractive lawns here
tofore, presented sorry spectacle
this morning with its new and un-
slightly covering of mud and clay.
as Mr.. Wilson had just begun to fill
his lot to grade.
Complaint May Result In Action.
The complaint which is so general
up town, over the condition which
existed today, may result in action
being taken looking to impressing
the city with the duty of taking ac-
ton at once. A storm drain is neces-
sary. We are face to face with this
situation, and the council may as vel;
take it up and dispose of it at once.
Otherwise the city may be brough.
to sense of realization of its re-
sponsibility when it is too late to
remedy the evil at less cost.
The city had teams and wagons at
work this morning cleaning off the
streets which had been most thickly
coated and soon had than passable

woman and child were offered $25 pc,

The residence of Henry Fulmer in
Ashley, was destroyed by fire on Satur-
day last, together with all the contents.
The fire caught IN the roof from the
chimney, and tanned by stiff breeze,
burned so rapidly that it was impossi-
BILE to save anything. Mr.. Fulmer was
blowing in the field near the house, and
his wife was at home, but aside from a
small amount Of clothing, nothing was
saved. Loss $1,000, insured for $500
with Morse & Lamb.
Last Tuesday noon fire was discov.
cred at the residence of Charles Bennett.
An alarm was sounded, and the flre de-
partment was quickly on the scene. but
their aid was not needed as the flames
had been quenched by few pals of
water. The FIRE originated in wood
box in the kitchen, presumably by a
spark from the cooking stove. The
damage was small.

4 NEW BAND.
For Sank Centre-ElectiOn of OFF,

Military Band.

The "band election which took place
last Monday evening, $50 anxiously
awaited for by the members for the past
two weeks, and being the principal sub
ject of their conversations" is now
thing of the psst."
The musical organization known as
"Harrison's Military Band" has ceased
to exist, but in its stead there was in
augurated a "new band" composed
principally of the members of the old
band. The officers are as follows:
A o. Scrivener, Manager.
E. B. Simonton, Musical Director.
A Mansell, Sec'y. and Treasurer.
A committee of three, composed OF 81.
Donart, Peter Robischon and Peter Or
var, was appointed for the purpose of
deciding upon an appropriate name for
the organization.
1t is the intention of the boys to give
a series OF concerts this winter and they
will soon commence to practice In good
earnest, each and every member striving

Under the skillful mana cement of Mr..
Scrivener-the popular landlord OF the
Sank Centre House,-there can be no
doubt as to the new organization being
success, and we know that he will al
ways be found ION the lookout" for the
general welfare of the band.
The musical director, E. B. Simonron,
is certainly the right man in the right
place." He is a thorough musician.

finest Cornet player in the state. Mr..
Simonton is lone of our boys" and has
been a member OF the band for a number
of years. Under his dictatorship there
can be only one result-that the band
will soon reach a high standard.
Of Mr.. Mansell, the secretary and
treasurer, it can be said that he is fully
competent to perform the important
duties of these two positions.
The HERALD extends its best wishes to
our new band.
