Appellate Court Reverses tho Decision In
the Trovnlo- McPbatl Case.
Eta Trovillo's suit against NAL
COIN McPhail for alleged breach of
promise has resulted rather disas-
trously for the fair Reynolds widow
from financial standpoint. jackson
& Hurst, the defendants attorneys.
have been notified that the appellate
court has reversed the decision of the
circuit court, in which she was given
a judgment for $1,000.
This case will be remembered BY
all newspaper readers as probably
the spiciest one which ever=Dccupied
the attention of the circuit court
here. It was tried about year ago.
Mrs. Trovillo ran a dressnaking es-
tablishment over Mcintyre & Nc
Phail's dry goods store in Reynolds.
Mr.. McPhail used to call on her, and
his visits became so frequent, she al
legged. that he cut hole in the floor
to get up into her apartments, so
the outside world would not get onto
his performances. This was contin-
ued for quite awhile, she further de-
clared. and MIR. McPhail promised to
marry her. But when the day agreed
upon came around he backed out.
Then came a suit for 5000 dam
ages.
A verdict OF 1900 was given Mrs.
Trovillo. An appeal to the appellate
court was taken on a writ of error.
Nov comes the decision. And the
widow gets nothing.

surprise on their teacher and princi
pal. Miss Annie Kirkpatrick, Ills
Third avenue, last evening. The
young folk were accompanied by
we'll laden baskets OF good things to

streamed the class colors. Miss
Kirkpatrick was completely dazed by
the delegation of familiar smiling
oountenances which invaded her res
idence, not having had the least init
nation that such an affair was to be
rerpetrated. Several hours were
most agreeably passed in singing
school songs and general sociability.
Then there we're selections by the

END OF CYCLE CLUB
Once Prosperous Organization
Has Dissolved.
CONCLUDING MEETING LAST NIGHT.

Waning Intsress Dictates the Course
Adopted-Rsom for Successful Assoeia-
ton Here-Pagsnt Uadsr the Asspie;s
Of the Y. n. c. A. Postponed.
The Rock Island Cycle club dis
solved last evening. and the clubs
property was satisfactorily dis
posed of.
The club was formed a year ago
with Dr.. r. q. Pearce as president,
Cy Dart vice president, c. A. Spencer
secretary and treasurer ard Lieut..
Ruthers captain. The club furnished
a small suite of rooms in the old gas
works building on First avenue at
the foot OF Seventeenth street and
provided for the social indoor feat
ure as we'll as the out of door exhil-
irating pastine. For q time the
organization fourished. OF late,
however. interest has been gradually
waning. Not that bicycle riders
have become less in mum bers-the
very opposite is the case-but it
seems that those fortunate enough to
own wheels have been too busy en-
joying themselves TO think OF the
club. Those in charge thought best
to abandon the club. while it could
be done with credit. Accord
ingly at the meeting lastevening the
property of the club was sold. the
books closed and the affairs wound
up, and only good record left.
There ought to be a successful
independent wheelmen's organize
ton in Rock Island" said q member
last evening. 1.-The abandonment of
the Cycle club is not discouraging.
Our club started out with 80 mem
bers, but we did not recruit. An en-
tirely new association would sue
coed. am sure. l believe one
should be formed" And from the
way this cyclist talked, q new club
is not outside the range of possibili-
ties in Rock Island.

GLASS NOT GUILTY.
Jury Fails to Hold Him for His
Wife's Death.
CAUSE OF HER DEMISE not KNOWN

Post-mortem Examination Results In NO
New Evidence With Tendency to Im-
piicats the Ba,band In Her Supposed
Unnatural Taking Away.
No new evidence with q tendency
OF duplicating ex-Oflicer William
Glass in the supposed unnatural TAX
ing away Of his wife was introduced
at the coroner's examination con-
cluded at noon today with a verdict
stating that death was produced
by .'congested condition of the
brain and rupture of blood ves-
sells about the base of tho brain
which condition might have been
caused either by excessive drink
or dissipated habits and by other
causes this jury from the testimony
adduced before it cannot determine"
Drs. G. L. Eyster and G. G. Craig,
who conducted the post-mortem ex-
animation. reported that they found
the conditions Of the brain to be
such as to indicate q prior weakened
condition, aud that death resulted
from clot of blood which had
lodged at the base of the brain.
What caused this condition they
were unable to say, but admitted on
cross examination that it could have
been produced by mental excite
ment which would naturally follow q
thrashing which she said had been
administered by her husband. But
the ply sicians found no evidence of
external violence which would war.
rant the opinion that death had been
due to beating.
Story Of the Mother.
Mrs. Elvira Burtis. mother of
the dead woman, said that her
daughter came to her home ill
Wednesday evening last. Il asked
her what was the matter" continued
the witness, land she said that she
had been ill-treatcd by her husband.
She eaid that no one witnessed the
assault; that she had gone to their
apartments to get some clothing and
that Glass had followed her into the
street where the assault occurred.
She did not tell the locality and did
not seem disposed to discuss the at
fair only when closely questioned.
She did not remember how many
times Glass had kicked her. but said
the blows were inflicted in her ab-
domeu. She was very sick and COM
planned of dizziness in her head"
Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac Parry corro-
bOrated the testimony of Mrs. Bur-
tbs.
Glass was discharged from custo-
dy this afternoon.
The funeral of Mrs. Glass took
place at o'clock this afternoon.

In speaking Of the Papazo Indians
Mr.. Mctiee said; They inhabit a coun-
try Of broad plains, with mountain

Is a curious place. The streams rise in

spread upon the plains, the rivers dry
