No Record of the DissOlving
of the Modern WOOdmen
Injunction
Against the Removal of the Head
Clerks Office From Fulton
to Rock Island.
Head Attorney johnson Charged
With Inciting Riot--Many
Broken Heads.

Judge GeSt> S decree QlSSOlVlnS the III.
junction against the removal Of Head
Clerk Hawes Office, Modern Woodmen
of America, from Fulton has yet been
filed at Morrison, where the injunction
was granted. Therefore the injunction
is still in force. The Fultonites, it is
claimed, were justified in repelling the
Rock Island Woodmen invaders, and
the Rock Islanders and friends who as.
sisted are in contempt of court. Head
Attorney johnson of the Modern Wood
men Of America, charged with melting
riot, has been released on bond Of
$500.
How the Trouble Occurred.
The contest between the two towns
dates back several years. At the recent
convention of the order held at Du-
buque, Ia, it was decided to move the
offices and books of Head Clerk Hawes
to Rock Island. Then there was q lull,
but the factions were by no means rec
onciled. Those who are desirous of
having the headquarters retained in
this city applied to the courts for an i'll.
junction restraining their removal. A
temporary injunction was granted, and
the controversy went over until the fall
term of court. The
Slow Process of the Law
was not satisfactory to the Rock Island.
ers, so they determined to take matters
into their own hands. A party was
made up in the city by the Mississippi,
and plans were made for raid on the
Fulton headquarters with the object Of
forcibly taking possession of the books,
records, etc., of Head Clerk Halves,
and removing the headquarters OF
the order to Rock Island. A train
was chartered consisting of three
coaches, baggage car and two boz
cars, and the invaders were soon or
their way to Fulton. The inhabitant.
of the latter town were forewarned
however, and made ready to give thei1
unlimited guests cordial reception. A
fire alarm was sounded and lines o1
hose were laid to points where it wa.
thought the Rock Islanders would be
most likely to disembark. The arriva
of the special train was the signal fol
hostilities to begin. There was
Intense Feeling on Both Sides
and great variety of weapons, thi.
com mbination resulting in the following
casualties: Will Bennett, city marshal
head cut, believed to be fatally hurt
w. H. Flanagan, head badly cut
James Carrier, head cut; Ed Bare, heat
and arms injured; Chris Miller, Lyons
Ia, head cut; +. ]. Casey, Moline, Ills.
head badly injured. A score of others
mostly members Of the Rock Islanders
| were more or less bruised. The fgh
lasted al hour or more, rocks, clubs
and missiles Of every description being
welded industriously by the opposing
forces. The Fultonites finally got tn,
better of the fight and Deputy Sheriff
Farley, with the assistance of a numbe
of citizens of this town, effected tn,
arrest Of Head Attorney johnson Of tn
Modern Woodmen, one Of the Rocl
Islanders, and number of his com
panions.

CHARLESTON, June IL. This
afternoon, about half past 4 o'clock,
Will Tierney, small white boy,
was drowned while swimming in
Elk river opposite the Diamond
Ice Company's Factory Several
comrades had been in swimming
with him but whether any of them
were in with him at the time of the
drowning could not be ascertained.
Some say that he was alone, others
that he was not. At any rate, he
seems to have been seized with
cramps and to have attracted the
notice of bystanders just as he was
about to go down for the last time.
Several negro boys jumped in to
rescue him, but failed to reach him,
and he sank. The body was re-
covered about half an hour later
and carried into the yard of
the ice factory whore, on the ar
rival of DIR. Champe and Tickle a
few minutes afterwards, persistent
but vain attempts were made to re-
suscitate him.
