Claims to HAVE Been Fired Upon.


The Democrat claims that Sunday
afternoon q well known citizen OF
Davenport was taking sail in his
canoe, when he was fired upon by q
gang of about a dozen young men,
near Kahlke Bros. boat yard, South
Rock. Island. As the gentleman
sailed along. within leo feet of the
shore, he heard arguing over the re-
spective merits OF those involved on
the shore as marksmen with the re-
volver. One said he could hit the
mast of the canoe. another said he
could hit particular letter of the
name on the bow, and another bet he
could put bullet between the nose
of the navigator and the end of the
boom. Before the man in the boat
could turn his head after the last re-
mark the revolver cracked. and the
bullet splashed into the water within
a dozen feet of the canoe, and in a
place that indicated it must have
passed very close TO the head and
body Of the man in it. The Demo-
crat says "the cano was rounded to,
and the owner made strenuous efforts
even liberal reward, for the identity
Of the shooter, but idiotic grins we're
the only responds he could elicit.
After he had started to sail away one
of the members of the crowd called
after him, Hay, mister! am the
man that done itH but he was SO
quickly lost in the crowd, all strange,
that there was no picking him out.
This is the second time this thing
has happened to this gentleman, only
in the first instance the shooter
proved to be only half witted. On
this side of the river, he complains,
the bank is lined with lot of ribold,
insolent, vile-mouthed wretches who
insult every man who passes. and
take particular delight in heaping
embarrassment upon q gentleman
and lady. or a party, if they can be
caught at q disadvantage in a boat.
There is plain need of little po-
lice patrolling of the river below the
business part of both Rock Island
and Davenport"

was proposed by Aid. johnson and
received the unanimous endorsement
OF the council.
There was a remon STRANGE from a
large majority Of the property hold
ers on Elm street against paving Of
Of that thoroughfare this;year, which
was received and properly referred at
ter q debate. AID. Nelson attacked the
petition as not correctly representing
the views Of q great many of those
signing it as expressed to him, and
accused the street car company of
being the father Of the petition.
Aid. Soderstrom believed there were
people who had signed the remon-
STRANGE who ihad told him they
wanted the work done. Aids. Mauck-
er and johnson held that the petit
ton should be given weight with the
council.
Referring today to Aid. Nelson's as
sertion that the Tri-City Railway
company was responsible for the re-
monstrance in circul alton along Elm
street against paving there this year.
General Manager Lardner said. 'Mr.
Nelson's charge is absolutely ground
less, but he has doubtless gained his
impression from the fact that q man
on our extra motormen list who owns
property on the bluff circulated the
protest. We did not even know of
it for several days and regretted
the circumstance very much when
we did. as l remarked to to Supt.
Huntoon at the time that
Mr.. Nelson would construe the Incl.
dent as an act of ours. But either
he or any other member of the coun-
Gil is at liberty to interview Mr..
Church, and he will not only bear
out what say, or make an affidavit
IL desirable, that we not only exerted
no influence over him, but that on
the contrary we refused to have the
name Of the company attached to the
remonstrance. Our company has
done business with the city long
enough TO have established q record
that should shield us from such &C
cusatious. We have never lodged
matters, hor have we resorted to
undetermined methods. We have al
ways stated our position frankly,
and have not shirked responsibility
under any circumstances.
