abeth's Insane Asylum, that they regret
that there are no funds at their disposal
with which to place a fire alarm box at

of the wires. They agree with Dr. Goddine
that there should be a box located at the
asylum.

ARRESTED THE YOUNG BOYS
Who had Been Gaining Admittance to the
Theatre without Tickets.

The police arrested Fred Kellogg,
David Postlewait, Frank Brown, Char
ley Dewing and three other young boys
for gaining admittance to the opera
house by way of the fire escape. They
ranged in age from 10 to Is. Three Of
the boys made a most daring escape
from the officers when they tried TO ar
rest them in the gallehy. The officers
say that there was rope on the north
side of the high building extending from
the top nearly to the sidewalk The boys
Crawled through an upper window and
catching hold Of this rope dropped hand
over hand to the sidewalk below and
ran off. The officers held their breath
during the feat, knowing that slip Of
the hand would be- almost certain death.
The boys who were arrested were taken
to police headquarters, where, after a
severe reprimand, and their written
promise not TO repeat the offense, they
were allowed 10 depart. They were
very badly frightened at the thought of
being so near the city prison that they
not only promised not TO go TO the thea
ire again without a. paid ticket, but they
all said they never intended to patroniZe
the house again. They had been in the
habit OF gaining admittance before the
doors opened and hiding themselves be-
hind the benches, until the gallery be-
came filled up.

haired gardener to do her up a certain
amount, which he did as fast as was
commensurate with his strength and
age.
Hurrying out to her buggy with the

by asking him il he could change g

he could not, but did not hand over the

Scripps- McRae League. correspondent
Of which association had first given it
publicity.
The report was first sent out from Wa

was singing before an audience and in
reaching the high notes her jugular vein

WAR RESUMED.
Modern Woodmea Troubles Break
Out Anew at Fulton, Hi.
ROCK ISLANDERS INVADE THE TOWN.
Efforts to Seize the Books of Head
Clerk Halves Resisted-A Fight
ISnsues I'm Which Many Are
Hurt-One Nl,,y Die.

Fulton, ILL.,, Aug. 14.-Rock Island
Woodmen and others, with train of
three coaches, baggage car and two
box cars. arrived here aud tried their
old trick of stealing the books of the
office of Head Clerk Halves, of the Mod
crn Woodmen of America. Fulton was
ready. A fire alarm was sounded and
lines of hose were laid when they ar
rived. The first break of the Rock
Islanders was to cut the hose. A fight
followed, guns, revolyers and rocks be-
ing used. A partial list of the injured
is: Will Bennett, city marshal, head
cut, believed to be fatal; w. H. Flana-
gan, head badly cut; James Carrier,
head cut; Ed Bare, head and arms in
jured (all of Walton); Chris Miller,
Lyons, Ia, head cut; p. j. Casey, Mo-
line, badly injured on head, and many
others, including several Rock Island
ers. The track is torn up on each side
of the train and Deputy Sheriff Farley
has arrested Head Attorney johnson,
of the Modern Woodmen, and a number
of others. The end is not yet in sight.
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 Halves
to Rock Island. Then there was lull.
but the factions were by no means
reconciled. Those who are DESTROYS of
having the headquarters detained in
this city applied to the courts for an in
junction restraining their removal. A
temporary injunction was granted, and
the controversy went over until the fall
term of court. This was not the first
time the courts has been called upon to
intercede between the warning towns.
The slow process of the law was not
satisfactory to the Rock Islanders, so
they determined to take matters into
their own hands.
