Arguments In Progress.

The arguments in the Fred Hass
application for an injunction against
the Rock Island & Peoria railway, be-
gun yesterday afternoon before Judge
Guest, will probably consume the re-
mainder of the week. The company,
in its answer denies the claim of the
petitioner, that the property owners
hold in fee the land lying north of the
north line of the blocks, and vast
amount of statistics in relation to the
history of the of the ownership of the
land in controversy is submitted in
support of the company's contention,
that the title to the property is vested
in the city of Rock Island.

keep the local committee posted fully,
advising THE ARGUS through the day
and up to p m, and thereafter
until the following morning the
Union. Capt. Mcdonald departed at
midnight as the committees special
representative, L. G. Eddy going also
on his own account. T. III. McNevin
was selected by Capt. Mcdonald pre-
vious TO his departure to act as direc-
tor-general of the local arrange
ments in his absence. Numerous COM
mittees were provided for to have
charge of different branches of the
general work of preparation. Mayor
Medill was chosen chairman of the
reception committee. those to be asso-
ciated with him being Maj. S. f. Blunt,
and G.. Med. Townsend and Lieut..
o. c. Horney, of the regular army,
together with all veterans of the civil
war, sons of veterans and the citizens
generally of Rock Island. The at
tending of the floral features of the
reception to the boys on their arrival
was assigned to the Ladies Aid soci-
ETY. of the Sons of Veterans. 1t was
decided that one long whistle from the
waterworks was to be the signal two
hours in advance of the arrival of the
train conveying the boys home, and
thereupon it is expected all whistles
in the city will join in the chorus.
The bells on all the engine houses are
to be rung and the bells in the towers
of all city churches are requested to be
rung. This racket it is expected will be
continued at intervals from the time
the waterworks whistle sounds the
opening note until the procession form
ing at the depot reaches Market square
Should the arrival occur in the day
time Supt. Young has been asked to
obtain permission from the board of
education to dismiss the public
schools for the half day, while all fac
tories and business houses are re-
quested to close during the time of
the reception. The general plans are
to be carried out as heretofore an
nounced. The boys are to be met at
the depot they arrive at and escorted
by the old soldiers to Market square,
and there addressed briefly by
Mayor Medill. They will then be
sent to the Armory, where they will
be dismissed. A few days later it is
proposed to give them public recep-
ton, followed by banquet at the
Harper exclusively to the boys of the
company serving or enlisted at the
outbreak of the war, at which Mayor
Medill will be the host on behalf of
the city, and on which occasion
speeches will be made by citizens yet
to be selected.
Bleuer's band has, in a spirit of pa
triotism, rendered its services gratu-
itiously on the arrival of the boys,
and holds itself in readiness to turn
out on few minutes notice. Capt.
Beardsley reports the committee on
decoration in readiness to decorate
the city on a scale not heretofore at
tanned in Rock Island. Every prep
aratiOn was made to meet any emer-
gency in the unexpected arrival of
the company, but it is not now anti
cipated that the boys will be home so
soon but what ample notice may be
given. 1t is well, nevertheless, to be
fully prepared.
