Failure of the Rock Island Police Thus Far
to Get Him Back.

Sergt. Archerand Louis Glockhoff are
back from Burlington, but minus
Riordan. the man implicated in the
theft of Charles Bradley's wheel. He
refuses to come without a requisition.
and Gov. Shaw has been applied to by
States Attorney Searle for the neces-
sary papers. Riordan is an old of
fender. His home is in Burlington
and it is very evident he has long.
long pull there. 1t is doubtful if he
will ever be secured by the Rock ISL
and authorities. The Burlington po-
lice held him rs fugitive from JUS
tice. Riordan engaged an attor-
ney and demanded an immedi-
ate trial. One justice discharged
him before Sergt. Archer arrived
He was rearrested. And yesterday
another justice released him, holding
that there was not sufficient evidence
against him. The Burlington state S
attorney ridiculed this action in view
of the fact that the Justice was shown
the warrant for Riordan. Riordan
was again arrested, and the police
assured Sergt. Archer they would
hold Riordan until the requisition
arrived. if it were possible, they be-
ing anxious to prosecute him.

a Disturbing Sermon.

Many years ago an English clergyman
IN small town preached as his own a
sermon, one that he had bought, and
which had been originally preached in
London when the plague was raging in
that city. After reproving the vice Of
the people, the sermon went on:
For this vice it is that God has Wis.
tied you and your families with that
cruel scourge, the plague, which is now
spreading everywhere in this town."
At his uttering these words the peo-
pie were all SO thunderstorm that the
chief magistrate was obliged to 20 to
the pulpit and to ask him:
"For Gods sake, sir, pardon the in.
terruption, and inform me where the
plague is. that Imay instantly endeavor
to prevent its further spreading"
1.-The plague, SIR" replied the preach
er. Il know nothing about the plague.
Whether it is in the town or not, it is
in my homily."

Missouri aggregation at ST. Joe in the
closing game of the series Yesterday.

Jay Andrews will not be connected
with the Rock Island ball team for
the present at least, although Mana
ger Sage made strong effort to re-
tain him. When the Cedar Rapids
club disbanded jay was secured by
St. Joe. Sage spoke for him, too. and
when he learned this he immediately
offered his services to Rock Island. and
they were accepted. A mighty howl
went up from Hickeyville. Andrews
would do business there or not at all.
So to prevent trouble, Sage surren-
dered the much sought young man
and took in return Ed Hoover, who is
numbered among the crack third base
men of the association.

Raising Bison

Albert and Charles Huber. living a
few miles south Of Durand. Wis. have
a herd Of about twenty-five full-hloode,l
bison and some eighteen crossed bulls
and heiferS. Experiments We're made
early with crossed breeds. and il has
now been found that the cross is very
successful. the half-breeds COMBINING
the docility OF the domestic animals
with the endurance and large size of
the bison. They are also very fine fur
producers. and grow 10 maturity in less
time than domestic cattle. The flesh
Of crossed animals is very palatable
and the fur has all the good qualities Of
that Of the bison. and is softer and
more silky. The crossed bloods can
stand far more exposure in winter than
can the native COW. The Huhars no
lieve they have a fortune in their herd
II they can continue its increase a few
years lonGer.-Milwaukee News.
