structed to see marshal and have no.
tees published in the papers that here
after the ordinance would be more
strictly enforced. Mr.. Holt thought
this was unnecessary, but the opinion
prev allied that as the enforcementhe here
tofore had been lax, it was better to
give the public fair warning before
attempting to strictly enforce the law.
The bad sidewalk question was dis
cussed, and street committee was in
structed to condemn the bad walks.
Aid. Hedin brought up the financial
question, but the finance committee
was not ready to report on the matter
at this meeting and was given further

O. G. Berger, who is in the employ
OF Fred w. Segerstrom, met with an
accident last Friday morning which,
although not serious in it's results,
leaves him with bigger lip than his
friends are accustomed to see him use.
He was out on one of his canvassing
trips, and when near Atwater drove
up to the home of Andrew Nelson, who
lives southwest of that place. He left
his horse in the yard united while he
sat down on the lawn and engaged in
convers alton with Mr.. Nelson. In the
mean time the horse had got the check
rains twisted under the shafts and
when Mr.. Berger returned and pro-
ceeded to adjust the rains, the animal
became unruly. The horse raised up
his head, coming down with full force
on Mr.. Berger's face in such man
ner that the teeth struck his upper lip,
inaicting an ugly cut and stunning
him for time. After q temporary
dressing OF the wound, he proceeded
to . Willmar, where DIR. Mclaughlin
attended to his case. It was a close
call for Mr.. Berger, as under the cir
cnmstances he might have been severe
u injured.

Tom LOTUS Decides to Quit Col.
umbus With His Ball
Team.
ROCK ISLAND BEING CONSIDERED.

Highly Probable That the Club VIII BE
Brought Here Within the Next week
Poor Attendance Cause for Removal
Assurance of Substantial Support From
This City.
Rock Island stands capital show
of getting into the Western Baseball
league. The last game of the West
ern league ball will be played in CO.
lumbus Sunday. That much NAV be
stated positively, although the future
home of the team is as yet uncertain.
Manager Lotus stated in emphatic
terms that he could not be expected
to keep the team there when no one
went to see the games.
When the western trip is begun the
manager will at once look over two
locations which he has in view, and it
is highly probable that Rock Island
will be the one chosen. Regarding
the Cleveland story, Mr.. Lotus sim
ply says that the Forest city is league
territory.
The attendance at Columbus has
averaged little over 200 at game, so
that the managers feel that they would
be taking no chances in going else
where, for they could not do much
worse. Lotus makes no secret of his
disgust and of his intention to seek a
new location.
President NJ. II. Sexton, of the
local association, learning that Lotus
was firing of the slim patronage he
was receiving from Column bus, wrote
the Ohio manager telling him of the
excellent prospects here, and assuring
him that he would make no mistake
if he brought his team and franchise
to Rock Island; that the attendance
here this season had averaged 400 for
week days and 1000 for Sundays for
Western association ball, and that
there was every reason to expect that
a Western league team would draw
considerably larger. Mr.. Sexton
offered Manager LOTUS the park free
of charge for a year.
Columbus is captained by Tebeau,
whose brother Pat, now with St.
Louis, is one of the famous players of
the National league. Columbus has
been putting up a fine article and
stands third in the percentage column.

Iowans Prove Too Swift for Rock Island
Team.
Rock Island and Davenport bankers
squared up accounts on the Twelfth
street baseball lot yesterday after
noon. The Iowans had the whole
program figured before reaching the
battle ground. They had their OPP
Ponents whipped before they met. 1t
was an unequal contest. Davenport
was a bunch of shades too strong for
the company it was pitted against.
The Rock Island controllers ru bbered
over the garden walls for peep at the
cherry trees and did their best to cheer
up, look pleasant and at least make
the visitors feel as though they were
earning their victory.
The players were called to order as
the clock in the tower sang D. Charles
kerns, of Moline. was agreed upon as
umpire and accepted the distinction
with thanks, volunteering to maintain
his position in the thickest of the
frav without mask or chest protector.
The attendance was not as large as it
might have been. 1t was n noisy
crowd, however. The Davenport
rooters occupied the grand stand and
those who did the shouting for the
local team held forth on the bleachers.
And such rag-chewing, and joshing,
and yelling.
In the opening inning Davenport
demonstrated that she had a team
that was altogether two swift for the
nine that had been picked to repre-
sent Rock Islands banking interests
on the baseball diamond. Two scores
were secured by the visitors in the
first, four in the third and three in
the fourth. German, who is consid-
cred the crack amateur twirler of the
town on the other side of the pond,
tossed goods against the home
players. He had them At his mercy.

that he was found for a hit that
