Some time ago he fell from his wagon
and received a bruise in the left lee
between the knee and the thigh.
Eventually amputation became neees-
sary and he was operated on four
weeks ago. The patient rallied nice
ly, but owing to the length of time
that had elapsed before the injured
limb was given proper attention, the
poisonous substance spread through
out the system. and nothing could be
done to save his life. Mr. Ouslev was
born in Lincoln county, Kentucky, in
1927. He served through the civil
war, enlisting at GAINESVILLE. and was
mustered out at Nashville, Tenn. Mr.
Ousley came to Rock Island 20 years
ago. and by his honest dealings and
industrious habits had won the good
will and confidence of all who knew him.
Besides his wife he leaves two broth

monthIy Meeting Last Night.
Cars operated by electricity Will in
all probability be whizzing across
Rock river bridges into the town of
Milan before winter. 1t has long been
the desire ef the Tri-City Railway
company to provide its patrons there
with accommodations equal to those
from Sears to Rock Island, but it was
known that the bridges were not of
sufficient strength to Withstand the
additional burden of motors, and it
was seen that money would have to
be expended on them before they could
be used for the purpose. So when
the extension of the company's fran
chise, which was finally granted, was
up for discussion before the council n
few months ago, General Manager j.
f Lardner made proposition, which
was accepted, that his company would
donate $4,000 toward the work of
strengthening the bridges whenever
the city saw fl to undertake it, and
would furthermore extend its electric
line into Milan 1t was unanimously
voted at last nights semi-monthly
meeting of the city council TO proceed
with the Improvement of the bridges.
Hence the finish of the horse car seems
near at hand
