Two Desperate and Murderously Intended
Shots. But Neither Believed Serious.

Two Desperate and Murderously Intended
Shots. But Neither Believed Serious.
As soon as Mr.. Mcdonald and DR..
Paul reached the store a hurried ex-
animation of the nature of Barker's
wounds was made. 1t was found
that while either might readily have
proved fatal-indeed it was almost a
miracle that one or the other was not
fatal-neither was of serious effect.
Apparently a 32-calibre revolver had
been used. The bullet which had
been fired into the mouth had passed
through and out of the left cheek.
without very serious effect. The bull
let entering the left arm had passed
along close to to the bone and lodged
on the other side. Mr.. Barker's head
was also badly bruised from the blows
received there.
Kept Up His Nerve.
He. however, stood the ordeal of
having his wounds dressed, with cool
ness and patience. Brave as he had
shown himself to be in his struggle
with the desperate, his nerve did not
desert him afterward. After his in
luries had received such attention as
was possible in the store he was taken
to Mr.. McDonald's home on Fourth
avenue, where an Xray experiment is
being made by DR.. Paul this after
noon in hopes of locating the bullet
still in the left arm.

MONEY FOR ARSENAL
Tri-city Delegation Off for Wash.
ington on Important
Mission.
SEEK INCREASED APPROPRIATION.

To Appear Before Congressional Commit
tee and Urge Proper Recognition OF
the Local Government Manufacturing
Plant Improvement of Rock Island
Harder.
E. II. Guver, of Rock Island; w. r.
Moore. of Moline, and Congressman
j. r. Lane. of Davenport, are of for
Washington to appear before the
congressional committee having in
charge the appropriations for the
government arsenals. Their mission
is to seek for Rock Island arsenal the
recognition it demonstrated during
the recent conflict with Spain it is en-
titled to in connection with the man
ufacture of war materials for the
United States army. The tri-city
committee is in possession of neces-
sary fuel for argument, which was
secured from Commandant 5. T..
Blunt, and goes prepared to make a
strong appeal for an increased ALLOW =
ance for the local arsenal. Newspaper
dispatches and private communication
with representatives in congress show
that Rock Island arsenal has been re-
| ceiving unusual attention among the
authorities at the national capital,
and there is reasonable grounds for tie
depreciation that with the arguments
that will be presented by the COM
mittee from the three cities, an APP
preparation such as will insure the
carrying on OF larger operations at
the arsenal will be recommended.
Appropriation for the Hsrbor.
Mr.. Guyer was selected for the
Washington mission by the Rock Isl
and Club committee, c. j. Searle be.
ing unable to go. and will in addition
to working for the arsenal, interview
Congressman q. W. Prince in relation
to an appropriation for completing the
Improvement of the Rock Island har.
Dor, which was begun a few year:
ago by the government. Petitions
are in circulation in the city asking
Representative Prince to use his en-
deavors in behalf of IN appropriation
of SO, 900 for the project.

Deadly Coal Gas.

J The officials of Camden are investigat.
ing three cases of asphyxiation which have
occurred in one house within two days,
one of which resulted fatally. On Friday
night Isaac Wills dozed away in the
kitchen in the absence of other members
of the household except his thirteen year
old daughter, Maggie who sat near by.
When Mrs. Joshua Willetts, his house
keeper, and who was known to the neigh
bors as Maggie Benazole, entered the
room, she found Wills unconscious and the
girl in dazed condition.
Wills was sent to Cooper hospital, while
the girl was sent to the home of her aunt,
Mrs King, in Camden. A medical exami-
nation of both patients disclosed the fact
that they had BEEN victims of coal gas,
which had escaped through defective
flue.
Wills was discharged from the hospital
Saturday, but Mrs. King, unaware of that
fact, called at the institution to see him.
She went direct to his home. Her knocks
at the front door were not answered at
first, but finally the door was opened by
Wills, who was surprised that Mrs. Viii
let's had not responded A search was
made for the woman, and in the same
room where Wills was discovered the
night before the woman was found, also
unconscious, and also victim of asphyx-
iation.
The woman was put in patrol wagon
to be sent to Cooper hospital, but died
before reaching that institution. County
Physician Jones gave a certificate of death
in accordance with the above facts, and
the house will be thoroughly inspected.
Mr.. Wills recently lived on Pearl street,
Mount Holly. Maggie Benazole was his
housekeeper. She was a woman about so
years of age. While living with Wills
she was married to Joshua Willitts, with
whom she lived short time, finally re-
turning to the Wills house, and going
with Wills and his daughter to Camden
about six months ago.
