Moline Athletic Club Resents Tearing
Down of Baseball Fence
Trial of the negroes arrested at the
|instigation of the Moline Athletic
club for tearing down the fence sur
rounding the clubs baseball park has
been postponed, pending a promised
settlement. Monday night an army
of 800 citizens marched to the clubs
ball park in the west end of the town
to assist the police in serving war
rants on the negro workmen in the
employ of the D., R. 1. & n. W. road
for malicious mischief.
The railroad builders had dispute
with the Athletic club regarding their
right of way through its baseball
park, and, fearing further delay, had
decided to rush things by tearing
down the fence and laying the tracks
before morning. The scheme was
discovered and a blanket warrant
sworn out for the arrest of the whole
gang. Thirty-three of the l46 ne
groes took to the woods at the first
alarm. The other IS, together with
the three bosses, were taken in the
patrol wagon to the police station.

Another Way of Getting g Drink

A sad-faced stranger dropped into
a Rock Island business house the
other day and asked for a stamp, with
which he said he wanted to forward q
letter to his sick mother. He was
out Of employment and penniless and
wished to send few words of cheer
to her. His story seemed plausible
and he was given the stamp. The
same day the business man visited a
saloon in the neighborhood.
Funny thing happened to me a
while ago." said the man behind the
mahogany. "A fellow offered me six
2-cent stamps for a drink. Stamps
arc as good as money, so accom- mo-
dated him. But i have since been
thinking he may have stolen the
stamps"
Il don't believe it," replied the
customer; ''at least can vouch for
one of them. He got it from me on
a hard luck story" And then he told
the barkeeper how he had been
worked.

There was a wreck on the Rock ISL

cars were being switched west at the
above point. when, at the junction oi
the Rock Island and Burlington tracks.
the rear end of the forward car left
the track, and the rear car, smash
ing into it from the side. completely
demolished it. The forward car was
empty and the rear one loaded, the
latter sustaining no great damage.
The two cars were left crosswise on
the tracts in such shape that no trains
could pass.
Wreck Cleared.
A force of men was at once set at
work, but it was nearly o'clock be-
fore the tracks were opened.
