A Football Incident In New York.

Mr.. Frank w. Graves during his
newspaper career witnessed many sin
gular scenes. but the oldest one hap
pened, according to Mr.. Graves, in the
old days when the big college football
teams played their star games on the
New York polo grounds on Thanksgiv-
ing day.
On the occasion mentioned Yale and
Princeton had played and Yale had
won.
Going up Broadway there walked a
dapper young Princeton man and a
girl. Going down Broadway at the
same moment were eight victorious
young Yale men. They were happy,
but silent, and they came straight
down the street until they spied the
Princeton pair.
Then still in silence, moved by a sin
gle purpose. the Yale men formed 4
made way for them they went around
and around the Princeton pair. At first
the young man was surprised, then an
gered, and at last he raised his cane
and made dash for liberty, whereup-
on the Yale men stopped and. without
a word. fell upon him as they do in
football. quietly, heavily and quickly.
Then, Strengthening themselves again
into line, the eight Yalesians stopped
n moment and in concert raised their
hats to the thoroughly frightened girl
and silently resumed their ma rch down
the street.-Sa turday Evening Post.

HECK IS UP AGAIN
Defendant in Another Proceeding
for Contempt of
Court.
PERSISTS IN REFUSING PRISONERS
Mayor McConochie Says The City
Will Continue to
Fight.

Another proceeding for contempt of
court against George w. Heck, Rock
Islands commissioner of streets, was
begun in the circuit court this morn
ing, after Heck had refused to accept
Roy Stringer, sentenced by Judge
Gest to work out a fine upon the
streets.
As stated in THE ARGUS heretofore,
it was the announced intention of the
city TO carry the first case in which
Heck was fined SIS for contempt to
the appellate court, but whom an or
der of commitment was issued by
Judge Gest. rather than have the
street commissioner go to Jail the
municipality settled. Hence. that
was the end of the proceeding of which
it was originally proposed by the city
to make a test case by getting a rul-
ing form higher tribunal of justice.
This morning the sheriff, in accord
ance with the courts order, rendered
Stringer to Street Commissioner
Heck. The latter would not accept
the custody of the prisoner, who was
thereupon returned to the county jail,
States Attorney Searle later filed in
formation against Heck commanding
him to appe Ir in the circuit court and
show cause why he should not be
punished for contempt.
Mayor McConochie stated this after
noon that the city would persist in
refusing to work prisoners on the
public streets.
City Changes Its Position.
When the contempt case of Street
Commissioner Heck came up in the
circuit court late this afternoon, City
Attorney Scott, acting for the NUM-
cipality, agreed to take the prisoners.
seven in number, and a receipt for
the same was signed by Commissioner
Heck. The contempt proceedings
were then dismissed.

CLAIMS WATER RATES TOO HIGH
Contract of 1893 Having Expired
the City Puts UP the
Price.

The Tri-City Electric Sprinkler COM
pany is not doing business in Rock ISL
and at present, and the streets are dry
and dusty. Tuesday the city authori-
ties notified the company that its en-
ployes would be arrested il found TAX
ing water from the mains, and the po-
lice were given orders to keep strict
watch. Though a sprinkler has been
on the streets since the notice was
given, no water has been used. The
cause of the trouble is the refusal of
the company to pay the water rates
charged by the city.
+ II. Guyer, secretary of the Tri-City
Electric Sprinkler company, when seen
by an ARGUS reporter this morning.
stated that the rate demanded makes
further operations on the part of the
company n losing business. He said
that the contract with the city under
which water had been furnished for
several years. had expired, but no
change in rates had been made and il
therefore held by mutual consent.
This being the case, he considered the
action of the city unfair in arbitrarily
changing the rates in the middle of
the season.
City Clerk Schaffer when seen said
that the contract expired in 1898, and
though the old rates had been allowed
TO remain IN force. the city hal done
nothing to forfeit it's right to demand
a change when it saw fit.
Old aud New Rates.
Further, Mr.. Schaffer stated that
the old rate, of $500 a year, was
changed early in the season. and a
new one of $500 has been in effect all
summer. one of four payments of
1925 having been made by the sprink-
Ter company in June. Another should
have been made before July 10, and
as it was not, and the company de-
clared it would not pay the rate. the
water supply was refused Tuesday.

Negro Crazy With Whiskey Killed
lBv The Associated Press.)

Hopkinsville, Ky, April ia dozen
enraged white men shot Morgan Boone,
colcred, to death on an excursion train
near Slaughtersville last night. Boone's
body was then thrown from the rapidly
moving train.
Boone and his companions in the second
class car had been drinking heavily.
AS the train approached Slaughtersiylle,
Boone started back through the coaches,
brandishing a revolver and threaten
ing instant death to any one attempt
ing to intercept him. A panic ensued
among the women and children.
One of the male eXcursionists was
about to rise from his seat when he
was felled with a coupling pin which
Boone carried.
AS the wounded mans cry rang
through the train a dozen white men
rushed after the negro, who took ref
uge in the smoker. He was given no
quarter and fell mortally wounded at the
first volley. His body was dragged to
the platform and thrown off in the brush
beside the track.
