Swan Anderson Dea q

Swan Anderson, of Presumption.
aged 30 years, died yesterday at
Mercy hospital, Davenport, of
cerebral hemorrhage. Anderson was
taken TO the hospital week ago, suf-
fering from almost total blindness.
The surgeons who saw him and who
had seen few such cases, though
they are quite rare, realized that he
was suffering from peculiar milan
nation of the ends of the nerves due
to pressure on his brain. He was put
on tentative treatment in the hospital,
with little prospect that his sight or
life could be saved even by an oper-
alton. Monday he showed the pain
and rapid decline that indicated
another hemorrhage, and death was
not long in relieving him. Anderson
was single and had no relatives in
America. He was born in Sweden.

UNIFORM EQUIPMENT
FOR BREWING COMPANY

The Rock Island Brewing company
has decided to reduce it's teams and
wagons to uniformity in color, and
to that end will purchase nothing but
gray horses hereafter and all delivery
wagons will be painted olive green
and yellow. The company has up
wards of 20 horses here, only few of
which are of the desired color. As
fast as the dark and bay animals on
hand now can be disposed of to ad-
vantage, grays are TO be substituted.
Not only here, but in other cities
where horses are kept, the company
will maintain its regard for it's chosen
colors.
While with the Rock Island Brew
ing company the adoption of gray
horses may be but a fad, the fact re-
mains that gray horses are growing
rapidly in popularity. Not many
wears ago it would have been an i'm
as many good horses of that color as
the company requires. Now there are
more grays than any other one color
and the majority of we'll matched
heavy draft teams used hereabout are
of that color.
The growing favor of the gray
equines is not so much due to the
color as to the breed. Most grays
raised near here take their color from
Norman parentage, and Norman
horses, besides being easily matched,
possess in the highest degree those
qualities necessary to the heavy draft
horse. Being more readily marketa-
BILE. they are raised by farmers in
preference to lighter breeds which
would be better adapted to the farm.
Gray horses are objected to on &C
count of the readiness with which they
show dirt and the tendency of old an
imals to fade into an ugly white. But,
on the other hand, it is claimed for
them that they will endure more heat
than others, and this quality goes far
toward making up for all shortcom-
iEgs in appearances.

Local officials of the Burlington

all departments of the depot, aside
from having four instruments at

The interior furnishings will be in

licks with the management of the
road in order that nothing be over

Thomas Williams, the colored night

mutual thankfulness in the former
poor craftsmanship with a revolver.
About 10 o'clock last night Will

clinched and were scutlling about
when Mielke appeared on the scene
and interfered. Whether the inter-
ference was actuated by desire for
peace or disposition to help Whit

Williams says Mtelke was advanc-

he wasn't. However, the colored man
pulled his gun and blazed away at

was hurt until he had called the
