Wounded in the Fight.
Hummer. being much the better swords

round. He himself was unhurt.
Cokovac's wounds. two in the breast and
one in the forearm. were exceedingly dan
gerous. and led to the discovery Of the
duel.
He was placed under arrest by the author
tiles while still on his sickbed. but refused
to reveal the name Of the man who had
wounded him..
Another student was arrested and placed
in custody. He pleaded innocence. but
could not prove an alibi. Hummer. who
knew nothing of the discovery Of the duel.
meanwhile walked unmolested about Vienna.
Finally the student in the city jail de-
cided to throw himself on the mercy Of the

was SO dangerously wounded. he had on

honor of his own.
The outcome Of his duel was not as seri-
Gus as that Of Hummer. and he was placed
under bail and will have to stand trial after
the Cokovac-Kummer case 10 settled.
The authorities finally found the right
man and arrested him. preferring . charge
of granddaughter against him. The trial Is
now in progress. and. a. the law Il very

pretended several times for . similar Of

STREET CARS INTERFERE
WITH MEMORIAL PARADE

Several of the marshals and others
participating in yesterdays memorial
parade have expressed Indignation at
the interference on the part of street
cars with the progress of the process
sion, the source of the greatest COM
plant occurring between Seven
teenth and Eighteenth streets on
Second avenue. The crews of some
of the cars were possessed of n
sufficient sense of propriety to
halt while the solumn was pass
log and 1t is strange that some
rules we're not prescribed such as
would have insu ed similar obser-
vance on the part of those in charge
of all the cars. In Davenport they
have among other things governing
the relation of the company to the
city requirement that the cars be
NOT permitted to interfere with any
procession, and the need of sim lac
provisions here has been suggested on
the occasion of former parades. On
such u day as yesterday it would have
been particularly desirable.

MILWAUKEE INIT:
THE MUScATINE M g. P

The Burlington Hawkeye throws an
interesting light on some of the re-
cent railroad developments in this vi
cinity. as follows:
"V. a. Rossbacb, travelling passen
ger agent of the Chicago. Milwaukee
& st. Paul road, was in Burlington
yesterday, interviewing the business
men as to freight business. In view
Of the repeated rumors that the Mil
waukee was interested in the new
north and south extension into Bur-
lingtou, Mr.. Roosb tch's visit to Bur-
Hngton is considered significant
When asked the intentions of the Mil
waukee in the matter. MIR Rossbach
answered vaguely. saying he knew
nothing about the rumor that his
road was back of the new enterprise
When asked why he was looking up
freight business here he smiled sig
nificantly and said his road wa
reaching out in all directions for bus
mess nov.
1t is believed that Mr. Rossbach's
visit to Burlington was a preliminary
move TO determine the value of this
city as shipping point. 1t is one OF
the strongest indie atoms yet devel-
oped that the Milwaukee is really
coming into Burlington.
During his conversation Mr.. Ross
back produced pocket folder of the
Mil waukee road, and turning 20 a
map drew line showing the new ex-
tension being built in Iowa 1t runs

said he was satisfied his road was
