BACK TO OLD HAUNTS
Daughter of Well Known Moline
Family Figures in Police
Circles.
FOUND IN A ROCK ISLAND RESORT
Under Pain of Imprisonment She
Refurns With Mother, But
Runs Away Again.

A Moline woman of culture and
refinement of manner and her college
bred l9-year-old daughter gave Night
Capt. Barney McCabe q couple of
hours work of q rather unusual char
acter Thursday night. About 1880
p m. the Office was asked by telephone
to meet the mother at a spe Gifted place
up town. When the former filed the
appointment he was told that the
woman's daughter was in a certain
resort in this city and aid was ask ed
to take her home.
The daughter was found at the place
the mother I'd indicated, but refuse d
to accompany the latter home. She
was then taken to the station, where
the two women discussed domes ic
affairs for half an hour. laying deeds
at each others door that the night
captain shudders TO repeat. Finally,
since the mothers efforts to induce
the daughter to return home were
unavailing, the officer resorted to q
game of bluff, and under the threat of
Imprisonment the girl consented to
be placed with her mother on Moline
car. declaring, however. that she
wouldn't stay at home.
Last night the Rock Island officers
were apprised that the young
woman had left home again and was
probably some place in the city. as
the girl was OLD enough to be her own
master and the mother did not desire
to prosecute by the only course open
to her, there was nothing to do but
allow the runaway her own sweet
will.

LONG JOURNEY FOR DOG:
OKLAHOMA TO MUSCATlNE

Half starved and with feet badly
swollen and eyes sunk deeply in its
head from privations endured during
long and wearisome journey, large
Newfoundland dog belonging to q.
w. FRANKLIN, of Muscatine, arrived
home the other day from Ell Reno, o.
L having made the entire Journey
from that city afoot.
Arriving at his masters doorstep,
the faithful animal collapsed, and
would have died of fatigue but for the
immediate use of restoratives. His
long nails had been worn almost en-
tirely off in mis- run for nome. and all
four feet were swollen three times
their usual size. In spite of his ia
tigue. the dog is already recovering
his former health and spirits
Knowing his qualities as watch
dog. Mr.. FraDklin loaned him to a
brother, Melvin Franklin. who, with
his family was about TO start for Ell
Reno in the race for the Oklahoma
land. The party left Muscatioe day
Is and arrived in Fl Reno three weeks
ago. A letter to friends in Muscatine
upon their arrival stated that the dog
was still with the company and had
proven a valua BILE aid in watching the
wagons on the trip westward.
No further information was received
until the other morning when the
dogs arrival gave evidence that it
preferred a comfortable home in Iowa
to the wild life of the land lottery dis
trict.
Mr.. Franklin resided at Isl Boone
street when the dog was taken away.
but during its absence moved 10 the
house adjoining the old residence
The dog naturally passed by the new
home upon its return and went to the
old house and knocked violently on
the front door with it's paw. Mrs.
