COPPERHEAD IN CAMP
Member of Party Having Outing
Near LinWood Struck
by:ReptiIe.
FRIEND SUCKS THE POISON AWAY
Dangerous Snakes Said to be
Unusually Common Along the
River This Season.

There have been a large number of
snake bites along the river this sum-
mer, campers being the ones who
have suffered in the greatest number
of instances. Whether the season
has had anything to do with it or not
is not known, but genomous reptiles
appear to be more numerous than in
recent seasons.
The latest case of the kind occurred
yesterday on the other side of the
river. A party of young men were
encamped near Linwood, four miles
below Davenport, and one of them, in
passing through the weeds on the
river bank yesterday morning, was
struck by copperhead, a snake that
is exceedingly rare in these parts.
Heroic Treatment
A member of the party, as soon as
the wound could be barred, sucked the
blood from it while others gave the
wounded man all the whisky the par
ty had. The treatment was success
full and the patient in the evening was
considered out of danger.

Waterman On Raft witnesses Enactment
of = Tragedy.
According to the story of watch
man on raft anchored on a bar
10 the vicinity there was q trag-
edy enacted off Credit island last
evening. The details of the affair are
very meagre and little or nothing can
be learned about the persons imPii-
Gated.
Just about dusk, so the story
goes, two men and three women,
who were taking a skiff ride, were
met by three men also in boat,
south of the upper end of the island.
There was some trouble between the
occupants of the two boats, and the
three men, it is said, were successful
in getting the women into their boat.
One of the two men in the first
boat, so il is further related, at
tempted to get into the secood one,
but one of the three men struck him
on the head with an oar and threw
him overheard. The Waterman who
had witnessed the scene, communi-
Gated with the Davenport police, who
are now working on the case.

GOLFERS LAST DAYS
FILLED WITH SADNESS

The press dispatches on another
page tell of the death at Chicago of
Frank Howard Collier, the eccentric
attorney, many of whose escapades in
the past two years were in Rock ISL
and and Moline.
The Chicago Tribune of this morn
ing, after picturing the desolation
that mad taken the place of luxury in
the home of Frank Collier at CPS Jack
son boulevard, says: lin this wreck
of home Frank Collier had since
February spent his days and nights
in long spell of melancholia. He
left it only on occasion to get food.
Over on Ogden avenue was tiny res
taurant, whittier he went when he cared
to eat-sometimes once a day, some
times twice or thrice a week. So sell
dom did he 90 and so well did he hide
his movements that neighbors had
not seen him leave the house. For
six months he had lived alone night
and day, refusing himself to all his
friends. At night, unable to sleep,
he had reclined on couch and read
over and over the works of Scott and
Dickens until he knew them by heart.
His law books he read until he was
tired of them, and he had turned
often to the encyclopedia for recrea-
tion. His general health, which he
had retained in spite of his mental
malady, remained good most of this
time and his eyes, with wonderful
strength, bore the great strain put
upon them. Until two weeks ago he
lived in this way without attracting
attention. Then he failed to come
for his occasional meals and the res
taursnt keeper sent to look him up.
He faund the attorney suffering from
paralysis, sitting helpless in the mid
die of the door, where he had been
stricken down, unable to move to his
couch. DR.. Z. NJ. Brown, life long
friend of Collier, was notified and took
immediate charge of the case. For
two days he pleaded with his patient
to go to the hospital, and ordered a
patrol wagon in the middle of the
night and had him conveyed there.
" This is the last of the old man,
said MIR. Collier, I'm going there to
die
He was visited in the hospital by q
rev relatives anu friends but still
maintained his wish to be left to him
self. He died almost penniless, with
all of his property heavily incum-
bered.
IA cause of his desire to keep
away from everybody said DIR. |
Brown, who attended him, was his
shame for the deeds he committed |
when insane. He was told of so many
things he had said or done that he |
said to me often that he wanted to |
hide his face from the world. When |
he was sane he was remorseful.'
IAN attempt will be made by ply
sicians who studied the case of |
MIR. Collier to secure his brain for /
post-mortem examination. They wish
to determine, if possible, by micro
scopic examination, what effect may
have been caused by the blow to
which his insanity has been at
tributed."

James Cradle, and after few drinks
in Thierman's place on Eighteenth

journed to the alley in the rear of the
Owl saloon Edman was requested to
dig up the price of n can, which he
did. He was then invited to par
ticipate in a wrestling match, and
he says Shannon grabbed him
by the throat and pushed him up
against the barn. A few blows were
handed him, blackening his eve, and
while pinioned against the barn his
pockets were ransacked.
Arrest OF Suspects.
He was stunned by the blows. but
after recovering he reported the affair
to the police. Shannon and Cradle
were arrested and brought up before
Magistrate johnson this morning for
a hearing. A continuation until $50
this evening was granted and as they
couldn't furnish bail they were sent
TO Jail.
The police worked all night on the
case and a number of other suspects
were taken in. Among them were
Charles Gillespie and Annie Murray,
but as there was no evidence against
them they were released.
