SHE is GUILTY
BUT IS INSANE
Mrs. Josephine HiIger Ordered
Committed to the Chester
Penitentiary.
MURDER TRIAL ENDS AT CAMBRIDGE
Defendant Breaks Down on Hear
ing Verdict-The Story of
the Crime.
MURDER TRIAL ENDS AT CAMBRIDGE

The jury in the trial at Cam bridge
of Mrs. Josephine Hilger for the MUIR
der of her husband Oct. %, 1900. yes
terday afternoon returned a verdict
to the effect that the defendant COM
mitted the act charged in the indict-
Ment, but that she was insane at the
time and had not yet fully recovered.
Mrs. Hilger, upon hearing the yer.
dict, broke down and buried her face
in her handkerchief.
The jury was out from Wednesday
night until 1 o'clock Yesterday after
noon. Today she was sentenced to
the Chester penitentiary for insane
criminals. Her friends and the attor-
neys for the defense are we'll pleased
with the outcome of the long trial.
Shot While Asleep.
The murder of William Hilger was
cold-blooded and apparently de-
liberate crime. his wife creeping upon
him while he lay asleep on sofa at
their home in Hooppole, and firing
two bullets into his body. He died
the following day. His ante-mortem
statement was that his wife had
killed him to recover the insurance on
his life.
Mrs. Hilger later confessed the
crime to the coroner. Her friends be-
lieved that she was insane when she
committed the murder and started
raising funds with which to conduct
her defense. The trial commenced
before Judge Gest March IL. One
hundred witnesses were examined.
There were witnesses from seven
states on hand to show the prevalence
of insanity in the Hilger family for
four generations.
Mrs. Hilger was defended by c. j.
Searle, of this city and Il. +. Ander-
son, of Galva. The trial was an ex-
pensive one. the securing of the jury
alone costing, it is said, $1,000.

RECORDS OF THE CANDIDATES:
NOMINEES OF DEMOCRACY

II is rarely that either of the lead
ing political parties has gone before
the voters of Rock Island with as clean
and capable list of aldermanic candi-
dates as has the democracy this
spring. The records of the nomi-
nees show them to be men of
industry and intelligence. a type
representative of that progressive
ness that causes cities to forge to
the front, and the voters undoubtedly
will gladly embrace the opportunity
of sending them to the municipal as
sembly to represent them.
Thomas w. Byrnes, the candidate
in the First, has been resident of the
ward for Is years. He was born in
this city in 1865. was educated in the
public schools. and for the past 20
years has been an employe of tn
Rock Island Plow company. serving an
apprenticeship in the coremaking de-
partment, of which he has been fore
man since 1886. He has family and
is property holder in his ward.
Since he was old enough to vote he
has been an active worker in the DEM
ocratic ranks. having served on both
the city and county committees and
as ward committeeman. He is a
Modern Woodman and q charter men,
Der of the Tri-City Theatrical union,
having been for number of years a
stage carpenter at Harper's theatre.
Mr.. Byrnes, although repeatedly
urged by his friends to become can
didate for alderman, has never con-
sented until now to make the race,
and his friends, who are legion in the
ward. say they will give him the
largest majority that has ever been
rolled up for an aldermanic nominee
in the ward.
Charles Heidemann, the candidate
in the Second ward, gave such a
splendid accounting of himself in the
council the past two years that his
party caucus manifested it's appreci-
alton of him by renominating him by
reclamation this spring. Mr.. Heide-
mann is a native of Rock Island, and
was born in 1861. When boy he
learned the carpentering trade, and
ID years ago formed a partnership
with Fred Schroeder, under the firm
name of Heidemann & Schroeder. 1t
is one of the leading building firms of
the city. Mr.. Heidemann is a pro-
perty owner in the Second ward and
has handsome home on Ninth
avenue.
The nominee in the Third ward, p.
J. Lee. came to Rock Island from
Cleveland, Ohio. with his parents in
1854. After graduating from the
city schools he took up painting and
decorating, which he has followed up
to the present day, being a well
known painting contractor. MIR. Lee
was elected township collector in
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1901-03-29

1897. His home is on Fourteenth
and-a- half street. He is man of
sterling qualities and is fully equipped
for the duties of the Office he seeks,
and to which he will be elected with
cut doubt.
Valentine Dauber, candidate in the
Fourth ward. is native of Bavaria.
He came to America when IA years of
age, and after a short residence in the
south came to Rock Island in 1857,
and has been here since. At the out
break of the war he enlisted with the
union forces and served in the army
till 1865 His first vote was cast in
the Fourth ward, where his home and
business are located. having for many
years conducted a blacksmith shop.
Mr.. Dauber has had experience as a
member of the city council and
showed himself possessed OF those
qualities that make good alderman
The people of the Fourth ward want
to see him there again.
Thomas A. Fender, the nominee in
the Fifth ward, has, since 1881, with
the exception of four years in the
grocery business, been an employe of
the Chicago, Rock Island q Pacific
Railway company, which he has
served in various capacities. For the
past several years he has occupied the
important position of yardmaster for
the company in Moline. Mr.. Fender
was born in the Fifth ward, and in
the same house in which he now lives,
on Twenty-first street. He has been
in the city council three consecutive
terms and in that time has made a
record that he can well feel proud OF
and which has won him the admir-
alton of the people of the ward, ire
spective of politics.
John F. Dindinger, the Sixth wards
candidate, is proprietor of job
printing establishment on Second
avenue. He is one of the pioneers in
the printing business in Rock Island
isa we'll informed and capable bust
ness man, and has wide acquaintance
in his ward and throughout the city.
He is the right kind of a man to cred
itably represent the ward in the
council. He has family and lives
on Seventh avenue.
George Wagner, Jr., was born in
the ward-the Seventh-whose voters
he asks to send him to the council as
their representative. He is a son of
George Wagner, pioneer of the city,
and occupies home adjoining that of
his father on Fifth avenue. George,
Jr., with the exception of five years.
has spent all his life in Rock Island.
He recently EN- barked in the real es-
tate and insurance business, in which
he is making fine success. He is
popular with the people of the Seventh
ward, who have known him from birth.

SCORE IN COURT
Carl Ward Returns to City After
Two Years to Find War
rant Against Him.
B0NDSM8N THE COMPLAINANT
Defendant Pays Over the $50
involved and Proceeding is
Dismissed.
BoNDsMAN THE COMPLAINANT

M. A. Gould, of Moline, two years
ago swore out warrant before Police
Magis trate John L. Stafford, of this
city, for the [arrest of Carl Ward, a
well known travelling salesman on a
charge of obtaining a signature to a
bond on false pretenses. At that
time Mr.. Ward, who is brother of
h Ward, proprietor of the Windsor
hotel, in Moline. was on the road as
the representative of John A. Tolman
& Co., of Chicago.
In securing the position with the
Chicago firm, Mr.. Ward was required
to furnish bond of So 600. He gave
as sureties NJ. A. Gould, of Moline,
and George Newton, of Port Byron.
Taken HI on Road.
During one of his trips Ward was
taken ill and sent in his resignation
to his employers. He owed the house
$50, but was not able to make imme-
date settlement, and the firm held his
bondsmen liable for the amount,
which they paid on the presentation
of a statement.
Then it was that Mr.. Gould, sus-
pecting fraud had been practiced
upon him. swore warrant for Wards
arrest. The latter in the meantime
had recovered from his sickness and
gone east and secured employment in
a wholesale house.
Yesterday was his first visit to
Rock Island in two years. He came
as the representative of "a New York
house. He was arrested last night
by Night Capt. w. A. Giles.
This morning there was a meeting
at police headquarters between Ward
and Messrs. Gould and Newton. Ex-
plantations were made all around,
Ward paid the $50 that his bondsmen
were held to account for, and the pro-
ceeding was dismissed, there having
been no ground for criminal action
against Ward.

TIME IS HERE
To Be STIRRING
Rock Island Should Get on the
Move if 1t Would Hold
Its Own.
Is LOSING VANTAGE GROUND
In View of Railroad Develop.
ments 1t Must Hustle for
Factories.
S LOSING VANTAGE GR0U,

If half the rumors that have been
afloat the past few weeks anent rail-
road deals and their effect on Rock
Island were to be verified by the
course of events to follow, this city
would come out at the slim end of the
horn. Indeed, nothing has transPired
so far in local railroad circles for the
public to enthuse over, and while the
advantages that are promised to Mo-
line and to Davenport by reason of
the latest developments should occa-
sion no ill-will toward either of those
cities on the part of Rock Island, yet
they will serve to awaken in this city
that right here in Rock Island is
where the spirit of Rock Island be-
longs. Other cities are looking out
for themselves-natu so, and
while we have a fondness for tri-city
unity, that is very commendable
as sentiment, it is doing that
counts. We need not necessarily dis
play an armored front toward our
neighbors, or anything but good will,
but we should take it upon ourselves
to avoid becoming a mere annex to
either.
May Easily Lead.
Rock Island with proper effort may
easily become the leading city of the
three, but it will be. the smallest of
the three if it contents itself with
taking things as they come. What is
needed here is a revival of the old
time hustle. The advantages of this
city commercially, industrially, and
as far as transportation advantages
are concerned, are within the keep
| ing of the people here. Let our
people avail themselves of the OPP
portunities that are theirs. If things
are taken hold of in the right way,
the railroad situation as it pertains
to movements of the Rock Island
road, may be turned to the city's
advantage. 1t is not yet half so seri-
Gus as it promises to be, and well di-
rected effort may bring about
the concentration of interests
here such as THE ARGUS re-
ferred to few days ago. Bnt if the
people are Indifferent to what is going
on, they cannot blame neighboring
cities for improving to the fullest ex-
tent all the opportunities that may
develop in their favor.
Boom In Factory Sites.
AS consequence of the latest de-
velopments in the railroads here,
Moline and Davenport are both boom
ing their factory sites. East Moline
is working harder than ever and Dav-
export is about to divert large tracts
of land to the same uses. Rock Island
has better factory location in the
west end of town than either. Recent
happenings should have the tendency
to strengthen the movement already
on foot to develop it.
Rock Island should guard its own
| int 3rests.

After six successive defeats by various
teams Gibraltar was the victor in the

last Wednesday night between the teams
Of the W ishington Light Infantry and the

Gibraltar showed considerable improve

contests. The players also excelled in the
passing game ard We're able to connect

Potomac's weakness was. as usual, In the

Despite the fact that the play was not
rough. there We're number of minor vio-
lations of the rules for which the ff-nd-

From the start of play the Gibraltar's
superiority was apparent. The play RS
