his captains with the purpose of break

idea what should be done with them.
He did not think that sending them TO
jail was sufficient, but wanted the city
to establish a work-house for them. He
wanted to put them to washing and IRON

they could do, and get them out OF the

Mrs. Mary Bullock of POwhatan coun-
ty, a respected elderly lady Of means,
has ideas of her own and she does not
hesitate to carry them into execution.

this is not nearly all. She has had punt
a sail boat. and uses 1t daily Tor a rae

AledO, Dec. 9.-Through the wall of
reserve with which iona Dunlap has
surrounded herself ever since she was
accused of causing the death of Allie
Dool by giving her poisoned choco-
late candy a wave of emotion broke
yesterday afternoon while Attorney
Guy c. Scott was making the opening
address for the state.
As the lawyer reiterated the charg-
es in the Indictment, specifying that
the prisoner was criminally RESPONSE
BILE for the death of the young wo-
man, Miss Dunlap's eyes filled with
tears and sobs shook her frame while
she leaned against the shoulder of
her mother. 1t was. the first time
that Miss Dunlap had manifested any
feeling in public, and the crowd that
filled the court room marveled.
Sentiment has been strong against
the defendant in this town, partly on
account of the Indifference which
she has displayed at all times when
under the gaze of her former friends.
They believed her heartless, and this
belief strengthened the hostility
against her.

Attorney ThomasOn had delivered the
opening address for the defense, that
revulsion of feeling would come be-
fore the trial was over. He went in
to the full story. giving it in another
light than that in which it was pre-
sented by the special counsel for the
state. Things which had been cited
as strong evidence of guilt were eX-
planned away in a plausible manner.
and the reasonable doubt which Miss
Dunlap's lawyers hope to raise in the
minds of the jury was created GER
tainly in the minds of a large portion
of those who heard him.

States Attorney Holds Village
Has First Claim on Rock
River Bridges
AFTER ABANDONED BY THE CITY
Rock Island Need Have No Fear of
Legal Conse-
quences.

States Attorney II. A. Weld has
made something of a study of the
Milan bridge problem from the stand
point of the county and he is of the
"opinion that the ownership of those
troublesome structures, if they should
be abandoned by the city, would re-
vert to the village of Milan and not
the townships of Black Hawk and
of course. have an interest in the
north bridge, according to Mr.. Yields
view of the matter, but the others,
being wholly within the limits Of Mi
Ian, would fall upon that corpora
ton.
The states attorney is of the opin-
ion. also. that the city need have no
fear of the legal consequences involv-
ed in the act of abandonment, for he
considers that n comparatively sim
pie matter. The council need only
pass an ordinance yacating the prop
erty and then serve notice of the act
upon the political divisions interest
ed and the thing would be done.
In support of the contention that
the village would succeed to the own
ership OF the bridges if they were
abandoned or might by process of
law gain possession of them if it so
desired, Mr.. Weld cites a case that
developed in Chicago, where plank
road was owned and operated by a
company for Il number of years. In
time the company disbanded and the
ownership was left in the hands of
one man. He continued to collect
tolls till the city of Chicago COM
pletely swallowed his road and at
tempted to oust him from his time
bonored rights. \ suit followed and
the city won. the court holding that
the natural growth of the city virtu-
ally eliminated the occasion for the
existence of the toll road and that it
had become in the process n public
highway.
No Special Privileges to City.
While the analogy between the two
cases is not complete. the fact re-
mains that the village of Milan was
incorporated under n special charter
and again under the general law.
both taking place after the city of
Rock Island had purchased the
bridges. and in neither case was there
any exception made in defining the
village boundaries excluding the road
or giving this city any special priv
ileges of ownership.
Therefore Mr.. Weld maintains that
if the village on the Hennepin in the
suits that have been instituted to
test the question of ownership sue
ceeds in jarring loose whatever title
may still be vested in Rock Island,
Milan may awake some fine morning
to find the whole package spilled at
her doorstep.
Club to Discuss Questio
The Rock Island Club will hold its
regular meeting this evening and the
committee appointed to investigate
the Milan bridge question will make
report that will probably attract
considerable interest.
