THE WRONG INDIVIDUAL

John Doyle was bound over to the
grand jury in the sum of 800 by Mag
istrate Johnson this morning on a
charge of larceny preferred by Frank
Schieberl, who conducts the saloon at
the corner of Fourth avenue and
Eighteenth street. Doyle was accused
of taking So bill from the pocket of
SChieberl while the latter was asleep
in the chair behind the bar. The bill
was marked and a little later Doyle
stepped To the bar and ordered drinks
for all present.
Schieberl at once recognized the bill
as one he had had i'm his pocket He
had the man arrested and taken to
the station. This morning Doyle stat
ed that he found the bill lying before
him on a table in the back room. but
his account, in all essential particu-
lars. was so loose that the Justice
bound him over.
Pat Moran was given a hearing be
fore Police Magistrate Johnson this
morning on a charge of vagrancy. the
court finding him guilty and sentenc-
ing him to 10 days in the county Jail.
The offender had been working near
Washington. Iowa, on one of Flick &
JohnSOn's contracts. and came to the
tri-cities Saturday with Sis to cele-
brate the Fourth. BY yesterday all
his money was gone and Moran went
to begging. only to fall into the hands
of Officer Brinn.
Philip Nachbaum, a patient at the
Watertown hospital, made his escape
from that institution Saturday. The
local police were given good des-
cription of him and during the even
ing he was located by Officer Herricll

River RiDleta.

There was trouble on the steamer
Cowles last week, but the real cause
of it has not been made clear. The
boat was going up the river near Du-
buque and it appears that several of
the men employed as roustabouts got
into dispute with the mate. who fl
nally paid them off and ordered them
to leave the boat. They did not com
ply with the order. although it was
repeated several times, and the mate
then drew his revolver and discharged
lieved that he fired directly at them.
They then left the boat and went to
Dubuque afoot.
The new steamer st. Paul of the
Diamond 10 line is expected down the
river a few days hence. She has been
promised to leave the Dubuque ways
about July Is. She has been rebuilt,
made longer and wider. and in other
ways improved, to the notion of her
owners. She has always been a pop
ular boat. and will probably have her
share of the traffic when she gets
into the trade this summer, if the
water does not fall so that she will
need casters on her hull to get
through.
The Winona and Dubuque were

DASHED TO DEATH
Theodore 8ergquist, of This
City, Victim of Accident
Saturday.
ATTEMPTED DIVE AT GRAND ISLE
Insecure Footing Led to Fall
Upon Edge ola
Barge.

a terrible tragedy was enacted
in full view of several hundred people
at Grand Isle Saturday afternoon, the
victim being Theodore Bergquist, tele-
phone lineman in the employ of the
Union Electric Telephone q Tele-
graph company in this city. He was
instantly killed in attempting to dive
from a tall ladder into the river in
front of the landing at the island.
The high dive had been advertised
as one of the main attractions of the
afternoon and shortly after o'clock
when the event was scheduled to take
place, nearly everyone on the island
was on hand TO see the feat perform
eR A ladder about forty feet in height
and been set up in the middle of the
barge and from this Bergquist. who
had had some experience in similar
undertakings, essayed to leap. The
ladder was set we'll back from the
edge of the barge and it was unsta-
bic, not being properly braced.
Saw His Danger.
When Bergquist climbed to the top
and prepared to leap,he tried his foot
ing and evidently doubted his ability
to clear the barge, for he hesitated.
Finally, however. he made the plunge
The instant he did so it was feared he
knew he had failed. As he dropped
rapidly through space he was seen to
kick and struggle violently in the at
tempt to carry over the side, but all
in vain. His shoulders struck the cor
ner of the barge and his head hit the
side with terrific force. In another
instant he was rolled into the water
and sank.
Body Recovered.
Efforts to get him out were made
at once, but it was probably 10 min
utcs before he was brought 10 the
surface. and by that time he was
dead. 1t is supposed that the fall
would have proved fatal even had he
been kept out of the river. Efforts to
were made to resuScitate him but not
sign of life rewarded the efforts of
those working over the body.
The saddest part of the accident
lay in the fact that the wife
of the unfortunate young man
stood on the bank witness of il.
When he fell her screams were pitful,
and the horror of those few moments
will never be forgotten by those who
were present.
Burial at Peoria,
The body was taken in charge by
Undertaken Boics. of Davenport. and
the inquest was held at Q o'clock yes
terGay morning at his rooms. \ YER
diet of accidental death was returned
and no blame was attached to the
island management. This morning.
escorted by the members of the line
mems union, the remains were
brought to Rock Island and shipped
on the $40 train to Peoria. in which
city the funeral Will he held. The de
ceasd was 20 years old anG had been
employed by both telephone com
panies. working last for the Union
Electric company. He is survived by
his parents at Peoria and by his wife.

 Dr. Thomassan was born in south Carolina eighty-four years ago and came b Arkansas some time in the 6fties. He was an honor graduate of the Medical De- partment of the University of Philadelphia and since graduating had praeticed continuously. In TS5S he was married to Miss Chilonas Bell at Monticello, Ark.
 During the great war he gave his services to the Southland, and grieved at the impotency of her efforts. Since the end came and the cycle of time has come and many times, his work has been in the interest of his fellow man.
