William Turk was arrested by Off
Ger Shandley Sunday night on Il
charge sworn out by John j. ManniX.
ManniN stated that he was at the
show and that he was passing Fourth
street when a brick was SHE'D at him
from an alley and that he got the full
force of the blow in the face. Man
niX's face tells a more eloquent story
than words and the injured member
is now swathed up in cotton and ban
daoes. Turk claims however, that he
was not the man and that ManniX
i mistaken in the person. The latter
is just as positive that he is right
and the case has been continued in
order that more witnesses may be Sc
cured.

The last will and testament of Marie
Coos, the aged lady who died Il few
days ago and who was so we'll known
and so well beloved in Davenport. has
been placed on record. The will was
written out by friend of the aged
lady and was then translated to her
in German so that she could TESTIFY
to her wishes and the will states that
she knows the contents and that it
meets with her pleasure. The will
states that the homestead was left to
Mrs. George Coos in trust by her hus-
band but that she has improved it
and made it much more valuable. She
therefore gives TO great grandson
Raymond Garstang $500 and the re-
mainder of the estate to Emma Gar
stang. The will states that the latter
is done in appreciation of the long
years of service. -
