MATE OF THE QUINCY
EVApEs CLINTON OFFICERS

When the Diamond 10 steamer
Quincy left up the river yesterday aft
ternoon after the shooting of Ben
Griffith, the deckhand, by the first
mate, Coran Niece, "A warrant was
being sworn out for the first mate,
who had not been located when the
officers searched the boat. The Gin
ton officers were telephoned to, and
when the boat reached that place late
in the afternoon Sheriff Moran went
aboard and endeavored to place the
mate under arrest.
Though that individual had been
seen ON the boat only 10 minutes be-
fore a landing was made, the officer
could not find him, and it is believed
that he secreted himself i'll the hull
of the boat. 1t is not likely that any
further attempt will be made to APP
prehend him till the boat returns from
the north Second Mate Collins, who
was held in Davenport for disorderly
conduct. was released, as there was
not sufficient evidence to hold him.
and he reached Clinton by rail in time
to meet the boat. The negro who
was shot was placed on board the
Helen Blair to return to his home in
ST. Louis.

WRITER OF NEW BOOK
ATTACKS BLACK HAWK

There has been Il new book placed
before the public that skaters
good many ideals of the people in this
vicinity. 1t is a history of Black
Hawk, the Indian chief, about whom
so much romantic history in the tri-
cities centers.
This book, and the author processes
to have made the most careful and eX-
haustive study of the subject of any,
declares that Black Hawk was a self
seeking, cruel and evil chieftain. 1t
declares that he had none of the char
acteristics of a great leader and that
whatever he did was actUated solely
by his own selfishness. Ii says that
he never had an ambition to help his
people, that what he did was 10 try
to forward his own desires and wei
fare at the expense often of his tribe.
In distinction the author holds up
Logan, KeoI<uk and Tecumseh as
chiefs who were broad-minded and de
serving of honor. He says Black Hawk
was not. Instead of seeing the in
evitable result of the coming of the
whites, as did the others, Black IIaW k
in no way was equal to the issues
which presented themselves to his
people and he fought against the
changing conditions without reaIiz-
ing how he might have won greater
consideration and peace for his peo-
pie.
lie is charged with being made a
great chief by subsequent history and
romantic notoriety and not by any
thing that he did in his life TO deserve
such honor.
Since the publication of this work
number of old settlers have entered
a vigorous denial of the charges
against the chief. claiming the oppO-
! site to be true of him.

River forecast for As hours ending 8
a. m, Thursday. Aug. 6, 1903: Only
slight changes will occur in the Mis-
sissippi between Dubuque and Daven-
port.
An opportunity was given yesterday
to test the relative speed of the Helen
Blair and tire Diamond 10 steamer
Quincy, the two boats running to the
city from Buffalo less than quarter
of mile apart. OF course there was
no racing about it, but the passengers
were much interested and the officers
of the boats are suspected of having
narrowly escaped getting into the
spirit of the thing. The Helen Blair
held her own and even drew away
from the big steamer for portion of
the distance.

HEISENBUTTEL INSANE?
Jury to Decide-DoctOrs Tell Of
Laundry Mans HdlIucindtionS.

Justice Sewell, in the Supreme Court. Brook
Ign. yesterday. granted an application for
sheriff's jury to inquire into the sanity Of Will
lam f. Heissenbuttel, brother Of the late Henry
D. Heissenbuttel, the coal merchant. The appI-
cation was made by Mr.. HeissenbuttePs sister,
Mrs. Mary A. Ernst. of No. 31S Park Place.
Brooklyn.
In the application it is stated that the only
heirs of Mr.. Heissenbuttel are Louis o. Heissen-
buttel Harold d. Heisenbuttel and Meta O.
Heissenbuttel, who live with their mother, the
widow of Henry D. Heissenbuttel, at No. 229
Berkeley Place. 1t is further stated that Mr..
Heissenbuttei owns laundry in Twelfth-st,
Brooklyn with q branch at No. 300 Court-st.
He also owns some real estate at Coney Island

Mr. Heissenbuttel is at present confined In

mitted by Justice Adams on July 10, 1905. An
affidavit from DR.. a r. Burrell states that the
patient has Authorizations which take the form
Of anticipatory punishment for his sins. These
punishments take various phases. such as cruel
hxion, burning lakes and lakes OF snakes. These
Authorizations have so weakened him that IL
