DAVENPORT GARBAGE
TEAM LOST IN RIVER

y team used in hauling garbage to
the city dump located just above the
Rock Island bridge in Davenport last
evening was driven too far out on the
bank that the warm weather had
softened. The result was that the
edge of the bank, with the team and
cart, slid off into the river. The wa
ter was very deep and the outfit was
quickly drawn out of sight beneath
the ice and lost. The driver escaped.
