AN OLD SOLDIER DIES.
John Swan Veteran eff the Regulars
 Passes Away at Sisters Hospital.

John Swan. an old soldier who for years had been d pensioncr upon Gov crnor BrOdie's bounty, died at the Sisters hospital at a late hour Monday night. The immediate cause of his death was a homorrhase from the chest, but an autopsy will be held to- day to determine the exact reason for the hcm0rrhage. The old veteran was admitted to the hospital last Friday having been brought down from the Crown Point mine in YaVapai county by direction of the governor. He was taken with asthma two weeks ago, ana his suffering becoming worse, he was drought to Phoenix under the idea that he would soon recover. and Dr. Duff field, who attended him. said last night that While the old man was very feeble he had not expected dissolution 50 soon, at any rate. The doctor said that in all probability it would be found that death resulted from an aneurism of the chest, but tcday's post mortem will disclose with certainty the origin of the hemorrhage.
 John Swan had an honorable record as a soldier. Nearly thirty years ago he was trooper in Lieutenant Brodie's command in the Yellowstone and when he wandered into Arizona threc years ago he hunted up his old commander. Col. Brodie gave him some potterinS employment around the Grown roint mine. at a salary which would give him a living. and the old soldier led q happy fife, raising chickens and doing light jobs.

POOR EXCUSE
Is That Advanced by Mayor Knox
in View of Grand Jury
Disclosures.
HIS PROMISES WE'RE DEFINITE
He Acknowledged Conditions and
Pledged Himself to Rectify
Them.

Mayor KnoX's explanation that he
repeatedly notified Chief Darnell to
rid the city of existing evils will hard
ly suffice. If Mayor Knox repeatedly
called the attention of the head of
his police department to the exist
ence of these things, it is an evidence
of their repeated existence and fur
Their evidence that the chief of police
was repeatedly disobeying the orders
of the mayor. In this case the nat
ural conclusion will be that the may
or ought to have taken steps to re-
move his chief for INSTRUMENTATION.
All of which goes to furnish another
proof, if any further is needed. of
the glaring incompetency of the pres
ent municipal head of the city.
When the people of Rock Island two
years ago elected Mr.. Knox mayor of
the city against reform ticket, it
was done upon his published declara-
ton at that time that he would in
stitute the reforms in the same man
ner as the opposition was pledged to
do.
Realized What He Undertook
As candidate Mr.. Knox stated
that he realized the condition that
the morals of the city had reached
and that he appreciated the tempta-
tions that were being thrown in the
way of the innocent to lure them
from the straight and narrow path
He promised definitely that if he were
elected he would see that such evils
as he admitted existed and which the
grand jury finds still exist, should be
placed under proper restraint. 1t
must now be perfectly clear to all
that either the mayor then believed
that the public did not want him to
do the things that he had promised
or that he has found himself woefullv
lacking in the necessary force to car
ry out his pledges.
The public was not concerned with
the manner of securing the reforms
promised two years ago. The mayor
chose his own lieutenants and it was
popularity supposed that they were to
! carry out his will.
The Union has all along taken pains
to emphasize the fact that the nomi-
nal head of the police department Is
merely Il city marshal and that the
mayors the real and responsible chief

letter of the ordinances. the public
will not at this time be disposed to

burden of responsibility that he
courted before his election.

ONE CONTINGENCY
Upon Which Now Depends Con-
summation of Big Land
Deals.
OF A HIGHWAY
Will Bring Immense Rock Island
Shops and Stock Yards
to the County.

But little now remains for the COM
plete contamination of the immense
land deals in Rock Island county,
east of Moline, which have been dis
cussed from time to time during the
past two months by the press and
public of Rock Island and Moline
That little, however, is of the utmost
Importance, and upon it depends still
the ultimate success of the entire en-
terprise. As has been stated in The
Argus in connection with former ref
erences TO the negotiations, the deal
involves nearly geo acres of land a
mile wide and mile and half Tin
length, running along the main tracks
of the Rock Island system. commence
ing at the Watertown road just east
of East Moline and extending east to
the point where the tracks of the
Davenport, Rock Island & Northwest
ern road cross those of the Rock ISL
and overhead. Running almost di-
rectly through the center of the land
in question is the Pleasant Valley
highway. and it is contingent upon
the changing of this road that the
success of the transaction seems to
hang. The land, as has been known
for some time, has been secured at
the option of the Rock Island system,
and the Pleasant Valley highway. as
at present situated. precludes the pos
sibility of the tract being used for
the purposes designed. This highway
now lies to the north of the Rock Isl
land main tracks and it must be
changed to the south side to make
the strip available for the company's
uses
