Motion to Quash John Robbins
BigamY Indictment is
OVerruIed.
ACTION IN THE OTTO CASE
Adverse Ruling on Demurrer o
Daughter, Laura
Schmid.

John Robbins. resident of the up
per end of Rock Island county, inter
preted the law to allow one to take a
second wife if the first deserted and
remained away from home five years.
during which period he did not know
where she was or whether she was
dead or alive.
Accordingly Robbins recently took
another venture onto the matrimonial
sea. The grand jury heard of it and
an Indictment was returned against
him for bigamy. Contending that the
point he made with reference to re-
marrying after his first wife had been
away from him for five years was
good law, a molten was made in the
circuit court this morning for the
quashing of the Indictment standing
against the defendant. But the court
held otherwise and overruled the mo-
ton. Robbins will therefore have to
stand trial.
The court overruled the demurrer
of Mrs Laura Schmid to the bill of
her mother, Mrs. Catherine Otto. for
the setting aside of n deed by which
the latter transferred her property
to her daughter, who is the wife of \.
F. Schmid. Of South Rock Island. It'll
is alleged by Mrs. Otto in her bill that
the deciding over of her property to
her daughter was accomplished
through misrepresentation.
Injunction Bin Filed.
The bill for an injunction of the
Central Union Telephone company
against the Union Electric Telephone
d Telegraph company. an action re-
ferred to in Yesterdays Argus. was
filed in the circuit court this morning
by Hon. William McEniry, attorney
for the Central Union. MIR. McEniry
states it is not the purpose of the in
junction to defeat the Independent
company in its effort to gain connec-
ton with the country lines through
lead from this city to Milan, but
that his company has exclusive rights
on certain corners in South Rock ISL
and, secured from the owners of the
property. that the Union Electric is
seeking to infringe upon, and the
court action has been sought merely
to protect his company in the enjoy
ment of those rights exclusively.
Owing to Il hitch in the pleading af-
ter the testimony of the plaintiff had
been concluded yesterday afternoon
i'm the hearing of the suit for $1,000
damages for personal injuries of

Iron q Steel company. the case was
