name of Frank Wells faced the bar of
justice yesterday morning and got a
fine of $25 and costs. He was caught
in BucktowR by Officer Sanford while
pursuing a fleeing figure with a big
knife which he held up in his hand.

bail was fixed at $500 and he was sent

Friends are trying to raise the

DAVENPORT DOTS

The subscription lists with which
the soliciting committee is going to
canvass the cityfor the stock subscrip-
lions to the new hotel are out in the
hands of the members of the commit
tee, and in circulation among the
men of the community who are sup
posed to have money ready to put
into the advancement of the city in
this manner. NJ. ID. Petersen, who is
ready to take half the stock in the
enterprise, has so far modified the
proposition as to make the preferred
stock accumulative, whereas it was
first proposed to be non-accumulative.
This makes the proposition more en-
ticing than it was before. Members
of the committee state with positive
ness the belief that they will have
little difficulty in getting all the mon
ey that is needed. They rely on the
sentiment in favor of hotel to over
come slight objections to the form of
the proposition, or other adverse ar
guments that may be raised.

Anderson did not pay the full amount
of the check but let Friedman have
$50 and told him TO come back I'm the
