LAWYER WHIPPED.
w. r. Moore, of Moline Attacked
by j. w. Liggett of This
City.
LATTER PURSUED IN AN AUTO
AFFAIR Grew Out of Domestic
Troubles Involving the
Assaiiant.

The horscwhipping of an attorney
on prominent street corner, the pur-
suit, overhauling and arrest of the as
sailant by the mayor of the city in his
automobile was the decidedly novel
incident that occurred in Moline this
morning. w. II. Moore was the at
torney, and james w. Liggett, who
resides at 4421 Sixth avenue, Rock
Island, did the horsewhipping. while
Mayor Charles p. Skinner made the
arrest.
The incident started at the corner
of Thirteenth street and Fifth ave-
nue.. Mr.. Moore was waiting for a
car when Liggett approached with a
companion i'm Il rig and called the
lawyers attention. AS Mr.. Moore adj
vanccd Mr.. Liggett leaped from the
rig and struck him in the face. The
former, thus assaulted, turned to flee,
when the other seized the whip from
its socket and pursuing him. cut him
across the face with the lash. Mr..
Liggett then returned to the rig and
drove west.
Chased In Auto.
About this time Mayor Skinner hap
pened along with his auto. Mr.. Moore
climbed in with him and together they
sped after the pair in the buggy. The
latter were overhauled after Il run of
seven blocks and Mr.. Liggett was
placed under arrest. He made no OBJ
lection and returned to the police sta
ton. where he was given an immedi-
ate hearing and fined $50.
The trouble that led to the assault
has been brewing for months. Some
time ago Sarah w. Liggett, wife of the
attorneys assailant, applied for a di-
vorce and Mr.. Moore was retained as
her attorney. The husband resisted.
and so far the divorce has not been
secured.
Mr.. Liggett now charges Mr.. Moore
with improprictics in connection with
the case and the assault was made in
desire to obtain vengeance. The at
torney's eye was BACKED and a mark
left across his cheek by the lash.

skin across his nose.

The 20Oth anniversary of the birth
of John Wesley, the founder of Meth
Cdism, was celebrated at the First
Methodist church last evening by n
service of unusual interest, which was
enjoyed by i large audience. +. ID.
Sweeney delivered an excellent adj
dress ON the life Of Wesley. He de
scribed the religious conditions in
England at the time of his birth, and
showed the imperative necessity for
the reformation which Mr.. Wesley in
augurated. In beautiful language he
described the career of the great re-
former from his childhood to the con
summation of his great work, and
showed how his life and teachings
had enriched the whole world.
After well rendered duet by Prof.
PhilbrOok and Keith Colfins.a p eloquent
address was delivered by Hon. Will
liam jackson. who confined his dis
cussion chiefly to some of the rclig-
ious doctrines peculiar to the Wesley
ar movement. He showed the preSa-
itHce OF IdINahISIh III the DeS4tiHliiS ol
the Methodist movement and how it
was successfully antagonized- by IVES
ley and his followers. He Gwelt upon
the doctrine of salvation by faith in
opposition to the prev ailing idea of
merit in the ordinances and sacra-
ments of the church. Mr.. jackson
was seldom if ever more eloquent be-
fore a jury than he was in setting
forth the doctrines of Methodism to
his delighted hearers.

Surely no city ever knew such ex-

Here are millionaires democratically

bling chance for wealth, has attracted
both success and failure writes Ray
Stannard Baker in ''The Great North

lege graduates, foreign noblemen,
Cinnamon, Italians, Welshmen, and a
dozen other nationalities, with a mis-
cradle remnant Of the aboriginal In
dians, all gathering and fraternizing in
this little isolated city. The chief of
| police has a checklist of 600 ex-con-
victs who are residents of the city; but
that fact alone is highly misleading
ing. 1t does injustice to the active bet
ter element, for here are no fewer than
2s church organizations, with numer-
Gus fine church edifices, the services
well supported, and well attended.
Here are crowding saloons, it is true,
but here are also some of the best

from those Of the favored east. On the
other hand you viii hear, in the same
breath, related with no more surprise,
as though ii were the most common

some of the details of which came un-

prominent young society men having
differed over baseball game, one chal-
lenged the other to personal combat.
They drove ont to roadhouse, chose
seconds, stripped TO the waist in the
presence of considerable company,
among which was the father Of one of
he young men, and fought out their
differences with bare fists. Nothing
sver seems unexpected in Butte: what
'yer happens is so much added to the
