NO PAY FOR LABOR DAY AT
THE ARSENAL THIS YEAR
Men Will Have to Work the Same as
on other Days, According to Order
of Comptroller of Treasury.

Col. S. E. Blunt, commandment at
Rock Island arsenal, has had posted
an order he has received from the
comptroller of the United States treas
ury directing him not to allow pay to
any per diem labOrer at the arsenal
for Labor day unless he works on that
day. This includes the enthire force
lat the arsenal. with the exception of
clerks, who are employed by the
month
There is no explanation for the ac-
ton further than that the comptroller
holds the wOTkmen are not entitled to
pay for the day unless they perform
labor for it as they do on other work
days. This is taken to indicate that
the government does not recOg-
niZe Labor day as a national holiday.
as in former years the men at the ar
senal were allowed the day and paid
for it. the same as on Fourth of July.
Col. Blunt states that he sees no rem
edy short of special act of congress.

TOMLiNSON BALLOON MAY
HAVE PASSED OVER CITY
Airship, Enroute From ST. Louis to
Washington, Sighted This Morn
ing at Wyoming.

George TomlinsOn, in his trip
through the clouds from St. Louis to
Washington. may have passed over
Rock Island about noon today. His
balloon was seen early this morning
at Wyoming, along the Peoria division,
headed for this city. The word came
to The Argus in an Associated Press
dispatch, and a constant vigil has been
maintained here, but no trace of the
balloon has been had.
One citizen who brags on his good
eyesight saw what he would have TAX
en- an affidavit was the airship while
he was standing at the Twenty-fOurth
street viaduct. He soon had an aud
fence. The object was followed and
came north just east of the Sylvan
railroad bridge. 1t was a wild duck.
But Tomlinson is on the way. That
is a cinch. A race of balloons, at
tempting flight of over one thousand
miles, has never been undertaken be
fore in the United States. The longest
fight in this country was made in 1857,

a. S. Whitman, alias Morton, the
man wanted for beating the Altoona
bank out of $500 on a bogus check,
and the Knox County bank out of $500
by a similar game, is in the Knox
county Jail at Galesburg, and admits
openly that he is the man who worked
the game. His brother, c. B. Whit
man. who was with him, is not so seri-
ously desired, as his part was of less
consequence.
a. S. was picked up at Hastings,
Neb.. where he was seeking to obtain
money on a bogus check. The Gales
burg sheriff had a hard time getting
him, as Toledo, Iowa, officers and OF
tumwa officers wanted him for a SINH
lar fraud there. In short he belongs
to a Chicago gang, and he is wanted
all over the country.
On the way to Galesburg, Whitman
opened up and told the sheriff how
he worked the game in the two Knox
county banks. He was enabled to sue.

vicinity of the towns where he Oper-

.ADRIFT ON RAPIDS
steamer Winona Strikes q Canoe
Throwing Three Occupants. Into
the River Saturday.
BARELY ESCAPE WITH LIVES
One is Hanging Onto Wheel When En-
gineer Happens to Hear His Cries
Before Starting Machinery.

A canoe sailing down stream under
a heavy wind was struck by the
steamer City of Winona Saturday af-
ternoon at 3 o'clock opposite Rock
Island arsenal, the passengers, Oscar
Wickstrom, Charles Johnson and Otto
Smith, having a narrow escape from
drowning.
The trio had been up the river as
far north as Hampton, and were on
their return home when the accident
occurred. Their craft was a 14-foot
canoe and was carried by two large
sails. The pilot of the steamer, when
he saw the collision was imminent, sig
nailed below to shut down the engines.
Two of the Party Jump.
Smith and Johnson jumped into the
stream. Wickstrom had intended re-
naming in the canoe, expecting to
grab the bow of the Winona. but the
little boat was overturned and he was
pitched headlong into the water, pass
ng under the steamer, and his head
striking the bottom.
Life buoys were thrown to Smith
and Johnson and they were soon on
the boat, although both were nearly
exhausted. Wickstrom was nowhere
to be seen and he was given up for
dead when the engineer, as he was
preparing to start the machinery that
sets the wheel in motion, heard cries
of murder coming from the rear.
CIInging TO Paddle on Wheel.
Going to the back of the boat the
engineer found Wickstrom clinging to
one of the paddles. He could not have
held on much longer, and if the wheel
had been started he would have been
thrown into the river, never to have
been rescued.
The three young men were taken
ashore in a launch from Rock Island
arsenal, and their canoe. which was
held up by two alright cells, was
recovered. They reached their homes
in Moline at 10 o'clock last night.
Johnson and Smith each lost a gold
watch valued at SIS. The canoe das
damaged SIS. The young men say
they will bring suit against the man
agement of the Winona for damages.
