Paul McQuillen. who came here from
Dubuque. and is on his way to Kansas
City. had scads of money Monday
night. He drank considerably. and
when mellow under the influence of
his cups picked up a fellow giving his
name as Ben Peck and proceeded to
hire a rig from Brick Munro. In the
vehicle they cut an erratic swath in
Rock Island and Moline. and on their
return they drove of the bridge into
Davenport fighting furiously in the
buggy. When the vehicle reached Sec
ond and Iowa streets the men were
standing in the buggy box viciously
carving at one another. A misadven-
ture of the wheel caused il to mount
the curbstone and the weight of the
two men overturned the vehicle bot.
tom side up. Both men were thrown
TO the pavement. So intent were they
upon their fisticuffs that they paid no
attention to the overturned buggy. pro-
ceeding with their quarrel until Officer
Sanford appeared and took both into
custody.

ment. BY accident or otherwise they
were informed that Mr.. O'Shaughnessy
had bet $3.50 on Judge Wade's election
and that the Dawson end of the bet
was taken by Charles Marcus, clerk
of the board of public works. The
money was alleged TO have been placed

cause you cannot take the

clear oil who needs cod liver
oil. The doctor understands
that and doubtless means
