With the exception of the Sixth
ward the above notices were given the
honor Of original appearance in the
Looney-Girected morning paper of to-
day. ana it was apparently the pur-
pose to make the announcements as
obscure as possible by combining them
to this source OF publicity. but some
OF the committeeman objected and
certified copies were sent to The
Argus office. The Sixth ward an
nounccment, however. was brought to
The Argus office by one of the com
mitteemen from that ward. While il
is very evidently not the purpose of
all the committeeman to lie party to
the design. there i readily to be seen
purpose on the part of Looney. who
controls the majority of the commit
tecmen in the city. i'm not having all
the caucuSeS on the same night. as is
customary. Further than this, there
is even Il difference i'm the hours in
which some Of those to be held on the
same night are to meet. the intention
in this move being likewise obvious.

Herbert Helmke, 21 years of age, re-
siding in Blue Island. told of the hor-
rible ending of his companion as fol-
lows:
Il was slightly acquainted with de-
ceased. His name was George Sufkin
and he resided in Blue Island. So far
as | know he was Il or Is years Of
age. He was killed in the morning
about half past five on Il freight train
on the Rock Islanu road about one
and a half miles east of Green River
station. He and l started last night
about S:25 for Rock Island, intend
ing to go from there to St Louis. We
had no money and intended to steal
rides on freight trains to our place of
destination. We boarded a freight
train at Blue Island and stole n ride
from there TO Ottawa. At Ottawa we
got on another freight train and rode
to the place where George was killed.
The last time | saw him alive was at
Genesco. He was then standing on
the ground alongside the train. | did
not see him get aboard the train.
When the train was about mile and
Il half east of Green river it parted in
two places and came to stop. Some
of the boys that were on the train
told me that Il man was killed. and !.
with three more Of the boys that were
beating their way, went back to see
who it was.
