NEARBY PASTOR
IN ERRlNG WAYS
Minister in an Adjoining coun.
ty Dismissed for Be.
ing Drunk.
WEEK'SSPREEINR ROCK ISLAND
Pleads Grief Over Departure of an
Adopted Daughter But Trus-
tees Are UnreIenting.

The trustees of church of a nearby
city have held special meeting and
declared the pulpit vacant, as the re-
suit of certain irregularities on the part
of the pastor, reports of which came to
their ears from sources too reliable to be
questioned. These reports were to the
effect that the minister had spent the
greater part of the past week in Rock
Island in state of intoxication.
The report when first brought to the
attention of the officers of the church
seemed almost beyond belief, and it
was put down as an idle tale. But the
nature of the charges was such that an
investigation was necessitated, and the
reports were found too true. the min
lister having spent the greater part of
the week in a Rock Island saloon in a
drunken condition. The trustees fin
ally managed to get word with him,
and the result was dismissal.
Pleaded Family Troubles.
While the officers and members of
the church have compassion for tho
pastor and his failings yet they could
not condone such actions in the lead
cl- piCdSuci thC SASuSN
that the recent trouble that had come
upon him in the departure of his
adopted daughter. had caused him to
forget himself and act in this unseen
ly manner.
There is great sorrow over the mat
ter. and general feeling of pity for the
fallen pastor. A man of splendid ability.
and scholarly attachments, he has built
a reputation for depth of thought and
eloquence of utterance that extends
farther than the confines of his city or
county. He was deemed just the man
for the place. as indicated by the fact
that he was recently called to serve
the church for the second year as pas
tor. The investigation that followed
the astonishing discovery showed that
this was not the first time he had
given up to the cravings of appetite.

SPORTING NOTES
MELODY Put Out.

Chicago. Nov 15.-In less than two
minutes of the Harlem fight last night
Buddy Ryan had seized the white wei
terweight championship from Honey"
Melody, the Boston holder of the title.
The north sider's lightning-like one
two punch settled Melody. 1t brought
the Boston man down in a heap and
at the count of six he got up. only to
get another solid punch in the jaw that
settled the battle in a hurry. The re-
suit of the contest was one of the big
gest surprises that has been sprung
on fight followers in this city in many
a day. II was reported early in the
day and announced from the ring that
Ryan was overweight, one report hav-
ing it a pound and half and another
stating that Buddy was four pounds
over the limit of 142 pounds. Buddy
denied both reports as he sat in his
corner of the ring waiting for the fight
to begin. But the announcement of
Ryan's denial was not given to the
crowd.
