RUNAWAY ON HILL
County Officials Have Close Call From
Fatality While Returning
From Picnic.
SOME THROWN, OTHERS JUMP
Mr. Ferguson CIinEs to the ReIns and
Brings Up Against n Post on
COPperas Creek Bridge.

While returning home yesterday af-
teTnOon from the Orangemen' picnic
at Presumption a party comprising Cir
cult Clerk G. W. Gamble, County
Clerk ii. b. Hubbard, County Superin-
tendent of Schools s. J. Ferguson and
Dr. e. b. Crissman. of this city. and
the latter's father, Rev Samuel Crisis
man, OF Chicago. had an exciting run
away experience. and it is a miracle
that all escaped as luckily as they did.
AS it is, all are carrying bruises and
lame limbs. Rev. Crissman alighted on
his head and remained in a state of
lnsenslblllty for nearly an hour The
mishap occurred as the team. which
was driven to a two-scat rig from the
livery barn of Cralle & Co. reached
the brow of the hill leading to the
Copreras creek bridge.
Clip Holding Tongue Breaks.
Mr.. Ferguson, who was driving. no
N>ed that the off horse was fidgetinE.
and investigation showed that the end
OF the vehicle was hitting the animal.
the clip on that side holding the
tongue to the axle breaking. The con
Veyance was swaying back and forth
on the hill, the horses were growing
Eighty. and the driver was losing con
troll of them. 1t was a serious situa-
ton.
Mr.. Hubbard, thinking he could
reach the head of the horses and bring
them to a stop before they got under
I way, as they were threatening to do,
jumped from the left side of the We
hicle, but in doing 50 his foot caught,
and he landed over in the ditch, doing
several somersaults. When he recov-
cred his feet, Rev. Crissman and his
son and MIR. Gamble were on terra
| frma. but Mr.. Ferguson was still on
deck. Ny. Gamble, when the rig
struck rut was pitched head fore
most out of his seat. Rev. Crissman
jumped, and his son followed suit, the
latter alighting on his feet.
Head Strikes IA Post.
The horses were on a runaway gait
when they reached the bridge and the
rig striking the guard rail, it was
turned partly over, and Mr. Ferguson $
head hit against one of the uprights,
but fortunately the blow was a glanc-
ing one. He let go of the reins and
simultaneously the remaining clip
holding the tongue snapped, as luck
would have it. and the horses contin-
ued on their wild dash down the coun-
try roadway. Mr.. Ferguson soon was
on his feet, the others going to his
aid. He escaped with a bruise in the
head, and several more about the body.
The horses were caught a short dis
lance away. and the party managed
to patch up the rig so that it carried
them the rest of the way to the city.

PRICE OF MEAT UNCHANGED
But Advance is Expected to Reach
Rock Island in a Few Days.

There is not yet any material
change in the price of meats in Rock
Island as a result of the packers
strike. II is said there is bound to
pc an advance. however, if the situa-
ton doesn't change soon. and it is
probable that the advance will come
IN the course of one or two days. The
local butchers may be well supplied
with meat. and if they are the prices
are apt to remain steady. Mr.. Peters.
an ice dealer of Moline, formerly a
butcher in that city, heretofore has
been rounding up cattle and killing
them at the Twin-City Strengthening
and Rendering company's plant, and
5 he is still able to secure cattle 1t
will necessarily be a factor in holding
down the price here for some time.

HOLD LITTLE ONES
Gen. William Longs Dependency Pro-
ceedings Knocked Out by
Jury in County Court.
CASE OF JAMESON CHILDREN
Proven They Are Cared For as Well az
Ones Circumsfanced as Are
Their Parents Can.

A Jury in the county court this
morning decided that Annie, Willie
and Catharine, children of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Jameson. who reside at
Seventh avenue and Seventh street,
were not 'shamefully neglected" by
their parents, as was alleged in the de
pendency petition filed by Gen. Will
liam Long. head of the Christian War
riors. a religious band that some
months ago moved its headquarters
from a small town in Iowa TO Rock
Island. and has barracks on Fourth
avenue near Twenty-first street.
R r. Reynolds, the attorney retain
ed by Mr.. Jameson to resist the at
tempt that was made to separate him
and his wife from their little ones,
scored Gen. Long before the jury,
term;ng him a diSturber and that he
had gone far beyond his bounds when
he sought to break up family simply
because the father, a sober, industrious
man, was poor, and had to live in mod
est quarters.
What the General HcHrd.
The case was on hearing since yes
I
court until noon today. In that time
there were number of witnesses on
1.-THE stand. called by both sides. Gen
| Long having employed II. NJ. Schriver
and J. f. Witter as his counsel 1t
was the first proceeding brought in
the county court by the Warriors. The
general, it appeared, had learned
through the women of his command
that the Jameson children were not
cared for as they should be; that they
were not properly clothed, and that
they were forced to go among the
Ineighbors and beg for food. One of his
witnesses was asked if it was not so
that Mr. Jameson rushed the can"
at his home. and ne answered that if
| he did it was not frequent occur
renee He had known Mr.. Jameson
TO treat by going to the saloon for a
bucket of beer when he had company.
! however.
A woman was asked if she did not
know that the children were allowed
to 90 without food and were otherwise
neglected by their parents. She ans
wered that she had six youngsters of
her own, and they kept her so busy
on the children of others.
Grocer to Rescue of JAMESON.
The defense exploded Gen. Longs
case this morning, when it was shown
that Jameson was regularly employed
by the city health department as
driver of one of its wagons. and that
he earned SIS per month. Jameson s
grocer testified that Jameson bought
enough groceries at his place to keep
a family of the size of his, and that he
paid cash for them. Neighbors went
on the stand and said that Jameson
was a good husband and kind father,
and as far as they knew had done ev-
erything within his means to rear his
family in plenty and responsibility.
The jury was composed of w. E.
Davis, L. L. Livingstone, f. G.. Gavin,
Alfred Meyer, c. D. Marshall and G..
w. Wright. The case will cost the
county about 5000.
