DAVENPORT DOTS,
Rock IsIanders Arrested.

Detective SchIeuter. of the Davenport
police force. was called TO Grand Isle
Sunday, where he placed under arrest
three men charged by Manager Kuehl
with trespass. The men gave their
names as William De Smith, Charles
De Smith and Charles DOblen. Eacn
had a gun and they were engaged in
hunting squirrels. Shooting upon
Grand Isle is strictly prohibited by
the management, hence the arrest of
the violators of the rules and regula-
tions posted conspicuously at various
places upon the island. The men and
their guns were taken to the police
station. There the men were booked
and allowed TO go upon leaving their
guns as security. This they did and
agreed to appear for trial yesterday.
They failed to appear, and unless they
do so, the guns Will be forfeited. It
was at first thought that the men de-
cided to forfeit their guns rather than
20 take any chances in having the game
warden bringing proceedings against
them. Officer Schleuter. however,
states that when arrested the men had
no game in their possession and had
merely shot at some squirrels. but
failed to bring any of them TO the
ground. All three men are residents
of Rock Island and are employed at
the plant of the Rock Island Pillow
works.

Sullivan Loses to Herman.

Hot Springs, Ark, March 14.-"Kid"
Herman was given decision over
Dave Sullivan in the ninth round by
Referee Kid Mccoy amidst a wild
scene at the Wilmington Park Athletic
club last night. The round began with
Sullivan coming out of his corner
seemingly none the worse for his ear
lier punishment. After a few light ex-
changes Herman landed a right up
percut to Sullivan's jaw, which did not
appear to have the necessary force to
send Sullivan to the floor. but the lat
ter deliberately went down and took
count of nine. On arising he went
10 a clinch. and on the break received
a right and left swing TO the Jaw. He
appeared bit wObbly, but covered
up effectively and Herman sailed in
and began fighting wildly A light
swing again landed to Sullivan's jaw
and the fighter went to the floor. His
chief second, Benny Murphy. threw
sponge into the ring as a token of de-
feat. Kid Mccoy promptly kicked it
out and ordered the seconds who had
attempted to climb into the roped in
closure. out. meanwhile waving the
fighters to continue. After partial or
der was restored the men resumed
fighting and Herman landed a light
punch on Sullivan's chest The latter
deliberately dropped to his knees and
permitted Mccoy to count him out.
Mccoy had no hesitancy in declaring
after the fight that Sullivan quit cold.

MOLINE MENTION,
Yards at East Moline.

People in East Moline are wonder
ing why surveyors have been busying
themselves with laying out lines in
East Moline the last few weeks. Now
it is reported that the Burlington road
has decided to build roundhouse and
yards in East Moline. The Burlington
is handicapped TO a great extent, hav-
ing really no yards of any great capaci-
" in the city. and it has become ncces-
sary to furnish them some place. Now
it is planned to utilize some of the
railroad property the Burlington owns
north of its right of way in East Mo
line.

GOLD Is FOUND IN
ANDALUSIA ROCK
Quartz Assays SO Ton, Not
Enough to Pay For
Working.

Gilmore Hobert, who lives on his
farm a couple of miles below Anda-
lusia on the Coal creek hill, for some
time has been of the opinion that there
was gold in certain kind of rock that
underlies his land. So much faith had
he in his theory that he decided to
send a sample to an assayer. The re-
port he has received shows that there
is gold there but hardly in quantities
that would pay to work for. 1t would
assay about IS per ton, which would
not yield any profit after the eXpen-
ses of assaying are deducted. Mr.. Ho-
bert found that with the gold in his
quartz there is also silver and other
baser metals. If the gold were loose
in the soil it could be prolitably work
ed for S. a ton by hydraulic process.

CHRISTMAS EVE
 WAS VERY QUIET
POLICE SAY THAT THIS WAS THE oUITEST CHRISTMAS EVE IN THE HISTORY OF BlRMlN NGHAM. FEW ACCIDENTS.

Christmas eve passed off quietly. It was Sunday night and all saloons were closed. Few intoxicated persons were seen on the streets during the day and at night the thoroughfares were practically de- serted. with the exception of few strag- gling pedestralns.
 Taken as a whole the day was quiet and orderly. A number of arrests were made by the police, but out of the sixty eight persons placed in the city jail only small number were charged with vio- lations of laws which are usually violated during the holidays. Not ten disorderly conduct cases are on the police record while charges of more serious char aeter, such as murder. highway robbery and the like are recorded.
 The police expressed pleasure last night over the conditions of affairs.
 Chief Wler Is going to police the city well today with the regular force and extra men. It is not compulsory for the regular men to do double duty, but the privilege of making double time is all lowed those who care to perform the ser vice.
 Lieutenant Egan and Hagood and all members of the police department stated that this was one of the most orderly Chrstmsses in the history of the city.
