ONE OF DEAD Is
NOW Identified
Paper from Notebook Bears the Name
of Grover Cleveland
Smith.

One of the two men who were killed
by being run over by freight train
late Wednesday afternoon, near Fejer-
vary park, has been almost conclusive
BY identified as Grover Cleveland
Smith. Such an amount of circum-
stantial evidence that points toward
this conclusion has accumulated that
hardly another theory can be enter
tanned.
A discovery was made Thursday
which throws new light upon the case.
a piece of a blank book corresponding
to the other leaves of the book picked
up with the two bodies was brought to
the RunSe undertaking rooms by boy
who found it near the railroad track.
On it is the address, 1888 West Sec
ond street, and the name Grover
Cleveland Smith. If this clue is au-
thentic the larger of the men, whose
head was decapitatied. is the son OF
Josiah II. Smith of Maquoketa, and

Evening.

At a meeting of Company A, |. \. e..
last evening, it was decided TO post
pone the preliminary meet to have been
| held this evening and tomorrow, until
next week, probably Wednesday and
Thursday evenings. This action was
taken owing to the fact that there arc
number of the cOmpany's best track
men who have not finally decided on
the events they wish to enter for in
the tryout meet. Everything points TO
one of the most successful track meets
of the season for the encampment week
at Camp Lincoln, and throughout the
regiment great interest is being mani
| tested in this new feature of the Ma
tional Guard outing.
Elaborate gold, silver and Bronze
medals are being made to be awarded
to the winners of the places in the
various events. The Rock Island mem
| bers are at the head of the movement
| for the athletic contests, and are do
! ing their utmost to make the meet a
success The boys are training hard
I and expect to win the honor of captur-
/ ing the meet, as well as the distinction
of its being its promoters.
/ The date for the tryOut meet for the
Rock Island entries will be decided at
the company's regular meeting Monday
evening.
