LIFE TERM FOR THE
THOMPSON MURDERER
Billy Myers Quietly Brought Into Court
and Allowed to Plead
Guilty.

Billy Myers, the slayer of Mayor
Bennett, of Thomson, pleaded guilty
to manslaughter before Judge Heard
yesterday in the circuit court at Mt
Carroll. and was sentenced to life I'M
prisonment in the state penitentiary
This transaction was a great surprise
To the people of Mt. Carroll and Thorn
son. for il was done in a quiet way and
scarcely anybody expected that any
thing would be done at this time
Judge Heard went to Mt Carroll
yesterday morning TO take up some
matters of business in the circuit
court, and the people of the town and
vicinity believed that nothing but rou-
tine business would be transacted.
Consequently very few pere present at
the court room. BY permission of the
states attorney, Myers was allowed
to- be taken from the Jail to the court
room where he at once pleaded guilty.
Under the circumstances there was
nothing left for the Judge to do but
pronounce the sentence. which will
cause Myers to go TO the states prison
for life. Mt Carroll will not. there
fore. be the scene of a hanging as 4
result of this case. II is believed by
citizens of Mt. Carroll that If a sec
ond trial had been held, the result
would have been another murder YER
dict and that Myers would have been
sentenced to hang.

MOVE AGAINST SCALPERS
Return Stock Shippers Tickets to BE
Kept Out Of Their Hands.

Ticket brokers are to be deprived of
their supply of tickets from stockmen
if the plan of the Western Passenger
association works as well as the rail-
road men at the meeting of the associa.
ton at Chicago believe it would. For
years men coming to Chicago. Kansas
City. and other points with stock have
been in the habit of selling the return
part of their passes to "scalpers" when
they did not desire TO return home di.
rectly by the same road on which their
stock came
Presidents of the western lines re-
quested the appointment of a commit
tee by the passenger association to see
what could be done. The freight men
were instructed to confer with this com
mittee. which has just presented its re.
port. IL recommends that tickets for
the round trip be issued at the point
from which shipments are made. Be-
fore being good for the return, these
tickets must be stamped by the joint
agents of the lines. stationed at the va
rious stockyards. IL the scheme works
as well as the committee expects, few
return live stock tickets can be used
by the 'scalpers."

Moline's new opera house Will be
Moline Studebaker theatre built after
the plants of the theatre in Chicago,
carrying the same name. That, at
least is the way the promoters or the
new theatre want to build ii. If built
on that plan there will be only one
gallery and the parquet, eliminating
the second gallery. which always has
several bad features about it, The
second gallery seats are cheap and us
ually attract an element more disposed
to make themselves noisy and dis
agreeable than to enjoy the perform
ance. The opera house will be 1oox
so feet and the stage will be 45xso.
and will accommodate any amount OF
scenery carried by shows travelling

GRAFTERS WORKING GAME
Sell Patent Rights For Small Device
and Secure Large Sums.

A couple of sharpers have been work
ing a clever graft throughout the state
according to all accounts.
The plan is to sell territorial rights
for a patent oil cup, the cup being
made to fit the aXles of any vehicle
and feed the oil automatically.
County rights have sold at from 5000
to $500. The scheme came to light al
Pontiac recently.
The stranger engaged the services of
well-known Pontiac man to help in
troduce the article, and the prospecting
for victims commenced. The first visit
was made to Minonk, where in day
or so a party was found who bought
the right for Wodford county for 5000
cash. Dwight was the next stop. and
here the Livingston county rights were
sold for $500. Then came Joliet, and
Will county rights were captured for
$3.50. Kankakee county Melted $500
Then Indiana was invaded. Here
there seemed TO be no difficulty in sell
ing county rights for from 5000 to $500
each.
About this time the man who owned
the patent had a call to return to his
NOME III iowa lOT d lew udNS. ne SuS-
gested that the Pontiac man might
continue the sale of rights as an agent
or, better STILL he might buy out the
entire state rights in Indiana for $5,-
900. The enthusiasm of the Pontiac man
had by this time been aroused, and he
accepted the offer. Just as the deal was
closed a third party appeared, and
claimed a prior right TO Indiana. 1t
was finally agreed that the new conner
should pay $4,000 for the Pontiac mans
claim, if the latter in turn would pay
$12 900 for both Indiana and Ohio.
This looked like a bonanza, and the
Pontiac man signed the contract and
paid over his share of the money.
Then there was some disappearing.
The stranger disappeared. So did the
third party. The Pontiac man found
himself all alone. with the absolute
right to sell in Indiana and Ohio little
oil cup, such as may be purchased at
any nickle and dime store.
II is alleged that the same scheme
was successfully operated in other
nearby counties.

Family Not Located.

Funeral services were held in the
Rose undertaking rooms at 10 o'clock
yesterday for Franklin A. Hunt, the
unfortunate lad who was killed Tues
day morning while on his way to his
work in the East Moline plant of the
Rock Island road. An effort was
made to locate the lads mother in
Alexandria, Ind, his former home. but
the marshal at that place wired back
in response to the message of inquiry
that Hunts mother was now in South
Dakota. A message was dispatched TO
an address given in the vain hope
that she might be located. and as no
reply was received. burial was made
in Riverside cemetery.
