ham asked the circuit court and
George A. Cooke as to the application
which he understood was TO be filed
for a continuance in the cases of the
state VS.. Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. A. Mckinney
Mr.. Cooke replied that he had not had
a moments time to consider the mat
ter, having just come out of the long
Talliaferro case, which took a day
longer than he expected Mr. Graham
replied that the case was set for trial
next Monday and as he had witnesses
abroad which he had to notify he must
prepare for trial and made the
subpoenaes. Mr.. Cooke then said that
the states attorney had notified him a
week ago that he would not show him
any mercy and he supposed he was
carrying it out Mr.. Graham said it
was his duty to be prepared. Mr..
Cooke said that he would be ready by
Friday morning to make his applica-
ton for the continuance. There seems
to be a general opinion that it will be
granted, as Mr.. Cookies plea will be
that after attending TO cases in the
court in which he was engaged prior
to opening of the term his duty is at
the state capitol as member of the
house of representatives, in which he
was given a seat last Wednesday.

LACING COSTS WOMAN'S LIFE
Mrs. O'Connor Falls in ST. Louis Street
From Cerebral Hemorrhage.

St. Louis, Mo, April 13.-Tight lac
ing and hearty eating caused the sud
den death of Mrs. Violet O'Connor,
wife of John H. O'Connor, a travelling
salesman. While fastening from her
hotel to the residence of friend, Mrs.
O'Connor fell unconscious on the
street and died soon afterwards. The
compression of her waist and rapid
walking forced a large quantity OF
blood to her brain, causing cerebral
hemorrhage. said the physician who
attended her.

Miss Winnie Day Wishes to
be Sent to Hospital
for insane.
GRADUALLY LOSING REASON
Might Do Harm to Herself or Her
FamiIy-case Has No Pre-
cedent in County.

There has come TO the attention of
the Rock Island county court a most
pathetic Casa woman seeking to
have herself committed to a hospital
for the insane, fearing that she will
do harm to herself or her loved ones.
The woman is Miss Winnie Day. aged
80 years, daughter of Homer Day, Of
Barstow. Miss Day has for some time
been conscious that her reason was
deserving her While she has been
able to do her Homework she has con-
fded to her family that she was grad
ually losing control of herself and she
might commit some rash act lest she
were placed where she would be
watched constantly.
without Precedent In County.
Mr.. Day conferred with Judge Z. E.
Parmenter, and explained the circum-
stances. The case is unprecedented
in the county. Judge Parmenter has
found a provision in the statutes that
permits of person petitioning to have
himself or herself committed to a state
hospital. if the application is accom-
panied by a certificate from a physi-
clan attest.ng to the condition of the
petitioner. If this process is followed
the court may enter an order of com
mitment without the formality of a
jury hearing.
Miss Day believes that she will re
gain her reason if she is given proper
care, and she is anxious to be placed
in one of the state hospitals, where
she will come under the charge of eX-
perts on insanity. The woman was
sent TO Watertown today.
Moline Woman Found Insane.
Mrs Clara Mathilda Carlson, aged
SO years. of Moline. was the subject
of an inquiry in the county court this
morning. jury finding her insane, and
Judge Parmenter ordering her commit
ted to the WATERFOWL hospital. Mrs.
Carlson's mental affection is due to an
attack of yphoid-pneumonia that she
suffered two months ago.

Girl Is Not Bright.

Mr.. Thiele in speaking of the girl
said that she is not the bright and in
telligent girl described by the press
He describes her as rather weak
minded and slow of comprehension
He spoke of her as girl who would
hardly know how to do things right
on simply being told to do them. He
thought that full explanations would
be necessary.
She is a girl" he remarked. that
would try ones patience, perhaps. for
the very reason that she is not bright
and quick"
In view of the fact that Mr.. Thiele
will likely be an important witness in
the case what he says will likely prove
of great Importance.
