There are quite number of men in
Rock Island who are satisfied in their
own minds that when Mr.. Knox de
clared that he had never voted for his
own son-in-law. simply because the -
ter differed with him in politics. he
either came dangerously near trifiing
with the truth or dangerously near
proving that he is so unnatural in the
extent of his political prejudices and
withal so narrow-souled that he is I'M
fit TO govern a city made up of all
shades and conditions of men, politi-
cally or otherwise.

GAY AUTO PARTY
COMES TO GRIEF
THEY ENCOUNTER A PICKET
FENCE AT 8 AM.
Mystery Surrounds the Nocturnal Spin
Because the Chuffers Remove Marks
of Identification and Abandon the
Wrecked Car-Police on Guard, but
Nobody Comes to Claim It.

There is much speculation in auto
mobile circles as to the identity Of the
party of jewellers that abandoned a
wrecked machine at Fourteenth avenue
s and Third street at O'Clock this
morning after removing the number to
stop police activity. The car is still
tangled up with a fence, where it was
left, and altho the police Of the South
station have guarded it for the owner,
no one has yet appeared to claim it.
Several persons were awakened early
this morning when the auto carrying
two men and two women dashed down
Third street at a terrific rate. The oc-
cupants Of the machine, these persons
say, were unusually hilarious and it
was their screams and laughter more
than the noise of the machine that dis
turbed the sleepers.
When the machine reached Four
teenth avenue there was crash and
the sound Of rending lumber and ex-
ploding tires. The machine rolled over
on it's side but the gay party alighted
on their feet without injury. The driv--
er had lost control of his machine and
it had crashed into picket fence.
Seeing that the auto was minus wheel
and several other parts necessary to
insure easy running, the men hastily
removed the number and all marks OF
Identification from the machine and es-
capped before an officer came that way.
The accident was seen by several near
by residents who were, however, unable
to give good description Of the chuf.
fng party.
The machine was a two-seated red
auto Of a common make and local
chaufeurs think that with little good
detective work they can identify two
well-known young men who are at pres
emit fixing UP an alibi.

demned to die for the murder of Heine
Lundeen in Sherburne county last fall.

the near approach Of the date set for
his execution.
Attorney w. H. Place, who has been
granted transcript Of the testimony Of
the Crawford trial, said today that he
was preparing settled case and would
go to Elk River next week to argue q
motion for new trial for his client
If this motion is denied, as it seems
practically certain it will be, an appeal
to the supreme court will be perfected
at once. i t"1

cution will be granted in the event Of
an appeal,'' said the attorney, "but

be granted new trial. Of course the
appeal cannot be heard by the supreme

BODY OF A NEGRO
FOUND IN OLD QUARRY

The badly decomposed body Of a
negro was found this forenoon in an
abandoned stone quarry below River
side park. Beside the body was a rust
ed revolver containing two empty and
four loaded shells.
The body was found by two boys,
who Immediately notified the park po-
liceman, and Coroner Kistler ordered The
body taken to the county morgue,
where post norton will be held this
afternoon.
The body has evidently lain in the
quarry for weeks. It was lying in an
inch of water and the features were
nearly destroyed. 1t is impossible to
tell the age Of the man. No colored
men are recorded as missing on the
police books. Policemen and detectives
who went to the place in answer to. the
call looked over the ground carefully
and say that the man undoubtedly
killed himself.
The man was shabbily dressed and
had nothing about his person by which
he could be identified. The body will
be buried Immediately by the county
unless claimed by friends or relatives.
