FIGHT HAS BEGUN
First Round Between Saloons
and Prohibitionists OF
Ceneseo
TAKES PLACE IN COURT
iudoe Gest Grants state Leave TO File
Quo Warranfo Against
Liquor Dealers.

The preliminary round in the legal
IattIe that is to be the result OF the re-
opening of the saloons Of Geneseo I'M
Ter authority OF an ordinance passed
over the vote OF the mayor by a major
vote occurred Saturday afternoon in
he circuit court at Cambridge, when
Judge w. II. Gest heard and granted a
,etition entered by the states attor-
1ey. c. Z. Sturtz, in behalf of the peo-
ole. for leave to file quo warrantos
against the 10 saloonkeepers Of the
city.
The defense demurred. but was over
-1iIed. after which their was contin-
nance until next Saturday afternoon.
n the meantime the saloons are doing
business. Probably the next move will
be a motion from. the defense fer per
mission to withdraw leave to file in
formation in order to get the whole
facts before the court.
BEGINNING Of Lively Struggle.
II is believed TO be the beginning of
what will prove to be one of the bitter
est and most interesting legal struggles
involving the liquor traffic that has
taken place in this section Of the state
in years. Appearing for the prosecu-
ton are States Attorney Sturtz and
Attorney Waterman. and for the saloon
keepers ]. L. Haas. of Rock Island. and
Nels r. Anderson. of Galva. and Harry
Z. Brown. of Geneseo.
The important point of law on which
the contention centers is which has
priority. the statutes or the special
charter. In the former IL requires n
two-thirds vote to pass over the veto
of the mayor. and in the latter a ma
jority. The saloonkeepers and their
friends in the council say the charter
governs. The prohibitionists hold that
the state law is supreme; that il comes
before the special charter.
Dry spell for Several Moaths.
After the saloons had been closed
for several months the license alder
men in the city council at a special
meeting filled a vacancy. choosing one
who was favorable 10 the saloon. Then
a meeting was held and a new ordin-
ance passed legaliZing the liquor traf-
fic in the city. The mayor vetoed.
whereupon a majority of the council
members got together and passed the
measure over his head. Since the sa-
looms have been running.

BURNS IN Lookup
David Schue, Farm Hand. Meets
Terrible Death at Propt.

MARSHAL AWAY WITH KEYS
Reseuers Unable to Free Him-Sup
posed to Have Set Fire to His
Bed While Drunk.

David Schue, a farm hand working
and living in the vicinity of Proph-
etstown. whiteside county. burned to
death Friday night in the town lookup
of that place. where he had been plac-
ed on account of being intoxicated.
The city marshal having gone home
with the keys of the lookup. no one
else could get in and rescue the poor
fellow, but could only hear his shrieks
and cries as the flames claimed their
victim.
By the time the fire company had
secured entrance to the little building
by battering down the flaming door,
all that was left of the unfortunate
man was a burned unrecognizable
mass of charred flesh. He was in a
cramped position, his knees being
drawn up. but his arms were extended
as if imploring help. when life be-
came extinct
Works ON Farm.
David Schue was a hard working
man. who was well known in the
vicinity of Prophetstown. He had
worked for number of the farmers
in that part of the county.
Schue was a heavy drinker. and
when he came to town hung around
the saloons. generally getting drunk
on nearly every trip. Friday night
he was in town and having spent Il
greater portion of the afternoon in the
saloons. by nightfall he was in an in
toxicated condition. and was locked up
for safe keeping.
Has hut Two Cells.
The town lookup is a small building
just in the rear of the city hall. IL
has a small ante room in which there
is stove, a couple of chairs and 4
table. and but two cells. Marshal
Needham locked Schue up in the south
cell. he being the only prisoner. fixed
the fire and made it comfortable for
the night. He searched his prisoner
as he always does. and found no
matches or anything with which the
man might have set fire to the Jail.
After making everything as he sup
posed. secure. the marshal went home.
He told Harrison Sylvia to look after
the place. Sylvia sleeps in the town
hail and looks after things during the
might around the city buildings. ia
Sees Fire.
About midnight Sylvia saw the fire
and fastening out heard the shrieks
of Schue. Instead of securing an ak
and battering down the door Sylvia
apparently completely lost his head
and began to shout for help. BY the
time he secured the attention Of the
neighbors and some of them arrived
on the scene it was too late to save
the unfortunate mans life. II is be-
lieved that Schue in some manner Set
fire to his bed else the flames would
not save spread so rapidly.
The coroner's jury decided that
Schue was burned to death in fire
set by his own hand.

feature bouts of the San Francisco

not burlesquer in boxing. He is one
of the few Chinese who have adopted
the ring pastime in legitimate way
and asks no odds of any lad of his
weight. All Wing is not only a clever
boxer and a hard hitter. but he is pos
sessed of rare gameness, quality
which his race is not generally suppos-

without fiinching. Wing is working as

several winning battles in the last
year. Wing speaks excellent English,
