MOTIONS ALLOWED
Court Quashes the indictments
Against William n. Cline
En-. and w. D. M. Dunavin
FOR LIBEL AGAINST SCOTT
Charges Against T. !. Stanley Noile
Prossed-RecaII Of Grand Jury
Asked by States Attorney.

In the circuit court this morning
Judge Gest allowed the motions made
by b. F. Schrivcr, representing w. ii
Cline and F. H. Wells, representing
W. d. NJ Dunavin, to quash the seven
indictments against Cline and Dunavi!
with John Looney for criminal libel
and the indictments were quaShed. On
the ruling of the court States Attorney
Scott nolle pressed the five indict
mCnts against T. |. Stanley of Moline
for libel The indictments were quash
ed by the court as TO LOoney, also. ON
the same ground. though no motion had
been made in his case.
Because scott Conducted Examination.
The motions to quash the indictments
raised the point that the indictments
charge libel against States Attorney
Scott, and though Mr.. Scott was thus
he was in the grand jury
room during the time the indictments
were being considered. The court, in
allowing the motion. stated that he be
lieved that the grand jury probably
that its action in returning
the indictments under the circum-
stances was proper, but that in his
opinion the indictments should have
been considered when the special at
tOrney was before the grand jury.
Wants Jury Recalled.
After Judge Gest had made his Tul-
ing on the motions. Mr.. Scott request
ed the court to recall the grand jury to
have these matters presented again to
that body. his idea being to have the
jury consider the matter in consulta-
ton with special states attorney.
Judge Gcst will consider the matter,
aud Mr.. Scott stated today that if the
grand jury is not recalled, he will
either file informations in the county
court or take the cases up before the
January grand jury.

NO CAUSE To GUST
Judge Gest Passes on Looney's
Petition to Have States
Attorney Removed.
REPORT HAS BEEN FILED
Interpretation of Court Indicates That
in Case 1t Has Not, Suspension
Only Would Follow.

This morning in the circuit court
Judge w II. Gest ruled on the petition
of John Looney, filed some time ago
| to Gust States Attorney j. X. Scott
| from office, and stated that he had no
grounds for such action. The petition
by Looney asked that the court remove
Mr. Scott from Office on the ground
that he had not filed his report of
fines and fees earned at the first of
each term as required by law. The
court. in passing on the petition, stat
ed that Mr.. Scott had filed his report
for this term, and consequently there
was no grounds on which to even sus-
pend the states attorney. The court
Interpreted the law to contemplate that
if at the beginning of the term the re-
port was not filed. the court should no.
tify the states attorney, and suspend
him until the report was filed. If the
beginning of a second term of court
passed and the report had not been
filed, the court might remove the
states attorney from Office.
Might suspend Only.
The Interpretation of Judge Gcst
would signify that even had Mr.. Scott
not already filed his report for the
term, the only action which he could
have taken would have been to sus-
pend Mr.. Scott until the report was
filed. Judge Gest. in passing on the
petition. explained his Interpretation at
some length.

limit
| The system of SWindlinS.
One might imagine from the Union ;
version that the squanderinGs of Mr..
COX's deputy were taken in lump in
a night or two. and that there were no
means OF detecting the theft until the
raid was completed and the bird had
| flown. There were no means at Mr..
| COXs command TO ascertain what was
going on, evidently. and therein lies
| the evidence of Incompetence. The
misapprOpriatiOn of public funds did
not occur in a day. a night or in a few
weeks. II ran along for Il considerable
| length of time. and the man accounta-
bic to the people for the guardianship
of their strong box was incapable of
making the discovery or checking the
drain until it was too late. and the
county. in addition to suffering through
incOmpeteucy. was obliged to bear the
expense of sending its sheriff to far-off
British Columbia to take the fugitive
deputy and bring him back to Rock
Island. So much for the indisputable
evidence of Mr.. CoX's lack of qualifi-
cations for so responsible an office.
AZ T." Bondsmen.
Now as To the poor mouth story
about Mr.. Cox making good to his
bOndsmCn, who were obliged to make
up the county's loss of $4,000. And b.
the way, il was not the purpose to re
fer TO this painful phase of the pro-
ceedings. as the question of Mr.. CoX's
good intent has never been raised.
Nevertheless, since the Union has
dragged the subject of the bondsmen
and Mr.. COXs resources into the con-
troyersy. the facts may as we'll be
known. There is no more reliable
source from which these facts may
come than the records of the county
board dealing with the case. Hence

OF this amount Mr.. Cox paid back &c
his bondsmen the sum of $4,000, which
leaves him still indebted to each in
the sum of $S73.13. In the four years
that Mr. Cox was county treasurer he
had legitimate income from the pub
lie funds of $4,000, out of which he
made a partial payment to his bonds
men of $4,000. leaving him Si,f0O, or

In the way of assets, Mr.. Cox still
retains valuable farm of 1910 acres in
the upper end of the county. and which
is valued at from $4,000 TO SIP
900. He does not retain it as his home
stead. as he has been in business in

Clip the hair from the top OF the
horn when the calf is from two to
five days old, slightly moisten the
end of the stick Of caustic potash
with water, or moisten the top OF the
horn bud. and rub the tip of each
horn firmly with the potash for about
quarter of a minute, or until a
slight impression has been made on
the center of the horn. The horns
should be treated in this way from
two to four times at interval of five
minutes. II during the interval OF
five minutes after one or more APP
plicafions a little blood appears in
the center Of the horn. Il VIII then
only be necessary to give another
very slight rubbing with the potash.
The following directions should be
carefully observed The operation IL
