Fighting the Majority as Well as Pro-
gress Never an EnviabIe
Position.

AS time passes the obstructionists
in the recently annexed territory in
South Rock Island are realizing more
and more that in fighting the annexa-
ton they are working injury only to
themselves. The disposition to shift
the responsibility of the fight against
the majority of the residents of the
tract involved and of the majority of
the people of the city is also more
manifest. 1t is the old story oft re.
peated, and none of those few who
feel opposed to the annexation propo.
sition are inclined 10 shoulder the
contest and pay the cost of fight.
The Pending Proceeding.
There is pending in the circuit court
quo warranto suit to compel the city
TO show by what authority the city
exercises jurisdiction over the terri
tory, and report has it that even those
who have assumed responsibility dc
not care to press the suit and lead the
very unpopular fight against th e deci
sion of the majority.
Litigation is costly, even to the sue
eessful side. and in this instance il
would be costly in more ways thar
lone.

The city council last evening adopt

city hall building. The appropriation
ordinance allots to the several funds
the sum of $S6,9122G. and the resolu-

general tax levy, appropriates for the
different accounts the sum of 1853 .603-

prepared by the mayor and city clerk
We're adopted with but little discus
sion and the detailed figures are pub

different improvements already under

provided for. and the various current
expense funds remain practically un-
changed The street fund is $1,000
larger. the health fund is increased a

fund. The sidewalk funds are all
slightly reduced from last years fig

Long View park, and while this is
much less than has been appropriated
annually for two years, il is $500
short of the amount the park commits
sioners desired to have appropriated
for the park. The fire department
fund is increased. and the light fund
remains as it was last year. The Sew

provided for the sum of $1,000 being
appropriated for the beautifying and
care of this new stretch of City park.

for sewer district No. 1 of the south

that he just wanted to get little
money to get out of the country. He
id that he had broken his parole
and was looking for the officers to
come and take him back to the re-
form school, and that would mean
fourteen months more. He intend
ed to sell the watches and guns to
the Japs and use the money to get
out OF the country.
Eaton is some years younger than
his brother. rim, but looks older. and
the older brothers face is mild com,
pared to the features of this boy.
McFarlan is older than Eaton and
has a harden expression. If that were
possible He is dwarfed in stature,
with dropped shoulders. and looks;
like the hunchback of Notre Dame.
He is now wanted at Fort Collins for
the robbery of secondhand store
there. and woman he calls his wife
is now serving time in Denver for
selling the watches which We're stolen
at Fort Collins. McFarlan will not
be tried until Monday, as an accom-
plice IN the crime. The court has
appointed Attorney Hatch to defend
him.
There are but few towns in the
country where fewer criminals get
away than in Greeley. although our
