tice That Her Bruises Were Result
of AN Accident.

George Etzel was arrested Saturday

him with assault and battery, and

him. The evidence submitted showed
that Etzel had come home intoxicated,
confined his wife in her room, and af-
ter shutting the doors and windows,
proceeded to beat her severely, as the
marks on her face and body indicated.
Etzel tried to convince Justice Wells
that the marks on his wife's face had
been received In fall down some
steps, but the justice was unconvinced,
and Etzel was held under 800 bond
to keep the peace for six months, and
was fined 500. He was sent to jail

nishes the bond required.

THOUGHT HURT
WAS THE CAUSE
OF HIS DEATH
So Coroner Eckhart Was Called
on to Investigate Death of
Joseph De Slower.
WAS INJURED IN A FIGHT
Jury, However, Finds No Connection,
and the Cases Against Two
Men Are Dismissed.

Joseph De Slower died Saturday
night at st. Anthony's hospital. where
he had been confined but two days.
May 80 De Slower was one of the prin-
cipals in a fistic encounter in the
west end of the city and it was claim
ed that he had received an injury
(which might have been partial
cause of his death. Accordingly Cor
oner l.. V. Eckhart was notified, and
an inquest was held. In the meantime
the police arrested Paul Powell and
Alphonse De Cleene on charges of as
sault with intent to kill, pending the
decision of the coroner's jury.
Autopsy In Held.
In order to definitely determine the
character of the mans injury and to
what extent it had been a cause of
death. an autopsy was conducted by
Drs. Joseph De Silva. A. E. Williams
and Alfred Stocker. The physicians
testified that death more probably was
due to peritonitis and complications
than to any injury, but that the in
jury, if there had been one. possibly
superinduced the cause of death The
jury accordingly returned a verdict
finding death to have been from I'M
known causes, and on the recommen.
dation of the states attorney, who
assumed charge of the inquest, the
two men were released and the cases
against them dismissed.
Hurt In Fight.
1t seems that May 20 the dead man
and the other two, one of them, Pou
well, is his brother-in-law, engaged. il
an encounter near a saloon on Third
avenue and Fifth street. 1t was
claimed that DeSlover had been struck
and kicked. and it was the effect OF
the kick which was thought to have
been factor in causing death, as the
man was supposed to have sustained
an injury to certain organs.
The day following the fight, De
Slower had Powell and De Cleene ar
rested for assault and battery. ant
each was fined SIS and costs and re
leased 1t was not until few days
ago that De Slover's condition became
serious and he was taken to the hos
pital.
Funeral IL Held.
De Slower was native of Belgium
where he was born in 1861. He i
survived by his wife and three chill
6ren. He resided on Fourteenth ave
nue. and Sixth street.
The funeral was held this Afternoon
at O'Clock from the st. Pauls churcl
or Twenty-fourth street. Burial too!

DECLARE CONFIDENCE IN

The following testimonial, which has

Inc following testimonial, which has
been prepared and offered for publica-
ton, is a highly complimentary vindi-
cation of States Attorney j. K. Scott
1t comes from leading business and
professional men as well as represen-
tatives of the clergy of Rock Island,
city and county, irrespective of parti-
sanship, and is endorsed in view of
persistent assaults that have been
made upon his character and upon the
conduct of his Office:
We, the undersigned, citizens of
Rock Island county, Independent of
any political affiliations, and bearing
in mind the continued misrepresenta-
ton of States Attorney John X. Scott.
take this opportunity to publicly ex-
press our endorsement of the conduct
of the Office of states attorney of this
county, by John X. Scott. at a time
that gentleman was submitted to the
most outrageous personal attacks from
| an unreliable source.
Mr.. Scott has not only roved him
self in every way to be q faithful and
efficient public servant, but he per
formed the functions of his office in
a manner that showed him to be I'M
partial and fearless in the discharge
tof his duty, when it was this impair
TALLY and fearlessness, this refusa
to be handled" which caused the at
tacks. We acknowledge that above a.
| the power of the states attorney of
flee contrary to the malign influence
referred to. has been used always IL
the interest of the people and not a
the 'behest of that influenc or an.
Other individual. We believe that Mr.
Scott is a man who can not be infiu
enced to do other than that which h
is satisfied is absolutely right in tn
discharge of his duties.

The Destiny Of Small Towns.

Our nelghbor. the town of Land
grove, Is 10 be highly commended for
its effort to become entirely free from
debt The taxes raised In that town
both last year and this year were eX'
cessiyely heavy; but IL was necessary
to raise the extra amount IN order
TO obtain the aid granted by the legis.
lature Of 1906, obtained through the
energetic work of Landgroye's repre-
sentative. G. W.. Harris. The debt Is
likely TO be entirely wiped out by the
end OF this year. But after that has
been accomplished, We shall be inter
ested in learning what course the
town will take. There seems to be
quite strong sentiment among its
inhabitants that the town disorganize
and whole or a part OF II become an
nexed to Londonderry The reason
given for such a movement Is that the
expenses of maintaining town or
ganiZatiOn would be burden upon the
small number OF inhabitants therein.
OF course the time for making a move
of that kind Is when the town is free
from debt as no town would care to
more. as the matter would have to be
taken up in The legislature, il is none
too early for the inhabitants OF the
towns Interested to be discussing IL.
Londonderry Sitter
The Banner has often urged that
this action should be taken by from a
dozen TO a score of Vermont towns but
this Is the first time we have ever
heard of a town itself proposing TO
disorganize and join itself to larger
neighbor.
We are thorough believers in the
small towns of Vermont and have
never been of those who have wanted
to cut OFF their representation in the
legislature because OF their compare
tive mimportance but there are few
towns in the state which are so eX-
ceedlngly small that IL is good deal
Of farce for them TO continue topper
form the functions OF town for SO
little purpose as they now do. and
these towns should be joined to some
larger neighbor and could be without
injury TO the people or property OF
either town. The proposal made by
l.andgrove is good one and should
be seriously considered by number
OF towns like Glastonbury, St George
Baltimore, Somerset, Brunswick,
Brookline, Maidstone and Others Of
the same class.
