the streets from over 100 shattered

as they usually are at that hour of the

which glass was broken, but none suf-

Much Property Damaged.
The property damage is estimated at
various amounts. some placing the fig
ure at $500, and others computing the
damage as high as $500. The fact
that many of the broken windows were
decorated with elaborate signs, some
in gold leaf and others in raised let
tering, makes the damage more diff
rult to estimate
A count of the broken windows

DR.. West went to- the hospital a week

lion of his education in the public
schools of that city. He afterward
studied at the naval academy. An

medical college. Then he further
fitted himself for his life work by
serving as an inferno in ST. Mary's
hospital, Brooklyn, and as physician
at the Bloomingdale asylum and in
several New York hospitals He rap
idly rose until he was recognized as
one of the leading young physicians
| in the city of New York. In the
midst of these successes he was
stricken with serious illness which
met only laid him aside for time, but
made it necessary for him to confine
himself to Office work Nearly seven
years ago he came to Rock Island

his office with the Woodmen. a posi-.

United States army. who was sent TO
the Federal penitentiary at Fort Leaven-
worth last Saturday by Judge Lands to
serve a two-year sentence for stealing
government checks.
The legal proceedings against the Judge

dis issued z mftJimUs committing the
army captain 10 the penitentiary at Leav-
enworth in the face OF writs Of super
sedeas and error which had been issued
by Judge GrossCUp. Applications for a
writ Of habeas corpus VIII be made by
Attorneys Adams and Teatman to-moT-
row, and in all probability Keller will be
taken from the prison at Fort Leaven-
worth and brought back TO Chicago the
last OF the week.
For some time Judge Lands and Judge
GrosscUp have not been on speaking
terms. and the breach became wider when
Judge GrosscUp wrote the decision for
the Court Of Appeals reversing the So
240.000 fine imposed BY Judge Lands on
the Standard OIL Company. The suit to
be fled by Capt Keller against Judge
