Rock Island.

Wilmerton, owner Of the Tri-City
Journal, and John Looney, owner Of
the Rock Island News, exchanged
seven shots across a street at each
other yesterday. Looney was slightly
wounded. Both men were arrested.
The shooting was the result Of q

yesterday for the first time since, and
they opened fire at sight Each says
the other was the aggressor.
Wilmerton and Looney were released
under $4,000 bond each on charge OF
assault with intent to kill.
The shooting took place in front Of
the Journal office. Wilmerton stood
in the Office door, while Looney took
refuge behind telephone pole. Looney
emptied his revolver, walked down the
street. reloaded. and was on the way
back when the police intercepted him.
He walked to the station without CIV
ing up his pistol His wound. which is
in the abdomen, is not serious.
W1lmerton. who says he was I'M
armed when Looney first shot at him,
fired twice and then retreated into his
office.
The men first quarreled q year ago
over the ownership of the Rock Island
News. in which both were then inter-
ested. Wilmerton finally got control
Of the News; but. before he took pos
session. stick of dynamite was ex-
ploded in the News press, wrecking It
and endangering the lives Of several
persons sleeping in the building. Will
merton changed the name of the paper
to the Tri-City Morning Journal and
removed to new quarters.
IN the last year there have been
three fires in Looney's building, the
last one damaging 1t and adjoining
property, causing a. total loss Of $780,
