Iowa Falls, May 31.-The body of
Michael Rush was found in the Iowa
river few miles southeast of this city,
yesterday. Coroner j. A. w. Burgess
of this city was summoned but upon
examination of the circumstances sar-
rounding the case, decided that COR
onor's inquest was unnecessary, as the
deceased had evidently come to his
death thru purely accidental agencies.
From the evidence brought out at the
examination held by Coroner Bur-
CESS, it was learned that Mr.. Rush,
who was about so years of age, had
left home early in the morning to go
to the river to fish. A boy was with
him about o'clock in the morning and
left Mr. Rush sitting on the bank fish
ing. About noon. his son and wife de-
cided to visit the river and see if it
was Mr.. Rush's intention to return
home for dinner. On arriving at the
place where he was left by the boy in
the forenoon, no trace of the man could
be found. On closer scrutiny, his body
was found lying in few feet of water.
From the surroundings. it indicated
that he had evidently fallen into the
water and drowned. A slight wound
on the forehead indicated that he might
have struck his head as he fell and
thus rendered his unconscious for The
time being and resulted in his being
drowned while in this helpless condi-
ton.
MIR. Rush had been resident of this
county for a great many years and Was
well known in the northern part of the
county. His wife died few years ago
and a family of grown children sur
vive him. Interment will take place
in Union cemetery but the funeral ar
engagements had not been completed

FEUD CAUSES A DUEL
OF ILLINOIS EDITORS
w. w. WIImerton Wounds John
Looney in Revolver Battle at
Rock Island.

Rock Island, ILL.,, Feb. 23-W. W.
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 a
personal feud which has been carried
on in print. The feud reached a climax
when Looney published a bitter attack
on Wilmerton and the members of his
family last Saturday. The men met
yesterday for the first time since, and
they opened fire at sight Each says
the other was the AGGRESSION.
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 a 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 un-
armed when Looney first shot at him,
flred twice and then retreated into his
office.
The men first quarreled 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. a stick Of dynamite was ex-
ploded in the News press, wrecking 1t
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 it and adjoining
property, causing total loss Of $780,
900. The fires were evidently incen-
diary, but like the blowing up of the
press. no clew has been found to the
perpetrator.
Three weeks ago Looney began pub
lication of a weekly paper Under the
name Of the Rock Island News in
which he attacked Wilmerton and his
family.
