MEETING CALLED
Arrangements to Be Made To-
morrow Evening for Sur
vey for Interurban.
TO LOWER END OF COUNTY
Committee Recently Appointed VIII
Confer at Buffalo Prairie
Delegation from Here.

A meeting of the executive COM
mitee appointed at Buffalo Prairie
one week ago to arrange for surveys
for the interurban that the farmers
of the lower end of the county have
taken the lead in promoting will be
held at the hall at Buffalo Prairie
tomorrow evening. The money to
make the surveys has been raised by
subscription and no time is to be
lost in getting data covering the pro-
posed routes.
This gives Rock Island its second
opportunity to manifest some interest
the enterprise, this being the sec
ond meeting that has been announced
in advance here.
Show We Are ON Map.
There should be a good sized dele
cation of representative citizens on
hand to impress the people of the
lower end with the fact that we are
still on the map and DESTROYS of Sc
curing closer relations with the rural
districts, and 1t is gratifying to know
that arrangements are in progress to
have a number of the representative
business men of Rock Island present.
AS The Argus has repeatedly men
toned, Muscatine is out to get this
road and is interested rather in keep
ing 1t away from Rock Island than
in having it built in this direction.
There is no doubt that the proposed
road is nearer now than ever before
and this city must be heard from with
a definite proposition if it is to re-
ceive much consideration as a ter
minal.

ent and assistants. The men were
dead when they reached the surface.
1t is believed they were dead or dying
when placed in the cage. None sur
vived to tell the story
The mouth of the shaft was sur
rounded by hundreds of frantic wom-
en-, children and men. Many tried TO
enter and some were carried away I'M
conscious from the smoke fumes after
attempting this. For two hours mine
officials tried to devise means of help
ing the imprisoned miners and finally
decided the only way to check the
flames was to board over the entrance.
The opening was almost Theoretically
sealed.
Originated I'm Hay.
The fire originated in q pile of hay
and tim0ers. Smoke, flames and gases
made the exit impossible. Outside
heroes contributed FIVE to the list of
IL known dead. Alexander Norberg,
pitman, descended in the shaft and
carried the bodies of four men into
cage, the only way of escape. AS the
last was carried in, Norberg fell un-
conscious across the body. He was
dead as a result of suffocation as were
all of his companions when the cage
reached the surface. Those who en-
tered with him were John Bundy, SUI
perintendent John Flood. Isaac Lewis,
merchants in Cherry, and Dominec
Fononti
That the prisoners retreated to the
furthermost ends of the veins was the
statement Of the miners who escaped.
The latter included only those near
the main shaft. They declared a care

bundle of hay used to feed the mules.
Afterward two miners threw the burn
ing mass ON a cart and started toward
the main shaft $50 feet away. Before
1t was reached the explosion occurred.
Entrance from the vein was filed
with smoke and flames. Those near
est the cage were hoisted out, but after
four trips the cages ceased moving.
volunteers Were Many.
Superintendent Bundy in the mean
time leaped into cage, calling Nor
berg and two miners. The latter were
afraid and from a small group of resi-
dents came volunteers eager to assist
in the rescue.
Flood. Lewis, Fonenti and Rubinski
descended. The next trip upward car

scious bodies of three of the rescuers-

MISSOURI CITY
SEEKING ORDWAY
Appears as Though st. Joe
Would Have First Turn at
Prosecuting.
REoUIsITIoN FROM DENEEN
Defendant Institutes Habeas Corpus
Proceedings I'm Chicago-Hear-
ing Wednesday.

Close onto the trail of the Davenport
authorities who have secured the nee
essary requisition papers for H. N.
Ordway's extradition from the state OF
Illinois comes the move of the ST. Joe
(Mo.) bank officials and legal author
tiles who Saturday afternoon were
granted requisition by Governor De
neen for Ordway's detention in that
city. The request for the papers was
signed by the governor of Missouri.
and the intention is to take Ordway
back to that city, where he viii be ar
raigned on the charge of uttering forg-
ed instruments on several of the st.
Joe banking institutions. Not only
will Ordway be taken back to that city,
if the efforts of the St. Joe authorities
are successful, but ]. B. Hardebeck,
alleged to be a partner of Ordway III
the long string of forgeries claimed TO
have been perpetrated by these two
men and the gang of which they are
supposed to be the controlling spirit,
will also be extradited.
One Check for S47B.
II is alleged that Ordway and his
partner, Hardebeck, passed several
checks on the st. Joe banks, one In
particular for the sum of S475, on
which instance he will be tried in the
event of his extradition TO that city.
1t is claimed that on Aug. %, the two
men presented a certified check for
d. Brady and drawn on the Third Ma
tional bank Of st. Louis. The check
was made payable to z. w. Wilkins
and was presented to the Citizens
bank of st. Joe. On this forged In
strument the two received a payment
of SAYS, on the misrepresentation by
one Of the men that he was Wilkins, in
whose favor the check was drawn.
That Moline, Davenport and st. Joe
are not the only cities that are hot on
the trail of the alleged forger and head
of forceful gang of forgers, is evinced
from the fact that Alton, Ill, has taken
steps through which it is hoped to Sc
cure Ordway's presence in that city.
1t is claimed that he passed several
checks during HIS brief sojourn in that
city which have turned out to be
worthless.
Predicts Fight.
Night Captain Pacl1y Phelan OF Dav-
export, who was delegated to make the
trip to Chicago with the second war
rant issued for Ordway's arrest, and
which was drafted in Rock Island, has
returned, but did not return with his
man. Mr.. Phelan found that the Rock
Island warrant would have but little
chance to be served, as the Davenport
requisition papers had arrived on the
scene and they would be given prece-
dence. However, he predicts that be-
fore Ordway will submit to coming
here to face the charges which are be-
ing preferred against him, he will put
up a stiff fight and will engage com
petent legal advice to fight his extra
dition.
The hearing OF the habeas corpus
proceedings which hsl been instigated
by the legal counsel engaged by. Ord
way has been set for Wednesday, and
in view of this action it is certain that
Ordway will not be returned to Dav-
export before the latter part Of this
week.

der Did Not Cause Disaster.

Springfield. ILL.,. Nov. 15.-Dan
Clark, member of the state executive

JOHN JOSEPH DISMISSED
Ofense Committed In Chicago, JUS
tice Holds He Has Not Jurisdiction.

The case against John Joseph.
which was tried in Justice w. F.

missed for want OF jurisdiction. The
transaction took place in Chicago,
and so was out of the jurisdiction or
the justice. Joseph was arrested a

bezzlement on the complaint of
George Peters. 1t was charged that
Joseph took $3.50 from Peters H.
A. Weld represented the complainant
