ROCK ISLAND TRIES
OUT NEW ENGINES
First Consignment of Locomotives
Being Tested on Iowa and Hi
noiS Divisions.

The Rock Island system is now re-
ceiving consignments of the monster
freight engines ordered some time
ago. These locomotives are being
tested in double-headers on the Iowa
and Illinois divisions and are at
tracing much attention Judging
from reports, the new engines are
doing very effective work, and are
pulling heavy trains at heretofore I'M
attainable speed.
The new locomotives are LARGER
than the famous 1905 having I'M
usually large cylinders and eight
drive wheels. They are also equipped
with what railway mea call the
monkey" motion.
The new passenger engines of the
500 series are also making good rec
ords in their tests. These engines
are capable of pulling ; or more
passenger coaches at an average
speed of so miles per hour Both
the new passenger and freight en-
gines are attractive in design, spec
ial pains having been taken to make
them handsome in appearance as well
as powerful.

WANTS TO LICK
SOME BELGIAN
w. H. Deters Has a Crouch
Against that Race and De-
sires Satisfaction.
ISSUES WIDE CHALLENGE
Will Meet Huskiest Belgian in City
of Rock Island in an Encount-
er in the Manly Art.

w. H. Deters of this city, who is
himself of German extraction, an
nounces that he has got a crouch on
against the Belgian-American resi-
dents Of Rock Island, and accordingly
he has issued a challenge in which he
states that he is willing 70 meet the
best Belgian in the city in an encoun-
ter in the manly art of self-defense.
If anyone of the challenged race takes
it upon himself to answer the chal-
lenge. Deters says he will arrange the
match and have it take place at some
point on the river where there will be
no interference from officials.
Deters was formerly employed in
fishing on the river in this vicinity,
and he says a party Of Belgians got
into the habit of shooting holes in the
cans which he used as marks for his
lines so that they would sink and
leave the lines unmarked Deters
says he caught several of the offend
ers and trounced them. and the result
was their fellow cOuntrymen put De
ters' picture down in their memory
and determined to get even.
Looked for Trouble.
Deters knew that he was not what
might be called popular with the Bel
gians and on Christmas he set out to
see just how unpopular he was. He
visited several places where they
were engaged in dancing, and before
long he was recognized A general
melee followed, and Deters says he
was hit over the head with five beer
glasses. the marks of which he still
bears. He managed to get away. and
now he says he is aching for a chance
to get even Accordingly. he has an
nOunced that he wants 10 meet the
biggest. huskiest and best scrapper
among the former subjects of the late
King Leopold in the city. Deters says
he will get William OBrien of New
York to train him for the encounter.
and. although he admits that William
is unknown in the boxing world. he is
convinced that he will be able to train
him tDeters) SO that he will not be
second best in the affair Anyone eli
gible TO accept Dete-s' challenge can
do so, he states. by corresponding with
him at 700 Second avenue.
