Ing Him with False Representa-
tions In Deal, is Dismissed

The complaint against w. II. Jay. a
mining man, charging him with OBJ
tanning money under false representa-
tions, was dismissed yesterday in JUS
tice Summerfield's court.

ness, alleges he purchased 5000 shares
of mining stock from Jay for $500 last
year, the sale being made on the rep
resentation that Jay had purchased the
property from one Baxter for $4,000.
He also alleges Jay told him that there
were 500 tons Of ore on the dumps
and other statements to show the
property was of high value.
After considering the testimony in
the case Justice Summerfield dismissed
the charge on the grounds of a lack of
evidence.

ATTEMPT ON STREET CAR
Removed to Hospital, Physicians Re-
porting That He VIII Not
Survive.

Fearing arrest, a stranger giving
the name of Edward r. Froble, after
pawning a typewriter that he had
rented at the Underwood agency in
Rock Island, yesterday tried to end
his life while riding on street car
at Valley Junction. He swallowed
the contents of three-grain bottle
of morphine, afterwards taking a
quantity of chloroform. He was hur-
ried to a hospital and placed under
the care of physicians. 1t is reported
he cannot recover.
The Underwood company, with Of
fees in Rock Island and Davenport,
came within an ace of losing two
machines, one from each Office. We'd
nesday a man appeared at the local
Office and upon paying the rental
price of 50 for two weeks to the
local representative of the company,
F. H. Stuck, secured machine val
ued at SEQ. He stated his name was
Edward R. Froble and that he resid-
ed at Valley Junction. Iowa, but was
at the time stopping at the Rock Is
land house.

Yesterday Mr.. Stuck learned Fro
bic had left for parts unknown. He
then proceeded to hunt for the ma
chine, which he heard had been
pawned. The machine was located at
the Stephenson secondhand store on
Third avenue between Eighteenth
and Nineteenth streets. A search
warrant was issued by Justice of the
Peace J. H. Cleland and was given

Mr.. Stuck accompanied the constable
to the store. Stephenson said he pur-
chased the machine for S11.3O. Such
purchases, as is required by law,
should be properly reported to the
police, but this was not done in this
case.
One Caught at Des aIoines.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Stuck
learned from the Davenport repre-
sentative that the latter had also
been worked by a man giving the
same name, but it afterwards was
learned that the two men operating
in Rock Island and Davenport were
sailing under the same cognomen
The Davenport agent located his ma
chine with the Peoples Loan COM
pany, who had reported the purchase
TO the police department. He later
notified the headquarters of the COM

tried to work confidence game, and
shortly after the fellow who operated
in Davenport was caught in a similar
attempt at the Des Moines Office of
the company.

BREWERY RESISTS
CAPITAL STOCK TAX
Rock Island Company Files Petition
for an Injunc-
ton.

The latest of the corporations to
commence proceedings to determine
the validity of capital stock tax assess
ments is the Rock Island Brewing
company. Attorneys Connolly & Con-
nelly filed an application in the cir
cult court this morning asking Judge
w. H. Gest to grant an injunction re-
straining County Treasurer P. F. Cox
and Collector John Noftsker and his
assistant, William l. Lavender, from
levying on its property to secure pay
ment of the tax. The grounds on
which the injunction is asked are
about the same used by the other cor
porations which are fighting the tax.
They state that the levy is not valid,
that it is not proportionate, and that
it is not fair. No action was taken on
the application, it being agreed to
have it come before the court at the
same time that the other applications
now pending are set to come up.

example.

Hat off to the Mayor of Chester, Pa, who de-
clares officially that marriage, so far from be-
ing farce, is a very serious thing. In this the
grand army Of benedicts and matrons will heart
lily agree, the lovelorn will sigh their acquies
cence, and the young and frivolous alone will
enter dissent
Mayor johnson, while going home the other
evening, saw the street a boisterous company
of merrymakers, who had captured a newly
married bride and bridegroom and holding the
honeymooners captive, at the head of the pro-
cession, were making night hideous with coarse
jest, horseplay and ribald song. These delicate
bridal attentions, it would seem, are common oc-
currences in Pennsylvania, where the batting of
brides is considered infinite Jest, but the
Mayor came to the rescue, called out the police
department and routed the mob rescued the bride
and groom, put them in cab, and retired with
the consciousness of virtue exercised in GOOD
cause Thereupon the Mayor issued the follow
ing statement:
Marriage is no farce and must not be treated
as such. In the future, so long as l am the
chief executive of Chester there shall be no Der
mits issued for parades or public demonstrations
that will have tendency to annoy newly-mar-
ried couples. Such matters should not be treat
ed lightly"
To Southern ideals, the taste displayed in
what are evidently common occurrences of the
sort is inexplicable, it is true in so far as they
serve to justify the invasion by strangers of the
bridal privacy. Any such attempted demonstra-
ton with us would not only call for the police
but would leave corpse or so for the atten-
ton of the coroner. But at bottom the instinct
which in Chester finds more brutal manifesto
ton in the South also has gained Roadway. There
has been lost somethoing of the old time courtesy
to the participants in newly contracted mar
riage, that contented itself with the feasting and
merrymaking of the bridal party, and left the I'M
tried voyagers on an open sea to find their way
about their ship unmarried by coarse attentions
and ribald conspicuousness. When they Jared
abroad in the young amaze of love, the most that
they excited was a covert smile, or in the. case
of young girls an audible but snothered litter.
