TRIALS
AGAIN CONTINUED
Hauberg and Schmid Still Have
Criminal Charges Hanging
Over Heads.
FOR TAKING GAM OUTFITS
Postponement Asked by Assistant
States Attorney Because of
Work in Circuit Court.

Attorney John H. Hauberg of Mo-
line and Constable August Schmid of
South Rock Island were in the court
of Justice G. P. Nissen at 9 o'clock
this morning ready for trial on charges
of larceny charged against them by
Jake and Phillip Schaum, proprietors
of the Diamond and Turf gambling
houses, 1915 Second avenue and 119
Eighteenth street, respectively. As
sistant States Attorney H. NJ. Schriver
appeared to prosecute, but explained
that he was busily occupied with Grim
inal matters in the circuit court, and
requested that there be a continuance
for 10 days, and it was granted. Ac-
cordingly, Hauberg and Schmid are
now supposed to have their hearing
Oct. 81, beginning at 9 o'clock in the
morning. before Justice Nissen. On
Oct. 1, when the cases of Hauberg and
Schmid were called for hearing, JUS
tice Nissen was asked by States At
torney L. NJ. Magill to enter an order
of dismissal, but this he refused to do,
setting new precedent in criminal &C
tions in Rock Island county, inasmuch
as the state prosecutor is ordinarily
recognized by the courts as having
jurisdiction in such proceedings.
Participated In Raid.
Hauberg and Schmid participated in
the raid upon the Diamond and Turf
resorts. They were armed with search
warrants issued by Justice ]. H. Gle
land. Justice Cleland also issued an
order for the destruction of the prop
erty seized from the Diamond and
Turf gambling rooms and Constable
Schmid was in the act of touching a
match to the outfits on the levee when
he was arrested, together with Attor-
ney Hauberg, on the~larceny warrants
sworn before Justice Nissen by the
Schaum brothers. Among the gam
bling outfits there were fixtures that
were used for the furnishing of the
rooms. These included pictures, chairs
desks, etc. Under the guise of regain
ing possession of their personal prop
erty on writs of replevin issued by Mis-
sen the Schaums were able to recover
their gambling outfits. and these were
whisked to Davenport for storage, TAX
ing the same route as the Mcbride
paraphernalia took.

DRUNK ASSAULTS
POLICEMAN GABLE
Thomas Walsh Finds InduIging in
Fighting Liquor Costly
Business.

Thomas Walsh went on a costly
toot yesterday afternoon, it costing
him something over $40 to get out of
the trouble in which he forced him
self. He went to the Cross Country
saloon on Second avenue and attempt
ed to drink all the booze in the place.
His over-indulgence made Thomas
drowsy and he insisted upon using the
saloon as sleeping quarters The pro-
prietor objected strenuously to this,
but with no effect, and finally the DO
lice were summoned. Officer William
Gable went to the saloon and awaken
ed Walsh AMI advised him to beat it
to his own downy couch. Walsh re-
fused and expressed his opinion of
the officer or any one else who was
so unkind as to awaken him from his
snooze. Thereupon Officer Gable
threatened him with arrest il he did
not leave the saloon, but the threat
failed to strike terror to the heart OF
Walsh. Accordingly Gable placed the
fellow under arrest and started him
Off to Jail Walsh walked quietly
enough until he rounded the corner at
of the police station. Then he sud
denly hauled off and walloped the cop
one in the kisser. A battle royal fol-
lowed for a few minutes and then
again Walsh walked quietly along I'M
der the persuasion of the officers fists
and club. A charge of assault and bat
terry was preferred against him by the
officer and he was fined $50 and
costs. which same he paid this morn
ing upon SOLDERING up.

Interesting
Items of
the
McCabe'S
Sale

The unadvertised bargains
at the 41st opening sale are
many times more numerous
than those which can be print
ed.
The millinery department of
this store with over 80 expert
trimmers and salespeople is
crowded to its capacity.
Were there ever so many
people interested in dress
goods as are swarming around
our dress goods counters
these days?
The roses distributed to the
visitors at McCabe's store to-
day were mostly of the Rick
mond red variety.
Free entertainment is fur

of eager buyers just walk

skirts and waists.
Probably the greatest corset
business done anywhere in
western Illinois is right-here
in this McCabe store-make a
note of the activities here.
The festivities in connec-
ton with the sale inaugurating
the beginning of our 41st year

the offspring of a Mr.. and Mrs. Knittle,
living on Second avenue near Four

learned that Knittle was the little
ones father, but that the woman was
not even married to the man. Cora
Bennett claims that she was employed
as housekeeper, Knittles wife having
separated from her spouse sometime
ago, leaving him to take care of the
child which was born TO them. Knit

LACK OF MONEY.

Was a Godsend in This Case.
1t is not always that a lack of
money is a benefit.
"A lady of Green Forest, Ark,
owes her health to the fact that she
could not pay in advance the fee de-
manded by a specialist to treat her
for stomach trouble. In telling of
her case she says:
81 had been treated by four diff
ferent physicians during 10 years of
stomach trouble. Lately 1 called
on another who told me he could not
cure me; that 1 had neuralgia of the
stomach. Then 1 went to a special
ist who told me l had catarrh of the
stomach and said he could cure me
in four months but would have to
have his money down. l could not
raise the necessary sum and in my
extremity l was led to quit coffee
and try Postum
SD 1 stopped coffee and gave
Postum thorough trial and the re-
suits have been magical. 1 now sleep
well at night, something l had not
done for long time; the pain in
my stomach is gone and 1 am a diff
ferent woman.
81 dreaded to quit coffee because
every time l had tried to stop it 1
suffered from severe headaches, so
1 continued to drink it although 1
had reason to believe it was injur-
ious to me, and was the cause of my
stomach trouble and extreme ner-
vousness. But when 1 had Postum
to shift to it was different.
ITO my surprise l did not miss
coffee when 1 began to drink Pos
tum.
Coffee had been steadily and
surely killing me and / didn't fully
realize what was doing it until l quit
and changed to Postum"
