DISPUTED BILL Is
BEFORE COURT JURY
Moline Grocer Resisting Payment of
$1,.OO Claim of Henry Darts
Sons.

A case which will probably require
a week or more to hear has started
before a jury in the circuit court
yesterday afternoon. 1t is a suit in
assumpsit against c. A. Chinlund Of
Moline in which the compliments are
Henry Darts Sons of this city. The
firm claims that it has an unpaid bill
of S1,7OO against the defendant and
it desires to force payment. To do
so every different item covering hun
dreds of sales must be proved. The
defense claims that it does not owe
any money. J. B. Oakleaf represents
Mr. Chinlund and Murphy & Larson
appear for the plaintiffs. Mr.. Chin
lund formerly conducted a grocery
store in Moline and the action grows
out of the sale Of groceries to him
by the local wholesale firm.
A bill for divorce was filed in the
office of the circuit clerk this morn
ing by Mrs Josephine Rohwedder of
this city. She charges her husband,
Jurgen Rohwedder, with cruelty.
They were married Sept. 6, 1909, and
they lived together until the 14th of
this month, at which time the wife
claims her husband forced her to
leave her home after he had abused
her and threatened her life. P. H.
Wells is her solicitor.

the Methodist Episcopal church.
Writer of GrOundhOs Letters.
Mr.. Heath is well known to readers
Of The Argus as president" Of the
Taylor Ridge Grounding society and
writer Of the proceedings" Of that or
ganization on Grounding day. For a
score of years he has never failed to
contribute on Feb. 2, to the columns
of this paper and his letters have al
ways been full of a refreshing and
quaint humor that reflected the mind
of their author. For Mr.. Heath was
a philosopher and his influence was all
for good. Originally there really was
a grounding society at Taylor Ridge
and Mr. Heath was one of its mem
bers. It was composed OF pioneers of
whom the late Uncle Billy" Bruner
and l. D. Nudge were among the most
active. Later, when death and remov-
ais took the members away, Mr.. Heath
kept the memory of the organization
alive as none other could have done,
in his annual letters. Now that he
has gone to join the "old hunter" and
the rest Of them the work of the Tay-
lor Ridge Grounding society may be
considered finished.

AT THE Y. M. C. A.

EnroIlments for the Y. M c. A. night
classes are coming in very slowly
This week is the time for those who
are interested to say so, for 1t should
be understood that the classes will not
be started unless there is a sufficient
number Of students to make 1t worth
while. The very low rates of tuition
announced are based on an enrolment
in each class Of at least eight students,
and the fees are expected to cover
merely the expense incurred in en-
ploying teachers. If there are not SO
many as eight students who wish to
take course, the association will not
be able to offer the course on account
of the expense. For this reason, it is
essential that the men who wish to
study in the classes should make their
purpose known at once. The associa-
ton offers these classes merely to
help the men who need such help, and
the whole charge for the courses is
simply enough to cover the extra ex-
pense involved, which makes 1t i'm.
possible to handle the work without at
least the enrolment Of the minimum
number of students.
Tomorrow evening the boys who at
tended B. G. M. last Sunday will have
their monthly social. The committee
in charge promises a good time.
Next Sunday afternoon the boys
will have a special bible study session
