DEAN QUINN URGES
UNITY IN LAW MOVE
Pastor of st. Joseph's Further Com
ments on Defiance of Gam
bIers in City.

Dean ]. ]. Quinn, in his sermon of
yesterday morning at st. Joseph's
church, further impressed upon the
members of his congregation the crisis
through which their city was passing
in dealing with the lawless element,
as instanced by the resistance the lat
ter were making in the courts TO the
end that they may triumph and be per-
mitted to continue to defy decency and
morality. Dean Quinn inferred from
the holiness of the gamblers and their
ilk that they did not mean to give any
heed to public sentiment so long as
they were able to win favorable wink
from the officials whom the people had
elected to protect their property and
homes. 1t was a time when all Chris
tian men and women should stand
shoulder to shoulder and work for the
cleansing of the city.

CARELESS HUNTERS
HIT HUMAN TARGETS
South Rock Islanders Are Peppered
While in Pasture on the F. j.
Bachmann Farm.

Careless hunters, shooting appar-
emily rather to hear the reports of the
guns than with the object of hitting
anything, peppered a party of South
Rock Islanders on the farm of F. J.
Bachmann on Thirty-eighth street yes
terday. Mr.. Bachmann and Carl Wal
helm were both struck by stray No 6
shots, but not seriously injured. Sew
eraI shots were fired in a short space
of time and had it not happened that
those struck had their backs toward
the hunters they might have been
struck in the face and seriously hurt
Three men who were seen in the vi
cinity carrying guns and apparently
all more or less under the influence
of liquor are believed to have done the
shooting.

SUITS NOW TOTAL =
OVER HALF MILLION
Another Action Begun Against Wis
itatiOn Sisters in Federal
Court at Peoria

Another suit was filed in the United
States court at Peoria Saturday
against the unfortunate Sisters of Wis
itation of Rock Island.
At the last term of court a judgment
was rendered against the same insti-
tuition for $4,000 and for the coming
term three other suits have been filed.
These are all due to the peculiar finan-
cial juggling of P. J. Kieran of Pitts
burg, Pa, who involved several Roman
Catholic institutions in debt in the
course of his speculations and that at
ROCK Island was the heaviest sufferer.
1t is stated that the judgments against
that one institution, IL all are realized,
will aggregate 100000.
The suit filed Saturday is to recover
$4,000 and is for a draft OF bill of ex-
change which Kieran drew on Jan. 29,
1908, payable to the order of himself
and which he induced Mother Agnes
to endorse. The draft is now in the
possession of the Assets Realization
company, a New Jersey corporation,

SUNDAY HOLDUP
IN CIGAR STORE
John N. Lempfert Surrenders
Cash and Diamond at the
Point of a Revolver.
THREE PULL OFF THE JOB
Enter Establishment on Twentieth
Street at 1880 in Evening-No
Oew to Robbers.

John N. Lempfert, proprietor Of
cigar store on Twentieth street, was
the victim of a bold holdup last night
at 1920. A diamond stud and $33 in
cash were taken from him by three
men who entered his store and robbed
him at the point of a revolver.
Shortly before the holdup two men
entered the store and purchased to.
bacco. Mr.. Lempfert noticed that one
of them eyed very closely the diamond
stud which he wore in his tie, but his
suspicious were not aroused to any
great extent. A few minutes later the
two men returned with a third and
one of them went to a closet In the
rear of the room. He made an ex-
cuse for calling Mr.. Lempfert back
there and one of the men went back
with him. When he reached the clos
ct, a revolver was poked under his
nose and he was ordered to hoist his
hands and face the wall.
Work Done Quickly.
The robbers had the drop on him and
he had to obey. They made short work
of going through his pockets after TAX
ing the diamond stud from his tie; in
fact they went through him so quick
ly that they overlooked some bills
which he had on his person. The third
man of the party had in the meantime
tapped the cash drawer and obtained
$S3. He, too, was in a hurry, and
dropped $1.10 on the floor, where 1t
was found this morning. Lempfert in
the meantime was compelled to stand
with his face to the wall at the rear
of the store. The whole job took but
a minute and then the three robbers
walked out of the store and disap-
peared. Lempfert hurriedly notified
the police, but they were unable to
get any trace Of the men.
