Moline Negro Named Robert
Lee Starts Out to Get His
Friend Taylor.
LATTER HIDES, HOWEVER
Is Finally Found by Police Officer
and Arrested - Both Are
Fined for Fighting.

W. w. Taylor and Robert Lee, two
colored fellows from Moline, drove to
this city yesterday afternoon and en-
gagged in fight which ended up with
the principals in the city Jail. Lees
wife was a third member of the party,
and they were all crowded into a
single seated rig. They had been
drinking more than was good for
them and were ready for any sort of
trouble that might come along.
Finding no one else to fight
with the two men finally got
after each other and Taylor
was forced out of the rig. After
getting what he thought was safe
distance away, he turned and made
some remarks which Lee construed as
being insulting to his wife. He
jumped out of the buggy and took
after the other negro, who made
dash for the fiat building on the cor
ner of Twentieth street and Fourth
avenue near which the trouble had oc-
Cured He went up stairs at a 60
mile an hour clip and when his pur-
suer arrived he was no where to be
found
Police Locate Him.
Lee made a search of the second
floor of the building and he was
aided by several who had witnessed
the trouble, but Taylor had mysteri-
ously disappeared. Finally City Elec.
trician William McNealy, who is on
the police force ex-officio, arrived and
Joined the searchers. He found the
frightened negro hiding in a bath
room and declared him under arrest.
The fellow objected to being arrested
by any other than an officer with the
regulation blue clothes and brass but
tons, and it took little forceful per-
suasion on the part of McNealy be-
fore the prisoner would. be quiet.
Constable Simon Goldburg happened
to show up at this time and he made
haste to flash his star on Taylor and
no more trouble was experienced from
him. In the meantime the patrol had
arrived and the pair of negroes was
hustled into it and taken to the sta
ton. The woman went along in the
rig in the custody of Goldburg.
Later on the two men were arraigned
before the police magistrate on
charge of fighting. Taylor was as
sessed SIS and costs and Lee got off
with SO and costs. Both paid. No
charge was lodged against the
woman

accomplishments of some other man
doing the same work, but using a diff
ferent brand of brains in the direct
ing OF his energy.
This thing applies to all lines of
business, but l want especially to call
attention to the farming line in this
talk. One farmer, we will say, goes
forth to prepare the land and plant a
crop of corn. His land is well drain
ed-the lowest spots under-drained
the field is free of stumps, rocks,
cross bitches. etc., the soil is fertile,
full of humus. and growing clover
or pea crop to provide more Of this
soil-improving product, when the
land is broken. His plows, teams
and harness are in good condition,
ready for business. With this well
equipped bank of energy he strikes
the field about Christmas, when the
weather is cool. the land in the finest
condition to pillow and pulverize. The
strong teams and big plows go at
the business with such irresistible
force that there is no hating until
the work is completed. Then when
the frOsts and rains of mid-winter
have done their work of pulverizing
the soil and March is approaching,
the thoughtful farmer again turns
the power of his good equipment
loose in the field. and the land is
soon narrowed at little expense. In
the meantime the teams have been
kept busy every day at profitable
work, such as manure hauling, clear
ing, Strengthening fences, bitches, etc.
Another attack of the same sort
and the field is a perfect seed bed,
every acre In splendid condition for
rapid work of planting. Then, as
sooh as the planting is over, watch
the big harrOws as they eat up the
work OF firming the top soil, killing
millions OF grass and weed seeds and
conserving moisture. Once, twice,
thrice, the work is done at a total
cost of not more than 60 cents per
acre. Then the weeder, at 10 cents

Ogden, Utah. Jan. 5.-One of the
most important features of the annual
convention of the National Wool
Growers association. which will get
down to work in earnest here tomor-
row. will be the report on the pro-
gress made i'm the gigantic warehouse
scheme launched by the association
more than year ago. The report Will
show gratifying success. millions OF
pounds of wool having been stored In
the big warehouse constructed in Chi
cago by the association. The object of
the storage system is to enable the
wool growers to hold their product for
better prices. thus placing them in
absolute control of the production. The
plan has worked out so successfully
that the present convention will con-

INSURGENTS TO
FIGHT LEADERS
Contest Being Carried to Home
Districts Of Insurgents
in House.
CONCRfSSMFN TO fight BACK
No Denial is Made Of Published lnti-
nations That Postoffice Appoint
ments Would be Withheld in
Some of the Districts.

Washington, Jan. Sit is expected
that the insurgent republican members
of the house will call a meeting at an
early day To give earnest considera-
tion To the situation arising from the
announcement that the administration
would no longer countenance "insurg-
ing" in congress and would withhold
bers. The most radical insurgent
leaders on the house side feel that with
the elections but a few months dis
tant, ii is a life and death struggle
with them and consequently when
forced into the fray they have no hesi-
tation about carrying the war to any
extent.
The effort to defeat insurgent con-
gressmen by starting a fight against
them in their home districts as was
reported yesterday, has already begun
in several districts in the west, and
has hit them hard. The congressman
so attacked, probably will make no
choice of weapons in defending them
selves. 1t was expected that some
statement would be forthcoming today
from the administration side as to its
attitude regarding the insurgents.
So far Postmaster General Hitch
cock has remained silent under the
statement emanating from Representa-
tive Miller, (Minn.) to the effect that
Hitchcock was holding up the appoint
ments of postmasters recommended
by insurgent republican members of
the house. The published intimations
that this course was being pursued
with reference to a number of con-
gressmen from Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin has so far brought no formal de-
nial from any administration authori-
ties.
