OIL COMBINE MAY
LOCATE IN CITY
Rock Island Is Favored as
Headquarters Of New
Organization.
WILL HAVE LARGE FORCE
Meeting in Chicago Tomorrow to De-
eide Question-Local Company
Part of the Movement.

Rock Island may become the head
quarters of an independent oil com
bine that is in process of formation
according to statement of ]. NJ
Welch, an officer of the Illinois OF.
company, which has it's main office in
this city. A meeting to complete the
organization is to be held tomorrow
in Chicago. Mr. WEIGH will attend as
the representative of the local con
Germ.
The Illinois Oil company was grant
ed permission by the Rock Island city
council last evening to locate two TO-
00O-gallon oil tanks on the company's
property on First avenue between Fiji
teenth and Sixteenth streets. The
tanks are to be buried four feet be-
meath the ground and incased in con-
crete. There was some opposition to
the grant owing to the impression that
the location Of the tanks so close to
the business section might enhance
the fire hazard, but Mr.. Welch present
ed facts to indicate that the danger
would be less with the tanks buried
than now with the tanks exposed
The Rock Island Pillow company's
furnace could be placed over these
tanks and it would be impossible to
set the oil on fire. We have gone over
this ground before with other cities
and have proved up our case in every
instance Mr.. WEIGH told the council.
You must know that heat will not go
into the ground. 1t has been known,
however, to have penetrated to a
depth of IL inches, but we are going
three feet beyond that limit, so we
can't see possibly where there can be
any danger whatever.

stabbing ARRAY which may re-
suit In death to one of the partici-
pants occurred at O'Clock last night
at the Henry Dresser saloon on the
southeast corner of Seventeenth
street and Fourth avenue. Charles
Brandle of South Rock Island is at
st. Anthony's hospital in a precarious
condition, with three knife wounds
in his chest, and Bert Barnett of
Sears, who is alleged to have WELD
ed the knife, is at the county Jail
pending his securing $4,000 bonds.
The two men met at the saloon
and entered into a conversation in
which horse racing played a promi-
nent part. They fell into an argu-
ment and hot words were flashed
back and forth which ended up, &C
cordfng to witnesses, in Barnett's
throwing the lie into Brandle's
teeth. The latter struck Barnett in
the face and Barnett at once attacked
the other with knife which he had
in his hand and with which he was
cutting some bologna which he was
eating at the bar along with the beer
he was drinking.
Barnett's Story.
Barnett was arrested and he spent
the night in the police station. This
morning he was arraigned before

between r. r. Rees, Republican can

held in the court room last evening.
The wide publicity given the de-
bates brought q large crowd, which,
seemed to be in a critical frame OF
mind. 1t was evidently disposed to
give to each speaker absolutely fair
play. and the casual observer would
have been unable to determine wheth-
ar Republican or Democratic voters
predominated. Save for the ners
vous efforts Of q few well-trained
Democratic rooters in the front seats
applause was light on both sides, and
that was apparently called forth BY
some evidence OF cleverness or courI
axe in the speakers themselves, rath-
er than by any desire on the part OF
the audience to commit itself to the
principles they were advocating.

HAMILTON STILL AT LARGE

H H. Hamilton, the newspaper soli-
citor who operated in the towns of
Pocatello, Blackfoot and Idaho Falls
a month ago is still at large, although
he is much wanted. Last Saturday
the Idaho Register thought they had
located him at Dillon. and sent deputy
sheriff Bucklin there with a warrant
for his arrest, but 1t proved to be the
man who looked like him.
Hamilton obtained money here un-
der false pretenses, and at Idaho Falls
he forgedthe name of the Register to
get money on checks he collected for
them. .
Newspaper men and the public are
learning toilet stranger solicitors
alone, or at least not to pay them in
advance. 1t is an indiscreet thing to
do, to hand money over to a stranger
who claims to be acting for some local
arm, and especially when they would
not payit to the local firm until after
the service is performed. Those who
would do something for the stranger
which they would refuse to do for the
neighbor are in danger Of meeting
with losses.
Later--A message from Missoula
Montana, says Hamilton is lodged
there on q charge Of obtaining money
under false pretenses. and II not con-
yicted there they will let us have him
