Say Woman lie mpostor-Carrying
her 2-months-old child in her arms
and walking from house to
house seeking financial aid, Mrs.
Cotton, Moline widow, who states
that her husband died here about
four or five months ago is charged
with misrepresenting facts concern
ing herself by the police and police
matron of Moline. Mrs. Cotton first
made her appearance in Rock Island,
where she applied for help at the
association building. According to
Miss Ramser, the head of the home,
the woman was offered work and
free care of her child during the day
time. This Mrs. Ranger claims the
woman refused. Today Police Ma
tron O'Connor received word through
the police department that the wo-
man is seeking aims and aid in Mo-
line. She is alleged to tell those
/ from whom she seeks aid that she
was presented with the blackening
she endeayors to sell by Miss Ram
ser OF Rock Island. This, Miss Ram
ser states, is untrue. she never hav-
ing given the woman the outfit. Mrs
O'Connor requests that persons from
whom the woman seeks aid should
send the woman to her at the police
| station. as the woman has refused
| the offer of work and is thereby
counted undeserying of help.
Moline After County FaIr-Moline
merchants are agitating movement
whereby Moline would secure the
Rock Island county fair permanent
! ly, Joslin having threatened to give
up the enterprise owing to the poor
crowd that has attended during the
past week. 1t is estimated that this
city could easily form stock COM
pany, sell shares and build a fair
grounds that would attract farmers
from all over the county. The move
ment is as yet in its infancy and has
not as yet reached a stage where
anything definite can be stated. The
business men of the city have been
wanting the fair here for years but
have never taken the initiative and
gone after it in the proper manner
