the first New England Thanksgiving

Later these hardy adventures

Although not set down in the laws,
the reunion feast became an informal

little doubt that Thanksgiving day as

ping the train and avoiding n wreck
despite the rain or blows from this
huge fail of steel thei= act brings forth
a greater measure of praise than al
most any other form of bravery that
the railroad knows.
Only the other day one of the driv-
ing rods of fast passenger locomotive
broke while the train was running
more than sixty miles an hour down
the steep grades of Pickerel mountain.
In an instant the whirlins bar Of steel
had smashed the cab and broken the
controlling mechanism, so that 1t was
impossible TO bring the train to stop
by ordinary means. The great locomo-
tive lunged forward like runaway
horse that had thrown its rider. In
some way, however. Lutz. the engineer.
had escaped injury. He crept TO the
opposite side of the cab and climbed
out through the little window upon
the boiler to try TO reach some OF the
controlling apparatus from the outside.
He was working himself astride along
the scorehing boiler when suddenly the
engine struck curve. which it took at
terrific speed The shock half threw
the engineer from his perilOus position,
but he saved himself by Grasping the
bell rope. Then he worked himself
down along the uninjured side of the
swaying locomotive to where he could
open one of the principal steam valves.
4 cloud of VapOr rushed forth with a
tremendous roar. Although robbed of
its power, the locomotive did not slack
en- speed until 1t reached the bottom of
the grade. Then little by little the

the engine To pieces. grew slower, and
finally il stopped. No one was killed

UHR, HEAT VICTIM,
RECOVERING SENSES
Man Whose Mind Is Affected to Be
hTeld at the County Jail
for 10 Days.

]. c. Uhr, who was arrested Friday
night when it was thought he had be-
come insane from the heat, has been
sent to the county Jail on a Today SEN
tence The charge against him was
made disorderly conduct. 1t is be-
lieved that he was rendered Temporal
rily insane by the excessive heat Fri
day and as he has since shown signs
of returning to his normal senses it
was thought best to keep him in jail
for a time rather than send him to
Watertown. Friday night Uhr left his
rooming house and announced that he
was going to sleep in the bed OF the
river where it was cool. The next
morning while confined at the police
station he insisted that he could see
through the walls Of his cell and that
there were a number Of friends on
the outside who desired to be with him
and who were restrained by the wall.
He esked permission several times to
knock the wall down. He has lost
most of his Authorizations, however,
and is improving.

MOLINE BARRIERS AT WAR
Gus Peacock Defies the Union and
Card Is Removed from Shop.

One Moline barber, Gus Peacock,
whose place is under the postof1ice,
defied the BARRIERS union by keeping
his shop open yesterday. All the
other places were closed in accord
ance with the agreement entered into
during the week. The union held
hurried meeting upon learning of
Peacock's being open and the execu-
tive committee called upon him and
removed the union sign from the
shop. The journeymen BARRIERS were
asked as to what course they intend
ed to pursue and their reply was
You see we are working, don't
your" Another meeting of the union
will be held Tuesday night and it
seems probable that Peacock's jour
neymen BARRIERS will be ousted from
the organization. 1t is understood
that another shop will remain open
next Sunday and join forces with Pea
cock in holding out against the un-
ion.

BILLS DRAWN IN
INSURANCE LOOT
Indictments Are Expected from
Grand Jury During the
Present Week.
RECONVENES ToMoRR oW
Taking of Testimony in Sensational
Investigation Understood to Be
Practically Completed.

The Rock Island county grand jury
investigation of the affairs leading up
to the disruption of the Fraternal Tri-
Dunes and the footing of dozen other
fraternal insurance societies will be
resumed tomorrow. The jury took a
recess two weeks ago in order to al
low States Attorney L. NJ. Magill to
devote his time to the prosecution of
the John w. Halves murder case.
With that case disposed of, the states
attorney is again free to give his atten-
ton to the insurance investigation.
From the fact that Mr.. Magill is
anxious to have court in session, or
at least to have one of the three cir
cult judges ready to convene court at
any time during the coming week, it
is inferred that there will be another
report of the jury forthcoming at once,
and that it will contain a number of
indictments Mr.. Magill states that he
is busy drawing indictments, but that
he has had little time for the work
and that he is not nearly as far along
as he could wish to be.
Assistant Attorney Sick.
Attorney c. E. Dietz, who has been
aiding in the drawing of indictments
under Mr.. Magill's direction, is so ser
iously i'll that he has had to give up
working entirely for time, and the re-
suit is the whole work has fallen upon
the states attorney. While he was not
quite certain, the states attorney an
nounced that in all probability there
will be no witnesses before the grand
jury when it reconvenes tomorrow,
and this is taken as further proof of
the belief that some indictments are
to be returned Just who the indict-
ments will be against has not been
given out, but it seems assured that
there will be a number of them. and
that the charges will run from perjury
to confidence game and obtaining
money under false representations.
