THREEATTACK ONE
George Kalasik, Foreigner, Is
Beaten When He Refuses
to Buy Beer.
ASSAILANTS ARE ARRESTED
Escape to Davenport, But Are Caught
by Police There and Returned
to Rock Island.

George Kalasik, who halls from b.
hernia and who has not been in this
country very long, endeavored yester-
day evening to convince three young
fellows, with whom he was drinking,
that his native land was superior to
America. The argument became heat
ed and ended up in fight in which
the foreigner was given beating. The
ARRAY took place on Third avenue and
Twentieth street. The three support
ers of United States supremacy were
Harry Clark, James McCabe and John
Erie. KalaSik was pretty well tanked
at the time and it was the opinion Of
bystanders that he should have been
ignored by the other Fellows At any
rate, when the fight started, the three
had no difficulty in dispOsing of the
one, and after they had beaten him up
considerably they headed for Daven-
port by way of the ferry boat. The
local police got track of them immedi-
ately, and the Davenport force was
asked to arrest them when they got
off the boat, and this was done All
three were subsequently brought to
the police station in this city for trial
on charges of assault.
Steals shoes; Bound Over.

$500
Moline saloon Entered.
Some one in Moline is planning on
having one glorious drunk, it would
seem, as the saloon of Everett Wolsten-
croft, on Sixth avenue and Thirteenth
street in that city, was entered last
night and several bottles of whisky
and wine taken. No cash was missing
and the saloon was very little disturb
ed. but the intoxicants were missing
when the place was opened this morn
ing. Entrance was effected by means
of a cellar door

and sat down between the two women.
AS she did so the younger got up and
began pacing up and down the plat

she was offended at once.

addressing the four-year-old pickanin-
ny, but really speaking for the bene-

the bench. She's got bad blood in
her, all right-thnks cos she's got
good clothes, she owns dis bench.
why did she get up Auntie?" asked
the child.
Cos she thinks she's too good to
sit aside Of us, clustered the woman.
Cant anybody sit on these benches,
Auntie?" questioned the child.
"Of course they can, chile-but she
thinks just cos she's got good clothes
she's too good to sit aside Of us. Little
she knows" in louder key, little
