Burlington Hawk-Eye: John KEEL
ley, who works on the Burlington
route steel gang, at or near Mt. Pleas
ant, had an adventure last night that
he will remember to his dying day,
and that might have been his last. He
had run across stranger and had
some words with him near the car
barn on South Main street, and the
preliminaries for a set-to seemed IN
der way. when the unknown drew a
knife. He stabbed Kelley in the chest
and ran, disappearing in the dark
| ness. The knife, which had blade
more than four inches long, and
/ ground to a point, penetrated the
/! breast bone and was left in the
wound. Had it gone to one side, the
lung would have been pierced and
death would probably have ensued.
| Kelley, who feared that he might be
arrested, wandered up the street and
down to the levee, and was found
there by the police officers. He was
| turned over to physician who dress
! ed the wound, which is not considered
| dangerous, and then he went to a
! al - 10 ~
/ the assailant is not known but he is
| believed to be employed in Kemper's
| quarry south of town The officers
| have a good description of him, and
Kelley is confident that he could iden

at ten o'clock and the police did not
get any news of 1t until midnight
the would-be murderer had a good
chance to get away. At late hour
; this morning no trace of him had
been discovered
LIN the society columns OF the
Burlington Haw-Eye yesterday morn
ing, neat and cleverly written pas
sage on the neighborly spirit ap
peared and will be of interest and
serve to make local people think more
about the friendlier spirit that should
exist between neighboring cities. The
clipping reads: The chautauqua sea
son has come. The roads are in fine
condition and automobiling was never
better. 1t is the season when many
can and do take few days for an
outing. Burlingtonians are great trav
elers, and they seem to delight in
covering great distances. 1t matters
not, that they return more weary and
worn than when they entered upon
their brief vacation, If they have only
eaten up vast amount of mileage
And thus it happens that there are
very many people in Burlington who
are fairly familiar with Denver, Kan
sas City, Omaha St Louis, ST. Paul,
Chicago and New York, but who know
nothing of the very pretty towns
