]. Smith this morning, Justice Mis-
sen asked for change Of venue and
it was granted. 1t is coincidence
that the Justices own court is the
nearest one to the police court and
rightly and ordinarily a case would
be taken there on a change Of venue.
However, under the circumstances,
it will be aired in the court of JUS

JOKING IS RESENTED.
It was shortly before l o'clock
this morning that the blue coat and
the justice met near Twenty-second
street and Third avenue. Officer
Kinney and Captain Reynolds had
jax sent a man to the police sta
ton in charge of Detective Herman
Sehnert. Justice Nissen had been an
eye witness of the arrest. Officer
Kinney when walking past him said:
You're out rather late aren't you,
George?" The reply, says the cop,
was not very polite. Another ques-
ton, addressed in friendly manner.
received the same retort. The Of
ficer, surprised by the words address
ed to him, asked the justice what
the matter was. The justice replied
Kinney and thereupon the arrest
was made Nissen was released on
his own recognizance

MAN IS DROWNED
IN MIDSTREA

A skiff containing two men turned
over just above the Rock Island bridge
in the Mississippi river this afternoon
about 10 minutes before o'clock, and
one of the men was drowned.
The other one was rescued by boat
men who put out from the Davenport
shore in response to calls for help.
Who the drowned man was could not
be learned. 1t is understood the two
were on a camping trip and the boat
was heavily laden with camping out
fit.
II was this fact that caused the over
turning of the skiff.
