MORRISSEY'S BODY
SHIPPED TO OMAHA
Davenport Authorities Hear From
Mother of Victim of Rail
Accident.

The body of William J. Morrissey,
killed by Rock Island train on the out
skirts of Davenport, was shipped last
night TO Omaha. Morrissey's mother
telegraphed from Omaha requesting
that the remains be sent there to his
Old home.
Little could be gained concerning
the man here. 1t is intimated that
his folks are in comfortable Circum-
stances in Omaha. and he had been
employed as a horseshoer on Fourth
and Marquette streets in Davenport
for several months. During his res
idence here he has been boarding at
the home of William Alday, on Bow
ditch street. Sunday night he left his
room and stated that he was going TO
Cedar Rapids. No more was seen of
him. II is believed that he went at
once to the Rock Island tracks and got
on a freight train; that he got be-
tween the cars and while in this po-
sitiCu in Turnout yards he was thrown
between the tracks and the train pass
ed over his body. No one saw the aC-
Cident. however. The section men tes-
titled at the inquest conducted by
Coroner Rudolph. They told of the
finding of the body but could not go
further

START LAYING OF
UNDERGROUND WIRE
Apparatus for Fire System Being Put
Into COnduits of Telephone
Company.

The work of laying about three
miles of underground cables for the
new fire system was started this af-
ternoon by a gang of men under the
direction of City Electrician William
McNealy. The first cable, some 500
feet in length. was run into the con-
duit of the Central Union Telephone
company from the m22hOie q: :he
corner of Sixteenth street and Third
avenue and from there it was taken
to the Central fire station. The fire
cable contains 10 pairs of wires
which are for the exclusive use of
the fire system. The aerial wiring
for the fire alarm boxes, all of which
is outside the fire limits. has already
been completed and with the install
lation of the underground cables, the
system will be ready for operation.

HEAVY PROBLEM
FOR GROUND HOG
Weather Bureau Trying, 1t Is Claim
ed, to Put Him Out of Bust
ness With Cold Wave.

The song of the wild goose is again
heard in the land, and the first robin
is no doubt on the way, the sparrows
have begun their noisy debates over
the location of their summer homes,
the ice in the Mississippi has begun
to break up and chalk rings are again
TO be seen on the sidewalks. Further
more, the frost is nearly all out of
the ground, and the dirt roads are
beginning to dry and settle. All of
which, while entirely proper for March
Is, is decidedly out of place Feb. l.
The gardener is in doubt whether to
plant his early truck now or wait
awhile, and the farmer is debating
whether to SOW clover and begin test
ing his seed corn, while the average
plain citizen doesn't know what to
think. Under such circumstances par
ticUlar weight will attach TO the &C
lions of the ground hog tomorrow.
Seldom has such a grave responsibility
rested upon him as now.
In the meantime the weather de
Partment butts into the game with a
cold wave warning. which is declared
by the friends of the ground hog TO
be nothing more than an attempt 10

work. None of these long range fore

Chicagoan. Just Across Street. Cant
Locate New Harper.

Standing on the corner of Nine
teenth street and Second avenue and
wondering for a space Of ] ; minutes
as to the location OF the New Har-
per is the experience Of a Chicago
travelling man who came here at a
rather late hour last night. The Chi
cagoan had been imbibing rather
freely, probably on the way down
from the Windy City. At any rate
when he ahghted at the Thirty-first
street depot, he didn't know his left
hand from his right He came down
town in car and got off at Nine
teenth street The huge electric
sign on the northeast corner Of the
New Harper did not catch his eye,
neither did the ornamental light
posts around the front and side OF
the hostelry, nor yet the big electric
sign at the cafe in the rear on the
Nineteenth street side. He hesitat-
ed about asking passers, fearing that
he might fall into the hands OF some
sharper who would lead him astray 4
policeman finally came along on his
beat and the Chicagoan rushed TO
him for the desired Information and
received IL. He didn't seem TO think
IT was funny. either, that he had
stood on the corner across from the
Harper for a quarter Of an hour

HOLDUP As JOKE?.
Wooden Revolvers Said to
Have Been Employed in
Frightening Grew.
WORK OF MASQUERADERS
Young Men Returning Home From
Dance Enact Role of Highway
men and Terrorize Victims.

The sensational attempt to hold up
the crew of a Long View car al mid
night a few weeks ago turns out to
have been the work of practical jokers,
according to a story that has leaked
out in Davenport. The Democrat of
that city prints the following story:
Truth will out. even in robbery. and
the fact that it happened in Rock Is
land spreads. in way, mantle of eX-
tenuation over the true circumstances
1t has never been argued that street
car men are particularly susceptible to
imaginary fears, but story is being
told, which has good authoritative
backing, to the effect that the motor
man, conductor and lone passenger on
a Long View car a week ago were the
victims of a practical joke which has
caused a certain amount of investiga-
ton on the part of the street car com
pany officials, the police department
and the three near-victims themselves.
Il is rumored that the truth has been
learned by members of the car crew,
but that they are striving TO the best
of their ability TO keep the secret dark.
RETURNING FROM DANCE.
That three young men returning from
a masquerade and CARRIED as cowboys.
each carrying a wooden revolver of
some proportions, should be able to
hold up and brighten the crew of the
Long View car and cause a sudden and
unmeditated flight into the surround
ing yet friendly gloom, seems too ludi-
crous to be true, but it happened in
Rock Island, and that is sufficient ex-
PLANTATION. The three young men got
away with their joke and the three
near-victims also got away for the time
being, but they are now coming back,
since the story of the holdup is being
divulged.
The story OF the hOldup was heralded
wide and near at the time it happened
and the story was live one. One lone
passenger and the car crew of the Long
View car held up by three armed and
masked men at 11:40 o'clock at the
dark intersection of Eighteenth ave
nue. and Twenty-fourth street, as the
car was making its last trip, sounded
good, as the conductor had something
like 500 on his person at the time.
FRUSTRATED BY NOTORMAN.
The plan was frustrated by the mo-
torman. AS he slowed down for the
three men, whom he took to be passen-
gers, he saw the weapons and he put
on full power and would have escaped
with his car and not one of the mask
ed men jerked the trolley off the wire
as it sped past them. Seeing them
selves sure victims of three desperate
men, the three fed from the front end
of the car, and as no shots were fired.
all managed to escape with their lives.
1t was a narrowing escape, but the
robbers busted the roads equally as
fast in their efforts to vacate the scene.

tanning some metal. The ovens in
which the coins were baked were
also taken as evidence.
Rooney has as much as confessed
and being an old offender. having
been sentenced to three years in the
penitentiary for the same crime lit

SIN OPPOSITION TO GOD
DIR. Reed Analyses Real Nature of
Immoral Life in Sermon

In his sermon last evening at the
First Baptist church, the pastor, Rev.
II. w. Reed, explained the real nature
of sin. at is not merely fault, or
an error. or a mistake. but in its real
nature 1t is the insistence of the hu-
man will in place of the divine" said
DR.. Reed. Put into one word, sin Is
opposition to God: and this is true in
all lives, whether OF those viciously
evil, or of those upright. The immoral
man is dominated by an opposition TO
God, when, knowing Gods will. he re
fuses TO obey it" The large chorus
choir is a great help in the work, and
the pastor, after nine years OF resi-
dent service is so well known that he
is evidently all the better fitted for
such service as he is now rendering.
The topic this evening will follow di-
rectly from that of last evening, and
will be "The Deadliness Of Sin"
