BOND Is SIGNED TO
RELEASE CITY FUNDS
County Treasurer w. III. Whiteside
Now Has the Plan Under
Amusement.

1t was announced in the columns
of The Argus last Saturday that the
city commission with the aid of the
city attorney had taken steps to re-
lease the money held by County
Treasurer w. H. Whiteside because
of the stringent need of the funds
in the city departments and because
of the affirmative ruling of the cir
cult court in Sangamon county on
the legality of the commission law
The plan was to furnish a bond of
$4,000 signed by 20 persons for
equal amounts to be filed upon the
release of s33, 900, the county treas
urer to furnish bond for the addi-
tional amount. The plan was push
ed along and several business men
had signed the bonds.
The plan was then submitted to
the county treasurer and he has tax
en- 1t under advisement 1t may be
stated here that the city, in addition
to being hard pressed for the funds
which are being held, is losing a lit
tie more than IS a day on interest
which would go to the city II 1t had
the funds. The commission is handi-
capped by lack OF funds and there
is a possibility that the credit Of the
city will be impaired.

FINE OUTLOOK FOR CORN
Crop Never Looked Better at This
Time of Year Than Now.


Never in my life saw corn in thiZ
country looking finer at this time
of the year than it does right now"
said well-known farmer in Rock
Island today. "In the first place, the
stand IS coed. Then, the weather
has favored the fight on weeds and
1 believe the crop has never been
as clean i'll the latter part Of June
as it is now. in growth the crop is
unusually well along. Most fields in
this vicinity will have received their
final blowing before July 4, and some
of them are ready to lay by right
now. Rye, wheat and some barley
are about ready to cut, and while
hay will be light it will be ready for
the harvest earlier than usual. Oats
are short, too, but are heading out
we'll and unless the weather from
now on is too dry there should be
a heavy crop of grain

RIDING BORROWED
MACHINE; WRECK
Arthur Lindstedt of Moline Has
an Expensive Experience
in Rock Island.
ARRESTED FOR SPEEDING
Also Bumps Into Team, Injuries a
Horse, Damages Motorcycle and
Ruins Clothing.

Borrowing motorcycle from friend
proved disastrous to Arthur Lindstedt
of Moline yesterday, for he was arrest
by humping into team which was 60
ing west on Fifth avenue near Thirty
fifth street Lindstedt was not familiar
with the operation of the machine, and
after he had tuned it up to 80 miles an
hour he was unable to slow it down.
His bump into the team was all that
stopped him. 1t began to look until
then that he would have to go till the
fuel in the tank was exhausted.
Officer Johnson arrested Lindstedt on
complaint of E. L O'Connor, owner of
the team. Lindstedt was fined SO and
costs by Police Magistrate Smith for
speeding. 1t appears as though he
would have to pay larger amount for
repairs to the motorcycle and doctor
bills for the horse which was injured
when the bucking machine struck it.
The damage to the motorcycle will
reach $50 at least. The owner appear
ed at the police station and carted the
machine away in a wagon. One of the
horses is undergoing treatment in a
veterinary hospital, and chances are
that Lindstedt will have to foot the
bill. Besides that, his clothes were
torn to shreds. He escaped with only
a few scratches on his body.

Phileamous Dumens was fined $40
and costs on a charge of disorderly

From Giving Information.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Sept az
Following an exhaustive investigation
into the deaths of six members of the
Burnham and Wayne families, whose
dead bodies were found in their homes
with their skulls split open by an axe
which was found nearby, the author
tiles have placed under arrest Antoine
DONATED, who is being held on suspici-
or of being the perpetrator of the
bloody deed.
The arrest grew out of a develop
ment that Donated had been engaged
to wed Mrs. Burnham, one of the
murdered women, more than eight
years ago, and before her marriage
to Burnham, n cook who is being
held also in connection with the kill
ing.
1t was on Information given by the
imprisoned husband, that DONATED was
taken into custody. 1t is thought
possible that DONATED. coming to this
city, found the object OF his old af-
fection. and in a fit of jealousy, or
seeking revenge, murdered the wo-
man, and probably slew the other peo-
pie, 60 prevent them from giving in
